Terms and Conditions
Effective Date: 3rd of December 2025
This agreement applies between you, the user of this website, and Salon AS, the owner of this website. By using this website, you agree to comply with and be bound by clauses 1, 2, 4–11, and 15–25 of these terms and conditions. Clauses 3 and 12–14 apply only to the sale of services.
If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you must stop using this website immediately.
When you order an online course or other electronic service on this website and receive a confirmation by email, a legally binding agreement is formed between you and Salon AS. The agreement is valid from the date you receive this confirmation.
By enrolling in a course, you agree to pay the full course fee, including any installment payments. Installment payments are non-refundable and do not constitute a subscription service. They cannot be canceled simply because you no longer wish to participate.
Course materials are delivered in units, one unit at a time, over a period of 24 months, in accordance with your payment schedule. You do not receive access to the entire course at once. If payment is not received, you will not gain access to new materials.
If you discontinue your participation, you remain contractually obligated to pay any outstanding balance.
If payment is not received:
- Salon AS will send a written reminder with a minimum 14-day payment deadline.
- If payment is still not received, access to course materials will be suspended until all outstanding balances are fully paid. Once paid in full, access may be reinstated upon request.
- Outstanding debts may be transferred to a licensed debt collection agency.
- Interest will be calculated in accordance with Norwegian law on late payment interest (Forsinkelsesrenteloven) at the applicable statutory rate.
- You may also be charged for standard debt collection costs.
Salon AS reserves the right to enforce this agreement and collect any unpaid amounts through legal means.

12. Service, Storage, and Supply
12.1 Although every effort has been made to ensure that all general descriptions of services offered by Salon AS correspond to the service provided, the service or course may change according to your needs and circumstances.

13. Ordering and Providing Service
13.1 No part of this website constitutes a binding offer that can be accepted. An order is considered a binding offer only after we have sent you a confirmation post prior to the order. Only then does the order become a binding agreement between Salon AS and you.

14. Cancellation of Orders and Service
This section covers your right to cancel a confirmed order or agreement in accordance with applicable consumer protection law. To contact us regarding an order, send an email to maria@herb-woman.com or write to our mailing address (see clause 1). You may also request that the order confirmation be returned for cancellation of the service. Specific cancellation terms for service cancellation are set forth below.
14.1 If you are a consumer within the EEA, you have the legal right to cancel the agreement within 14 calendar days from the date of confirmation of the order. If you wish to exercise this right, send an email to maria@herb-woman.com. Your right to cancel is subject to the provisions of clauses 14.2 and 14.3.
14.2 Service starts as soon as the cancellation period expires:
- 14.2.1 If the service has been fully delivered within the cancellation period, the return policy does not apply.
- 14.2.2 If you cancel after the service has started but is not yet complete, you must pay for the portion of the service that has already been provided. Refunds (if applicable) are calculated within 14 days and deducted for any related costs that may have been incurred as part of the refund, such as administrative fees.
14.3 After the statutory 14-day cancellation period expires, it is not possible to cancel and obtain a refund. By enrolling in a course, you are committing to pay the full course fee, even if you wish to withdraw due to dissatisfaction or if the course materials are not what you expected. Exceptions are only granted with written consent. Refunds are not provided for failure to complete the course.
15. Privacy
Use of the website is also governed by our privacy policy (herbwoman.com/privacy), which is part of these terms and conditions. To view the privacy policy, click the link above. We use cookies and monitoring tools, including Microsoft Clarity, to see how you use our website. By using the website, you consent to us collecting and using this data.
16. How We Use Your Personal Information
16.1 All personal information we may collect (including, but not limited to, your name, address, and email address) will be collected, used, and stored in accordance with the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1998 and your rights under that law.
16.2 We may use your personal information to:
- 16.2.1 Provide you with our service.
- 16.2.2 Process your payments.
- 16.2.3 Inform you about new products and services we offer. You may opt out of receiving this information at any time by contacting us.
16.3 For certain purposes (e.g., if you request to purchase a service on an installment plan), with your consent, we may share your personal information with credit reference agencies. These agencies are also bound by the Privacy Act of 1998 and must use and store your personal information in accordance with it.
16.4 We will not share your personal information with any other third party without first obtaining your explicit consent.
17. Disclaimers
17.1 We make no guarantee or warranty that the website will meet your requirements, be of satisfactory quality, be compatible with all systems, be secure, or that all information provided is accurate. We assume no responsibility for any specific outcome of the use of our services.
17.2 No part of this website is intended as advice, and you should not rely on its content when making any decisions or taking any actions.
17.3 Nothing in the general content of the site (other than these terms and conditions) shall be construed as a binding offer.
17.4 We strive to ensure that the website is safe and free from viruses and other malware, but it is your individual responsibility to ensure your own security for the information, network, and data of your choice.
17.5 Completing this course does not qualify you as a herbalist. It is important to note that herbalists are not legally certified professions in Iceland. Therefore, anyone can call themselves whatever they wish. This means that titles are not protected and formal regulations do not apply. Although “herbalist” has deep roots in Icelandic culture and has been passed down through generations—often orally between families—much of the knowledge has emphasized herbs with a focus on natural rules, it does not give you a formal education or make you qualified under the law. Even though formal education has come, including at Grasaónan, it provides a theoretical foundation and modern framework. This education is not a formal university degree and does not provide a B.Sc. or similar degree.
If herbalism becomes legally regulated with specific requirements, you may need to review your use. In neighboring countries of Iceland, the profession is currently named herbalist or herbal practitioner, which is also not recognized as a licensed profession.
18. Changes to These Terms and Conditions
We reserve the right to change the content of this website, including these terms and conditions, at any time. You are bound by any changes to the terms and conditions from the first time you use the website after the changes. If we make changes to these terms and conditions in accordance with the law, those changes will automatically apply to all orders in progress, as well as all orders you place in the future.
19. Website Availability
19.1 The website is provided “as is” and “as available”. Salon AS uses best industry practices to ensure high uptime, including server redundancy. We make no warranty that the website or facilities will be free from errors or that the website will have continuous access. We make no warranty (express or implied) that the website will have continuous access, timeliness, accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose.
19.2 We assume no liability for interruptions or unavailability of the website arising from external causes, including but not limited to third-party network failures, equipment malfunctions, server failures, power outages, strikes, natural disasters, or legal restrictions.
20. Limitation of Liability
