from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser, BaseUserManager, PermissionsMixin


class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
    def create_user(self, email, dob, accepted_tos=None, password=None):
        if not accepted_tos:
            raise ValueError("You must accept the Terms of Service.")

        user = self.model(
            email=self.normalize_email(email),
            dob=dob,
            accepted_tos=True,
            password
        )
