Age Verification Policy

THIS WEBSITE CONTAINS PRODUCTS INTENDED EXCLUSIVELY FOR ADULTS OF LEGAL SMOKING AGE. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OF AGE TO PURCHASE FROM THIS SITE.

At R Staar LLC (operating as rstaarvape.com), we are firmly dedicated to youth prevention and maintaining strict adherence to all federal, state, and local regulations governing the sale and distribution of electronic cigarettes, vapor hardware, nicotine products, and related accessories.

1. Minimum Legal Age Requirement (21+)

Under U.S. Federal Law and the Tobacco 21 legislation, customers must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age to browse our products or place an order on rstaarvape.com.

  • Prohibited Conduct: Falsifying your age, providing misleading identity details, or purchasing products on behalf of a minor (proxy purchasing) is strictly illegal, punishable by law, and will result in an immediate and permanent ban from our services.
  • ID Matching: The full legal name on the purchasing account and payment method must strictly match the name provided on the government-issued photo identification.
2. How Our Age Verification Process Works

To ensure complete regulatory compliance, R Staar LLC utilizes industry-standard, automated third-party age verification software at checkout:

  1. Automated Public Record Check: During checkout, your full legal name, permanent residential billing address, date of birth, and (where applicable) the last four digits of your Social Security Number (SSN) are cross-referenced against public identity and credit databases to verify that you are at least 21 years old.
  2. Secondary Document Verification (Manual Review): If our automated system cannot immediately verify your identity through public records, or if you prefer not to enter your information, you will be prompted to submit a clear, unexpired government-issued photo ID (such as a Driver’s License, State ID, or Passport).
  3. Data Security & Privacy: All personal information and identification images submitted solely for age verification are processed through secure, encrypted connections (SSL/TLS). This data is used exclusively to validate adult eligibility and is not retained or sold for marketing purposes.
3. Order Hold & Cancellation Policy

If an order fails automated verification and the purchaser fails to provide legible, valid identification within 48 hours, R Staar LLC reserves the unconditional right to cancel the order and issue a full refund to the original payment method.

4. Adult Signature Required on Delivery

Passing online checkout verification is only the first step. In accordance with federal shipping regulations for vapor merchandise:

  • All physical packages require an Adult Signature (21+) with government photo ID at the doorstep upon delivery.
  • Carriers are legally prohibited from leaving packages unattended or releasing packages to individuals under the age of 21.
5. Right to Refuse Service

Due to the highly regulated nature of tobacco and vapor products, R Staar LLC reserves the right to decline or restrict service to any individual or shipping location at our sole discretion where compliance concerns, fraudulent activity, or legal ambiguities arise.
