Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: 16/04/2025

Welcome to Salvia Hub! By accessing or using our website, blogs, games, content, or affiliate links, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.


Section 1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing our website, games, or content, you agree to comply with these Terms and Conditions. We may update these terms periodically, and the latest version will be posted on our website with an updated "Effective Date." Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.


Section 2. Nature of Content and Services

Salvia Hub provides educational and entertainment content, including blog posts, games, and affiliate links to third-party products like The Salvia Pipe, a tool designed for use with legal herbs. Our content is for informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute medical, legal, or professional advice. We do not manufacture, sell, distribute, or handle any products, including smoking devices or herbal substances.

2.1. Affiliate Promotion of The Salvia Pipe

We share affiliate links to third-party vendors selling The Salvia Pipe, earning a small commission on qualifying purchases. Salvia Hub has no involvement in transactions, manufacturing, shipping, returns, warranties, or product handling. All sales and related activities are managed solely by third-party vendors. For issues with The Salvia Pipe, contact the vendor directly.

We rely on vendors to comply with applicable laws but do not independently verify the legality, quality, or safety of their products or endorse their business practices. Users engage with vendors at their own risk and are responsible for ensuring compliance with local laws. By clicking affiliate links, you acknowledge and agree to assume all risks, including legal compliance.

2.2. Compliance with New Zealand Laws

To comply with New Zealand's Psychoactive Substances Act 2013, we have implemented geoblocking to prevent New Zealand users from accessing affiliate links for The Salvia Pipe or purchasing it through our website. The Salvia Pipe is promoted strictly for use with legal herbs compliant with all applicable laws. We do not endorse, encourage, or facilitate the use of illegal or unapproved substances, such as Salvia divinorum or other restricted psychoactive plants, in New Zealand or elsewhere.

Users outside New Zealand are solely responsible for ensuring that purchasing, importing, and using The Salvia Pipe complies with their local laws, including customs and import regulations. Restricted items may be seized by authorities, and users may face fines, penalties, or legal consequences. We strongly advise against ordering or using The Salvia Pipe if its legality is uncertain in your jurisdiction. Salvia Hub is not liable for legal violations, misuse, or consequences arising from third-party actions or user decisions.

2.3. Geoblocking Policy

We use IP-based detection to block New Zealand users from accessing affiliate links for The Salvia Pipe, displaying an access-denied message. Users must not attempt to bypass this restriction (e.g., using VPNs or proxies). Salvia Hub is not liable for attempts to circumvent geoblocking or resulting consequences, including legal or regulatory issues.

2.4. Shipping Restrictions

Third-party vendors handle all shipping, subject to local laws. Users are responsible for compliance with customs and import regulations. Restricted items may be seized by the New Zealand Customs Service, and users may face fines, penalties, or legal consequences. Salvia Hub has no role in shipping or associated costs.


Section 3. Responsible Use of Psychedelic Content

Our content about psychedelics, including Salvia divinorum, aims to promote education and personal growth. We approach these topics responsibly and do not promote illegal activity.

3.1. Legal Disclaimer

Our content is not intended to encourage or facilitate illegal activities. Users must comply with all laws in their jurisdiction regarding psychoactive substances. In New Zealand, the Psychoactive Substances Act 2013 regulates substances like Salvia divinorum, and we do not promote their use.

3.2. Health and Safety

Psychedelic experiences can have significant mental and physical effects. Consult a healthcare professional before engaging with psychoactive substances to ensure safety. Smoking any substance carries health risks, and effects vary. Salvia Hub does not claim The Salvia Pipe reduces health risks compared to other smoking methods. Users accept full responsibility for their safety, health, and well-being.

3.3. Age Restriction

Our content and services are restricted to individuals aged 20 or older, in line with New Zealand's age of majority under the Age of Majority Act 1970. We use an age verification pop-up to enforce this policy. Users suspected of being underage may have their access restricted or terminated.

Users agree to use our website, games, and services responsibly. Prohibited actions include:

  • Promoting illegal activities.
  • Spreading misinformation or stigmatizing individuals based on psychedelic use.
  • Perpetuating stereotypes about psychedelic or cannabis users.
  • Engaging in harmful or disrespectful behavior.

    • We encourage open, respectful dialogue and accurate information sharing.

    Purchases or donations through our website require accurate billing information and are processed securely via third-party services like PayPal or Stripe. Refunds are final unless required by New Zealand’s Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or at our discretion. For issues with The Salvia Pipe, contact the vendor directly, as Salvia Hub does not handle returns or refunds.
