Terms of Service

Use CAGE honestly. We will keep the service focused and private.

These terms describe what CAGE provides, how accounts and partner access work, and the limits of the service.

Last updated: March 2026

What CAGE is

CAGE is an age verification service. We confirm that users meet a minimum age threshold and share that result with partner websites via standard OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect.

We are not an identity provider in the traditional sense. We do not store or share personal identity information beyond the minimum required to operate the service.

Accounts

  • You need a valid email address to create an account
  • One account per person
  • You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure
  • You must be at least 13 years old to create an account

Acceptable use

The following are not permitted:

  • Attempting to fraudulently verify your age
  • Using someone else's identity documents
  • Attempting to reverse-engineer anonymous partner IDs
  • Abusing the API or attempting to circumvent rate limits

For partners

  • Partner credentials are confidential and must not be shared
  • Partners must not attempt to correlate users across other CAGE partners
  • Partners must not store raw ID tokens beyond immediate session needs
  • CAGE may revoke partner access for violations

Availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee 100% uptime. SLA guarantees are available only on Enterprise plans.

We will communicate planned downtime in advance when possible.

Data and deletion

Users can delete their account and associated data from the dashboard. Deletion is permanent and irreversible. We do not maintain backups of deleted user data beyond standard infrastructure retention windows.

See our Privacy Policy for full data handling details.

Liability

CAGE is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the service.

We are not liable for partner sites' decisions based on age verification results, or for actions taken by partner sites against their users.

Our total liability to you for claims arising from use of CAGE shall not exceed the amounts you paid us in the three months preceding the claim.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of CAGE after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

We will notify registered users by email for material changes.
