ADVANCE PAYMENT
The procedure followed by our company for in-store purchases:
- For importing an item from abroad: After the customer selects the item they want, we confirm with the respective supplier if it is in stock and in how long it will be available. If the customer agrees with the waiting period (for the manufacturing of the item by the supplier and its transport to our warehouses), the customer pays 40% of the final price of the item in advance.
- The advance payment can be made at the cash desk, by card, bank deposit or cash. If the value of the item (regardless of the amount of the advance payment) exceeds 500€, payment in cash is not an option.
- The advance payment is made in one of the above ways in one lump sum and cannot be made in instalments. However, the balance of the amount can be paid in instalments upon collection of the item, in accordance with the options provided by the company at the time.
- In our system, the advance payment is registered by means of a nominal receipt, issued in the details provided by the customer. (Full name, phone number, email).
- Upon delivery of the item to our company we inform the customer, who pays the remaining part of the price, and thus the purchase of the item is completed.
- For products in stock:
In case the customer chooses a product that is in stock, in order for our company to reserve it and not render it available for purchase through its website or other physical store, an advance payment equal to 40% of the amount of the final price of the item is required. It is noted that the selected item is considered to be in stock even if it is available in one of our stores outside the customer's city of service (e.g. the item is available in Thessaloniki and the customer wants to collect it from Athens). Within an utterly reasonable period of time (given that the product may be in stock outside the customer's city of service), the company invites the customer by any appropriate means (mail, mobile phone message, Viber message, etc.) to collect the product.
- The advance payment can be made at the cash desk, by card, bank deposit or cash. If the value of the item (regardless of the amount of the advance payment) exceeds 500€, payment in cash is not an option.
- The advance payment is made in one of the above ways in one lump sum and cannot be made in instalments. However, the balance of the amount can be paid in instalments upon collection of the item, in accordance with the options provided by the company at the time.

The procedure that our company follows for online orders:
For importing an item from abroad:
After the customer selects the item they want, we confirm with the respective supplier if it is in stock and in how long it will be available. If the customer agrees with the waiting period (for the manufacturing of the item by the supplier and its transport to our warehouses), the customer pays 40% of the final price of the item in advance.

Reservation of a product for collection from a store.
To reserve the product (whether imported from abroad or in stock in our company), for orders that the customer has declared collection from the store, the following applies:
- If the order is fully paid, our company reserves the item in the store chosen by the customer, until the latter collects it. It is noted, however, that after thirty (30) days the customer bears the risk of accidental, or due to force majeure, destruction, loss or deterioration of the item.
- If the order is to be paid by cash on delivery, our company reserves the product solely for a period of 48 hours. If the customer wishes to reserve it for a longer period of time, they must make an advance payment equal to 40 % of the total price. In this case, as well as in any case where the customer has made an advance payment, (e.g. when placing the order of the product) our company will reserve the product in the store chosen by the customer for a period of thirty (30) days, within which they must pay the full price for the purchase of the product, otherwise the provisions below, under the heading ''Management of the advance payment'' will apply. It is understood that if full payment of the product is made within this period, the same provisions as for the case of full payment shall apply regarding the time of the product's reservation, our company's release of liability, etc.
Management of the advance payment
Wherever the obligation (or the possibility) of the buyer to pay a certain amount to the company as an advance payment is mentioned in individual parts of the present document, this amount shall be given to ensure the completion of the transaction (especially the full payment of the price), and to cover the company's loss from the non-performance of the contract. The buyer understands and expressly accepts that if the transaction (and in particular the full payment of the price) is not completed for reasons exclusively within their sphere of influence (indicatively but not limited to the buyer's change of mind, non-response to the company's communications regarding the delivery of the product, if the latter is not fully paid, non-payment of the price, etc.), then the advance payment will be withheld and the buyer will not be entitled to claim it. Especially if the customer has chosen a product code not marketed by our company or a product adapted to their own individual needs and specifications, i.e. it is "custom made", and the transaction is ultimately not completed for the reasons indicated above, our company is entitled, in addition to the advance payment, to seek compensation for any further proven loss.

- The buyer of the Gift Card should be aware that upon purchase of the Gift Card, our Company will not issue a tax document, as this will be issued at the time of redemption of the Gift Card and the purchase of the corresponding products.
