Disclaimer
Information, product use and responsibility
La Herba shares information about botanicals, traditional practices, Indigenous cultures and products from the Amazon, Andes and other regions.
Some of this information describes traditional, historical or ethnobotanical uses. It is provided for educational and cultural context and should be understood within that context.
The classification and intended use stated on the individual product page, packaging and label applies to that specific product.
Some La Herba products are offered as ethnobotanical specimens, botanical raw materials, cultural or collector's items and are not intended for human consumption or medical use.
Other products may have a different lawful classification and intended use where this is expressly stated on their product page and packaging. Please always follow the information provided for the specific product you purchase.
1. Educational and Ethnobotanical Information
Articles, product descriptions and other content on laherba.co.uk may refer to traditional practices, historical uses, Indigenous knowledge, ethnobotany or cultural traditions.
References to traditional use do not mean that La Herba is recommending a product for medical, therapeutic or other unapproved purposes.
Cultural and historical information should also not be interpreted as establishing the legal classification or approved use of a product in the United Kingdom or another jurisdiction.
2. No Medical Advice
Information provided on this Website is for general informational, historical and educational purposes only.
It is not medical advice and is not intended to replace diagnosis, treatment or advice from a doctor, pharmacist or other appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Unless a product is expressly and lawfully presented as such, statements on this Website should not be interpreted as claiming that a product can diagnose, prevent, treat or cure a disease or medical condition.
If you have concerns about your health, symptoms, medication or treatment, seek advice from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Do not delay professional medical care or discontinue prescribed treatment because of information you have read on this Website.
3. Product Classification and Intended Use
La Herba offers products belonging to several different categories. A single blanket classification therefore does not apply to every product sold on the Website.
Specimens & cultural items
Where a product is identified as an ethnobotanical specimen, botanical raw material, cultural artefact or collector's item, it must be treated according to that stated purpose and any instructions or restrictions shown on the product.
Follow the product information
Products with another expressly stated classification or intended use should be used only in accordance with their individual description, packaging and applicable law.
Product descriptions, names or references to traditional practices do not override the expressly stated legal classification and intended use of the product.
4. Customer Responsibility and Local Law
Customers are responsible for reading the information supplied with a product and using or handling it only in accordance with its stated purpose.
For products subject to age restrictions, you must meet the applicable age requirement.
If you order from outside the country from which the goods are dispatched, you are also responsible for checking whether the product may lawfully be imported, possessed or received in your destination country.
Laws and import requirements may differ between jurisdictions and may change over time.
5. Accuracy of Information
We aim to provide clear and accurate information and to update the Website when appropriate.
However, botanical, historical and cultural subjects may include differing interpretations, regional traditions and evolving research. Information may therefore be updated as better sources or additional context become available.
Product photographs may also show natural variations in colour, texture, shape or appearance, particularly where products are handmade or derived from natural materials.
6. Liability and Consumer Rights
La Herba is not responsible for losses arising solely from a customer's unlawful use, misuse or use of a product contrary to its clearly stated intended purpose, where such loss was not caused by a breach on our part.
Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes or limits responsibility where it cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Nothing in this Disclaimer affects your statutory rights as a consumer, including rights relating to goods that are faulty, unsafe, misdescribed or otherwise do not meet the requirements of applicable consumer law.
7. Third-Party Websites and Sources
This Website may link to external websites, research, organisations or other third-party sources for additional context or information.
A link does not necessarily mean that La Herba endorses every statement, product or service available on that third-party website.
Third-party websites operate independently and may change without our knowledge. You should review their information, terms and privacy practices separately.
8. Relationship with Our Terms and Conditions
This Disclaimer should be read together with our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and any product-specific information displayed on the Website.
Where specific safety instructions, legal restrictions or product information are provided for an individual product, those product-specific instructions should be followed.
