Protecting the safety of children when they use the Internet is very important to us.

However, if applicable law requires that you must be older than such ages in order for Metal Roofing Consultants to lawfully provide the Website to you (including the collection, storage, and use of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy), then the Minimum Age would be such older age. The Website is not designed nor intended for use by children or anyone else under the age of 13.
