The COMPANY is obliged to proceed with the replacement within a reasonable time and without causing significant inconvenience to the buyer. The above rights do not apply if the defect is caused by its use or due to force majeure.
Consumer's/ buyer's claims due to actual defects or due to the lack of agreed properties are time-barred after the expiration of the time-limit of two years.
In case you have received a defective product, you have to notify us in writing in the contact form, by stating which one of the above rights you exercise. In order to avoid any hassle, it

The COMPANY may conclude an agreement to delegate its obligations to a suitable third party. All notifications between the parties must be in writing (by hand, by e-mail, fax or letter by first class mail, which will be deemed delivered within 48 hours of being posted).
XIV. Use of Links to Third Party Websites
In case the Website now or in the future provides access to third party websites through links, this will be done solely for the convenience of its Users, while the use of such links will be at their sole responsibility and the respective websites will be subject to their own terms of use for which the COMPANY bears no responsibility.
XV. Applicable Law - Jurisdiction
Any dispute that may arise from the application of the terms and the general use of the Website by its Visitor or User will, in principle, be resolved amicably. However, if this is not possible, those disputes will be governed by European and Greek law, especially by laws regulating matters related to e-commerce, distance selling and consumer protection, as well as the Code of Conduct for Electronic Commerce, and fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Thessaloniki.
For any dispute deriving from a sale through our e-shop you can apply for its out-of-court settlement through the Independent Authority "Hellenic Consumers' Ombudsman", that is based in Athens, at 4 Alexandras Ave. P.C. 11471, tel. 2106460862, email: grammateia@synigoroskatanaloti.gr.
