Your use of the Bricsys website, including the Bricsys e-store, is also subject to the Terms of Use of the Bricsys website. In case of conflict or inconsistency between any of these documents, the following descending order of priority shall apply: the Specific Agreement, the Agreement, the Terms of Use. Any communications prior to the Agreement shall be superseded by the Agreement and any amendments shall require the written consent of Bricsys.
1. AGREEMENT FORMATION AND PAYMENT

If Bricsys becomes aware that a user under the age of 18 is accessing or purchasing such products or services, Bricsys will notify the user that he/she is not eligible to do so.
