13. Concluding a distance sales contract
The distance sales contract from the Company's online store shall be performed and completed electronically and / or by telephone, without the physical presence of the user / customer at the physical store of the Company, by the following procedure:
- (a) during online distance sales, the user selects the product they wish to purchase and temporarily sends it to the “shopping cart” icon, in the Company's online store. It is specified that any interested user may make purchases freely without being registered or having to register with the Company online store. The user proceeds to a committed purchase order to the Company, for products temporarily stored in the “Shopping Cart”, by clicking on the “I have read and Accept Terms and Conditions” button. This is followed by an electronic confirmation by the Company of the receipt of the user's purchase order, which confirmation is automatically sent, immediately after the binding purchase order (order with a payment obligation) has been submitted. This confirmation is just a confirmation of receipt of the order and does not constitute an acceptance by the Company of the user's purchase order. The Company acceptance of the user's purchase order and the distance sales contract shall take place once the Company has sent an e-mail, to the address provided by the user, confirming the possibility of the Company to execute the order or ship the ordered product, or that the product is ready to be collected from a physical store of the Company. It is understood that if for some reason the Company does not accept the user’s order and the electronic distance sales contract is not completed, the user has no obligation to pay and if a payment transaction has already been made, ( e.g. by credit card or by deposit at the Company bank account), the payment shall be canceled under the responsibility of the Company, and any payments shall be refunded to the customer in the same manner as they were made.
- (b) If the visitor to the Company online store does not make an online order, but wishes to submit a binding offer to purchase a product over the telephone (by calling the online shop customer care line at 2310 819920), visitor must confirm to the authorized partner of the Company that, on the one hand, they have read and accept the present terms and conditions of the Company E-shop, posted on the website of the online store, and secondly that they are committed to the purchase offer of this product and are therefore obliged to pay. THE Company reserves the right to record and store the conversation, in accordance with the law, a right notified to the customer prior to recording, as well as the right to require the client to accept the terms in writing. The customer then proceeds to pay for the product in one of the following payment methods (under Clause 14). The contract, however, is only concluded once the Company has accepted the customer's purchase proposal, confirming the possibility of ordering and shipping the ordered product or availability of the product for collection from a physical store. Acceptance of the customer's purchase proposal is made either by sending an email to the customer's email address (provided the customer has provided an email address), or by any other appropriate means, even by telephone. It is understood that in the event that for some reason the Company does not accept the offer of the user and the distance sales contract is not concluded, the customer has no obligation to pay and if a payment transaction has already been made, ( e.g. by credit card or by deposit at the Company bank account), the payment shall be canceled under the responsibility of the Company, and any payments shall be refunded to the customer in the same manner as they were made.
It is noted that any possibility offered by the Company's online store for online or telephone product booking without the obligation to pay, for it to be reviewed by the user and be paid at a physical store, is not a distance transaction, as the sales contract is executed entirely in the physical store.
14. Payment Methods
Purchases can be made from the Company online store exclusively through the following payment methods:
- Payment to the physical store of the Company. The user is given the opportunity to pay in cash on the day of receipt of the order from the physical shop of the Company.

15. Shipping/ Delivery Methods and Costs- transferring the risk of destruction or loss of sold products
The products sold are delivered to the Company’s physical store or at the place the customer has chosen before completing the order and concluding the sales contract, according to the relevant delivery options provided on the website of the Company. Delivery to the customer's place of choice is carried out by a courier provider, an external partner of the Company, and is delivered either to the customer or to a third party authorized by the Customer. In the event of a third party being authorized to receive the order, the Customer must notify the Company by email or any other appropriate means, prior to dispatch of the Product, of the product being received by a third party, indicating the details of this person. This third person cannot be the Deliverer-External Partner of the Company, except in the case of remote areas or areas that are not covered by the Company network and as long as the Customer chooses to hire their own carrier, indicated by the Company, to receive the products from the Company physical store. Upon receipt of the order, the customer will show to such external partner-carrier the order confirmation and notice of shipment, as well as an official identification document (e.g. ID card, passport or driving license). In the event of receipt by a third party, the authorized third party shall also indicate to the external partner – carrier, the relevant authorization of the client to receive the particular order, legally attested as provided for by Law.
Shipping costs are determined by the destination of the product. Deliveries take place on the ground floor, at the outside entrance of the place of delivery stated by the customer (eg at the entrance of the apartment building).
Upon delivery of the products sold to the carrier or courier Company, as above, the risk of loss, damage or destruction is transferred from the Company to the customer/ buyer. The customer must inspect the purchased products upon receipt and state in writing that they have been duly received. In the event that the Customer does not receive the Products, the Company reserves the right to withdraw from the Contract.
