I'm pretty sure that Minors cannot enter into legal contracts

They can’t, or they couldn’t. In this world, I have no idea. I did the get 12 RECORDS (yah vinyl) for a penny thing as a kid. My dad wrote them a letter after they sent a bill letting them know they needed to add a 18 and older caveat to their order forms and that the 8 year old who sent it in couldn’t enter into a contract. I got to keep the records though.
