Age Verification Policy

Legal Age Requirements

ZERO20 strictly complies with Dutch and EU alcohol regulations. According to Dutch law (Drank- en Horecawet), the legal age to purchase, receive, or consume alcoholic beverages is 18 years or older.

By using our website and placing an order, you confirm that:
– You are at least 18 years of age
– You are legally permitted to purchase alcohol in your country or region
– The information you provide during checkout is accurate and truthful

We reserve the right to cancel any order if age verification cannot be confirmed.

Verification Process

To maintain compliance and prevent underage sales, ZERO20 uses a two-step verification process:

1. Website Age Gate
Visitors must confirm they are 18+ before entering the site. This acts as an initial compliance layer, as required for online alcohol vendors.

2. Delivery ID Check
All shipments require the courier to perform an adult signature and age verification at the door. The recipient must show valid government-issued identification such as:
– Passport
– National ID card
– Driver’s license

Orders will not be delivered to minors, and packages will not be left unattended.

Compliance

Our policies follow Dutch and EU legislation, including:
– Drank- en Horecawet (Alcohol Licensing & Regulations)
– EU Consumer Rights Directive
– GDPR data protection rules
– Regulations for distance selling and alcohol shipment

ZERO20 may refuse or cancel orders if we cannot confidently verify the customer’s age or identity.

We continuously review our procedures to ensure safe, legal, and responsible distribution of alcoholic beverages. Your cooperation helps us uphold responsible drinking standards and comply with international regulations.

Responsible Drinking

Our Commitment

At ZERO20, we champion a culture of enjoyment, responsibility, and moderation. Our cocktails are crafted for adults who appreciate quality and drink with awareness.

– Age verification and restricted delivery policies

Our mission is to provide premium cocktails while promoting safe, respectful, and mindful drinking habits.

Guidelines
