This means that these Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims), will be governed by English law. We both agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
l) Confirmation of compliance. These Terms should not be used as a confirmation of compliance of any particular law. However we can provide information about our Service and assurance to Regulatory bodies, enforcement agencies and interested third-parties that we are providing a live service at the time of enquiry and reserve the right to do so.

m) Reliance on Age Check Tools. Our Age Check Tool uses data from a number of third party services in order to determine whether a customer is over the legal age in the respective country. We do not control the source of the data and there may be circumstances in which the data is not up to date or incorrect. We also rely on third parties to determine the location of the customer via the customer’s IP address and whether the customer is located behind an anonymous proxy. We cannot be held liable if our Age Check Tools return an incorrect result due to our reliance on incorrect data. You acknowledge that our third-party data suppliers, respective officers, employees, agents and licensors have no liability to you whatsoever in connection with these Terms. Also, we will constantly endeavour to include Age Check methods and technologies which are acceptable by the competent regulator of the country of age verification services in which the country is located. However, it is ultimately up to you to confirm that the controls implemented on your site to perform age checks are suitable, whether such controls are provided by us in the form of
the Age Check Tool or otherwise.
