General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information

I. General Terms and Conditions

Section 1 Basic Provisions

(1) The following terms and conditions apply to contracts that you conclude with us as the provider (Ioannis Theodosiadis) via the website www.home-of-greece.com. Unless otherwise agreed, we object to the inclusion of any terms and conditions of your own that you may use.

(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following provisions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly attributable neither to their commercial nor to their independent professional activity. A trader is any natural or legal person or partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their independent professional or commercial activity.

Section 2 Conclusion of the Contract

(1) The subject matter of the contract is the sale of goods.

(2) By placing the respective product on our website, we already submit to you a binding offer to conclude a contract via the online shopping cart system subject to the conditions specified in the item description.

(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are placed in the "shopping cart". You can access the "shopping cart" via the corresponding button in the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After clicking the button "Checkout" or "Continue to order" (or a similarly worded button) and entering your personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, the order data will finally be displayed to you as an order overview.

If you use an instant payment system (e.g. PayPal (Express/Plus/Checkout), Amazon Pay, Sofort) as your payment method, you will either be taken to the order overview page in our online shop or redirected to the website of the provider of the instant payment system.
If you are redirected to the respective instant payment system, make the appropriate selection or enter your data there. Finally, the order data will be displayed to you as an order overview on the website of the provider of the instant payment system or after you have been redirected back to our online shop.

Before submitting the order, you have the opportunity to review the details in the order overview once more, to change them (also via the "back" function of the internet browser) or to cancel the order.

By submitting the order via the corresponding button ("order with obligation to pay", "buy" / "buy now", "order subject to payment", "pay" / "pay now" or a similarly worded button), you declare your legally binding acceptance of the offer, whereby the contract is concluded.

(4) The processing of the order and the transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract take place by e-mail, in part on an automated basis. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have provided to us is correct, that receipt of the e-mails is technically ensured and, in particular, that it is not prevented by SPAM filters.

Section 3 Special Agreements on Offered Payment Methods

(1) Payment via "PayPal" / "PayPal Checkout"
When selecting a payment method offered via "PayPal" / "PayPal Checkout", payment processing is carried out via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. (22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxemburg; "PayPal"). The individual payment methods offered via "PayPal" are displayed to you under a correspondingly designated button on our website as well as in the online ordering process. For payment processing, "PayPal" may make use of further payment services; where special payment conditions apply to these, you will be informed of them separately. Further information on "PayPal" is available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/legalhub-full.

(2) Payment via "Shopify Payments"
When selecting a payment method offered via "Shopify Payments", the Shopify Payments service of Shopify International Limited (2nd Floor Victoria Buildings, 1-2 Haddington Road, Dublin 4, D04 XN32, Irland), payment processing is carried out via the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd.

Section 4 Right of Retention, Retention of Title

(1) You may exercise a right of retention only insofar as it concerns claims arising from the same contractual relationship.

(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price has been paid in full.

(3) If you are a trader, the following applies in addition:

a) We retain title to the goods until all claims arising from the ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. Prior to the transfer of title to the goods subject to retention of title, pledging or transfer by way of security is not permitted.

b) You may resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. In this case, you hereby assign to us all claims in the amount of the invoice value accruing to you from the resale, and we accept the assignment. You remain authorised to collect the claims. However, insofar as you fail to duly meet your payment obligations, we reserve the right to collect the claims ourselves.

c) In the event of combination or mixing of the goods subject to retention of title, we acquire co-ownership of the new item in the proportion that the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title bears to the other processed items at the time of processing.

d) We undertake to release the securities to which we are entitled at your request insofar as the realisable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. The selection of the securities to be released is at our discretion.

Section 5 Warranty

(1) The statutory rights in respect of liability for defects apply.

(2) As a consumer, you are requested to inspect the goods immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage, and to notify us and the carrier of any complaints as quickly as possible. If you fail to do so, this has no effect on your statutory warranty claims.

(3) Insofar as a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall be deemed agreed only if you were informed of it by us before submitting your contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.

(4) If you are a trader, the following applies by way of derogation from the above warranty provisions:

a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements made by the manufacturer.

b) In the event of defects, we shall, at our discretion, provide warranty by rectification or subsequent delivery. If the remedying of the defect fails, you may, at your discretion, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The remedying of the defect shall be deemed to have failed after an unsuccessful second attempt, unless something else results in particular from the nature of the goods or the defect or the other circumstances. In the event of rectification, we shall not bear the increased costs incurred by transporting the goods to a place other than the place of performance, provided that the transport does not correspond to the intended use of the goods.

c) The warranty period is one year from delivery of the goods. The shortening of this period does not apply:

- to damage culpably caused by us and attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and to other damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item;
- to items that have been used for a building in accordance with their customary manner of use and have caused its defectiveness;
- in the case of statutory recourse claims that you have against us in connection with rights arising from defects.

Section 6 Choice of Law

(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive the consumer of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence (principle of favourability).

(2) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods expressly do not apply.
