Key Positions Summary
This summary highlights important terms that apply when you purchase Ottai products through our online store, including, without limitation, through Ottai.com (and/or its regional storefronts and sub-domains) and any Ottai-branded Apps. It is provided to help you understand the main points before you place an order. It is not a substitute for the full Terms of Sale. The full Terms of Sale remain legally binding and will prevail if there is any inconsistency, except where mandatory law provides otherwise.
1. Who you are buying from
You are buying from Ottai Technology (Wuxi) Co., Ltd., a supplier based in the People's Republic of China.
2. Personal use only
Products sold through our online store are supplied for your lawful personal, domestic and non-commercial use only. You must not resell, distribute, transfer, supply, repackage, relabel or commercially exploit the Products unless Ottai has expressly agreed in writing.
3. Medical device and no medical advice
Ottai products and related digital services are supplementary tools for glucose data monitoring and management. They do not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always follow the Product labelling, instructions for use and advice from your healthcare professional. Do not use the website, online store, app or customer support for medical emergencies.
4. Limited compliance commitment
Ottai warrants only that, at the time of dispatch, the Products are manufactured, packaged and exported in accordance with the requirements applicable to Ottai as manufacturer, supplier and exporter in the place of manufacture and export, including applicable PRC requirements. Where expressly stated by Ottai, the relevant Product is covered by applicable EU CE conformity documentation for the indicated intended purpose and within the stated scope and validity period.
5. CE marking is not local approval
CE marking or CE conformity documentation does not mean that the Product is approved, registered, cleared, licensed, reimbursed, importable or permitted for use in your country or region. It also does not mean that customs, health, medical-device, telecommunications, tax or other authorities in your country or region will allow importation, clearance, activation or use.
6. No implied market authorisation
Access to the Ottai website, online store, app, product information, checkout function, payment function, customer support, cloud service, language option, delivery option, order confirmation or shipment notice from or to any country or region does not mean that the Product has been lawfully made available in that country or region.
7. You are responsible for local import and use requirements
Before placing an order, you are responsible for checking whether the Product may lawfully be purchased, imported, cleared through customs, possessed, activated and used by you in your country or region for your intended personal use. This includes checking any personal-import conditions, permits, prescriptions, quantity limits, customs declarations, duties, taxes, local labelling requirements, telecommunications requirements and other local requirements.
8. Cross-border shipment
Unless Ottai expressly states otherwise at checkout, Products are shipped from China or another overseas fulfilment location on a cross-border direct-shipment basis. Unless Ottai expressly agrees otherwise in writing, you act as importer of record for your shipment.
9. Customs, duties and taxes
You are responsible for customs clearance and for all import duties, tariffs, VAT, GST, customs fees, brokerage fees, inspection fees, storage fees, handling fees and other governmental or carrier-imposed charges, unless expressly stated otherwise at checkout. Ottai will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide ordinary supporting documents available to it, such as commercial invoices and available conformity documentation.
10. Customs and regulatory risk
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ottai is not responsible for delay, inspection, detention, seizure, confiscation, refusal of entry, return to sender, abandonment, destruction, failed delivery or additional charges caused by customs action, import restrictions, local regulatory requirements, your failure to provide information, your failure to pay charges, or your failure to cooperate with clearance requirements. This does not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for Ottai's fraud, wilful misconduct, mandatory non-excludable negligence, Product defect, material inaccuracy in documents provided by Ottai, or mandatory consumer rights.
11. Returns and refunds
Returns and refunds are subject to the full Terms of Sale, the applicable Product labelling, any warranty or after-sale policy expressly provided by Ottai at or before purchase, and mandatory consumer law. Because the Products are medical devices, sterile products, sealed health-protection products, sensors or consumables, change-of-mind returns may be refused once Products are opened, unsealed, activated, used, damaged, contaminated or otherwise unsuitable for return for health, hygiene, safety or Product-integrity reasons, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.
12. Product defects and after-sale remedies
Product defects, after-sales remedies, replacement procedures and any applicable warranty period are governed by the applicable Product labelling, the User Manual, any warranty or after-sale policy expressly provided by Ottai at or before purchase. Ottai may require reasonable evidence to assess defect claims, including order details, Product lot or serial number, photographs, app screenshots, error messages, storage conditions and return of the Product where appropriate.
13. PRC law and CIETAC arbitration
The Terms of Sale are governed by the laws of Mainland China. Subject to mandatory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, disputes will be submitted to the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) for arbitration in Beijing under the CIETAC Arbitration Rules. The arbitration language will be English. The arbitral award will be final and binding.
14. Mandatory rights preserved
Nothing in the Terms of Sale excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, product-liability rule, medical-device safety obligation, data-protection right, statutory refund right, withdrawal right, warranty right, regulator complaint right or other mandatory legal right that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.

