We ask that all members of orkut be at least 18 years old. If we find a profile on orkut of a user that is under 18, it will be deleted permanently.

If you're a parent and you're worried that your children are using orkut, please talk to your kids. The content posted on orkut may not be suitable for everyone. It's important that everyone understands that you should be careful when posting any personal information about yourself anywhere on the internet, including orkut.

Finally, you may want to sit down with your children and watch them delete their orkut account. If you need to report a profile of a user that's under 18, please use the "contact us" link in the orkut Help Center to report this profile.
