C. General terms and conditions governing all of the above (A and B)





11. Special term


11.1 It is expressly pointed out that our Company does not provide any kind of advice or guidance on health issues, for which your doctor is solely responsible, whom you should contact directly and whose advice you should follow. If in the course your communication with us, you voluntarily and of your own initiative raise any health issue, our Company is only obliged to record the incident (completely anonymously) and report it to the competent authorities, as provided for by law.


11.2. Our heat-not-burn Products are intended for adult consumers who register as smokers and who would otherwise continue to smoke or use nicotine Products and they do not constitute an alternative to quit smoking, nor are they designed to be an aid for giving up. They are not harmless, they contain nicotine which is addictive. Further information about the risk is available on the website iqos.gr. In any case, your registration in our Database (and participation in any Program of our Company) is based on the recognition and acceptance by you of the above, as the result of a personal and informed choice, as an adult consumer.


12. Limitation of Liability of Papastratos


12.1. You enter and navigate the Website as well as register with our Adult Consumer Base on your own initiative and at your own risk, fully aware that you are visiting a point of sale for tobacco products having provided your solemn declaration that you are over 18 years old and a smoker.


12.2. Your connection to the Website is conducted through technical means and via the providers of your choice. Papastratos shall provide no guarantees of the following: (i) the proper operation of the websites and/or applications; (ii) rights of access and use; (iii) the full, accurate, and updated nature of the contents, the information, or the data available on the websites; (iv) the absence of any defects or errors in the content and/or the operation of the Website and/or the applications; (v) the absence of viruses or other malicious software; and (vi) the absence of certain attributes that might be expected in relation to the Website and the other applications, or their content. Therefore, Papastratos wishes to inform you that the entire content of the Website, and the Product information (which can be purchased by the User only through the e-shop) are provided ‘as is’, without any requirements or other guarantees as to their truthfulness, accuracy, or suitability for the use or the purpose for which the Products sold are intended.


12.3. Papastratos takes any reasonable measures to prevent unauthorised access to the Website, i.e. by persons not meeting the requirements set out in Article 2 above. For this purpose, among other things, access to the Website is automatically deactivated after 30 minutes without any further action on your part (so that the Website does not remain open for viewing). However, you must also take all possible precautions to avoid use of the Website by unauthorised persons, such as, for example, avoiding making use of the website in the presence of such persons (e.g. minors, vulnerable groups in relation to tobacco Products, etc.) or leaving the website open with or without your supervision in front of such persons.


12.4. You agree to indemnify, defend and relieve Papastratos, the companies of the Philip Morris International Group and its directors, executives, employees, consultants, agents and associates of any and all third party claims, liability, damages and/or costs arising due to or on the occasion of any culpable, illegal or non-contractual use of the Website by you or the culpable breach by you of any of the Terms of Use. In any case, you must promptly notify Papastratos at contact@iqos.gr or through the Website in the ‘Support’ field, or at the telephone numbers 800 111 4767 (charge free from a landline) or 210 4193888 (charges depend on the telecommunications provider), if you have become aware or have reasonable suspicion or indications that the Website has been used (even if it is due to negligence on your part) in an illegal or non-contractual manner, so that Papastratos can take the necessary steps to limit any damages.


12.5. This Website contains hyperlinks (links) to other websites, which are not connected with Papastratos, and whose content is not controlled by the latter (the ‘Linked Websites’). Accordingly, Papastratos cannot guarantee the correctness, legality, completeness, updating, truth, accuracy or quality of the content posted on the Linked Websites and is not responsible for it or for any loss or damage that may be caused by or due to its use either because of or on the occasion of Product sales through it. Papastratos in no way endorses or accepts or approves the content or services of the Linked Websites, to which users are referred via hyperlinks.


12.6. In addition, as a user you bear full and exclusive liability for any loss or damage caused to Papastratos due to untrue, erroneous or out of date information submitted by you. It should be stressed that any notification sent (as part of the legal obligations of Papastratos or in the case of special communications as indicated in these Terms of Use) to the email address submitted by you when you created your account shall be deemed to be effectively delivered, even if you did not receive it due to an error in the information provided by you and/or due to a technical or other fault in your server, and/or your telephone, and/or your telecommunications provider, and/or due to a change in your information (if you have failed to notify Papastratos in a timely manner, as indicated above).


13. Other Terms


Papastratos reserves its rights, indicatively, and not exclusively, to the following:


13.1. to change part or all of these Terms of Use at any time and to choose the manner in which Users are informed as appropriate (either individually via personal contact information, or by public posts on its Website or a combination thereof or in any other way, at its discretion);


13.2. to renew or upgrade part of or the entire content of the Website;


13.3. renew or upgrade part of or the entire interface, organisational structure, or configuration of the Website, as well as its technical specifications, and

14. Applicable law and jurisdiction


These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Greece. Users unconditionally agree, by acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, that any dispute against Papastratos that may arise from the use of the Website, or for the purpose of resolving issues arising in execution or interpretation of the Terms of Use, shall fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the city of Athens in Greece.




15. Final provisions


15.1. The above Terms of Use bind the parties (Papastratos and Users) collectively, and as a whole constitute the entire contract between the parties, prevailing over any and all previous and current contracts between the User and Papastratos, they are of indefinite duration, and may be terminated at any time from any location (by Papastratos or the User). More specifically, Papastratos may terminate these Terms by sending a respective email to the email address declared by the User setting a reasonable deadline, after the expiration of which the Customer’s entire account will be deactivated as indicated the above. You may terminate the relationship under these terms by following the deletion procedure indicated in Article 5 above.


15.2. Should any term be deemed abusive or is cancelled, this shall not affect the remaining terms, which shall continue to apply and remain binding on the parties. In any case, to the extent that this is feasible, a single term/sub-term or part thereof may be treated individually, in order for the remainder to be rendered valid and the term shall be construed accordingly. Otherwise, you agree that the term must be corrected and shall be construed in a manner that most approximates to the original meaning of the term/sub-term, in accordance with the law.


15.3. Any delay by the parties in exercising some or all of the rights stemming from these Terms shall not result in the weakening or waiver of such rights, which may be exercised at any time at a later stage, at the discretion of their holders.