4.3 Limits of CE Conformity
CE marking or CE conformity documentation does not constitute approval, registration, clearance, licensing, listing, reimbursement approval, import permission, prescription authorisation, insurance approval, customs approval, telecommunications approval or any other authorisation by any medical-device, health, customs, telecommunications, tax, insurance, reimbursement or other authority in your country or region, except to the extent such recognition is expressly provided by applicable local law.

Unless Ottai expressly identifies your destination country or region as an authorised market for the specific Product and intended use, Ottai does not represent, warrant or guarantee that the Product:
- (a) is registered, approved, cleared, licensed, notified, listed, reimbursed or otherwise authorised in your destination country or region;

Access to the Ottai website, online store, product information, checkout function, payment function, app, account, customer support, cloud service, language option, delivery option, order confirmation, dispatch confirmation or shipment notice from or to any country or region does not mean that any Product has been registered, approved, cleared, licensed, reimbursed, imported, supplied, placed on the market or otherwise lawfully made available in that country or region.
4.6 Order Acceptance and Shipment Not a Regulatory Confirmation
Ottai's acceptance of an order, issuance of an invoice, receipt of payment, dispatch confirmation, shipment arrangement, provision of shipping documents, provision of Product documentation, customer-service response, technical-support response or post-sale support does not constitute:
- (a) legal advice;

