Submitting an order constitutes acceptance of these Terms and creates an obligation to pay the stated price.

Payments are processed securely by SumUp using major payment cards. An order is confirmed only after payment authorization and the issuance of a confirmation email.

If a product becomes unavailable after an order is placed, the customer will be notified and any amount paid for the unavailable item will be refunded.

For bulk orders, customers may request a quote by contacting contact@uterinerupture.org.

4. Processing and Delivery

Orders are prepared and shipped within a maximum period of 20 calendar days from confirmation.

Customers wishing to arrange delivery to a country not listed at checkout may contact contact@uterinerupture.org for a shipping quote.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to products that are clearly personalized according to customer specifications, or to sealed products that cannot be returned for health or hygiene reasons once unsealed, where permitted by applicable law.

  • The purchase price of returned products; and
  • The original shipping costs corresponding to the least expensive standard delivery method offered.

Customers may also invoke the warranty against hidden defects within two years of discovering the defect and may seek either a price reduction or cancellation of the sale.

For any claim concerning a defective, damaged, or non-conforming product, customers should contact contact@uterinerupture.org and provide their order number together with a description of the issue. Costs necessary to bring the product into compliance will not be borne by the customer.
