The order is not binding on the COMPANY before the Customer receives the confirmation of acceptance of the order, as described below.

The order is considered as having been received by the COMPANY the moment the Customer receives a relevant update of the order status with the indication " Order Registration Confirmation". Order status updates appear on the User's screen and are e-mailed to the e-mail address entered by the User / Customer. The status of the order is continuously updated as and when changes occur during the management of the order. The Customer must check the "Order Registration Confirmation" and immediately inform the COMPANY (no later than 2 hours from the time of receipt of the electronic notice marked “Order Registration") in writing of any error. Otherwise the information referred to in “Order Registration Confirmation” will be applied in the Purchase Agreement.

During the processing of each registered order, the stock availability of the products of the order is confirmed. In case that availability or delivery time differs from that indicated on the product page, the Customer will receive a relevant notice.

The above e-mail will explicitly confirm the content of the order, the total price, and the estimated delivery time. The order is considered binding and the purchase is considered to have been established and creating claims between the parties (Customer - COMPANY) only upon sending and receiving of the above e-mail with the indication "Your order has been sent".

The COMPANY notifies the Customer each time of the estimated delivery time of the ordered product, depending on the circumstances. In any case, the COMPANY undertakes to deliver the ordered product within thirty (30) days from the confirmation of receipt of the order. However, the COMPANY reserves the right to inform the Customer in case of superseding reasons that make the product unavailable or of the possible (new) delivery time if there are reasons for delay in delivery. In this case, if it is deemed that this delay makes the transaction unprofitable for the Customer, the Customer is entitled to unilaterally cancel the order with a written statement (by e-mail [e-mail]). If the order is canceled and thus the purchase agreement is terminated, the COMPANY must return, without undue delay, all the money paid to it by the Customer.

Examples include strikes, terrorist acts, war, supplier / transportation / production issues, exchange rate fluctuations, government or legislative acts, and natural disasters. If such incidents last more than two (2) months, the purchase agreement can be terminated by any of the parties with no compensation. If the Customer deems that he no longer has an interest in the execution of the order, he is entitled to terminate the purchase agreement and the COMPANY is obliged to return the price as well as any other amount paid under the purchase agreement.

5. Provisions in accordance with the Law - “Certain Aspects of the Sale of Consumer Goods and Associated Guarantees Law (L. 7(I)/2000)”

5.1 Legal Guarantee

When the Customer purchases products, either in a store or online, he is entitled, according to Cypriot and EU legislation, to a minimum two-year warranty. The manufacturer or the COMPANY is responsible for any damage or defect of the product within the two-year warranty and without any repair costs (materials, labor, etc.) to the Customer.

If a product purchased by the Customer within the EU proves to be defective, or does not correspond to the description / features, or does not meet the specifications of advertising, or does not have the quality and performance that products of this type usually have, then the Customer is entitled to:

· Product repair;

· Product replacement;

· Price reduction;

· Cancellation of the agreement and full refund.

When a default is found in the product within 6 months from the date of delivery, the product is considered defective at the time of delivery and the Customer must inform the COMPANY. After the 6 month period, the Customer has the responsibility to prove to the COMPANY that the product was defective upon receipt.

Used products purchased from the COMPANY are also covered by a two-year warranty, unless the COMPANY and the Customer agree on a warranty of less than two years, but not less than one year.

Warranty Limitation: This warranty does not apply to physical damage. It also does not apply if:

· the defect was caused because the product has been subjected to use contrary to the instructions of the manufacturer, harsh use, exposure to moisture or extreme thermal or environmental conditions or abrupt changes in these conditions, corrosion, oxidation, unauthorized changes or connections, unauthorized opening or repair, repair using unauthorized spare parts, misuse, improper installation, accident, natural phenomena, food or liquid spillage, influence from chemicals or other actions beyond the reasonable control of the COMPANY (including indicative defects, such as batteries, which by their very nature have a limited lifespan) unless the defect was caused directly by defects in materials, designs or human labor;

· the product serial number has been withdrawn, erased, tampered with, altered or illegible;

· the defect was caused by a faulty network operation;

· the defect was caused by the fact that the product was used or associated with a component that does not fit the technical characteristics of the device;

· the product software needs to be upgraded due to network configuration changes or changes to the product software by an unauthorized person;

· the fault is due to a file or program, which was placed in the internal or external memory of the device;

· the product has not been inspected by the COMPANY’s technical department to detect and confirm the defect of the device.

In order for this limited warranty to be valid, the Customer must present the original invoice of purchase of the product and deliver the product to the COMPANY. Liability for Personal Data: The COMPANY does not bear any responsibility for any, total or partial loss of personal data during the repair of the device. Only the legal user of the product has the sole responsibility for the safekeeping of personal data found in an electronic device. The COMPANY also bears no responsibility for the partial or total loss of data, caused by a defect of the electronic device, whether due to a manufacturing error (when under warranty), or a User’s error (when out of warranty).

In case the Customer does not pick-up within three (3) months the items he has submitted for repair, then the COMPANY does not bear any responsibility for their safekeeping.

5.2. Commercial Warranty (Manufacturer's Warranty)

The products of the COMPANY are covered by a guarantee either by the company itself or by the official representative in Cyprus, or by the official representative within the territory of the European Union.

6. Final Provisions

Agreements through the online store are governed by European and Cypriot law, in particular by legislation governing matters relating to e-commerce, distance selling and consumer protection. Similarly, the e-shop has been created and is controlled by the COMPANY in Cyprus and the Cypriot Legislation will guide the use of the e-shop and its interpretation. If the User chooses to access the online store from another country, he has the responsibility to follow the Laws of that country.

Any dispute that arises in relation to the contractual relationship between the COMPANY and the Customer, shall be resolved by the competent Courts of Cyprus.
