The products offered through this website are cannabis seeds.
All cannabis seeds sold by Zanaki Seeds are supplied exclusively for souvenir, collectible, archival, educational and genetic preservation purposes.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, the products are supplied as seeds and are not sold as drugs, medicines, food, supplements, cannabis flowers, extracts or other products intended for human consumption.
Zanaki Seeds does not encourage, promote or authorise any activity that violates applicable law.
The stated purposes of sale do not override mandatory legislation or authorise any use prohibited in the purchaser’s jurisdiction. The legal status of cannabis seeds and their purchase, possession, importation, germination and cultivation varies between countries and may change over time.
Where germination or cultivation is prohibited by applicable law, the seeds must not be germinated or cultivated.
By placing an order, the purchaser acknowledges the stated purposes of sale and agrees not to use the products for any unlawful purpose.
3. LEGAL STATUS AND COMPLIANCE
The legal status of cannabis seeds, their possession, sale, importation, transportation, germination and cultivation differs between jurisdictions.
The availability of a product on this website does not constitute a representation that its purchase, possession, importation, germination or cultivation is lawful in every country or territory.
The purchaser is responsible for checking the laws applicable to their circumstances before ordering, including any restrictions, licences, permits, age requirements or import conditions.
Zanaki Seeds does not authorise or encourage customers to disregard applicable laws. If the purchaser is uncertain about the legal status of a product, they should obtain appropriate legal advice before placing an order.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any legal obligation that cannot lawfully be excluded.
4. PURCHASER RESPONSIBILITY
By purchasing cannabis seeds from Zanaki Seeds, the purchaser acknowledges that cannabis legislation differs between countries and jurisdictions.

The purchaser confirms that:
They meet the applicable legal age requirements.
They are legally permitted to purchase and possess the products in their jurisdiction.
Their order does not violate applicable laws or regulations.
They will not use the products for any unlawful purpose.
They have checked any relevant import restrictions and permit requirements.