4.7 Non-Excludable Obligations
Nothing in these Terms of Sale excludes, restricts or modifies any mandatory legal obligation of Ottai that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
5. Purchaser Responsibility
5.1 Your Responsibility Before Ordering
Before placing an order, you are solely responsible for confirming whether the Product may lawfully be purchased, imported, cleared through customs, possessed, activated, connected and used by you in your destination country or region for your intended personal use.
This responsibility includes confirming all requirements relating to:
- (a) medical-device registration, approval, clearance, licence, notification, listing or exemption;
- (b) personal importation, private use, patient use, quantity limits, prescription requirements or healthcare-professional authorisation;
- (c) customs clearance, import declarations, import permits, customs codes and import restrictions;
- (d) duties, tariffs, import taxes, VAT, GST, customs charges, brokerage charges, storage charges, inspection charges and other charges;
- (e) local labelling, local-language instructions, safety information and warnings;
- (f) wireless, Bluetooth, telecommunications or radio-frequency approvals;
- (g) age restrictions, patient-category restrictions, intended-use restrictions or reimbursement restrictions;
- (h) whether local law permits the importation or use of medical devices obtained from overseas by direct shipment; and
- (i) any other law, regulation, order, policy, administrative practice or authority requirement applicable to you, the Product or the shipment.
5.2 Importer of Record
Unless Ottai expressly states otherwise in writing before purchase, you are the importer of record for Products shipped to your destination country or region.
You are responsible for all import declarations, permits, approvals, authorisations, duties, tariffs, taxes, fees, charges, information requests and communications required by customs authorities, carriers, brokers, postal operators, medical-device authorities, health authorities, tax authorities, telecommunications authorities or other governmental authorities.
5.3 No Domestic Market Placement by Ottai
Unless Ottai expressly identifies your destination country or region as an authorised market for the specific Product and intended use, Ottai does not represent that it has placed, made available, supplied, distributed, imported, marketed or commercialised the Product on the domestic market of your destination country or region.
Your purchase is made on a cross-border direct-shipment basis and, unless mandatory law provides otherwise, constitutes an importation by you for your own personal use.
5.4 Your Cooperation
You must promptly provide any information, document, identification, authorisation, prescription, declaration, permit, payment or response reasonably required by customs authorities, carriers, brokers, postal operators, tax authorities, medical-device authorities, health authorities, telecommunications authorities or Ottai in connection with your shipment.
If you fail to cooperate with clearance or delivery requirements, Ottai may treat the shipment as undeliverable or failed due to purchaser fault, subject to mandatory law.
5.5 Overseas Import and Regulatory Acknowledgement
Where the Products are shipped to, accessed from, imported into, possessed in, activated in or used in any country or region outside the place from which Ottai dispatches the Products, you acknowledge that medical-device regulation, personal-importation rules, customs clearance requirements, prescription requirements, quantity limits, local-language labelling requirements, telecommunications or wireless requirements, tax obligations, consumer rights and other regulatory requirements vary by jurisdiction.
Unless Ottai expressly identifies your destination country or region as an authorised market for the specific Product and intended use, Ottai does not represent, warrant or guarantee that the Product is registered, approved, cleared, licensed, notified, listed, reimbursed, importable, eligible for personal importation, or permitted for possession, activation, connection or use in your country or region.
Ottai's acceptance of your order, shipment of the Product, provision of Product information, provision of CE conformity documentation, customer-support response, technical-support response or post-sale support does not constitute legal, customs, tax, medical or regulatory advice, and does not confirm that the Product may be lawfully imported, cleared, possessed, activated, connected or used in your destination country or region.
5.6 Local Professional Advice
You should obtain your own legal, customs, tax, regulatory and medical advice where necessary. Ottai, its customer-support personnel, technical-support personnel, sales personnel, carriers and other service providers are not authorised to advise on whether personal importation, possession, activation, connection or use of the Products is lawful in your destination country or region, and you must not rely on any informal communication as such advice.
6. Orders and Contract Formation
6.1 Order as Offer
Your order constitutes an offer to purchase the Products identified in your order, subject to these Terms of Sale.
6.2 Contract Formation
A contract of sale is formed only when Ottai issues a dispatch confirmation for the ordered Products, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.
An order confirmation, order number, checkout confirmation, payment authorisation or receipt of payment does not by itself constitute acceptance of your order.
6.3 Right to Refuse or Cancel Before Dispatch
Ottai may refuse, reject, suspend or cancel any order before dispatch for any lawful reason, including where:
- (a) the Product is unavailable;
- (b) the price, description, specification or listing contains an error;
- (c) payment is not received, is reversed or fails compliance checks;
- (d) fraud, misuse, false information or unauthorised activity is suspected;
- (e) the order quantity is inconsistent with personal use;
- (f) the destination is not served by Ottai or the carrier;
- (g) the order may breach export controls, sanctions or restricted-party rules;
- (h) the order may violate or create risk under medical-device, import, customs, health, telecommunications, tax, consumer or other regulatory requirements;
- (i) Ottai reasonably requires additional information from you and you do not provide it;
- (j) Ottai reasonably believes that fulfilling the order may create compliance, safety, legal, reputational or operational risk; or
- (k) Ottai is required or requested by a carrier, payment provider, customs authority, regulator, governmental authority or law-enforcement authority to suspend, refuse or cancel the order.
If Ottai cancels an order before dispatch after receiving payment, Ottai will refund the amount paid for the cancelled order, subject to payment-provider processing time, compliance checks and mandatory law.
6.4 Right to Hold, Redirect or Stop Shipment
After dispatch, Ottai may request the carrier to hold, redirect, return, stop or suspend delivery of a shipment where Ottai reasonably believes that delivery may violate applicable law, sanctions, export controls, medical-device requirements, customs requirements, safety requirements, Product restrictions or any governmental authority request.
Refunds, if any, will be handled in accordance with these Terms of Sale and mandatory law.
7. Prices, Payment, Taxes and Charges
7.1 Prices
Product prices are displayed at checkout. Prices may change from time to time, but changes will not affect orders for which Ottai has issued a dispatch confirmation, except where the displayed price was manifestly incorrect and Ottai is legally permitted to cancel the order.
7.2 Payment
You must pay the full purchase price, shipping charges and any other charges displayed at checkout using an accepted payment method.
Ottai may use third-party payment processors and may refuse, suspend or cancel orders if payment is not authorised, is reversed, is suspected to be fraudulent, fails compliance checks, or cannot be processed lawfully.
7.3 Import Duties and Taxes
Unless expressly stated at checkout, Product prices and shipping charges do not include import duties, tariffs, VAT, GST, customs fees, brokerage fees, inspection fees, storage fees, handling fees, postal charges or other governmental or carrier-imposed charges payable in your destination country or region.
You are responsible for paying all such amounts.
7.4 Currency and Bank Charges
You are responsible for any currency-conversion charges, foreign-transaction fees, bank charges, payment-provider charges or exchange-rate differences imposed by your bank, card issuer, payment provider or financial institution.
8. Shipping, Delivery, Title and Risk
8.1 Cross-Border Direct Shipment
Unless expressly stated otherwise at checkout, Products are shipped from China or another overseas fulfilment location on a cross-border direct-shipment basis.
8.2 Delivery Estimates
Delivery dates, shipping timelines and customs-clearance timelines are estimates only.
Ottai is not liable for delay caused by carriers, customs inspection, import restrictions, governmental action, regulatory action, force majeure events, your failure to provide information, your failure to pay charges, your failure to cooperate with clearance, or any event beyond Ottai's reasonable control, subject to mandatory law.
8.3 Split Shipments
Ottai may ship Products in multiple packages or shipments. Each shipment may be subject to separate carrier, customs, tax, import or regulatory procedures.
8.4 Delivery Address and Contact Information
You are responsible for providing accurate and complete delivery address, contact, identification, tax, customs-clearance and consignee information.
Ottai is not responsible for failed delivery, delay, additional charges, return, seizure, confiscation, disposal or loss caused by inaccurate, incomplete or outdated information provided by you.
8.5 Title
Title to the Products passes to you only after Ottai has received payment in full for the relevant Products.
8.6 Risk
Risk of physical loss of or damage to the Products passes to you upon delivery to you or your designated recipient, except to the extent mandatory law provides otherwise.
Where a shipment is delayed, detained, returned, abandoned, destroyed, confiscated, refused or not delivered because of customs action, import restrictions, regulatory requirements, inaccurate information provided by you, your failure to provide information, your failure to pay charges, your failure to cooperate with clearance, your refusal to accept delivery, your absence at delivery, or any matter within your responsibility under these Terms of Sale, the resulting loss, cost and delay will be your responsibility to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
9. Customs Clearance, Import Restrictions and Regulatory Risk
9.1 Customs Clearance
You are responsible for customs clearance in your destination country or region.
Ottai will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Product documentation and shipping documents that are ordinarily available to Ottai and reasonably necessary for customs-clearance purposes upon written request, such as commercial invoices, Product descriptions, country-of-origin information and available conformity documentation.
9.2 No Guarantee of Clearance
Ottai does not guarantee that customs authorities, carriers, brokers, medical-device authorities, health authorities, postal operators, tax authorities, telecommunications authorities or other authorities will accept the documentation provided, release the shipment, permit importation, permit activation, permit use, refund duties or taxes, or allow delivery.
9.3 Customs and Regulatory Events
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Ottai is not responsible for any delivery delay, inspection, detention, seizure, confiscation, refusal of entry, return to sender, abandonment, destruction, failed delivery, additional duty, tax, fee, storage cost, broker charge, carrier charge or other loss arising from:
- (a) customs inspection or clearance procedures;
- (b) import restrictions or prohibitions;
- (c) local medical-device, health, customs, tax, telecommunications, consumer or other regulatory requirements;
- (d) a determination by any authority that the Product may not be imported, possessed, activated, connected or used;
- (e) your failure to provide information, documents, identification, permits, prescriptions or declarations;

