Who you are contracting with
The seller is Nico Jaroszewski, Schlosstalstrasse 202, 8408 Winterthur, Switzerland, trading as Shilajatu, reachable at info@shilajatu.com. The legal form and register entry are set out in the imprint.
These terms apply to every order placed through shilajatu.com by a consumer, meaning a person buying for purposes outside their trade or profession. Nothing in them removes a right that the law of your country of residence gives you and does not allow to be removed.
A product page is an invitation to order, not an offer. Your order is the offer. We acknowledge it by email straight away, and that acknowledgement is a receipt rather than an acceptance. The contract comes into being when we send you a separate confirmation that your order has been dispatched.
We may decline an order, and if we do we say why and refund anything already taken. The reasons include the product being out of stock, the delivery address sitting outside the countries we ship to, or an obvious pricing error. We respect all mandatory consumer rights when correcting an error.
Prices, currency and tax
Prices are displayed in the selected currency. The checkout confirms the settlement currency, goods price and shipping before you pay. Your bank or wallet provider may apply its own conversion or international-payment charge.
Shilajatu is not registered for Swiss VAT. Orders may be dispatched directly by our UK supplier or from Switzerland. Import VAT, customs charges or carrier clearance fees can therefore depend on the dispatch route and destination. The shipping page explains the current dispatch model. Your checkout and invoice show the amounts collected by Shilajatu.
Payment
Payment is taken in full when you place the order using the methods shown by Shopify Checkout. We do not receive or store your full card number. If the payment fails, no contract is formed and the order is not processed.
Delivery
Delivery has two parts: packing, then carriage. Both are set out with current estimates on the shipping page. Estimates are estimates. What is not an estimate is the statutory backstop: unless we have agreed another date with you, we deliver without undue delay and at the latest 30 days after the contract is formed. If we miss that, you may give us a short further period in writing, and if we miss that too you may cancel and be refunded in full.
Title and risk
Risk passes to you when you, or someone you have named other than the carrier, takes physical possession of the goods. A parcel lost or damaged in transit is therefore our problem, not yours. Ownership passes when payment has cleared in full.
Your right to change your mind
If you are in the EU you have 14 days from the day you receive the goods to withdraw from the contract without giving any reason. The full procedure, the model withdrawal form and how refunds are handled are on the returns page, which forms part of these terms.
One limit on that right matters for what we sell. The Directive exempts sealed goods that are not suitable for return on health protection or hygiene grounds once the seal has been broken, and a food supplement taken out of a sealed jar is the case that exemption was written for. Sealed and unopened, you may withdraw. Opened, you may not, unless the goods are faulty, and the product page says so before you order rather than after.
If something is wrong with the goods
Separately from the right above, and for two years from delivery, the goods have to conform to the contract: match the description, the stated weight and the batch documentation, be fit for the purpose a food supplement of this kind is normally used for, and be of the quality you can reasonably expect. If they do not, you are entitled to have them repaired or replaced, and where that is not possible or not done within a reasonable time, to a price reduction or to cancel the contract and be refunded.
This right costs you nothing to use. We pay the postage in both directions on a conformity claim. It sits alongside the withdrawal right rather than replacing it. Resin that has stiffened in a cold parcel and softens again in the hand is not a defect, and neither is a change in colour or scent between batches of a natural material. A missing or incorrect certificate of analysis is.
Our liability
We are liable for foreseeable loss caused by our breaking this contract or failing to use reasonable care. We do not limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not permit us to limit.
Beyond that, our liability for any single order is limited to the amount you paid for it. What we sell is a food supplement. It is not a medicine, it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and nothing on this site should be read as though it were medical advice. It does not replace a varied diet, and it does not replace anything you have been prescribed.
Some of it is not for everybody, and the FAQ says so at length rather than in a footnote: shilajit is iron-rich and is not for anyone with an iron overload disorder, the Sea Moss and Bladderwrack blend is high in iodine and is a thyroid question, and there is not enough data to recommend concentrated adaptogens in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Read the label, keep to the stated dose, and if you take prescribed medication or have a diagnosed condition, speak to your doctor before you start.
Governing law
Swiss law governs this contract, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer resident in the EU or the UK, that choice does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer rules of the country you live in, and you may bring proceedings in your own country's courts.
Complaints and disputes
Write to info@shilajatu.com or use the contact page. One person reads both, and a complaint is answered rather than routed.
The European Commission's online dispute resolution platform was discontinued in July 2025, so there is no ODR link to give you and any site still showing one is pointing at nothing. We are not currently signed up to an alternative dispute resolution body and are not obliged to be. That does not affect your right to go to court, or to ask the consumer advice body in your own country for help.
