KiwiWheel.com (kiwiwheel.com) • New Zealand • Effective date: 25 March 2026
KiwiWheel.com is intended for people who are at least 18 years old (or the legal age required to access, purchase, or use any age-restricted products, services, or content offered on the site, if higher). By using the site, you confirm you meet this requirement.
1) How we age-gate access
We may present an age-gate that requires you to confirm you are 18+ before continuing.
We may restrict certain pages, features, promotions, or checkout flows unless an age confirmation is completed.
If you indicate you are under 18, access may be blocked and you may be redirected away from restricted areas.
2) Age verification methods
To support compliance, prevent minors from accessing restricted experiences, and meet platform/partner requirements, we may request additional verification. Depending on context, verification can include one or more of the following:
Declaration/self-certification of age (e.g., a checkbox or date-of-birth entry).
Manual review of proof of age (e.g., government-issued photo ID), with sensitive details minimized where possible.
Checks tied to account activity or transaction signals (e.g., payment method verification) to help assess eligibility.
If ID is requested, we will only use it to confirm age/eligibility and handle it in line with our privacy practices and legal obligations.
3) If we suspect or confirm a user is underage
We may deny access to restricted areas and suspend or close the account.
We may request proof of age before allowing further use.
If underage is confirmed, we may cancel pending orders/requests, issue refunds where applicable, and remove access to age-restricted services.
We may retain limited records needed for safety, fraud prevention, chargeback handling, and legal compliance.
4) Parents and guardians: controls and guidance
If you are a parent/guardian and believe a minor is using this site, consider using device and platform tools to restrict access:
Enable OS-level parental controls (Apple Screen Time, Google Family Link, Windows/Microsoft Family Safety).
Use browser/app restrictions and SafeSearch features.
Restrict app installs and in-app purchases on mobile devices.
Consider router/DNS filtering for household networks.
5) Advertising and marketing to minors
We do not knowingly target advertising to minors. Where we use advertising platforms, we configure age restrictions and targeting exclusions intended to prevent ads from being served to people under 18, and we avoid creative and placements intended to appeal to minors. If we learn that marketing was directed to or collected from an underage user, we will take steps to stop it and remediate as appropriate.
6) Contact and policy updates
If you have questions about age verification, or want to report a suspected underage account, contact us at contact@kiwiwheel.com or call +64 21 864 7391. We may update this policy from time to time; the effective date above shows when it was last revised.
