There doesn't have to be. Their premise is that they can not distribute to
people under 18 because there is an implied contract, and Canadian law says
you can't make a contract with minors. If so, they are _already_in_violation_
because they have accepted software from minors for distribution in their
system.

So, why is it that they can not distribute the software to minors but _can_
accept software from minors and redistribute it?
