Terms & Conditions
The terms that govern every piece we make and deliver.
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before placing an order. They set out the rights and obligations of both parties and contain important information about how we handle custom orders, delivery, and your legal protections as a consumer in the EU.
Definitions
Throughout these Terms the following words have the meanings set out below.
Scope & Acceptance
These Terms and Conditions apply to every purchase, inquiry, and transaction made through this site, as well as to any written order placed by email or other direct communication.
By completing a purchase, submitting an inquiry form, or signing an order confirmation, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age, legally capable of entering into a binding contract, and that you have read and accepted these Terms in full.
If you are ordering on behalf of a business, you confirm that you have authority to bind that business to these Terms.
These Terms take precedence over any other terms you may seek to impose, unless we have agreed otherwise in writing signed by a director.
About Idun Sauna
Idun Sauna is a Nordic sauna and outdoor-wellness brand, rooted in Finnish sauna culture and operating across Sweden, Germany, Finland and Denmark. We design every product ourselves and work with a dedicated material storage and assembly partner who builds each piece to our exact specifications.
Our registered business details, including organisation number and registered address, are available on request. Contact us at contact@idunsauna.com and we will respond within two Business Days.
Orders & Contract Formation
Placing an order constitutes an offer to purchase. No binding contract exists until we send you an Order Confirmation by email. The contract covers only the products listed in that confirmation.
We reserve the right to decline any order before issuing a confirmation, for example, if a product becomes unavailable, if we identify an error in the product listing or price, or if we have reasonable grounds to suspect fraud. In such cases we will notify you promptly and issue a full refund.
Order Confirmations are generated automatically. Errors in pricing or product descriptions on the website do not constitute an offer. Where a pricing error is identified after confirmation, we will contact you to discuss the options before proceeding.
All products on this site are made to order. We do not hold stock. Production begins only once any required deposit has cleared and the order has been formally confirmed in writing.
Pricing & VAT
All prices displayed on this site are shown exclusive of VAT unless explicitly labelled otherwise. VAT is applied at the applicable rate for your country of delivery at the time of purchase and will be clearly displayed at checkout before you complete payment.
Delivery and installation costs are not included in the displayed product price. These will be calculated and shown separately prior to order confirmation based on your delivery address and any additional services requested.
For orders placed in currencies other than our base currency, the rate applied is the rate at the time of payment. We are not liable for currency fluctuations between inquiry and payment.
Prices are subject to change without notice. The price that applies to your order is the price shown at the time you complete checkout and confirmed in your Order Confirmation.
Payment
We accept the following payment methods:
- All major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) processed securely via Shopify Payments
- Bank transfer (SEPA or SWIFT) for orders with a product value above 5,000 EUR
- Klarna and other payment solutions where displayed at checkout
Card details are processed by Shopify Payments and are never stored on our servers. We do not see your full card number at any point.
Deposit requirement: For orders with a total product value above 3,000 EUR, a non-refundable deposit of 30% of the product value is required before production commences. The remaining balance is due no later than 7 days before the confirmed dispatch date. For smaller orders, full payment at checkout is required.
We will not release goods for shipment until full payment has been received and cleared. Title in the goods passes to you only upon receipt of full payment.
Production & Lead Times
All products are hand-built to order by our material and assembly partner. Standard lead times are as follows:
Lead times are estimates, not guarantees. Production and logistics delays caused by material shortages, carrier disruption, or force majeure events are outside our control. We will notify you of any significant delay as soon as we become aware of it. Delays do not entitle you to cancel an order once production has commenced, except where the delay exceeds 12 weeks from the originally confirmed dispatch date.
Once production begins, any requested changes to specifications may extend the lead time and may incur an additional charge, which we will confirm in writing before proceeding.
Delivery
We currently deliver to Sweden, Germany, Finland, and Denmark. If you require delivery to another country, contact us before placing an order to discuss feasibility and pricing.
