Age Verification and Compliance with the Offensive Weapons Act 2019

AGE RESTRICTION

Knives.co.uk adheres to the Offensive Weapons Act 2019, actively supporting the government's endeavours to regulate knife sales to individuals under the age of 18.

When placing an order for any of our knives, you must confirm that you are over 18 years old.

Our website employs age verification technology during the checkout process, utilising the information provided, including your date of birth to validate your identity and age. It is crucial to provide accurate information. Data is transmitted to multiple third parties using various data sources to furnish us with a pass or fail result for each order. The age verification technology we utilize aligns with PAS1296 (Online Age Verification with British Standards), and we have no access to the data they retain.

In instances where the purchaser does not pass the verification, we will reach out via phone or email, requesting a photocopy or photo of their ID (either a passport or driver's license).

Failure to provide these details will lead to the cancellation and refund of the order.

If we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the recipient is under 18 or that our products will be handed to someone under 18, we reserve the right to refuse the order.

Our carriers insist on Age Verification on Delivery to release the parcel, clearly marking the packaging as unsuitable for those under 18. Upon delivery, the purchaser must once again present suitable ID to confirm they are over 18. If repeated delivery attempts are unsuccessful, the item will be returned to us.
