Payment Methods

For shipments of Goods, the Company accepts payments by (a) credit / debit card and (b) Viva Wallet. By way of exception and exclusively for the purchase of Goods INSIDE Greece, the Company accepts payments also by (c) cash on delivery, as well as (d) deposit into a bank account.

 

(a) If you choose for payment a credit / debit card (accepted cards are Visa, Maestro, MasterCard), you should follow the instructions in the Online Store. Once you have filled out your details on the order form, you will be re-directed on a specially protected page of the Bank’s affiliate where you will be asked to fill in your credit / debit card number and expiration date, the three-digit security code, as well as any other information your bank deems necessary to ensure a safe transaction. Attention is drawn to the fact that during the processing of the payment by the affiliate bank and until confirmation of the successful completion of your transaction, you should avoid the interruption of the processing of the transaction. You are solely responsible for the correct recording and the truth of your credit / debit card details and the card / wallet you use for the transaction should belong to you. For security reasons, the Company does not store the details of any credit / debit card or wallet for future use, so you must re-enter the data each time you want to make a new purchase. By entering the required credit / debit card information, or your wallet, you explicitly state that you have the legal right to use your credit / debit card or wallet. If your card or the default card of your wallet has no money, the transaction will not be possible, so make sure there is a sufficient balance. Your transactions are protected by top online security systems (SSL 128-bit encrypted digital certificate, CVV credit card 3-digit security code verification, additional on-line security transactions such as Verified By Visa ™ by Visa® or the MasterCard® SecureCode ™), which guarantee a secure trading environment. In any case, the Company cannot guarantee that it can prevent unauthorized third parties from using the information illegally. Also, the Company bears no responsibility for not proceeding to a credit / debit card freezing of funds in the event of fault of the Internet Banking Service Provider (Internet Service Provider or ISP).

 

i) Prior to registering your order, your credit / debit card will be pre-approved and the total amount will be reserved (price and any agreed charges such as transportation) in order to make the corresponding reservation of the Good (s) to be send to you. In case there is a problem with the above pre-approval at the confirmation stage, then the Company will contact you in one of the ways mentioned in section 5.2.2. of the Online Shop’s Terms and Conditions in order to get in touch with you on this issue. If none of the intended ways of communication becomes possible for any reason whatsoever within one (1) business day as of sending your order request, your request will be automatically canceled and you will have to resend it to us. In this latter case, you will receive at the email address you have submitted to us a cancellation message to your order request. In case of successful pre-approval, the final charge of your card is by sending the Good/s. The billed amount other than the value of the ordered Goods (s) includes the shipping costs according to clause 9.1. of the Online Shop’s Terms and Conditions.

 

ii) If, at any point, although such pre-approval has been received and the Good (s) you ordered has/have been sent to you your card has not been charged at the relevant cost and expense by mistake and / or due to a technical or other problem and / or for any other reason, the Company has the right to debit the amount and costs of your order at a later stage, any time. In case you choose to pay by credit / debit card, you must either be present yourself when you receive your order with your identity, or an authorized third party with his or her identity.
