Hello,

Proz.com User Agreement, which we all need to accept in order to register, has the answer to your question under the Eligibility clause:

Our service is available only to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, our services are not available to minors. If you do not qualify, please do not use ProZ.com.


Hope this helps.

Regards,
Özden

It seems this clause is not taken very seriously, Özden:

You are certainly right, Marc Jun 26, 2006

I don't know, though, what the age of majority is in the USA (or rather, in the state of New York) - but it shouldn't be under 18, oder?

In any case, you know you can always submit a Support Ticket, Marc.

Moderator closes topic Jun 26, 2006

Dear all,

Thank you for participating in ProZ.com and in this forum. As you may have learned from other topics in this forum, this forum is dedicated only to "Translators for Kids", a charity for children born on ProZ.com. Since the original question seems to be taken care of, I am closing this topic now.

Thank you for your understanding.
