11. Return Policy
11.1 Right to Return Non-Defective Products – Right of Unilateral Withdrawal by the Customer
The CUSTOMER has the right to withdraw from the purchase contract within a period of 14 calendar days from the date of conclusion of the service provision contract (when it concerns such a contract), or from the delivery date (when it concerns products). If there are multiple products in the same order, this period starts from the delivery of the last product, and in cases of periodic product deliveries, from the delivery of the first one. The withdrawal is subject to the following conditions:
– This withdrawal is unconditional and without any charge. If the product has already been delivered, the customer must return it in the exact condition it was received, which is presumed to be perfect, along with all its accessories, documents, and packaging in excellent condition. The return of the item will be accepted only if the customer has paid any amount that the Company may have incurred for the shipping of the product to them, as well as the shipping costs for returning the product.
– The withdrawal statement must be made in writing or electronically.
– Upon receiving the withdrawal statement, the COMPANY is obliged to return the amount received within 14 days from the receipt (return) of the products, in accordance with the provisions outlined below.
– In no case will shipping/delivery fees be refunded.
– The refund to the customer will be made using the same method as the original payment. Specifically, in the case of payment via credit card, if the Company has received the amount from the Bank (the issuer of the specific credit card) before the withdrawal and return of the product, the COMPANY must notify the Bank of the cancellation of the transaction, and the bank will proceed with the actions as outlined in the agreement between the bank and the cardholder.
The Company is not responsible for the time and manner of the reversal, as it is governed by the aforementioned agreement between the bank and the customer. In the case of payment by cash, if the customer chose “pick-up from the store,” the refund will be made in cash at the store where the product was picked up. In the case of payment by bank transfer, the refund will be made by bank transfer to the same account of the customer.
– The customer is responsible for compensating the Company if, after receiving the product, it is found that they used it in a manner other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functionality of the goods until the withdrawal statement is made. Thus, it is clarified that every product receipt by the Company is always, even if not explicitly stated, under reservation of the legal rights. The nature, characteristics, and functionality of the goods should be determined EXCLUSIVELY based on the information provided on the product’s external packaging, as well as any supplementary information provided by the company, without opening the product’s packaging or using the goods. The Company is willing to inform the customer about any questions regarding the nature and operation of the products by providing additional informational material electronically or otherwise.
– In case of opening the packaging or using the product, its value will automatically decrease as the product is considered used, and the customer must compensate the company for the reduction in value. The reduction in value from opening the packaging and the subsequent classification of the product as used will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and determined by the Company, and is usually around 20%-30%. The COMPANY has the right to agree with the customer on compensation even through mutual offset. However, in case the product is opened, the return, even with a reduced value, is not mandatory for the Company, but is at its discretion.
– In case the withdrawal concerns a service provision, the customer must pay an amount proportional to the services rendered up to the withdrawal statement.
– If the products are returned damaged or incomplete, the online store has the right, at its sole discretion, to either a) refuse the return or b) demand compensation from the customer, the amount of which will be determined based on the condition of the products, and to proceed unilaterally and without further notice to full or partial offset of its claim against the customer.
11.2 Returns Due to Delivery Errors
In all cases where goods delivered differ from those sold, either in type or quantity, or lack a previously agreed property, the customer must return the products for verification and determination of the error. In this case, the return shipping costs to the company and the re- shipping costs to the customer will be borne by the COMPANY, provided the customer follows the return method proposed by the company in good faith and in accordance with commercial ethics.
11.3 Returns of Defective Products
If a product is found to have a manufacturing defect, confirmed by an authorized repairer who provides the warranty or, if the warranty is directly provided by the Company, by the Company itself, the following applies:
• The warranty is provided for a limited period, which is stated in the product’s detailed specifications. After this period, repair or replacement of the products is possible with an additional charge, upon a new agreement with the customer.
• The return of the product for replacement must include all the documents that accompanied the product (e.g., D.A.T., Retail Receipt, etc.) and its full packaging. If the defect is found later after delivery, and the packaging is missing or was taken by the distributors upon delivery, the packaging is not required.
• The return of the products will be made either with the Company’s personnel and transportation means or through a courier, or at the Company’s store located at the address stated at the beginning of these terms of use. In cases of return via courier, the customer is responsible for the shipping costs to the Company, while the Company will bear the shipping costs for the replacement or repaired product.
• After the return of the products, a defect check is carried out, and the customer is informed about the results of the check.
• If the defect is confirmed, the product will be repaired or replaced; otherwise, the transaction will be canceled if the product cannot be repaired within a reasonable time and no replacement product with equivalent or better characteristics or value can be found. In case of transaction cancellation, the refund will be made in the same manner as the original payment, as outlined above in clause 12.1.
• If the products are returned damaged or incomplete, i.e., have damage or wear beyond manufacturing defects, the online store has the right, at its sole discretion, to either a) refuse the return or b) demand compensation from the customer, the amount of which will be determined based on the condition of the products and proceed unilaterally and without further notice to full or partial offset of its claim against the customer.
11.4 Returns of Products Considered Defective Upon Delivery (DOA)
Returns of products considered defective upon delivery (DOA) will be accepted within seven (7) calendar days from delivery to the customer. The product must not be damaged and must include all original documents that accompanied the product (e.g., D.A.T., Retail Receipt, etc.) and its full packaging. In such cases, the following applies:
• The product will be received and checked for the defect reported by the customer, and the customer will be informed of the inspection findings.
• Provided that the products have been received and checked by the Company, and if the defect is confirmed, the product will be repaired without cost to the customer or (alternatively) replaced, or the transaction will be canceled if the product cannot be repaired within a reasonable time, and no replacement product of equivalent or better characteristics or value is available. In case of transaction cancellation, the refund will be made in the same manner as the original payment, as outlined above in clause 12.1.
• The shipping costs for returning the products to the COMPANY and for re-shipping the replaced product to the customer will be borne by the Company.
• If the products are returned damaged or incomplete, the online store has the right to demand compensation from the customer, the amount of which will be determined based on the condition of the products and proceed unilaterally and without further notice to full or partial offset of its claim against the customer.
11.5 Supplier Responsibility and Warranty
Each durable consumer good is accompanied by the written warranty of its manufacturer.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Exceptions to the Right of Withdrawal
The right of withdrawal provided in Articles 3e to 3ia of Law 2251/1994 for distance and off-premises contracts does not apply, except in other cases specified by the above law and in the following cases, which may concern products or services of this website:
a) Service contracts after the full provision of the service, if the execution began with the prior explicit consent of the consumer, and with their acknowledgment that they will lose their right of withdrawal once the contract is fully executed by the supplier;
b) The supply of goods made according to the consumer’s specifications or clearly personalized;
c) The supply of sealed audio recordings or sealed video recordings or sealed software for computers, which were unsealed after delivery;
d) The supply of digital content not provided on a tangible medium, if the execution (downloading or continuous streaming) started with the prior explicit consent of the consumer and their confirmation that they thus lose their right of withdrawal.
In cases where the law requires, as mentioned above, the prior explicit consent of the customer/consumer either for the provision of a service or for the execution of the supply of digital content not provided on a tangible medium (e.g., downloading), the customer/consumer accepts that the order of the service or product implies the immediate execution of the service by our Company and expressly waives, by accepting these terms of use, the right to exercise the withdrawal in these cases.
