- 2. It is expressly noted that this website does not constitute an offer to the buyer to conclude a sale contract but an invitation to the buyer to submit a purchase proposal.
- 3.By clicking on the product, you are interested in, you can see photos of the product and its description as it has been imprinted based on the information provided to us by the respective supplier of the product. If you wish to purchase the product and having selected the special properties of each product and its quantity, you must click on "Add to cart". In the pop-up window that appears, you are informed about the products you have selected, their quantity and the total number of the products of your cart. Then, you select "Proceed to cart" in order to proceed to the next stage required to complete your order.
It is clarified that if a product is not available all along, the user cannot add it to his basket and therefore the conclusion of its purchase cannot be effected. The user has the possibility to ask for information by email as soon as the product becomes available again. - 4. If you do not wish to purchase another available product and you have finished configuring your shopping cart, select "Complete Order".
- 5. At this point, you are asked to fill in your e-mail address and corresponding password and complete your order either as a visitor to our website (i.e. without creating an account) or as a member, by creating an account (or log in to your existing account if you are already a member). In particular:
- If you choose to proceed as a guest, no further action is required on your part.
