Under-13s are not intended users; ages 13 to 18 need a supervising parent who accepts the Terms

The Shop is not targeted at or intended for anyone under 13. Someone between 13 and 18 may access and participate in the Shop only under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms. The eligibility section separately says that logging in and making purchases requires being at least 18 (the sentence is cut off after "or the age"), so the minor-supervision rule and the purchase rule are not clearly reconciled.

Supporting quotations

Be at least 18 years old or the age.

Qualifications & exceptions

  • Supervision applies to access and participation by 13 to 18 year olds; log-in and purchase eligibility is stated separately.

Not stated here

  • How the supervised access for ages 13 to 18 fits with the 18-and-over log-in and purchase requirement is not explained; the age-of-majority wording in the eligibility list is incomplete.

Account & Service Control · Restriction or exception

Logging in and buying requires age 18, contiguous-US residence and a Rewards account

To log in and make purchases on the Shop, users must be at least 18 years old "or the age" (the sentence is incomplete as published), reside in the contiguous United States (excluding Alaska, Hawaii and US Territories; the parenthesis is not closed in the source), and have a valid Starbucks Rewards account. The Rewards account is required to access ecommerce features including product ordering, subscription management and order history. The subscription section repeats that a Rewards account is needed to log in, place a subscription order and modify it. This 18-and-over rule sits alongside the personal-use section's supervised access for ages 13 to 18.
