Can I Sell My Products to Minors?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>An e-commerce business can be highly profitable and offer opportunities for globalisation. However, when running an online business, it can be challenging to determine to whom you can legally sell your products. For example, some products may be age-restricted, and it is essential to be aware of relevant laws to protect your business. Further, you may need to take extra steps if you sell products to minors. This article will outline whether you can sell your goods to minors and relevant information you should note.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contractual Aspects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before determining if you can sell goods to minors, it is best to outline the <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/commercial-contracts\/legally-binding-agreement-new-zealand\/\">basics of a contract.<\/a> A contract is a binding agreement you enter every time you sell a good. A contract has the following elements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>offer to sell your products;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>certainty of terms, which you can state in your terms and conditions;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>acceptance by the customer to purchase the good; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>consideration, which is usually money in exchange for your offering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can set out your contract terms in your website terms and conditions. Once customers accept this, you can create a valid contract with them. Note that if the good your customer is purchasing has an extended warranty, you will need to create a <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/commercial-contracts\/does-nz-contract-need-be-written\/\">written agreement<\/a> for it to be binding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"box box--icon box--info\">\n    <p>Usually, a contract will also require an intention to create legal relations. Generally, parties will detail this in a formal document. However, in a commercial context, consideration is often enough to show the intention to enter into a legal relationship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"my-7 lg:my-10 border-y-2 border-gray-100 py-7 lg:py-10 flex flex-col sm:flex-row items-start gap-10\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-52 mx-auto my-0! rounded\" src=\"https:\/\/img.legalvision.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/17082932\/return-to-work-safely-toolkit-nz.jpg\" alt=\"Front page of publication\"\n                 loading=\"lazy\" width=\"208\" height=\"298\">\n                <section>\n            <div class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Marketing Plan - Digital Business<\/div>\n            <div class=\"body-text\">\n                <p>Need help marketing your digital business?

However, every contract has an additional element that both parties must have the legal capacity to enter into a contract. Often minors lack this capacity. Hence, you cannot enforce a contract against them. In some cases, minors do have the capacity to enter into a contract, but this depends on the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>type of contract; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>context of the contract.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, a minor can enter into a contract for a job. However, if you sell age-restricted products such as alcohol or vapes, you can only legally sell to those 18 and over. You should note that the age restriction will depend on the product. For example, you can only sell aerosol paints to someone aged 16. Therefore, you must have systems to verify a person\u2019s age. Further, you can ask for an ID before selling the item to protect you from legal penalties.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is up to you whether you want to sell to minors. Verification systems can make it harder for minors to buy products. However, this can reduce the overall revenue of your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n   class=\"block p-4 mt-10 text-xl font-bold text-center text-white no-underline

To combat this, you can include a clause in your terms and conditions that states a parent or guardian must approve the minor entering into a transaction. Therefore, the adult will be fulfilling the contract instead of the minor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"box box--icon box--idea\">\n    <p>For example, suppose a minor wishes to purchase apparel from you. Accordingly, their parent or legal guardian can allow the transaction. If an issue arises, you can then contact the parent or guardian.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure the purchaser has read and accepted the <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/e-commerce\/key-terms-and-conditions-to-review-when-purchasing-from-new-zealand-online-stores\/\">terms and conditions<\/a>, you can display it through a clickwrap agreement. A clickwrap agreement is when your terms and conditions appear immediately after a user enters your website. The user must then tick a box stating they accept your terms and conditions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When running your online business, you must be aware of whether you can sell your goods to minors. Additionally, your contract must include the requisite elements of offer, acceptance, consideration and all parties having the legal capacity to enter into it. Generally, minors do not have this capacity. To sell goods to minors, you can allow their parent or guardian to approve the transaction and have age verification systems in place. Accordingly, it is essential you make these requirements clear in your terms and conditions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need help understanding if you can sell goods to minors, you can contact our experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/business-lawyers-lp-new-zealand\">business lawyers<\/a> to assist as part of our LegalVision membership.
