| runqvist said: Obviously you are capable of reading. I guess you are just being obtuse, but why not. The company located in germany has to abide with the german law, of course. The law in question is about protecting the german youth, who are residing in ... Germany. It limits the transactions for those people who happen to reside where the said law applies. Is it really so hard for you to understand? |
I think what you are not understanding is that this law is not being applied to the buyers but the seller directly. The law is not looking at who the end user is at all, only who the seller is.
Thera are 2 entites in a direct transaction. A buyer and a seller. While the intent of this law is to protect the buyer, it is applied to the seller. So a kid in the UK is still buying from a German store that is subject to German law.
Say a German store sold hard alcohol online. German legal age is 18. A 16 year old in Denmark (legal age there) would still not be allowed to purchase it because the German laws the store must abide by.
