Child Protection and Safety

1. Child Protection and Safety

The minimum age to use Bermuda is 18 years old. Minors are not permitted to use the platform.

Bermuda prioritizes the protection of minors and strictly prohibits any inappropriate behavior involving them.

During the signup process, we clearly provide guidance regarding the minimum age requirement (18 and above) and strictly prohibit minors from creating accounts.

• If a user under the age of 18 is found violating this age restriction, their account will be immediately suspended.
• Suspended users will no longer be able to access Bermuda, and any attempts to bypass the suspension will also be subject to penalties.
• All inappropriate content, conversations, or behavior targeting minors are strictly monitored and may result in legal action.

Bermuda aims to foster safe and respectful interactions exclusively between adult users to maintain a trustworthy community where all users can engage with confidence.
