However, for some countries it is not yet possible for us to ship with customs duties/taxes included. If you order a product from our website to one of these countries, you will get a clear warning in the Checkout that you may receive an additional customs bill at a later time. You will have to check a box to say that you agree with this. If you do NOT get this warning, it means that we ship to your country with all duties and taxes included. The amount you pay to Murena will be the only amount you have to pay to get your Murena product!

Why Murena?
Murena is a reference to the project initial name, EELO, we had to drop some time back.
When looking for a new name, we read this reference on wikipedia we liked a lot:
Murena is a name (cognomen) used by a Roman plebeian family from Lanuvium belonging to the gens Licinia. It is supposed to be derived from the fondness of a family member for lampreys (murenae). The plebs were, in ancient Rome, the general body of free Roman citizens who were not patricians, as determined by the census. The precise origins of the group and the term are unclear, though it may be that they began as a limited political movement in opposition to the elite (patricians) which became more widely applied.
Like those free Roman citizens who fought for their freedom, Murena aims to free people from the Big Tech control over our personal data.
