Terms of service

Last updated: 18 August 2026

These Terms of Service govern your use of authenticsaffron.com and any purchase you make from Authentic Afghan Saffron. By placing an order you agree to them. Please read them alongside our Refund Policy, Shipping Policy and Privacy Policy.

Who we are

Authentic Afghan Saffron is a saffron retailer based in Lynn, Massachusetts, United States. You can reach us at contact@authenticsaffron.com or through our contact page.

Ordering and acceptance

Placing an order is an offer to buy. We accept it when we send your shipping confirmation. Until then we may decline or cancel an order — for example if an item is out of stock, if we cannot verify payment or address details, or if we suspect fraud. If we cancel an order you have already paid for, we refund it in full.

Pricing and payment

Prices are shown in US dollars and exclude taxes and shipping, which are calculated at checkout. We may change prices at any time, but a change never affects an order we have already accepted. If a product is listed at an obviously incorrect price, we will contact you before shipping and you may cancel for a full refund.

Product information

Saffron is an agricultural product. Colour, thread length and aroma vary naturally between harvests, and photographs are representative rather than exact. We describe grade, origin and testing status as accurately as we can, and where laboratory testing is pending we say so rather than implying a result we do not have. See our lab report page for our current testing status.

Food product notice

Our saffron is a culinary spice sold as food. Nothing on this site is medical advice. Statements about saffron on our blog and learn pages are provided for general information and have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a health condition, speak to a qualified healthcare professional before consuming saffron in quantities beyond normal culinary use.

Your account

If you create an account you are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for activity that takes place under it. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been used without your permission.

Acceptable use

You may not use this site to break the law, infringe anyone's rights, transmit malicious code, scrape or harvest data at scale, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of our systems.

Our content

The text, photography, recipes and design on this site belong to Authentic Afghan Saffron unless stated otherwise. You are welcome to link to our pages and to cook from our recipes. You may not republish our content commercially without written permission.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from any order is limited to the amount you paid for that order. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States, and the courts of Massachusetts have jurisdiction over any dispute.

Changes

We may update these terms. The version in force when you place an order is the version that applies to that order. The date at the top shows when this page last changed.