16. Retention of ownership
Ownership of the products sold and delivered remains with the Company until full and complete payment of their total price by the customer.
17. Unjustified Consumer Withdrawal (Article 4 par. 10 Law 2251/1994, in conjunction with JMD Z1-891 / 2013)
The special right of the consumer to unjustifiably withdraw from the contract, especially when the user / customer is a natural person (i.e. not a legal entity, even a non-profit one) purchasing products remotely from the Company's online store exclusively for private use, and not in the context of professional activity (hereinafter referred to as “Consumer”) shall have the right to withdraw, with any justification, from remotely purchasing a product within the exclusive time limit of fourteen (14) calendar days from delivery of the physical possession of the product to the Consumer or an authorized person, as provided above in Clause 15, returning the product to its original state. Consumer withdrawal may be unjustified, without the consumer being obliged to state reasons justifying the withdrawal, as well as without incurring any financial burden on the consumer, except for the cost of returning the product and any reduction in the value of the product, in particular cases mentioned below.
Unjustified withdrawal of the consumer from distance sales might take place by any convenient means of the Consumer’s own choice. However, the Consumer is obliged to prove timely exercise of such right (within the 14-day period from taking over the product’s physical possession). The Company online store, for the convenience of users / consumers, suggests the following alternative ways of exercising the right of withdrawal:
- by email to the Company email address info@e-elastika.gr
- by registered letter to Company at the postal address 28 Kaftantzoglou L. street, Thessaloniki, or
- by telephone at 2310 819920
Upon receipt by the Company of the consumer's statement of exercise of the right of unjustified withdrawal, the Company shall send the consumer a written confirmation of receipt of the exercise of the right of withdrawal. It should be noted that calculation of the aforementioned 14-day time-limit for the exercise of the consumer's unjustified withdrawal right takes into account only the time of submission of the withdrawal declaration, irrespective of the time of receipt by the Company.
Upon exercise of the right of unjustified withdrawal as set forth above, and within the time limit of fourteen (14) calendar days from the date on which the right of withdrawal was exercised, the consumer shall return the purchased product, bearing the respective costs. Returns can be made in the following ways:
- by the consumer, in any physical store of the Company, or
- by shipping the product at the address 28 Kaftantzoglou L. street, Thessaloniki, via the consumer's preferred carrier and at their own expense.
It is noted that the risk of loss, damage or destruction of the product remains with the consumer until the Company has received the product back.
The Company shall, within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date on which it became aware of the valid exercise of the right of withdrawal by the consumer, refund in full the purchase price of the product, using the same method of payment used by the consumer (unless the consumer agrees otherwise). However, the Company is entitled to withhold the refund until receipt of the products or until the consumer sends proof that the products have been delivered for a refund.
The Company shall not be obliged to return to the consumer part or all of the price of the returned product after unjustified withdrawal, in case the value of the product has been impaired due to the consumer's use of the product in an inappropriate manner, that is to say, in a manner different from a common examination of the product to ascertain its nature, characteristics and function, as it would have been in a physical store. In this case, the consumer is liable for the impairment of the value of the product due to improper use. The Company expressly reserves the right to inspect the returned products upon receipt and to retain part or all of the refund, in proportion to any impaired value due to improper use by the Consumer.
Exceptionally, the consumer's right of unjustified withdrawal from the distance sales contract shall not apply, and the consumer may not return the product purchased without prejudice in the following cases:
- In the case of products manufactured specifically for the consumer, with specific specifications or requirements of the consumer or generally tailor- made products (custom made products)
- Where the products have been used, as their use clearly falls outside the scope of a usual examination of the product for the purpose of ascertaining its nature, characteristics and function, as would occur in a physical store, making the product a second-hand product.
- In the case of materials and raw materials, which have been unsealed from their packaging
- In the case of products which are not eligible for refund once unsealed, for health or hygiene reasons
- In cases of service provision, after full-service provision
- In the case where the consumer has only made an online booking of a product, without payment, in order to purchase it from a physical shop, as this transaction does not constitute a distance sale, which the right of unjustified withdrawal of the consumer is only applicable.
It is understood that in all the above cases, as in any case, the consumer retains his / her full right of withdrawal from the contract of sale and return of the product due to legal or actual defects or lack of concerted properties which he / she finds upon receipt and use, in accordance with the general provisions of Articles 540 et seq. of the Civil Code, Article 5 of Law 2251/1994 and other consumer and customer protection provisions.
