  3. We do not have to accept payments and can choose to cancel orders at any point before despatch.
  4. A contract between Vapemate and the customer will only be formed when goods are paid for and the order is accepted by us.  This brings into existence a legally binding contract between us.

Age Verification

According to current UK legislation, only people who are over the age of 18 can buy E-cigarettes. We must now confirm the age of any customers wanting to purchase our items as a result of a law passed on May 20th 2017.

We are authorised to use any personal information, provided by you, to carry out and conduct relevant age verification checks.

By using our website you accept these terms*

Where you have asked us to provide a restricted product or service, you consent to allow us to share your information with, and collect information from, One Account Mobile Limited (1account) and third-party providers of identity data to 1account. This consent is necessary for 1account to verify that you meet the minimum age and identity verification requirements as determined by relevant UK age restriction and other legislations. You consent to allow 1account to retain relevant data for the purpose of future verifications.

All data processed by 1account is subject to appropriate security measures. Data retained by 1account is subject to periodic review to ensure it is not held for longer than necessary. You can find information about how 1account manages your personal data and view their privacy policy by visiting their website: 1account.net.

Occasionally, the age verification examination may fail or be referred. In these cases, we'll ask for passport or driving license information from you so that they can manually check your details against the relevant database. If you do not wish to share this information with us, we will be able to cancel and refund your order.

If you're having trouble checking your information using the instructions we emailed to you, use the steps below to double-check it;

* You should have received an email from 1Account, which contains a link to confirm your information. Please look in your spam folder if you do not see an email from 1Account.

* You'll be required to verify your information in a variety of ways, including by phone, credit card, debit card, UK driving licence, citizencard, national DB or electoral roll.

* The fastest method to confirm your purchase is to input your mobile phone number; alternatively, please provide the requested information when prompted, for whichever option is chosen.

* After you've completed verification, your order will be submitted and sent. You will not need to verify your information again if you place another order as long as you log into your account as usual and any changes to your profile are valid.

*Please note that if for any reason you fail the age verification check, there is a strong possibility that the delivery of your order will be delayed. If this occurs, please contact customer services immediately on 01277 523205 or email us at cs@vapemate.co.uk
