Agreement
Once the order is received by the Seller, the agreement is binding on both parties. The Seller sends the order confirmation to the Buyer by email showing the Product(s) ordered, the price and delivery interval. The Buyer is obliged to check the order confirmation and notify the Seller immediately if the order confirmation does not match the actual order. Attached to the order confirmation, the Buyer will find the following terms and conditions and information, as well as the right of withdrawal document. The terms of the agreement are subject to change without notice in the event of special needs and / or orders from public authorities. The agreement means that the Buyer accepts updated / changed agreement terms that are not materially unfavourable to the Buyer. New agreement terms will be announced continuously on the Seller’s website and will apply to further deliveries.
Sales and price
The product is sold through a subscription with no time limit. By accepting our terms, the Buyer enters into a subscription agreement with the fixed delivery interval of the product ordered, at the price stated at any particular time on the product’s website and / or order confirmation, including VAT and shipping. Each package includes products sufficient for 60 days of consumption. The package is dispatched every 50-60 days, so that each shipment costs the amount equivalent to two months’ price, including VAT and shipping. The subscription runs until cancelled.
Delivery
The Buyer undertakes to notify Vita Pura AS, if the package does not arrive at the expected time.
The product is delivered to the Buyer’s mailbox. The expected delivery time for the first shipment is up to two weeks from the date of order. If the Buyer does not give notice of a missed delivery within the deadline, this will be considered as if the goods have been delivered and payment requirements shall be maintained.
The following applies to subsequent package deliveries:
The first regular shipment begins after 25-30 days from the dispatch of the trial package, and within 50-60 days for subsequent deliveries. The delivery is normally expected within 3-10 days from the time of shipment. If the Buyer does not notify us of a missed delivery within the period of time established for acceptance of claims, his/her claim will nevertheless be considered. The goods can be shipped again after certain requirements have been met.
The Buyer must be over 18 years of age to order our Products. For orders within and to Norway, Vita Pura sells only products which are classified as food supplements and these can be freely traded in Norway. In case of sales of products to other countries, the Buyer is regarded as an importer of the product to their country and must act in accordance with the rules applicable to imports, including what can legally be imported into the country to which the order is sent.
Vita Pura AS is not responsible for delays or returns due to customs control, rules or prohibitions that prevent the product from being delivered.
In normal cases, Vita Pura bears all costs of delivery. However, Vita Pura cannot take responsibility for changes of rules or extraordinary circumstances that may incur such expenses.
Cancellation
Cancellation must take place within 14 days after the date of the invoice for the Product dispatched to the Buyer. The last day for cancellation appears on the invoice and / or on My Page of the Seller’s website. Cancellation should be addressed to Customer Service (see contact information) and sent by email or letter. When a cancellation is sent by letter, the post marked date applies to determine whether or not the deadline has been met. In the event of late cancellation, the Buyer undertakes to receive the next scheduled delivery before the subscription expires. The Seller reserves the right to stop deliveries of the Product and cancel the subscription if the payment fails to arrive for two or more shipments, or if the Buyer can no longer be considered by the Seller as a creditable subscriber.
Complaints
We strive for high quality assurance of our goods. In the event of shipment failure, the Buyer must contact Customer Service as soon as possible, otherwise the right to complaint will be annulled. The right of claim for the Product is limited to the stated shelf life. The product must be kept in dry and cool conditions, and away from direct sunlight.
The Seller makes reservations in regards of downtime, errors in pricing or information that resulted from matters beyond Seller’s control, including technical problems, power failure, overload and sabotage, etc. See also statements related to Force Majeure.
Payment
The products are sold as a subscription. Payment can be made by automatic withdrawals from card or invoices. When paying by card, you automatically accept withdrawals according to the subscription cycle based on price, selected quantity, and interval.
Payment by card is made with automatic withdrawals by the renowned and international payment solution Stripe.
Payment by invoice is organized by our providers Finans2 or Arvato Financial Solutions. A credit check can be performed so that you can do payment by invoice.
Stripe, Finans2 and Arvato Financial Solutions have their own terms and conditions for their business that appear on their website and as part of their solutions. Vita Pura AS relates to and acts in accordance with these terms and conditions.
Payment by invoice must be made by the expiry of the due date specified on the invoice. If the deadline is exceeded, the Buyer will receive a payment reminder with notice of debt collection and with a late fee totalled at NOK 70. If this is not paid, the debt may be recovered through a collection agency. Interest and penalties will be added in accordance with the current Norwegian rules and practice. Finans2 and Arvato monitors all payments on behalf of the Seller. Redeeming payments can only be made to Finans2.
Right of withdrawal and return
Under the Right of Withdrawal Act, the right of cancellation is valid for 14 days after entering into an agreement. This means that the Buyer has the right to withdraw from the agreement within 14 days without giving any reason for this. The withdrawal period expires 14 days after the date when the Buyer receives the first product to his mailbox.
If the package has been shipped before the right of withdrawal was used, it is assumed that the shipment will be returned intact in original packaging with the completed withdrawal form which comes with the first delivery. The Buyer is obliged to cover return postage. Norwegian authorities have an established food classification to ensure that it is healthy and complies with the quality assurance requirements. If the right of withdrawal is applied to products where the seal is broken, the original requirement will be maintained even if the package is sent in return. The Buyer will be responsible for any damage to the returned product.
If the Buyer has received a package which he/she has not ordered, they should immediately contact the Seller via Customer Service by email: support@vitapura.com
The right of return is applied only to the first shipment under the right of withdrawal. Further subscription packages cannot be returned. Packages that come back outside of the rules on the right of withdrawal or outside the agreement with Customer Service, will normally incur a return fee of NOK 150. Invoices issued outside the right of withdrawal are not credited. Upon return of a package due to unknown address, a postage fee of NOK 79 will be incurred when the package is resent to the correct address.
Change of Address
Change of address must be reported to the Seller as soon as possible. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to notify of his/her relocation. Any costs associated with shipments that are sent without change of address being notified by the Buyer, must be borne by the Buyer. Our email for notifications: support@vitapura.com

Force majeure
Should a situation arise that would make it impossible for the Seller to fulfil his obligations under this Agreement, and which under ordinary purchasing law rules is considered as Force Majeure, the affected party’s obligations will cease for as long as the extraordinary situation continues. For example, Force Majeure may be caused by law change, labour conflict, strike, lockout or other circumstances that the parties do not control, such as war, riot, fire, explosion or government intervention. The same applies to sudden changes in the requirements for the labelling of products, warning texts, sales bans or decisions from authorities that affect the market and products in the negative direction, or abnormal decline in the market.
