REGULATIONS OF THE SHOTTAS ONLINE STORE
DISCLAIMER
The Store sells cannabis (marijuana) seeds solely for collection, research, or souvenir purposes. These seeds must not be used for any purposes that violate legal regulations, in particular for the cultivation of cannabis that may lead to the production of narcotic substances.
The Store is intended for persons over 18 years of age.
The Client acknowledges that cannabis seeds do not contain psychoactive substances (such as THC) in amounts that would classify them as narcotic drugs; however, germination and further cultivation of these seeds may lead to the emergence of a plant containing an illegal concentration of psychoactive substances – which is unlawful in many jurisdictions.
The Store shall not be held liable for any breach of the law that may occur as a result of using the purchased seeds for purposes other than collection, research, or as souvenirs (including, in particular, for cultivation). All information regarding cannabis seeds provided on the Store’s website (including descriptions, specifications, parameters) is for illustrative and educational purposes only and does not constitute encouragement or instruction to cultivate or undertake any other action illegal under applicable legal regulations. The Store does not provide any advice, instructions, or recommendations that could be considered encouragement or guidance for illegal cannabis cultivation. Any decisions on how to use the purchased seeds are made solely by the Client, who is fully responsible for any legal consequences of such actions.
By placing an Order, the Client declares that they have become acquainted with the legal regulations in their country (and in the country of delivery, if different from their place of residence) governing the purchase and possession of cannabis seeds and undertakes to abide by them. The Client guarantees that they will not use the purchased seeds for any activities that violate the applicable laws of the relevant country, especially for cultivation if such cultivation is prohibited. The Client bears exclusive responsibility for any legal consequences related to the unlawful use of the purchased seeds.
The Seller ships products only to countries where the sale and possession of cannabis seeds are legal. Nonetheless, the Seller cannot monitor changes in the law of various countries; therefore, before placing an Order, the Client should check the legality of such a transaction in their own country or jurisdiction. The Store reserves the right to refuse to fulfill an Order if the information available indicates that the purchased seeds may be used illegally or that shipping to a particular country is contrary to the law.
All content posted in the Store—such as descriptions, photographs, blog entries, or client comments—is for informational purposes only and does not constitute encouragement or instructions to commit acts prohibited by law.
Due to the nature of the offered Product and the variety of legal systems, the Seller shall not be liable for any damages, losses, or criminal proceedings that may result from the unlawful use of seeds purchased in the Store.

Complaints
- Only new Products are covered by the Sale Agreement.

- For Products listed on the Store’s websites as imperfect, with a detailed description of those Products along with a description of their defects, the Seller is released from liability under warranty if the Buyer was aware of the defect at the time of concluding the agreement.
- If the purchased Product from the Seller has a defect, the Client is entitled to file a complaint.
- If the sold Product is defective, the Client may submit a statement for a price reduction or withdrawal from the Sale Agreement, unless the Seller promptly and without undue inconvenience to the Buyer replaces the defective item with one free of defects or remedies the defect. This limitation does not apply if the Product has already been replaced or repaired by the Seller, or if the Seller has failed to fulfill the obligation to replace the item or remove the defect. A Consumer may, instead of the remedy proposed by the Seller, request replacement of the Product with a non-defective one, or instead of a replacement request the removal of the defect, unless bringing the Product into conformity with the Sale Agreement in the manner chosen by the Consumer is impossible or would involve excessive costs compared to the method proposed by the Seller. When assessing whether costs are excessive, the value of a non-defective item, the nature and importance of the discovered defect, as well as the inconvenience to which the Consumer would be exposed by an alternative solution, shall be taken into account. The reduced price should remain in the same proportion to the price under the Sale Agreement as the value of the defective item is to the value of an item free from defects.
- The Client may not withdraw from the Sale Agreement if the defect is immaterial.
- If the sold Product is defective, the Client may demand replacement of the Product with a defect-free one, or removal of the defect. The Seller may refuse to comply with the Client’s demand if bringing the defective Product into conformity with the Sale Agreement in the manner chosen by the Client is impossible or, compared to the other possible method of bringing it into conformity with the Sale Agreement, would involve excessive costs. If the Client is an entrepreneur, the Seller may also refuse to replace or remove the defect when the costs of satisfying this obligation would exceed the price of the Product sold.
- A complaint should be submitted in writing or electronically to the addresses provided in these Regulations or using the electronic complaint form provided by the Seller on one of the Store’s subpages, as well as by email to info@shottasseeds.com.
- The complaint should include: the first and last name or company name and the residence or registered office address of the claimant, a description of the subject of the complaint, the circumstances justifying the complaint, the date the Sale Agreement was concluded, the amount of compensation or other claims if the claimant seeks a payment thereof, the bank account number or address for compensation or other amount, and the chosen form of the response to the complaint. If the complaint does not meet the conditions set out above, the Seller will promptly inform the claimant of the need to correct or supplement the complaint to the extent necessary for its correct consideration, under penalty of leaving the complaint unprocessed.
- The Seller will address the complaint without undue delay, no later than within 14 days, and if it fails to do so within this period, it shall be deemed that the Client’s request is justified. The response to the complaint shall include: the decision to accept or reject the complaint, if compensation is awarded – the amount and payment deadline, if another payment is to be made – the amount and reimbursement deadline. If the complaint is rejected in whole or in part, the reply must also include factual and legal grounds, and it must be provided to the Client either in writing by registered mail or electronically to the Client’s email address – at the Seller’s choice.
- A Buyer exercising warranty rights is obliged, at the Seller’s expense, to deliver the defective item to the place indicated in the Sale Agreement. Goods returned as part of the complaint procedure should be sent to the address provided during the complaint process.

If the Consumer has personally designated the carrier for the Product, and the Seller was not involved in this choice, the risk passes to the Consumer upon the Product being handed over to that carrier.
- The Seller advises the Consumer to check the delivered shipment in the presence of the Product’s carrier to verify whether it is intact and complete. In the event of damage or defects, the Seller recommends drawing up a damage report. Failure to prepare such a report does not deprive the Consumer of the right to pursue claims under warranty.
- A Client who is not a Consumer is required to check the shipment contents at the time of receipt. In case of damage, they must report it to the carrier and immediately, but no later than within three days, contact the Seller. Complaints regarding mechanical damage to the Product during transport will be considered only if a damage report has been drawn up and signed by the Client who is not a Consumer and by the shipment carrier.
- The Seller’s liability under the warranty for physical and legal defects of the Product to a Client who is not a Consumer is limited to the value of the remuneration paid for the Product.
