1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Iboga Culture website (ibogaculture.com), creating an account, or placing an order, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use this website or purchase any products. We reserve the right to refuse service to any person at our sole discretion.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase from Iboga Culture. By placing an order you confirm that you meet this requirement. We reserve the right to cancel any order where age cannot be verified.
Our products are intended exclusively for:
- Licensed researchers, pharmacologists and analytical chemists
- Harm-reduction professionals operating within applicable legal frameworks
- Certified facilitators and therapeutic practitioners
- Institutional buyers with documented professional credentials
We do not supply to the general public for recreational use and reserve the right to request proof of professional credentials before processing any order.
3. Nature of Products
Iboga Culture supplies Tabernanthe iboga root bark and alkaloid extracts as botanical reference materials and research-grade substances. Our products are described accurately in terms of botanical origin, alkaloid content and analytical specifications.
All product descriptions, certificates of analysis and analytical data are provided for informational purposes and represent our best scientific characterisation of each batch at the time of testing. Minor batch-to-batch variation in minor alkaloid constituents is inherent to natural botanical materials.
Product images are for illustration purposes and actual packaging may vary.
4. Medical Disclaimer
Nothing on this website constitutes medical advice, a diagnosis, treatment recommendation or endorsement of any therapeutic protocol. Iboga Culture is not a licensed medical provider. Our products are not licensed medicinal products under Directive 2001/83/EC or any equivalent national legislation.
Ibogaine and related alkaloids are pharmacologically active substances with a significant safety profile, including potential cardiovascular effects and interactions with numerous medications (including SSRIs, antiretrovirals and QT-prolonging drugs). Administration outside supervised clinical settings carries substantial risk.
We strongly advise that any use of iboga alkaloids be:
- Preceded by comprehensive medical screening including ECG/cardiac assessment
- Conducted or supervised by a qualified medical professional
- Subject to a full pharmaceutical interaction review
- Undertaken within a legally compliant framework in the user's jurisdiction
Iboga Culture accepts no liability for any harm arising from the use of products purchased from this site in circumstances other than those for which they were supplied.
5. Legal Compliance
The legal status of ibogaine and Tabernanthe iboga varies significantly across jurisdictions. It is your sole responsibility to determine whether purchasing, importing, possessing or using iboga products is lawful in your country, region and intended application.
By placing an order you confirm that:
- You have verified that the importation and possession of iboga root bark or ibogaine is legal in your jurisdiction
- You hold any licences, registrations or authorisations required by applicable law
- The products will be used in compliance with all applicable national and EU regulations
- You accept full legal responsibility for any breach of local law arising from your use of our products
Iboga Culture complies with CITES Appendix II requirements for all shipments. Customers are responsible for compliance with import permit requirements in their destination country.
6. Orders & Payments
All orders placed via our website constitute a contractual offer to purchase. We reserve the right to accept or decline any order at our discretion. Order confirmation emails confirm receipt of your order, not acceptance — full acceptance occurs upon dispatch.
All prices are quoted in Euros (EUR) and are inclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise stated. We accept payment via the methods displayed at checkout. Payment is processed by PCI-DSS compliant third-party providers; we do not store card details.
We reserve the right to cancel orders and issue refunds where:
- Products are out of stock following order placement
- We are unable to verify professional credentials where requested
- There are reasonable grounds to suspect fraudulent activity
- Export restrictions apply to the destination country
7. Shipping & Delivery
We ship to EU member states and select countries in compliance with applicable export regulations. All shipments are accompanied by CITES Appendix II documentation. Shipping is discreet — parcels carry no exterior indication of product contents.
Estimated delivery times are indicative and not guaranteed. Iboga Culture is not liable for delays caused by customs inspection, carrier disruption or force majeure. Risk of loss passes to the customer upon handover to the carrier.
Import duties, taxes and customs fees in the destination country are the customer's responsibility.
8. Returns & Refunds
Under EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU), you have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the date of delivery for distance sales. This right does not apply to goods that deteriorate rapidly or goods sealed for health or hygiene reasons that have been opened.
To initiate a return, contact us within 14 days of receipt via our contact form. Products must be returned in original, sealed condition. Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility unless the return is due to a defect or error on our part.
Refunds are processed within 14 days of receipt of the returned goods, using the original payment method.

You may access and print content for personal, non-commercial reference. Any reproduction, distribution, modification or commercial use requires our prior written consent. Scientific references and citations are provided in good faith and remain the property of their respective copyright holders.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable EU law, Iboga Culture's total liability to any customer, whether in contract, tort, breach of statutory duty or otherwise, shall not exceed the total value of the order giving rise to the claim.
We specifically exclude liability for:
- Any adverse health consequences arising from use of our products outside supervised, legally compliant contexts
- Loss of data, revenue or profits arising from use or inability to use this website
- Reliance on information published on this website for medical, clinical or research decision-making without independent verification

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be limited under applicable EU consumer law.

These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable European Union law and the national law of the EU member state in which Iboga Culture is registered.
For consumers resident in the EU, you retain the benefit of any mandatory consumer protection provisions applicable in your country of residence. The European Commission provides an Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
