1. Orders and Returns

ORDERS

Our website and our online shop are merely an invitation to the customer to submit offers for the conclusion of a purchase agreement for the presented products. All orders are subject to availability and our acceptance.

Advanced Microbiotics GmbH offers products that are ready to be shipped from our warehouse. Occasionally, due to production issues or quality controls, we may be unable to deliver some products at the time of your order. If this happens, we will contact you immediately via e-mail and refund the originally debited amount to your credit card within 30 days of confirmation of the non-deliverable product.

 PRICES

The prices listed on the website are indicated in the currency displayed. Unless otherwise indicated, the price includes VAT.

CONFIRMATION OF YOUR ORDER

As soon as you have selected your product via the "add to cart" button and submitted your order, this forms a binding offer for the purchase of the products in the shopping cart.

You will then receive an email with the order confirmation. This email is NOT an order acceptance but only a confirmation of the receipt of your order.

The order acceptance and the conclusion of the contract between you and Advanced Microbiotics GmbH shall be deemed to have taken place as soon as we send you an email with the order confirmation. The sales contract is concluded in Berlin and the language of the contract is German.

We reserve the right to refuse the order at our discretion. We are not liable to you or third parties due to our cancellation. In particular, we cannot accept the order for the following reasons: (1) In the event of non-authorization of payment; (2) in the case of a product which is not in stock or does not meet our quality control standards and must therefore be withdrawn; (3) You do not fulfil the criteria defined in these Terms and Conditions.

SHIPPING INFORMATION

Our goods ship via DHL. Items from our partners will ship via the shipping service provider of our partner’s choice. Delivery to post office boxes or Packstations is not possible. The general terms and conditions of the shipping service providers also apply and can be accessed on the respective homepage.

The delivery times for items sent by our partners differ and are specified in the respective product description under delivery time.

The estimated delivery times should be regarded as a guideline and start on the date of dispatch. We assume no liability for delivery delays.

The passing of risk begins with the time of the product arrival.

SHIPPING COSTS

Shipping costs for orders within Germany and Austria are taken over by Advanced Microbiotics GmbH and free shipping applies to all purchases regardless of a minimum order value. A shipping fee of 15 Euros applies for orders to all other countries within the EU.

PAYMENT METHODS
