The Consumer does not hold any licence or consent to use, in any manner, the trademarks displayed on the e-shop, or the trademarks owned by third-party legal entities.

13. Final provisions
13.1. Papastratos reserves the right to select, at its sole discretion, the Products it will make available for sale in its Remote Sales Channels, and to amend, renew, and/or withdraw them at any time, without incurring any liability, and without any prior notification to consumers (each change will be made before conclusion of the sale contract with a specific consumer, and will concern future orders).
13.2. The Consumer must be each time informed about the Terms and Conditions concerning purchases through the Remote Sales Channels of Papastratos before concluding the purchase, as they may be amended from time to time by a mere post on the Internet (with effect for future purchases). The Company reserves the right (indicatively):
a. to change, at any time, all or part of the Terms (in each case, the parties are bound by the terms as they are in force at the time of the sale);
b. to renew or upgrade part or the whole of the Website content, the interface, the structure, or the configuration of the e-shop, as well as its technical specifications;
c. to limit access to the whole e-shop or a part thereof or to the Remote Sales Channels in general;
d. to cancel, suspend permanently or temporarily, or terminate the operation thereof;
e. to modify the Products offered for sale, to permanently or temporarily cease, or to cancel the sale of Products;
f. to change the manner of operation of the e-shop, and the charges;
g. to post information for a specific period of time and/or until exhaustion of the stock, to make ordinary or extraordinary discounts, etc.
13.3. Should any term of the contract be judged as abusive or be cancelled, this shall not affect the remaining terms of the contract, which will continue to apply and to bind the parties. When a single term or any part thereof may be treated individually, in order for the remainder to be rendered valid, that term shall be construed accordingly. Otherwise, the parties agree that the term will be repaired and it will be construed in a manner that approaches the original meaning to the greatest extent, in accordance with law.
13.4. These terms have been drawn up and are construed in accordance with the laws of Greece. Upon accepting these Terms and Conditions, you understand that you are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Athens, Greece.
13.5. 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 the discretion of their holders.
13.6. Alternative dispute resolution: According to Directive 2013/11/EU, which was incorporated in Greek legislation by Joint Ministerial Decision 70330/2015, there is provision for the option of online dispute resolution for consumer disputes, under the process of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), throughout the European Union. Consumers acting in the capacity of consumer and having any problem with a purchase made from the e-shop may initiate the ADR process via the single EU-wide platform for online dispute resolution (ODR platform), which is available at https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr/main/index.cfm?event=main.home.chooseLanguage, which allows consumers and suppliers to submit any disputes that may arise from online purchases to an online dispute resolution procedure. The certified Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Body is: the European Consumer Centre of Greece (ECC GREECE) – Consumer Ombudsman, 144 Alexandras Ave, 11 471, Athens, +30 2106460284 +30 2106460784, info@eccgreece.gr and http://www.synigoroskatanaloti.gr/. It should be noted that a necessary condition for consumers to have recourse to the Alternative Dispute Resolution process is that they have previously notified their problem to the email contact.gr@iqos.com, seeking a solution. According to law, the ADR process is not binding upon the parties, which may depart from it at any time. The consumer may contact the above ADR body, in order to seek guidance throughout the process of submission and processing of their complaint.
