If you are under 13 years old, once you click on the BookHut icon in your account, you will have a popup asking you to get a custodian before you can set up your BookHut. Once you type in the email address or the name of the BookHut you want to use as a custodian and click send, the account holder will get an email notification of our request.
If the account holder accepts your request, you will receive a congratulatory mail asking you to progress your BookHut setup. However, the knowledge networker has the right to accept or decline your request. We advise you to contact a potential custodian before sending your request for custodianship request.
Once you turn 18 years old, your custodian will get a mail notification requesting your independence. If the custodian accepts the request, you will receive a congratulatory mail of independence having attained adulthood. Please, note custodians have the right to accept or decline the request for independence. If your custodian declines the request for independence, kindly reach out to find out why the request was declined. However, if the custodian decides to grant you independence, the custodian will go to its BookHut profile to grant you the independence.
