Bidi™ Youth Access
Prevention Program
Bidi™ STANDS STRONGLY AGAINST YOUTH ACCESS TO THE Bidi™ STICK!
Our Bidi™ Stick is exclusively for adult vape users and smokers. It is in no way intended for the use of adolescents and individuals under the age of 21.
Bidi™ Vapor stays updated and aware of the established prevention campaigns against youth access of vape products, and stands firmly by this advocacy. We are deeply committed to uphold and adhere to these regulations from the state laws of California and prevent minors from having access to the Bidi™ Stick. Bidi™ Vapor is actively involved in the prohibition of sales to minors by implementing effective age restrictions, both online and offline. Our strict verification methods help restrict product sales to anyone who is under the required legal age.
Responsible Product Marketing
Bidi™ Vapor Shows How It Should Be Done
Bidi™ Vapor has taken all the necessary steps to combat against the rampant underage use of vapor products with its Bidi™ Youth Access Prevention Program. Aside from the childproof packaging and businesslike design, we have implemented security measures to curb underage vapers from accessing our Bidi™ Sticks. From our strict age-verification during product purchase to our identity verification system during delivery, we stand by and advocate for the message that no underage clients shall be able to access vape products.
With the goal of solidly supporting against underage purchases, Bidi™ Vapor has partnered with AgeChecker.Net to validate the provided information of customers. . For any attempt to purchase any product within the Bidi™ Stick website, a comprehensive and mandatory public search is done to ensure and confirm the age qualification of the customer prior to completing the transaction. In the instance that the verification system fails to confirm the real age of the purchaser, they will be requested to present and submit a copy of a government-issued identification card. Their purchase transaction will be placed on pending until a Bidi™ Stick customer service representative confirms the authenticity of the identification card. Our customer service representatives will also call the customers within 24 hours of the transaction to further verify their age and identity. Once validated, the shipment of the package will follow.
Bidi™ Stick does not deliberately acquire data from any legally underage person in compliance with Children’s Privacy Policy clause stipulated in our Terms and Conditions. When our system detects underage individuals knowingly submitting false information to access www.bidivapor.com, their account, by policy, will be automatically terminated. Falsifying information constitutes a violation against the Federal and California state law and is deemed a punishable offense. Moreover, Bidi™ Vapor reserves the right to conduct a legal action, if deemed necessary.
Furthermore, Bidi™ Stick consistently conducts responsible and conscious marketing techniques that do not specifically target and/or engage young adolescents on any advertisements and labelling process of the product.
Bidi Stick conscientiously complies with all FDA labelling and packaging regulations that includes addictiveness warning statements of nicotine effectively located in a visible section on all aspects of labelling, packaging, and marketing advertisements.
Parental Guidance and Education
At Bidi™ Vapor, we pride ourselves in our consistent and strong efforts to prevent possession and access of electronic cigarettes to minors. To aid our efforts, we strongly encourage close parental guidance and effective education to the underaged population. We believe this is vital to prevent the use of e-cigarettes of minors.
As a parent, it is imperative to determine the signs of whether your child may be using electronic cigarettes or not. Moreover, to effectively educate your children, it’s crucial you are educated as well in regards to the different varieties of electronic cigarettes and the e-liquids contained within it. Ensure you make time to talk to your child on the adverse effects and consequences that come with the usage of nicotine. This is an opportunity for you to impart awareness to your children, first hand, on the potential dangers of nicotine use.
For those kids who might still be tempted to shop nicotine products, we would encourage you to store your ATM cards, credit cards, and identification cards safely to lessen possible access for your kids.
