The COMPANY grants the USER the right to replace the products purchased through the online store for reasons related to size and color, not only through the online store but also at the physical store located at 72, Mitropoleos Str, Thessaloniki, provided that the corresponding product codes are available.

Replacement due to actual product defect or lack of agreed property of the product. It is explicitly agreed that the USER has the right to replace the products or receive a refund, etc., in accordance with the relevant provisions on the sale of goods under Articles 534 et seq. of the Civil Code, subject to compliance with all relevant rules in the event of a defective product or lack of agreed property, provided that this is ascertained, of course, after inspection of the returned product by the COMPANY, as already mentioned above under item G1.12.
