2. BOTANICAL PRODUCTS

Our botanical collection may include dried eucalyptus, laurel, herbs, flowers, foliage, seeds, plant materials and other naturally derived products.

These products are offered primarily as decorative, aromatic or craft products, unless a particular product description expressly states otherwise.

IMPORTANT

Our botanical products are not medicines, food supplements, cosmetics, essential oils or medical treatments unless expressly identified and legally marketed as such.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as medical, nutritional, therapeutic or pharmaceutical advice.

We do not make claims that our botanical products diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any illness, disease or medical condition.

3. LAUREL PRODUCTS

Laurel and other aromatic plant materials can have different properties depending on the plant species, part of the plant, preparation and intended use.

Unless a product is specifically identified as a food product and labelled accordingly, our laurel products are sold for decorative, aromatic or craft purposes and should not be consumed.

Do not use our laurel products to prepare food, teas, infusions, extracts or medicines unless the specific product has been expressly identified and labelled for that purpose.

Keep botanical products away from young children and pets.

4. EUCALYPTUS PRODUCTS

Our dried eucalyptus products are primarily intended for decoration and botanical display.

Dried eucalyptus should not be consumed.

Do not use eucalyptus products to prepare food, drinks, infusions, extracts or medicinal preparations unless a specific product has been expressly identified and labelled for that purpose.

Eucalyptus may not be suitable for everyone. Keep products away from young children and pets and discontinue use if irritation or an adverse reaction occurs.

5. OTHER BOTANICAL MATERIALS

Other plants, flowers, herbs, leaves, seeds and botanical materials offered through the Labuta Laureada shop may have different properties and potential risks.

Do not assume that a natural product is automatically safe to eat, drink, inhale, apply to the skin or use medicinally.

Unless expressly stated otherwise on the individual product page, our botanical products are not intended for ingestion, internal use, medicinal use or application to the body.

Always follow the specific product description and any safety information supplied with your purchase.

6. ALLERGIES AND SENSITIVITIES

Natural botanical materials can contain naturally occurring compounds, pollen, fragrances or other substances that may cause sensitivity or allergic reactions in some individuals.

If you have known allergies or sensitivities to plants, pollen, fragrances or botanical materials, please consider this before purchasing.

If you are uncertain whether a particular product is suitable for you, please contact us before placing an order.

7. CHILDREN AND PETS

Botanical products, dried flowers, leaves, seeds and small decorative objects may present risks to children and animals if swallowed, inhaled or otherwise misused.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, our botanical products are not toys and are not intended for children or animals.

Keep products safely out of reach of young children and pets.

8. FIRE AND HEAT

Dried botanical materials, bamboo, wood, paper packaging and other natural decorative materials may be combustible.

Keep these products away from:

  • naked flames

  • candles

  • incense

  • fireplaces

  • heaters

  • cooking appliances

  • other sources of excessive heat

Do not place dried botanical arrangements directly above or beside an open flame.

9. NATURAL VARIATION

Our botanical products are natural materials rather than manufactured synthetic objects.

Variations in:

  • colour

  • size

  • shape

  • texture

  • scent

  • dryness

  • markings

  • density

are normal.

The appearance of dried botanicals may also change naturally over time as they continue to dry, age and respond to their environment.

These variations are part of the character of the product.

10. STORAGE AND CARE

Unless otherwise stated on the individual product page, botanical products should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated environment, away from prolonged direct sunlight, excessive humidity, water and sources of heat.

Dried botanical products are not intended to be immersed in water.

Natural products may deteriorate if exposed to damp conditions for prolonged periods.

11. DECORATIVE USE

Unless expressly stated otherwise, our botanical products are intended for decorative and ornamental purposes.

They should not be:

  • eaten

  • brewed

  • smoked

  • burned

  • distilled

  • extracted

  • applied to the skin

  • used as medicine

  • used to treat a medical condition

unless the specific product has been expressly designed, labelled and legally marketed for that purpose.

12. NO MEDICAL OR THERAPEUTIC CLAIMS

Information on this website about plants, botanicals or traditional uses is provided for general informational purposes only.

It does not constitute medical advice.

We do not recommend replacing professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment with any product sold through Labuta Laureada.

If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, take medication, or have concerns about using a particular botanical product, consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional before using it.

13. HANDMADE BAMBOO AND NATURAL PRODUCTS

Bamboo and other handmade natural products may contain variations resulting from their natural material and handmade production.

Small differences between products are expected.

Unless expressly described otherwise, bamboo products are decorative or domestic objects and are not automatically suitable for food contact.

Only products specifically identified as suitable for food use should be used for direct food contact.

14. PRODUCT SAFETY

Labuta Laureada takes reasonable steps to ensure that products offered through our website are safe when used for their intended purpose.

Where a product requires specific safety information or warnings, these will be provided on the product page, packaging or accompanying documentation.

EU product-safety rules require online offers to provide relevant manufacturer information, product identification and applicable warnings or safety information.

If you believe that a product purchased from us may be unsafe, please stop using it and contact us immediately.

15. PRODUCT RECALLS AND SAFETY NOTICES

If we become aware that a product presents a safety risk, we may contact affected customers and take appropriate corrective action, including withdrawal, replacement, refund or recall where required.

We will cooperate with relevant authorities where applicable.

16. PHOTOGRAPHS AND DESCRIPTIONS

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product photographs and descriptions accurately represent the products offered.

Because many of our products are handmade or made from natural materials, the item you receive may differ slightly from the photograph shown online.

Such differences do not necessarily indicate a defect.

17. CONSUMER RIGHTS

Nothing in this Legal Notice is intended to remove, restrict or replace any mandatory consumer rights applicable under Portuguese or European Union law.

Consumers retain applicable statutory rights relating to product conformity, guarantees, withdrawal and remedies.

For online purchases, Portuguese consumer guidance recognises applicable information duties and, where relevant, a 14-day right of withdrawal, subject to legal exceptions.

  • misuse or modification of a product;

  • failure to follow product safety or care instructions;

  • failure to keep products away from children or animals where appropriate;

  • exposure of natural products to inappropriate environmental conditions;

  • use of products in circumstances for which they were not designed.

Nothing in this section excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation would be unlawful.
