Age Verification Policy

1. Our Commitment

We take underage sales prevention seriously. 3sins employs multiple layers of age verification to ensure that all customers purchasing age-restricted products are legally permitted to do so.

Our commitment includes:

• Verifying age at account creation
• Requiring valid ID at every delivery of age-restricted products
• Training all couriers on proper ID verification procedures
• Maintaining detailed records for regulatory compliance
• Cooperating fully with law enforcement investigations

2. Age Requirements

To purchase age-restricted products through 3sins, you must be:

• 21 years or older for all alcohol products
• 21 years or older for all tobacco and nicotine products

These requirements are mandated by Nevada state law and federal regulations. There are no exceptions.

3. Verification Methods

3.1 At Account Creation

When you create a 3sins account, we verify your age through multiple methods:

1. Date of Birth Verification: You must provide your date of birth, which is checked against our minimum age requirement.
2. Third-Party Age Verification: We use industry-leading age verification services that check your information against authoritative databases.
3. Document Verification: If automated verification is inconclusive, you may be required to submit a clear photo of your government-issued ID.

3.2 At Order Placement

When placing an order containing age-restricted products, you must confirm that:

• You are 21 years of age or older
• You will have valid ID available at delivery
• You (or someone 21+ with valid ID) will be present to receive the order

4. Accepted Forms of ID

The following government-issued photo IDs are accepted for age verification at delivery:

4.1 Accepted IDs

• Driver's License: Valid, non-expired license from any U.S. state or territory
• State Identification Card: Valid, non-expired ID card issued by any U.S. state or territory
• U.S. Passport: Valid, non-expired U.S. passport or passport card
• Military ID: Valid U.S. military identification card

4.2 IDs NOT Accepted

• Expired IDs: Any ID past its expiration date
• Vertical IDs: Under-21 format IDs (typically printed vertically)
• Foreign IDs: IDs issued by other countries (except valid U.S. passport)
• Damaged IDs: IDs that are torn, altered, or illegible
• Digital IDs: Photos of IDs on phones are not accepted
• Student IDs: College or university ID cards

5. At Delivery

Every delivery of age-restricted products requires in-person ID verification. Our couriers are trained to:

1. Request valid photo ID from the person receiving the order
2. Verify the ID is not expired and is an acceptable form
3. Confirm the photo matches the person presenting the ID
4. Calculate and verify the birth date shows the person is 21+
5. Check for signs of tampering or alteration
6. Scan or photograph the ID for compliance records

Note: The ID holder must be the person receiving the delivery. IDs cannot be presented by someone else on behalf of the customer.

6. Delivery Refusal

Our couriers are authorized and required to refuse delivery in the following circumstances:

• No valid ID is presented
• The ID is expired, damaged, or appears altered
• The ID is a vertical (under-21) format
• The photo does not match the person presenting the ID
• The birth date shows the person is under 21
• The person appears visibly intoxicated
• The courier suspects the ID is fraudulent
• No one 21+ is available to receive the order

If delivery is refused, the order will be returned to the merchant. You may be charged a restocking fee. Repeated refusals may result in account suspension.

7. Compliance Training

All 3sins couriers complete comprehensive training on age verification, including:

• Legal requirements for age-restricted product sales in Nevada
• How to identify valid and invalid forms of ID
• How to spot fake or altered IDs
• Signs of intoxication and how to handle refusals
• Proper ID scanning and documentation procedures
• Consequences of non-compliance (legal and employment)

Couriers must pass certification testing and receive regular refresher training. Failure to follow verification procedures results in immediate termination.

8. Record Keeping

We maintain detailed records of age verification for compliance purposes, including:

• Account verification status and method used
• ID scan/image from each delivery (encrypted and secured)
• Date, time, and location of each verification
• Courier ID who performed the verification
• Any refusals and the reason for refusal

Records are retained for a minimum of 7 years as required by Nevada liquor control regulations. This information is kept confidential and is only disclosed as required by law.

9. Reporting Violations

If you witness or suspect any violation of our age verification policy, please report it immediately:

• Email: compliance@3sins.com
