Prodep Diligence<\/strong> is the first complete solution aimed at helping retailers to avoid fines stemming from the sale of tobacco, alcohol, lottery and other 18+ products to minors by reducing the risk of conviction in case of an offense and improving the age verification management process.<\/p>\n

According to Section 14 of the Quebec Tobacco Act<\/a>, “no penalty may be imposed on a defendant who shows that a reasonable effort was made to verify the age of the person.”<\/em><\/p>\n

To this end, Prodep Diligence<\/strong> offers a complete range of tools to install a near than perfect age verification in-store procedure and in an equally important way, to accumulate evidence of such high-quality management in case of a trial following an offense.<\/p>\n

Contrary to the current industry practices of using some or a few different procedures, Prodep Diligence<\/strong> combines all aspects of due diligence into a simplified, comprehensive and integrated approach.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
By using a range of elaborate and tailor-made tools, Prodep Diligence<\/strong> is the first solution to offer retailers, large and small, the opportunity to meet the highest standards in age verification process and procedures for the least amount of time and effort (click to enlarge).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The operator is thus in greater control, less monopolized and better protected.<\/p>\n

A completely redesigned approach<\/h5>\n

To prevent the sale to minors, the innovative concept of Prodep Diligence<\/strong> operates at 7 different levels and proposes 12 safeguards that are easy to implement thanks to the tools offered. In the event of an offense, the retailer will benefit from an abundance of evidence that demonstrate a superior and advanced due diligence process which should help secure an acquittal verdict.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The Prodep Diligence<\/strong> toolkit solution covers all aspects of age verification, from employee training to the store overall compliance (click to enlarge).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
A turnkey solution in a kit<\/h5>\n

Prodep Diligence<\/strong> toolkit comes in a sturdy 3-ring zippered or velcro binder organizer (depending on the format) that includes both a section with rings and a section with folders.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The 3-ring section is used to keep all documents, evidence and forms to be presented to the court in the event of a prosecution. No more risk, then, of losing any document. As for the folders, they are used to keep documents such as manuals, posters and certificates that we would rather not see perforated.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The employee age verification training is based on the Prodep<\/strong> 60-page color official training manual, offered in three copies and entitled: ” \u00c9carte-toi pas, carte!” (meaning: “Stay focused and ask for ID” <\/em>and also available in English).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The employee training manual includes five learning modules that cover not only carding techniques but also an overview of the legal and regulatory environment in which employees work.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Version for 10 or 20 store clerks<\/h5>\n

The kit comes in 2 formats: regular (for up to 10 store clerks) and large (for up to 20).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The kit’s large format covers the management of up to 20 employees at the checkout. It includes everything in duplicate compared to the regular kit except the USB key since one is enough, certain forms and it contains 5 training manuals instead of 3. The large binder is 4 inches thick instead of 2 inches for the regular one. It is blue and not black and closes with a zipper instead of a velcro. It includes a handle and a shoulder strap to carry it (weight: 20 lb).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The regular kit includes about 600 pages including:<\/p>\n