- (j) attempted resale, distribution or transfer by you;

- (l) any event outside Ottai's reasonable control.
This limitation does not apply to the extent the relevant event is caused by Ottai's fraud, wilful misconduct, mandatory non-excludable negligence, material inaccuracy in documentation provided by Ottai, Product defect, breach of mandatory consumer rights, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
9.4 Return, Abandonment or Destruction by Authorities
If a shipment is returned to Ottai by customs, the carrier, a broker or any authority, Ottai may, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, deduct from any refund the original shipping charges, return shipping charges, customs charges, duties, taxes, storage fees, brokerage fees, payment-provider charges, handling charges, restocking costs and any other costs incurred because of the failed importation or delivery.
If a shipment is confiscated, destroyed, abandoned or not returned to Ottai, Ottai is not required to refund the Product price or shipping charges to the extent the event is caused by matters within your responsibility under these Terms of Sale, subject to mandatory law.

You must use, store, handle and dispose of the Products strictly in accordance with the Product labelling, user manual, instructions for use, expiry date, storage conditions, safety notices and applicable law.
10.2 Compatibility
Certain Products may require a compatible mobile device, operating system, app version, Bluetooth functionality, internet connection, cloud service, software update or other technical requirement.
You are responsible for checking compatibility information before purchase. Ottai does not guarantee that the Products or related app will be compatible with all devices, systems, networks or software.
10.3 Unauthorised Modifications and Third-Party Products
You must not modify, tamper with, reverse engineer, misuse, repackage, relabel, resell, combine with unauthorised third-party products, or use the Products with unauthorised third-party apps, algorithms, devices or accessories.
Ottai is not responsible for damage, inaccurate readings, data loss, injury, malfunction or other loss caused by unauthorised modification, misuse or third-party products, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
11. Returns, Refunds and Withdrawal Rights
