However, I was curious if actual law existed that said a 17 year old couldn't promote a sponsor. For example, ARS is considered a porn sponsor but you can promote a prepaid credit card, a discreet browser, etc. Does it make it illegal or just a violation of their terms ?
Such businesses CANNOT enter a legally binding contract with a minor unless that minor has a parent involved as in signing for them. And even still, if a company is promoting adult-only materials, there is NO WAY a court would find ANY contract with a minor legally binding in ANY way, they would immediately slap the sponsor with charges. End of story. I've spoken at length with several of our lawyers on this very thing (as far as having customers underage etc last time we had to deal with someone and get id and whatnot), and that was essentially what he said. Kids can't LEGALLY promote any of those other programs either without parental consent, because the contract wouldn't be legally binding in a court of law. Sure, they could still do business, but the company would be FUCKED if anything went wrong.
