PLACING AN ORDER
By placing an order through the website, you guarantee that you are at least 18 years old and that you have legal capacity to enter into binding contracts.
To place an order you will be asked to follow the purchase process and click on the “Approve Payment” button. You will then receive an e-mail from us confirming receipt of your order (“Order Confirmation”).
All orders are subject to acceptance by us and such acceptance will be confirmed by sending you an e-mail confirming that the product has been dispatched (“Dispatch Confirmation”). The contract for the purchase of a Product between us (“the Contract”) will only be deemed to have been entered into when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.
The Contract will only apply to the products whose shipment we have confirmed in the Shipment Confirmation.
All orders of products are subject to availability. In the event of supply difficulties or depletion of products in stock, we have the right to inform you of similar products of equal or superior quality and value that you may order. If you do not wish to order such similar products, we will refund any amount you may have paid in full.
Upon availability of the Goods and subject to exceptional circumstances in this regard, “delivery” will be deemed to have taken place or the order will be deemed to have been delivered when you or a third party nominated by you, other than the carrier, has obtained physical possession or control of the Goods.
If, after 15 days from the time your order is available for delivery, that order has not yet been delivered for reasons beyond our control, we will consider that you wish to cancel the Contract and the Contract will be considered terminated.
As a result of the termination of the Contract, we will return to you any payment we have received from you, including delivery charges, as soon as possible and in any event within 14 days of the date on which the Contract has terminated.
Transport arising from the termination of the Contract may have a higher cost, which we are entitled to charge you for.
RISK AND TITLE
Liability for the goods passes to you once you or a third party you have nominated, other than the carrier, has acquired physical possession or control of the goods.
Ownership of the goods shall pass into your hands either upon full collection by us of all sums due in respect of the goods, including shipping costs, or upon delivery of the goods if this takes place after collection.
PRICE AND PAYMENT
The prices on our website include VAT but not the shipping costs, which are added to the total price.
Prices may change at any time, however, any changes will not affect orders for which an Order Confirmation has already been sent to you.
Once you have selected all the products you wish to buy, they will have been added to your shopping cart and the next step is to proceed with the order and pay.
To do this, you need to follow the steps of the purchase process, filling in or verifying the information requested at each step. Further, during the purchase process, before payment, you can change your order details.
The function of purchasing products as a visitor is available on the website. With this mode of purchase, you will only be asked for basic information to process your order. Once the purchase processing is complete, you will have the option to register as a user or continue as a non-registered user.
If you are a registered user, the record of all your orders is available in the “My Account” section.
Payment can be made with Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit/debit cards and PayPal.
Your card details will be encrypted. Once we receive your order, we will request pre-authorization of your card to ensure that there is sufficient credit balance to complete the transaction. Your card will only be charged once your order is dispatched for delivery from our warehouses.
If payment is made via PayPal, the amount will be charged upon confirmation of your order.
The moment you click on the “Authorize Payment” button you confirm that the credit/debit card belongs to you.
Credit/debit cards are subject to validity and approval checks by your card issuer. If your card issuer does not approve payment, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery and we will not be able to enter into a Contract with you.
VALUE ADDED TAX
In accordance with current rules and legislation, all purchases made through this website are subject to Value Added Tax (VAT).
In this context and in accordance with Chapter I of Title V of Directive 2006/112/EC of the European Council of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, as incorporated into the Greek VAT Code, the place of supply will be deemed to be the Member State of the address where the goods are to be delivered (i.e. Greece) and the VAT rate applicable in Greece will be applied.
According to the applicable rules and legislation of the jurisdiction concerned, the reverse charge rule (Article 194 of Directive 2006/112) may apply to goods to be supplied to certain Member States of the European Union if the customer is or is required to be a taxable person for VAT purposes. In this case, we will not charge VAT, subject to confirmation from the recipient that the VAT charged on the goods supplied will be refunded by the customer under the reverse charge procedure.
