Where mandatory law provides greater protection than a published store policy, the mandatory legal requirement will prevail.

7. Consumer Status

A consumer is generally a natural person who enters into a transaction for purposes predominantly outside their trade, business, craft, or profession.

Mandatory consumer protections apply to qualifying consumer transactions.

A person purchasing products primarily for commercial, professional, resale, or business purposes may be subject to different legal rules.

Nothing in this Legal Notice removes any right that legally applies to a particular customer or transaction.

  • Right concerning unauthorized payments;

Customers should review this information carefully before completing a purchase.

  • Typographical errors;

  • Technical errors;

  • Pricing errors;

  • Measurement errors;

  • Incorrect availability information;

  • Outdated content; or

  • Other inaccuracies or omissions.

We may correct errors and update information where reasonably necessary.

Where an error materially affects an order, we may contact the customer, provide corrected information, request confirmation, offer an appropriate alternative, or cancel and refund the affected transaction where legally permitted.

11. Product Images and Descriptions

Product images are provided for reference.

Actual product colour or appearance may vary because of:

  • Lighting conditions;

  • Photography;

  • Image processing;

  • Browser settings;

  • Screen calibration;

  • Device-display differences; and

  • Reasonable manufacturing variations.

Measurements may be subject to reasonable manufacturing or measuring tolerances.

Product packaging, labels, accessories, or minor design details may change where the change does not materially affect the product’s intended function, safety, quality, or contractual conformity.

Nothing in this section restricts rights concerning materially inaccurate descriptions, defective products, unsafe products, incorrect products, or non-conforming goods.

12. Product Suitability

Customers are responsible for reviewing all available product information before purchasing.

Where relevant, customers should consider:

  • Materials;

  • Weight limits;

  • Model numbers;

  • Compatibility requirements;

  • Intended use;

  • Assembly requirements;

  • Installation requirements;

  • Care instructions; and

  • Safety warnings.

General product information cannot account for every individual situation.

Where specialized medical, technical, legal, safety, or professional advice is required, customers should consult an appropriately qualified professional.

13. Product Safety

Products must be used only for their stated or reasonably intended purposes.

Customers should:

  • Inspect products before use;

  • Complete assembly or installation correctly;

  • Provide appropriate supervision where recommended;

  • Discontinue use if a product appears damaged or unsafe.

Customers should contact info@heathceramics.shop promptly if they believe that a product presents a safety concern.

Mandatory rights concerning defective or unsafe products remain unaffected.

14. Product Recalls and Safety Notices

Where a material product-safety concern or recall becomes known, we may take reasonable steps to:

  • Suspend sales;

  • Remove or correct product information;

  • Contact affected customers;

  • Publish warnings or instructions;

  • Arrange a return or collection;

The total amount payable will be displayed before the order is submitted.

Depending on the transaction and delivery destination, the total may include:

  • Product prices;

  • Value-added tax or other applicable taxes;

  • Shipping charges, where applicable;

  • Customs duties;

  • Import taxes;

  • Brokerage fees; or

  • Other charges disclosed before purchase.

Prices may change before an order is submitted.

A price change will not normally affect an order that has already been accepted.

17. Free Standard Shipping

heathceramics.shop provides free standard shipping under the conditions described in its Shipping Policy.

Unless otherwise expressly stated:

  • No minimum purchase amount is required; and

  • No standard shipping fee is charged for destinations covered by the available free standard shipping service.

The estimated total delivery time is 15–20 business days, including normal order processing and shipping transit time.

Customs duties, import taxes, change-of-mind return costs, address-correction fees, or reshipping costs may be treated separately where applicable.

18. Promotions and Price Reductions

Promotions, discount codes, bundle offers, gifts with purchase, and other incentives may be subject to additional conditions displayed with the offer.

Depending on the promotion:

  • Eligibility restrictions may apply;

  • Product or quantity limits may apply;

  • Geographic restrictions may apply;

  • Offers may not be combined;

  • Codes may not be exchanged for cash;

  • Discounts may not apply retroactively; and

  • Promotional benefits may be recalculated where products are returned.

We will not knowingly present a price reduction or promotional benefit in a false or misleading manner.

We may refuse fraudulent, duplicated, automated, manipulated, transferred, or unauthorized use of a promotion.

19. Orders and Contract Formation

Submitting an order constitutes an offer to purchase the selected products.

An automated order confirmation acknowledges receipt of the order but does not necessarily constitute final acceptance where additional verification remains reasonably necessary.

An order may be accepted when we:

  • Expressly confirm acceptance;

  • Confirm that fulfilment has begun;

  • Dispatch the products;

  • Send a shipping confirmation; or

  • Otherwise clearly communicate acceptance.

We may review an order before acceptance for:

  • Payment authorization;

  • Address verification;

  • Product availability;

  • Fraud prevention;

  • Security;

  • Purchase restrictions; and

  • Legal compliance.

20. Payments

Payments are processed through the payment methods available during checkout.

Payment services may be provided by:

  • Shopify;

  • Banks;

  • Card networks;

  • Digital-wallet providers;

  • Payment processors; or

  • Other authorized financial-service providers.

