The order is considered to have been received by the COMPANY from the time the Customer receives an update of the status of the order with the indication "Order Confirmation". Updates on the order status are displayed on the User's screen and sent by email to the online contact address entered by the User/Customer. The status of an order is constantly updated as changes occur during the management of the order. The Customer is required to check the "Order Confirmation" and promptly notify the COMPANY (no later than 2 hours after the time of receipt of an electronic notification with the indication "Order Entry") in writing of any mistake, otherwise the information specified in the "Order Confirmation" shall apply to the Sales Contract.

Should availability or delivery times differ from that indicated on the product page, the Customer will be informed accordingly. In particular, the COMPANY shall establish the availability of the product and the absence of any errors on the electronic store regarding the pricing or price of the products, their characteristics, etc. and thereupon shall confirm acceptance of the order by email. This email will explicitly confirm the content of the order, the total price, and the estimated delivery time of the order as already made known to the Customer prior to placing the

order. The order is considered binding and the sale is deemed as to have been agreed and will generate claims of the contracting parties (Customer - COMPANY) only upon sending and receiving such email with the indication "Your order has been sent" or "Your order is ready to be received".

The status of an order is constantly updated as changes occur during the management of the Customer’s order. The Customer is required to check the status of its order and promptly notify the COMPANY of any mistake in the order, otherwise the information specified in the "Order Confirmation" shall apply to the Sales Contract.

Liability Limitations: In the context of good faith and fair dealing, the COMPANY is not obliged to accept an order and sell products and/or services which, due to a typing or computerized error, appear on the electronic store with an incorrect price, namely with a price less than or greater than the price applicable for that period. If such a price error is found in an order for the part regarding only the ordered products, the order is still valid and shall be ordinarily executed for the remaining orders and shall be considered as not disconnected for the products the error was found in, except where the items in the order are relevant, are used as a single set and function as a single unit with each other and the Customer declares that the partial execution of the order does not serve its needs or interests, in which case the COMPANY is obliged to cancel the entire order.

In the event of an incorrect shipping of unordered products or services, the unconditional receipt of such products or the failure to inform the COMPANY and return the products, cannot be considered as a consent, acceptance or declaration of intent to purchase them. If a refund is requested by COMPANY and the Customer delays to return these products for more than seven (7) calendar days, then this refusal constitutes a statement of intent to purchase the items and the order is deemed to have been confirmed and the Customer must pay their value.

3. Availability of products

The Customer is informed of the availability of the products through indications placed on the page of each product or service in the electronic shop. The COMPANY reserves its position on the availability of the products if these are not available at the time of the order. In this case, the COMPANY reserves the right not to accept this order and therefore not to conclude the contract. Payments shall be returned to the Customer without undue delay, in the same manner in which the Customer chose to pay for his order. Special availability cases are as follows:

• Upon order: The product will be searched at a supplier of the COMPANY and the Customer shall receive an update on the availability of the product. In this case, an advance payment of part of the price may be requested or even full payment depending on the nature of the item.
• Upon pre-order: The product is not available at the supplier’s warehouse but it can be ordered with an estimated delivery time. In this case, the estimated time of arrival of the product is notified to the Customer prior to the submission of the order. The confirmation of receipt of the pre-order by the COMPANY is only a confirmation that the order has been received with the mentioned content and in no case does it constitute acceptance of the order or agreement of terms of sale (conclusion of contract). In this case, an advance payment of part of the price may be requested or even full payment depending on the nature of the item.
• Temporarily not available: The product is out of stock or removed or not expected to be received presently.

The COMPANY shall notify the Customer each time of the estimated delivery time of the ordered product, depending on the circumstances. However the COMPANY reserves the right to inform the Customer of the existence of reasons arisen after the order was placed, which make the product unavailable or of the (new) estimated delivery time if there are reason to delay delivery. In this case, if it is considered that the delay makes the transaction unprofitable for the Customer, the Customer is entitled to unilaterally cancel the order by a written declaration (by email to info@vaza.gr). Once the order has been cancelled and the sales contract has been terminated, the COMPANY must return, without undue delay, all the money paid to it by the Customer.

Unavailability of part of the order: If the lack of availability concerns only part of the ordered products of the order, the remaining part of the order shall be executed ordinarily, unless the products of the order are relevant, and are to be used as a single set and the Customer declares that the partial execution of the order does not serve its needs or interests, in which case the COMPANY must cancel the entire order.
