It is also noted that the above time limits do not apply to pre-ordering, but the estimated delivery time, as indicated on the e-shop, and as explicitly agreed between the Seller and the Consumer upon placement of the pre-order, shall be applicable instead.

7.8. We shall not bear any liability in the event that the person performing the delivery (Seller or third-party collaborating company) appears within the above time limits but does not manage to deliver the Product, due to erroneous delivery data, or absence of the Consumer. In that case, we are entitled to release the Products ordered and to cancel the order, refunding the amount paid within a few days.

7.9. In any case, the Consumer must appear in person to pick up the Products, and have the proper identification documents (to demonstrate that he/she is the same person as the Account User, and his/her age). Otherwise, any person responsible for the delivery or employee of the store that has been selected as pick-up point, acing as agent of the Seller, will refuse to deliver the Product, which will be returned to the Seller. The sale contract will be automatically canceled, as provided for in Article 3.2. above, since verification of the age and the identity of the Consumer, following an identity check, is a necessary condition for the delivery of the Products, without the establishment of which the sale would have never been concluded (legal transaction foundation - condition precedent). After the successful completion of the first order, for each future order, the possibility for the Products to be collected by an adult who will present himself/herself for collection at the point indicated by the Consumer as the point of delivery of the Product (the deliverer may also request to verify the identity of the receiver for identity verification purposes) is provided. We reserve the right to make any amendment to the above delivery arrangements, at any time, informing Consumers by changing these terms or through specific posts on the Website.

8. Withdrawal

8.1. The rescission right is granted only to natural persons acting in their capacity as consumers, in accordance with Law 2251/1994. Provided that the Consumer is a natural person acting (only) as a consumer, he/she may rescind this agreement without providing any explanation, without prejudice to the terms of Article 8.7.3 below.

8.2. In particular, the Consumer is required to inform us of his/her intention to rescind, within the following time limits:

  1. for Consumables, Accessories, and single-use e-Cigarettes (Veev Now): within 14 days
  2. for the rest of the Devices (apart from single-use e-Cigarettes - Veev Now): within 30 days

  3. from the day that:

  • the Customer acquired the physical possession of the Products, or
  • the Customer acquired the physical possession of the last Product, in the case of a contract concerning numerous Products forming part of the same order, which are delivered separately.

To comply with the withdrawal period, contacting us or sending your declaration of exercise of your right to retract before the withdrawal period referred to in Article 8.1 above expires will suffice.

8.3. The rescission procedure is as follows:

  • The consumer contacts the Company through its contact details in one of the following ways: through the Live Chat on the www.gr.iqos.com website, via a personal message on one of the support pages: IQOS Greece (Facebook), @iqos_support_gr (Twitter), IQOS Support Greece (Viber) or by calling the Call Center about his decision to withdraw by mentioning the details related to his order as they are included in the withdrawal form
  • Then, arrangements will be made for a carrier or a third-party associate (courier) of the Seller to receive the Product returned, along with the rescission form, from the Consumer
  • The Product will be received for inspection, and the Seller will return the money corresponding to the price paid for the returned Product

**It should be noted that filling in the rescission form is highly significant for the conclusion of the rescission/return procedure: the Consumer must state the details recorded therein when contacting one of our representatives, for the conclusion of the rescission/return. Therefore, and with a view to facilitate the process, we encourage all our Customers to fill in the above form electronically or by hand, and to enclose it in/attach it to their contact with our representative, so that the order can be more easily traced and the return of the Product can be properly managed.

