Age Verification Policy
At VapekitUK, we are committed to responsible vaping. To comply with UK law (The Nicotine Inhaling Products Regulations 2015), we strictly limit the sale of our products including Hayati Vapes, e-liquids, and hardware to individuals 18 years of age or older.
Why do we verify your age?
In the UK, it is illegal to sell any nicotine-inhaling products, including nicotine-free e-liquids and disposable vapes, to anyone under the age of 18. It is also illegal for an adult to purchase these products on behalf of a minor (proxy purchasing).
To ensure we meet our legal obligations and protect young people, we use a robust, industry-recognised digital age verification system.
How Digital Age Verification Works
We have made the process as seamless as possible. In most cases, verification happens instantly in the background when you place your first order.
1. The Automated Check
When you enter your details at checkout, our system AgeChecked cross-references your Full Name, Billing Address, and Date of Birth against secure public records, such as the UK Electoral Roll or credit reference data.
-
Note: This is an ID check, not a credit check. It will not affect your credit score.
2. Information Required
To ensure a successful check on your first attempt, please ensure:
-
You use your Full Legal Name (e.g., "Richard" instead of "Rick").
-
Your Billing Address matches the address registered with your bank.
-
Your Date of Birth is entered correctly.
What happens if the check fails?
On rare occasions, the system may not be able to verify you automatically (for example, if you have recently moved house or changed your name). If this happens:
-
Manual Verification: You will be prompted to provide a valid form of ID.
-
Accepted Documents: A clear photo of your UK Driving Licence, Passport, or PASS-accredited card.
-
Secure Upload: You can securely upload these via our partner's encrypted portal. Once verified, your account is marked as "Age Verified," and you won't need to do it again for future purchases.
Orders that cannot be verified will be cancelled and refunded in full.
Your Privacy & Data Security
We take your privacy seriously. Your personal data is processed in strict accordance with UK GDPR.
-
We only use your data for the sole purpose of age verification.
-
Third-party verification partners do not store your documents after the check is complete.
-
Your information is never sold or used for marketing without your explicit consent.
Special Note: Quitting cigarette vape is the perfect choice. We are here to support adult smokers in their journey toward a smoke-free future.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does age verification cost me anything?
No. The cost of verification is entirely covered by VapekitUK.
Will I be asked for ID every time I buy?
No. Once your account is verified, you can log in and purchase Hayati Pro Ultra or any other product without repeating the process, provided your details remain the same.
What if I am buying as a gift?
The person placing the order and paying for the goods must be 18+. We reserve the right to cancel orders if we suspect a proxy purchase for a minor.