Zanaki Seeds shall not be responsible for unlawful use of its products by a purchaser or third party, subject to mandatory applicable law.
Zanaki Seeds reserves the right to refuse or cancel an order where there are reasonable grounds to believe that fulfilling it would violate applicable law.
5. AGE REQUIREMENTS
Customers must meet the minimum legal age required to purchase the products in their country or jurisdiction.
By placing an order, the purchaser confirms that they meet all applicable age requirements.
Zanaki Seeds may request proof of age or identity where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, prevent fraud or verify an order.
Orders may be refused or cancelled where the customer does not meet the applicable requirements.
6. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS AND IMPORT RESTRICTIONS
Orders may be accepted for destinations where the sale and shipment of the relevant products are legally permissible.
Import regulations vary between countries and may change without notice. Customers are responsible for verifying the applicable requirements before ordering.
The purchaser is responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, administrative charges, permits or other charges imposed by the destination country, unless otherwise stated at checkout or required by law.
Zanaki Seeds reserves the right to refuse or cancel an order if shipment would violate applicable law or create a material legal or regulatory risk.
Zanaki Seeds will not intentionally falsify customs declarations, misdescribe goods or provide false information to customs authorities.
The availability of international shipping does not guarantee that a shipment will be admitted by customs or other authorities in the destination country.
7. PRODUCT INFORMATION AND PROVENANCE
Zanaki Seeds makes reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, photographs, provenance information and other published material are accurate and appropriately qualified.
Historical, botanical, ethnobotanical and genetic information concerning traditional cannabis populations may be incomplete, disputed or based partly on oral histories and reported information.
Where appropriate, Zanaki Seeds distinguishes between documented evidence, reported information and interpretation.
References to geographical origin, local names, cultivation history or genetic heritage reflect the information available for the relevant product. They should not automatically be interpreted as proof of genetic purity, genetic uniformity, uninterrupted historical continuity or a scientifically confirmed population identity.
No specific genetic, botanical or historical characteristic is guaranteed unless expressly stated and supported by the relevant product information.
Photographs are illustrative unless explicitly identified as photographs of the actual product being sold. Natural variation may occur between seeds and plants.
8. GERMINATION AND CULTIVATION
Unless expressly stated otherwise, products are supplied as seeds and not as guaranteed viable plants.
Germination results may be affected by seed age, storage, environmental conditions, handling and other factors outside the seller’s control.
Zanaki Seeds does not guarantee a specific germination rate unless a specific guarantee is expressly stated for the relevant product.
Nothing in this section limits statutory rights relating to defective or non-conforming goods.
Zanaki Seeds does not provide instructions for unlawful cultivation. Customers must comply with all laws applicable to germination and cultivation in their jurisdiction.
9. STORAGE AND HANDLING
Seeds should be stored under appropriate conditions, protected from excessive heat, moisture, light and temperature fluctuations.
Following delivery, the customer is responsible for appropriate storage and handling, except where a loss or deterioration is attributable to a matter for which Zanaki Seeds remains legally responsible.
Zanaki Seeds cannot be held responsible for deterioration caused by inappropriate storage or handling after delivery, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
10. PRODUCT AVAILABILITY AND DESCRIPTIONS
Products are offered subject to availability.
Zanaki Seeds makes reasonable efforts to keep product descriptions, prices and availability information up to date. However, errors or omissions may occasionally occur.
If a product is unavailable after an order has been placed, the customer will be informed and any payment for an order that cannot be fulfilled will be refunded in accordance with applicable law.
Zanaki Seeds reserves the right to correct factual errors and update product information. Changes made after an order has been accepted will not alter that order’s terms where doing so would violate applicable law.
11. PRICES AND PAYMENT
Prices are displayed in the currency indicated on the website and include or exclude applicable taxes as stated at checkout.
Shipping costs and any additional charges payable to Zanaki Seeds will be disclosed before the customer completes the order.
Zanaki Seeds reserves the right to change prices at any time. Price changes will not affect orders already accepted, subject to applicable law.
Payment must be completed using an available payment method unless another arrangement has been expressly agreed.
If a payment fails, is reversed or is identified as potentially fraudulent, Zanaki Seeds may suspend fulfilment or cancel the order in accordance with applicable law.
12. ORDER PLACEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE
Placing an order constitutes an offer by the customer to purchase the selected products under the terms displayed at checkout.
The customer is responsible for reviewing the order details, delivery address, product selection, quantities and total price before submitting the order.
Order acknowledgements sent automatically by email may confirm receipt without necessarily constituting final acceptance, where permitted by applicable law.
An order will be accepted in accordance with the ordering process communicated on the website and the applicable legal requirements.
Zanaki Seeds may refuse or cancel an order where:
A product is unavailable.
The destination is subject to applicable legal or shipping restrictions.
The customer has provided materially incomplete or inaccurate information.
There are reasonable grounds to suspect fraud or unlawful activity.
Fulfilling the order would violate applicable law.
Where payment has been received for an order that is cancelled and cannot be fulfilled, the relevant amount will be refunded in accordance with applicable law.
13. SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
Orders are shipped to the delivery address supplied by the customer.
Customers must ensure that their delivery details are complete and accurate. Additional costs or delays resulting from incorrect information may be handled in accordance with applicable law.
Delivery estimates are indicative unless expressly stated otherwise. Delays may result from postal services, carriers, customs procedures, public authorities, weather, transportation disruptions or other circumstances beyond the seller’s reasonable control.
Where the customer qualifies as a consumer, applicable statutory delivery obligations and risk-transfer rules will prevail over any inconsistent provision in these Terms.
If a shipment is delayed, returned, detained or refused by customs or another authority, Zanaki Seeds will assess the circumstances and any available remedy in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the order.
14. CUSTOMS, DETENTION AND SEIZURE
Zanaki Seeds cannot guarantee that customs authorities or other public bodies in the destination country will admit a shipment.
Customers are responsible for checking import requirements before placing an order.
Where a shipment is detained, returned, confiscated or destroyed by authorities, the consequences will depend on the circumstances, the cause of the event and the applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms automatically removes any mandatory consumer rights or makes the customer responsible for a loss that the law requires the seller to bear.
Zanaki Seeds will not provide false documentation or misrepresent the contents of a shipment.
15. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
Where the customer qualifies as a consumer under applicable law, statutory rights concerning withdrawal from distance contracts apply.
For many consumer purchases of goods within the European Union, the withdrawal period is generally 14 days from delivery, subject to applicable rules and statutory exceptions.
To exercise a right of withdrawal, the customer must communicate an unequivocal decision to withdraw within the applicable period using the contact details provided on the website. A model withdrawal form may be made available where required.
Where withdrawal is validly exercised, refunds and the return of goods will be handled within the time limits and under the conditions established by applicable law.
Return shipping costs may be borne by the consumer where permitted by law and where the consumer was properly informed of this obligation before purchase.
Nothing in these Terms removes or restricts a mandatory statutory right of withdrawal.
16. RETURNS AND REFUNDS
Requests for returns and refunds must be submitted using the contact details provided on the website, with the order number and a description of the issue.
The applicable procedure depends on the reason for the request, the condition of the goods and the customer’s statutory rights.
Products returned under a valid withdrawal or statutory remedy must be handled in accordance with applicable law and reasonable return instructions.
Any voluntary return policy offered by Zanaki Seeds will be additional to, and will not replace or reduce, the customer’s mandatory statutory rights.
Refunds will be made using the original payment method unless another method is agreed or required by law.
17. DEFECTIVE OR NON-CONFORMING PRODUCTS
If a product is defective, damaged or does not conform to the contract, the customer may be entitled to statutory remedies under the applicable consumer protection legislation.
Customers should contact Zanaki Seeds with their order number, a description of the issue and relevant supporting information.
The seller will assess the claim and provide any remedy required by law, which may include repair, replacement, price reduction or refund, as applicable to the circumstances and the relevant legal framework.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts mandatory legal guarantees or other consumer rights.
18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Zanaki Seeds shall not be responsible for losses arising from:
Unlawful use of products by a purchaser or third party.
A purchaser’s failure to check applicable local laws.
Incorrect delivery information supplied by the purchaser.
Improper storage or handling after delivery where the seller is not legally responsible.
Customs restrictions or public-authority decisions, to the extent the seller is not legally responsible for the relevant loss.
Events beyond the seller’s reasonable control.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for matters where exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law, including any applicable mandatory consumer rights.

Readers should distinguish between established findings, interpretations, reported traditions and areas where evidence remains incomplete.
21. HISTORICAL AND GENETIC CLAIMS
Zanaki Seeds recognises that the historical and genetic identity of traditional cannabis populations may be difficult to establish conclusively.
Terms such as “landrace”, “local population”, “traditional variety” and “genetic line” are used according to the available evidence and the context in which they appear.
These terms should not automatically be understood as claims of genetic purity, uniformity or uninterrupted historical continuity.
Where evidence is uncertain or contested, Zanaki Seeds may identify the relevant limitations in its editorial or product documentation.

Zanaki Seeds may update, modify or discontinue website content, products or features where reasonably necessary.

25. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

26. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the legal entity operating Zanaki Seeds, without prejudice to mandatory legal provisions that apply to the customer.
Where the customer qualifies as a consumer, nothing in these Terms deprives them of protections or jurisdictional rights that cannot lawfully be excluded under the applicable consumer protection legislation.
Any dispute shall be handled by the competent courts or dispute-resolution bodies determined by applicable law.