Standard orders include White-Glove Delivery: specialist freight by a two-person team, offloading, and placement at a ground-floor or directly accessible outdoor location. Crane lifts, stair carries, or placement beyond a standard vehicle access point are not included and must be arranged and costed separately.
Our logistics partner will contact you directly to confirm a delivery window of at least 5 Business Days' notice. You or an authorised representative must be present at the delivery address to receive and inspect the goods. If you are unavailable and we are required to rebook, a rebooking fee may apply.
You are responsible for:
- Ensuring the delivery location is accessible by a standard freight vehicle (minimum road width 3.5 metres and overhead clearance of 4 metres)
- Preparing a suitable, level, load-bearing foundation before delivery
- Obtaining any planning permissions or HOA approvals required to place a sauna or hot tub on your property
- Ensuring any gates, passages, or access routes are open and clear on the delivery date
Risk in the goods passes to you upon delivery to the delivery address. If you refuse delivery without valid grounds, storage costs of up to 50 EUR per day may apply from the date of attempted delivery.
Installation
Delivery does not include installation unless an installation service has been explicitly quoted and added to your order in writing.
Where an installation service is included, our installation team will assemble the product on-site, connect pre-plumbed fittings, and confirm basic function. Electrical connection to your mains supply and any required permits are the responsibility of a licensed local electrician, which is not included in the installation service.
You must ensure that a suitable power supply has been prepared and certified before the installation date. Delays caused by an unprepared installation site may result in rescheduling fees.
Products that are self-assembled must be erected strictly in accordance with the assembly guide supplied with the product. Warranty claims will not be accepted where damage has occurred due to incorrect assembly.
Right of Withdrawal
As a consumer in the European Union, you have a statutory right to withdraw from a distance contract within 14 days of receiving the goods, without giving a reason, under the EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU.
Important exception: All Idun Sauna products are made to order and produced to your specifications. Under Article 16(c) of Directive 2011/83/EU, the right of withdrawal does not apply to goods that are clearly personalised or made to the consumer's specification. Once production has commenced, you may not withdraw from the contract.
If you wish to cancel your order before production has commenced, you must notify us in writing at contact@idunsauna.com within 14 days of your Order Confirmation. In such cases, any deposit paid will be refunded within 14 days, provided production has not started.
To exercise a right of withdrawal where it applies, submit a written withdrawal notice stating your name, order number, and date of order. We will confirm receipt and process your refund within 14 days of receiving the returned goods in their original condition.
Cancellation & Amendments
Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to contact@idunsauna.com. The following applies:
- Before production begins: Full refund of any amount paid, minus any bank transfer or payment processing fees already incurred.
- After production begins, before dispatch: The deposit is forfeited. If full payment has been made, we will refund the balance minus the deposit amount and any materials cost we have incurred, assessed on a case-by-case basis.
- After dispatch: Cancellation is not possible. You may raise a defect or warranty claim under Sections 12 and 13 if applicable.
Amendments to an order already in production (changes to dimensions, wood species, accessories, or colour) are accommodated where possible. Any amendment may affect the lead time and may incur an additional charge. All amendments must be confirmed in writing by both parties before the workshop proceeds.
Defects & Damage in Transit
You must inspect the goods at the point of delivery. If visible damage to packaging or the product is observed at delivery, note this on the delivery documentation and photograph the damage before the delivery team departs.
To report a defect or transit damage:
- Notify us at contact@idunsauna.com within 48 hours of delivery
- Include your order number, a written description of the defect, and clear photographic evidence
- Do not attempt to use or assemble a product you believe to be damaged until we have assessed the claim
We will assess the claim within 5 Business Days and offer one of the following remedies at our discretion: repair, replacement of the affected component or unit, or a partial refund. We will cover reasonable costs of return shipping where a defect has been confirmed.
The following are not defects and are not covered by these provisions:

This warranty is in addition to, and does not limit, your statutory rights as a consumer under applicable Swedish and EU law.
