However, if we determine that any user is under the age of 13, we will immediately suspend that user's account and it will be that user's responsibility to provide proof of age to continue use of the service. If you believe that we have inadvertently collected information of a child under the age of 13, please contact us immediately at listings@listingsproject.com so that we can remove the information.