8.4. Notes regarding withdrawal:

    a) If the Consumables have been purchased in a box they can only be returned if the box has not been opened (the security seal has not been removed). Individual Consumables that have either been taken out of the box that was purchased or have been purchased from the outset as separate or as part of an offer or package, but outside the box, cannot be returned. The aforementioned restriction becomes necessary for reasons related to the fulfilment by our company of the traceability and security feature obligations arising from Articles 106A and 106B of the National Customs Code (L. 2960/2001).

    b) Accessories can be returned only if they are not damaged and have not been used (in any way other than that necessary to test the product in question).

    c) With regard to Devices:

    i) Single-use e-Cigarettes (Veev Now) cannot be returned in cases if their packaging has been opened, for reasons related to hygiene and the fact that the Device and the Consumable are inseparably mixed and cannot be reused.

    ii) For the rest of the Devices: it is possible to exercise the right to withdrawal even for a Device that has been used (since these Devices can be made suitable for reuse by the Company). It should be expressly noted that the said extended time limit (30 days) and the withdrawal terms are granted voluntarily as an additional benefit (in addition to the statutory one) as part of a special “Money Back” program. This program may be cancelled at any time and the withdrawal may be applied within the time limits and under the conditions laid down in the legislation.

    d) In the case of purchasing a Kit or Mobility Kit, a refund is possible only for the Device and Accessories but not for the Consumables (if they are not in a closed box as mentioned in point a) above, depending on the applicable offer)

    e) A product that is personalized (e.g., a monogram has been engraved on it, the base contains a different lid from the original packaging, etc.) cannot be returned as a result of withdrawal

    f) General obligations of the Consumer:

    -The Consumer shall bear the indirect cost of return of the Products, provided that the Consumer selects his/her own means of return of the Products (not the means/manner indicated to the Consumer by Papastratos, after consultation, in one of the manners listed in Article 8.3.). The cost depends on the price list of the relevant courier company selected by the Consumer.

    - With the exception of paragraph c) above, the Consumer is liable under law for any decrease in the value of the Products that results from handling the products in a manner that was not necessary to specify the nature, the characteristics and the functioning thereof. It should be noted that in order to determine the nature, characteristics and function of the Products purchased by the Consumer, he/she must handle and examine them in a way that he/she would be allowed to do in a physical store.

    - In order for a return to be accepted, the Product sent by the Consumer for collection by the Seller must be (cumulatively):

  • in the condition in which it was received,
  • if the original packaging has been opened, it must be intact, without damage or tears and must be returned with the Product,
  • complete (with all its accessories);
  • - sent back with all the documents that accompanied the product, as well as with the rescission form. In the event that the Product is not accompanied by its documents, the Product cannot be identified with a specific order.

f) A product that is personalized (e.g. a monogram has been engraved on it, the base contains a different lid from the original packaging, etc.) cannot be returned as a result of withdrawal.

8.5. Effects of rescission

If the Consumer withdraws from this contract (and if all the conditions of article 8.4. are met), the money paid by the Consumer as consideration for the specific Product he/she is returning (including delivery costs, provided that these have been borne by the Consumer without undue delay, after the Product has been returned and checked) will be refunded to him/her. You shall be liable only for any decrease in the value of the products that results from handling the products in a manner that was not necessary to specify the nature, the characteristics, and the functioning thereof.

8.6. The Consumer expressly agrees that the money will be refunded by the respective Seller through a deposit to a bank account indicated by the Consumer if the payment was made by cash on delivery, otherwise to the card used for the payment (the same means of payment you used for the original transaction). The Consumer must correctly disclose his/her details and accepts that the deposit of the money to the account he/she has disclosed to us or to the card used exempts him/her from the obligation to return the money as described above. If payment has been made by PayPal, the money will be refunded either (a) to the card, when payment originates from a card, or (b) to the bank account, when payment originates from a bank account, or (c) to PayPal Balance, when payment originates from PayPal Balance (provided, of course, that it still applies as a payment method for the transaction at issue).

8.7. The above also applies in case of rescission of pre-order.

9. Guarantees - after-sale customer support services

9.1. With regard to actual defects and lack of agreed properties, the provisions on liability of the seller shall apply, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 534 et seq. of the Civil Code and Article 5 of Law 2251/1994, as amended and currently in force.

9.2. The commercial guarantees for the Products (where guarantees are provided) are provided by Papastratos.
