The shipping cost is added to the cost of the products. Information about shipping cost is provided in the Online Store, in your shopping cart, before proceeding to checkout.

We reserve the right to change these terms of sale at our sole discretion without any prior notice. Orders are subject to the terms of sale valid at the time of order, which can be read on the Online Store.
Placing the order.
To order the products, you must add the products to the shopping cart. You can add several products to the shopping cart and continue shopping at the same time. After you have finished shopping, go to the shopping cart by pressing the red “View Cart” button. In the shopping cart, you will see the total cost, including the price of the product(s) and the shipping cost.
To complete the order, you must fill in the required data fields and select a delivery method. The shipping cost will be displayed during the checkout process before the order is submitted. By placing your order, you acknowledge and accept this shipping fee.
Payment in the Online Store takes place via PayPal. Further information on payments by using PayPal is available here. The contract enters into force when we receive payment from you. If the ordered products cannot be delivered due to a cause beyond our control, you will be informed of this as soon as possible and the money paid (including the costs of delivering the products) will be returned without delay, but no later than within 14 days of sending the notice.
You need to ensure that the personal data and other order information you provide in the Online Store order form is correct and complete. You have the responsibility to check and go through the correctness of the information in your order in all respects before ordering and paying.
Delivery.
Products are sent to the following EU countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.
We currently deliver exclusively to mainland destinations and cannot extend services to islands. Our products are subject to VAT, and a 0% rate is not available at this time.
The shipping cost applies to a single delivery and is calculated based on the product’s volumetric weight and the delivery location. The exact shipping cost is determined after you enter the unloading address during the checkout process and is displayed in the shopping cart before payment.
By entering your postal code in the shopping cart, you can see the final shipping cost. Both the transport service and the goods must be paid for together at checkout. Shipments are delivered to the agreed unloading location, and the customer must ensure that unloading is possible at the destination address.
Shipments of in-stock products are dispatched from our warehouse within 2-3 business days of your order being placed. Delivery time varies depending on the selected shipping option and delivery country.
Shipments generally arrive at the destination specified by the buyer within 7-10 business days of your order being placed. In exceptional cases, we have the right to deliver the goods within 45 calendar days.
If the “delivery time” falls on a weekend or public holiday, the order will be delivered on the following working days.
If delays outside of our control occur, we will make every effort to keep you informed. For the avoidance of doubt, time is not of the essence for the delivery of the products, but you will remain entitled to all statutory rights provided to you by the applicable laws. However, we will not be liable for any possible damages caused by a delay if the delay is due to a cause beyond our control.
After receiving your shipment, you must check that all the ordered products are included and that they are free from defects. If you notice any errors in your order or a defect in a product, you must report it to the Online Store customer service immediately.
We have the right to withdraw from the sales transaction and demand the return of the products from you (if already delivered) if the price of the products in the Online Store is marked significantly below the market price of the products due to an error.
Return conditions.
Consumer customers have the right to return the products they have purchased within fourteen (14) days of receipt. This right of withdrawal does not apply if the buyer is a legal entity. In order to use the 14-day right of return, the ordered products must not be used in any other way than what is necessary to verify the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products. If the products have been used for purposes other than what is necessary to verify the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products, or if they show signs of use, we have the right to reduce the refundable fee according to the decrease in the value of the products. In order to return the products, you must inform us (Biolan Oy, Lauttakyläntie 570, FI-27510 Eura, FINLAND, 358 2 5491 600, biolanshop@biolan.com) of your decision to cancel the contract in an unambiguous way (for example, by letter by post or email) within 14 days of receiving the products at the latest. The cost of returning the products is borne by you, unless the reason for the return is that the product to be returned does not correspond to what was ordered (e.g. a wrong or defective product). Products to be returned must be packed carefully. You must return the products within 14 days after submitting the application or provide proof that you have handed over the products to the carrier of the products within the aforementioned period.
Upon receipt of the returned products, we will return to you immediately, but no later than 14 days after receiving the withdrawal, all fees received from you under the contract. We may refuse to issue refunds until we have received the product that is the subject of the contract or until you have provided evidence that you have returned the product, whichever occurs first.
Please note that all substrates ARE NOT EXCHANGEABLE and NOT REFUNDABLE after their package has been opened.
Responsibility for defects.
The potential warranty for products is determined in accordance with the warranty conditions defined by the manufacturer. You are obliged to familiarize yourself with the warranty conditions supplied with the product before using the product. The warranty conditions can be found in the instructions for use, a separate warranty form or at the manufacturer’s website. As a rule, the warranty only covers manufacturing and material defects in the product. The warranty period is specified in the product information. Warranty repair or replacement does not extend the product’s original warranty period.
Warranty repair is always carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s or importer’s warranty conditions. We direct you to contact the manufacturer or their service company directly, as this speeds up the service and is therefore in your best interest. You can always deliver the product to our service point as well.
Biolan is responsible for the products’ statutory liability for errors when the product’s warranty has expired or no warranty has been granted. You can get more information by emailing biolanshop@biolan.com.
Biolan is not responsible for damages caused by the buyer’s actions or omissions.
Force majeure situations.
We are not responsible for product defects, delivery delays or other breaches of contract caused by circumstances beyond our control (force majeure). In such a situation, we will comply with our obligations in the Online Store as quickly as possible in the described situation after first contacting you and verifying whether you still want to receive the order.