By submitting payment information, the customer confirms that:

  • They are authorized to use the selected payment method;

  • The information provided is accurate;

  • The applicable payment may be processed; and

  • Information may be used for transaction verification and fraud prevention.

heathceramics.shop does not normally receive or store complete payment-card numbers or card security codes.

21. Fraud Prevention

We may use automated and manual procedures to detect and prevent:

  • Payment fraud;

  • Identity theft;

  • Unauthorized transactions;

  • Customer-account misuse;

  • Promotional abuse;

  • Return fraud;

  • Chargeback abuse; and

  • Other unlawful or suspicious activity.

We may request reasonable verification information before accepting or fulfilling an order.

Verification information will be processed according to the Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection law.

22. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping and delivery are governed by the Shipping Policy published on heathceramics.shop.

Unless otherwise expressly stated:

  • All eligible orders receive free standard shipping; and

  • The estimated total delivery time is 15–20 business days.

Delivery estimates are not guaranteed arrival dates unless expressly confirmed as guaranteed.

Mandatory rights concerning delivery, loss, damage, delay, and non-delivery remain unaffected.

23. Risk of Loss

For consumer transactions, risk of loss or damage generally transfers when the consumer, or a person designated by the consumer other than the carrier, obtains physical possession of the products.

Where the customer independently appoints a carrier that was not offered by heathceramics.shop, risk may transfer according to applicable law when the product is handed to that carrier.

Nothing in this Legal Notice transfers risk to a consumer earlier than legally permitted.

24. Statutory Right of Withdrawal

A qualifying consumer purchasing online generally has the right to withdraw from an eligible purchase contract within 14 calendar days without providing a reason.

The applicable withdrawal period, procedure, return deadline, direct return costs, lawful exclusions, and refund conditions are explained in the Return and Refund Policy published on heathceramics.shop.

Withdrawal notices may be sent to:

Email: info@heathceramics.shop

Refusing delivery or failing to collect a package does not necessarily replace the requirement to communicate a clear withdrawal decision.

25. Statutory Rights for Defective Products

Products sold to consumers are subject to German statutory requirements concerning defects and contractual conformity.

For new goods, statutory defect claims generally remain available for two years after delivery, subject to applicable law and the circumstances of the transaction.

Where a product is defective or non-conforming, available remedies may include:

  • Repair;

  • Replacement;

  • A proportionate price reduction;

  • Termination of the affected purchase contract;

  • A refund; or

  • Another remedy required by law.

Statutory rights are separate from any optional commercial or manufacturer warranty.

26. Customer Reviews and Submitted Content

Customers may be permitted to submit reviews, ratings, comments, photographs, videos, feedback, or other content.

By submitting content, the customer confirms that:

  • They own the content or are authorized to submit it;

  • Reviews reflect a genuine experience where presented as such;

  • The content does not infringe another person’s rights;

  • The content is not unlawful, defamatory, fraudulent, threatening, discriminatory, obscene, or malicious;

  • The content does not contain malware or deceptive links;

  • The content does not disclose unnecessary sensitive personal data; and

Customers retain ownership of their submitted content.

We may moderate, refuse, or remove content that violates applicable law or our published policies.

27. Authenticity of Reviews

We will not knowingly present fabricated reviews as genuine customer reviews.

Where a review is described as verified, reasonable measures may be used to determine whether it relates to a genuine purchase or customer interaction.

Users must not:

  • Submit false reviews;

  • Misrepresent their experience;

  • Impersonate another customer;

  • Coordinate review manipulation;

  • Submit repeated deceptive content; or

  • Conceal compensation connected with a review where disclosure is required.

Independent third parties operate according to their own:

  • Terms and conditions;

  • Privacy policies;

  • Security practices;

  • Prices;

  • Product terms; and

  • Business procedures.

heathceramics.shop does not control independent third-party services and is not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices, security, or conduct, except where responsibility cannot legally be excluded.

Complaints may be submitted to:

Email: info@heathceramics.shop

Unless participation is required by applicable law, heathceramics.shop does not undertake to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

This statement does not restrict a consumer’s right to:

  • Contact a competent court;

  • Contact a consumer-protection authority;

  • Contact a data-protection supervisory authority;

  • Contact a product-safety authority;

  • Use a legally available payment-dispute process; or

  • Exercise another mandatory legal remedy.

37. European Online Dispute Resolution Platform

41. Governing Law

This Legal Notice and use of heathceramics.shop are governed by applicable German law.

For consumers residing in another European Union or European Economic Area country, this choice of law does not remove mandatory protections available under the laws that would otherwise apply in the consumer’s country of habitual residence.

42. Jurisdiction

Disputes involving consumers may be brought before courts having jurisdiction under applicable consumer and procedural law.

Nothing in this Legal Notice requires a consumer to bring proceedings in a location that would unlawfully restrict access to a competent court.

Where mandatory law grants jurisdiction to the courts of the consumer’s residence or domicile, that jurisdiction remains unaffected.

43. Severability

If any provision of this Legal Notice is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or severed only to the extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

Mandatory statutory provisions will apply in place of any invalid provision.

  • Business procedures;

  • Service providers;
