@BlueVM is not gonna be happy when he sees this.

Edit:

nvm. looks like the IP of his site does not match the Feathur server and thats why the Feathur check went all into alarm mode. mtwiscool makes it pretty confusing...

So you came here to make a big fuss, try and stick the boot in and it's back fired on you.

Excellent job. Your credibility, if you had any, just walked out the door with your ego.

Personally, no.  Makes no sense to any potential customer to pay ~40% more for a product just because you can't figure out a way to use one of the most widely used payment gateways available.

Edit : Changed from 100% to ~40%.  To be fair it's not 100% more, but still significantly more.

I'm under 18 years old so i am not allowed a paypal account.

Bitcoins are the chepest way to pay.

@mtwiscool : I was simply responding to your direct question of whether I like Amazon payments, and I supplied my reasoning.  I already read your sob story reasons for not having Paypal earlier in the thread.  You didn't need to repeat them to combat an answer, to a question you asked, that you didn't like.

How were you able to purchase a dedicated server?  You have to be 18 years of age to enter into a contract in many countries including Canada where your server is located.

You can make (some) contracts in the United Kingdom at the age of 16. We've got weird ages for stuff here. Drink and smoke at 18, drive at 17, age of consent and somewhat considered a legal adult at 16. Smoking age was 16 like 10 years ago aswell.

http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/scotland/consumer_s/consumer_protection_for_the_consumer_e/consumer_contracts_s/who_can_make_a_contract_s.htm

Between 16 and 21

When you reach 16 you can make legally binding contracts. However law from the Age of Legal Capacity (Scotland) 1991 exists to protect young people from taking on too much. The way in which the law protects a young person is that if you have made a contract that involves a lot of personal responsibility and/or money and you change your mind about it you can apply to court to ask it to set your transaction aside. This means that the person or organisation you made the contract with can’t enforce it. It is possible to apply to court for this reason until you are 21.

You can’t ask a court to set aside transactions if:

  • you made the agreement as part of your trade or business
  • you told a lie about your age
  • you are over 18 and you knew when you made the agreement that it was the type of agreement that could later be set aside by a court.
Although with the next section I'm not sure how his disability effects this.

In the UK you can smoke at 16, however you must be 18 to buy them in a shop (70-80% of 16 year olds will get sold anyway)

And you can have a pint of beer / wine with a meal at 16 (with an >18) in a restaurant.

Legally, in a house or any private property you can drink when your 5 years of age (SOURCE)

That, and you have to keep in mind there's more than one country in play.  He's using OVH Canada, right?  So the criteria for both countries has to be met for it to be legit.  Doesn't matter if he can form contracts in the UK if OVH in Canada cannot do so for minors.

How were you able to purchase a dedicated server?  You have to be 18 years of age to enter into a contract in many countries including Canada where your server is located.
The real answer to this question, as I'm sure everyone is aware, is that there is no real 'contract' most of the time.  A service is provided, money changes hands - but at the end of the day, buyer beware, for the seller has no binding obligation outside of the potential of a chargeback.

Should I make jokes now :)

I am rather, have always been, surprised about the UK's stance on drinking at home.  I fully support the idea.  Alcohol is both food and nutrition.. Abuse is always yucky though... Be professional and never quit!

I am unclear on legalese in the UK with age to run a company....As a minor with guardianship issues on status, he may be running afoul of said rules where he lives.

If anything, I want to see us get him the right info so he stands a chance.  Usually I am the asskicker, but @mtwiscool is turning his leaf toward adulthood and running things honestly.... Let's encourage that if we can...

and yes, I saw the IRC slappings and yes, I agree with Ald about the RAIDing of your DC and rights/notice out the window... Really is ugly for anyone who blindly rents services..... Can and does happen to those coloing gear also.... Be sure to have good relationship with DC and drive sleds that ideally hot loadable for appeasing the lettered agencies... or you are  down and offline.

In the UK you can be the director of a company at 16, however, to have a business bank account you are required to be 18, so obviously you're going to hit some stones when doing your tax returns there.
