The Challenge 25 System
with vendors of alcohol and other age restricted goods to make a legal sale. |
|
From October 2010 it becomes law that vendors must ask, view and record ID challenges from all people who attempt to buy alcohol and appear to be 18 years old. |
Those members of the public who wish to assist the vendor with making a legal sale can opt to have their ID scanned and verified through Agesafe. |
The vendor never has access to any of the detail contained on the customers ID and is only able to view a cropped image of the customers face, their age and the required hologram. |
Vendors who sell alcohol to a child three times in a two month period face the possibility of six months imprisonment, suspension or termination of their license and a £20,000 fine. |
Agesafe is a tool for responsible retailers to assist in their desire to only make legal sales, it is also an effective tool to discourage children who attempt to make illegal purchases. |
