  1. Product Availability 

The Company informs its customers about the availability of its products, by posting next to the products the relevant availability status indication (e.g. “In Stock”, “Το Order”, “Out of Stock” etc.). In case a product becomes unavailable following submission of the order, the customer will be informed by the Company of any lack of availability in stock. In the latter case, the customer has the right, if he/she deems that the transaction has become unprofitable, to request in writing and without penalty the cancelation of the order.

If the order consists of multiple products and the unavailability concerns only part of the order, the remainder shall be executed by the Company, unless if the products are related, or they will be used as a whole and have a follow-up character, in which case the above paragraph providing for the customer’s right to cancel the order shall apply.

For the submission of an order, the customer must either register online via our Website (username/email and password required), by filling-in an online registration form or  proceed to the submission of the order as  a “visitor” (without prior registration). For the submission of his/her order, the customer is transferred to the shopping cart, which lists the product(s) that he/she has chosen, the quantity, price, VAT and delivery charges. The order cannot be submitted if the customer has not previously accepted the Website’s Terms & Conditions of Use and Privacy Policy.

Following submission of the order and within a reasonable period of time, an automated electronic message will be delivered to the customer’s email address that the latter had provided to the Company, confirming receipt and registration of the order and listing its contents.

Following delivery of the initial confirmatory email and as soon as the Company confirms product availability, a new e-mail will be sent to the customer acknowledging completion of order processing and dispatch to a courier company, including tracking number, to enable the customer to trace the order and check estimated delivery time. If, upon submission of the order, the customer chose the “Pick-Up from Store” option, he/she will be informed by email once the order is ready for pick-up.

 

  1. Pricing

The listed prices of all products sold on our Website are retail prices and include VAT. The final cost of each order will be calculated after the retail price of each product is added to the packing and shipping costs or additional charges (if any), for which our customers will be informed prior to submitting their order. The price charged to the customer is the price applicable at the time the order was submitted. The Company reserves the right to modify the prices of its products, however, any such modification will not affect the orders already sent and accepted by the Company. The Company offers the possibility, when submitting your order and by completing the relevant field, to select the type of document you wish our Company to issue (retail receipt or invoice).

The transaction will be considered complete only after delivery of a written electronic confirmation by the Company.

Our Company cooperates with a third-party courier, to ensure safe and fast delivery of its products.

Deliveries of products that appear on our Website with the indication “In Stock” are executed:

  • Within 3 business days from the date that the Company accepted the order and sent a confirmatory email to the customer, for deliveries in Athens by courier or for pick-up from our premises (Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., excluding Saturdays, Sundays and official  holidays);
  • Within 5 business days from the date that the Company accepted the order and sent a confirmatory e-mail to the customer, for deliveries outside Athens (with the exception of areas that are difficult to access or remote, see below);

Our Company makes every effort to deliver its products to its customers within the time periods mentioned above, however, in case of delay for any reason whatsoever, the Company does not assume any liability.

If the customer chooses the “Pick-Up from Store” option upon checkout, he/she will be notified by email when the goods are ready for pick-up. The customer is obligated to pick-up the order from the physical store within ten (10) working days from receipt of the relevant notice (Ready for Pick-Up email). If the customer fails to pick-up the products of his/her order within the above time limit, the Company reserves the right to cancel the order and release the products.

In order to take delivery of an order, customers are expected to present the order reference number, accompanied by a notification for receipt, as well as a valid ID. If customers wish to authorize a third party to take delivery of the order, said individual must present a special authorization allowing him/her to take delivery of the product(s) as well as an official ID, necessary for the Company to verify his/her identity. Upon delivery of the products, the risk of product destruction, damage etc. passes to the customer; in light of the above, customers are strongly encouraged to check the products upon delivery, as their signature, obtained by the courier, shall serve as confirmation that the order was duly delivered.

 

  1. Risk of Product Destruction or Damage

Goods shipped by our Company are covered by insurance against loss or damage during transport. Such insurance ceases to apply and the risk of loss or damage passes to the customer as soon as the customer or a third party authorized by the customer takes delivery of the product(s). In the event that the customer has instructed the carrier to transport the goods, the risk passes to the customer upon delivery of the products from the Company to the carrier. When returning products, it is highly recommended to use a reliable courier service.

 

  1. Product Returns/Withdrawal

i. Withdrawal/cancellation of order without reason:

Within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date that the customer acquired physical possession of the product(s), he/she has the right to withdraw from the contract of sale concluded, without giving any reason. In case of multiple goods ordered by the customer in one order and delivered separately, the deadline of fourteen (14) calendar days starts from the day on which the customer acquired physical possession of the last good. In the case of contract for the supply of services, the withdrawal period shall expire after fourteen (14) calendar days from the day of conclusion of the contract.

In order to meet the withdrawal deadline, it suffices for the customer to send by post (To:  KAWACOM HELLAS COMMERCIAL COFFEE S.A., 4 Archaiou Theatrou Street, Postal Code 174 56, Alimos, Attica) or by email to eshop@kawacom.gr or via the Contact Us form within the above time limit of fourteen (14) calendar days, a clear declaration of withdrawal to the Company, informing us of his/her decision to return the product(s).

In this case, the Company shall communicate to the customer by email an acknowledgment of receipt of such declaration of withdrawal.

The customer is obligated to return the goods  not later than fourteen (14) calendar days from the day on which he/she communicated his/her decision to withdraw from the contract. The product must be in its original state, unused, its packaging intact (closed), it must include the original content and be accompanied by the relevant legal documents (proof of purchase, etc.).

Reimbursement will be carried out with the same means of payment as the customer used for the initial transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise between the customer and the Company. In any case, the customer will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The Company, however, may withhold the reimbursement until it has received the products back or until the customer has supplied evidence of having sent back the products, whichever is the earliest.

The customer shall be liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling of the goods other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

 

ii.Withdrawal due to defective product, incorrect shipment:

At the time of delivery of the order, the customer is obliged in the presence of the carrier to check the goods delivered, in order to promptly detect any obvious, aesthetic defects (bumps, alterations, scratches, incomplete parts, etc.) or any incorrect shipment of products. It is stressed that carriers are obliged to remain during the process of unsealing the products by the customer. In case the customer takes delivery of the products unconditionally, it shall be deemed that the products were delivered in excellent condition externally and without aesthetic defects.

In any case, the customer must inform the Company immediately and without undue delay (preferably by email, accompanied by a photo of the defect) and, in consultation with the Company, return the product within fourteen (14) calendar days from the day that he/she took delivery of same.

In case of a defective product or a product that lacks the agreed properties, the customer has the right to choose among the following:

1) withdraw from the contract, unless the defect is insignificant;

2) request, without charge, the correction or replacement of the product with another, unless if such an action is impossible or requires disproportionate expenses;

3) request, without charge, the replacement of the product with another model/product of his/her choice at a corresponding price (for price differences communication with our  Company is necessary).

Through the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform, customers who have the status of consumer (i.e. individuals not acting under a professional capacity) are offered the possibility to resolve out-of-court disputes that may arise from their transactions with our online store.
