Anyone under 18 cannot be held contractually liable because you are considered to be under the age of consent for contracts..therefore any contract you enter into with any company can't be enforced..Meaning if you didn't want to pay at some point they could do nothing about it, which is why they won't do it until you are 18..if you have an Aunt or something like that they could either get one and let you use it or something like that but other than that you are SOL.
