At OzSwords, we prioritize safety, responsible retailing, and strict compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations. Because our catalog includes replica swords, movie collectibles, and decorative bladed articles, we enforce a strict age gate of 18 years or older on all transactions.

Legal Requirements

In compliance with applicable domestic and international regulations governing the sale of bladed collectibles and decorative edges, it is strictly prohibited to sell these items to minors. You must be at least 18 years of age to browse our catalog, register an account, or complete a purchase on our website. By using this site, you affirm that you meet these legal requirements.

Age Verification Process

To ensure full compliance and prevent unauthorized sales to minors, we utilize a multi-step age verification protocol:

  • At Checkout: By completing a transaction and agreeing to our Terms of Service, you certify under penalty of perjury that you are at least 18 years of age. We reserve the right to utilize secure, third-party identity verification databases to cross-reference billing details against public records to instantly confirm your age.
  • Manual Verification: If our automated system cannot clearly verify your age from your billing data, your order will be placed on hold. Our customer service team will contact you to request a secure upload of a valid, government-issued photo identification (such as a Passport or State Driver’s License). Failure to provide verifiable proof of age within 72 hours will result in an immediate order cancellation and a full refund.
  • At Delivery: Packages containing age-restricted bladed items may require an adult signature upon delivery by our courier partners. Packages will not be left unattended, on porches, or in automated lockers if an adult is not present to accept the delivery.

Prohibited Use by Minors

Minors under the age of 18 are strictly prohibited from purchasing items from our store. We do not condone or accept the use of payment methods belonging to parents or legal guardians by minors to bypass our security parameters. The named individual completing the checkout transaction must be the legal adult undergoing the verification check.
