It is clarified that any change in the Terms of Use herein does not include purchase orders the User has already placed in our e-shop prior to the amendments entering into force as per the above. Using the site following any amendment as above is considered as consenting to the Terms of Use as amended. Any contract through the site is drawn up in Greek.

Provided information & Products

The Company is committed to the accuracy, truthfulness and completeness of the information provided at the site, pertaining to the transactions provided through it. The Company, acting in good faith, shall not be liable nor bound by data entries made by mistake / oversight according to common experience and shall be entitled to rectify it whenever noticed. The above guarantees are made without prejudice to relevant technical or typographical errors which cannot be predicted or have occurred unintentionally or due to interruptions in the operation of the website herein or due to force majeure.

Limitation of liability

In the context of its transactions through the site, the Company shall not be responsible nor liable for any kind of compensation for any damage or loss that might occur from order cancellations, non-performance or delay in their performance, by any cause. While the Company does not guarantee the availability of the products displayed at the site, it informs the interested User based on the relevant information on availability and, in case this information changes, promptly informs the customers on the lack of availability, bearing no further responsibility.

The Company has taken all necessary technical and other measures in order to promptly update the available quantity of our products; however, it expressly reserves its rights regarding the veracity of the available quantities of products at the site, as the update might be complete within one (1) hour from the moment of change.

In the context of good faith and fair practice, the Company shall not be obliged to accept a purchase order and enter a sale of products and / or services which, due to a typographical or clerical error, appear at the site with an incorrect price, i.e., less or greater than the one applicable for that period. If in a purchase order such a pricing error is found only in part of the ordered products, then the order shall be valid and properly performed for the remaining products, while deemed incomplete for the products in which the error was found; however, if all the items in the purchase order are related, or intended to be used as a whole and operate as a unit and the User states that partial fulfillment of the order does not serve their needs or interests, then the Company shall cancel the entire order.

The site provides the content (for example, information, names, photos, images), the products and services available through the website “exactly as they are”. Under no circumstances shall the Company hold any civil or criminal liability for any damage (direct, special or consequential, which indicatively and not restrictively, alternatively or / and cumulatively, consists in loss of profit, data, monetary satisfaction etc.) that a site User or a third party might suffer for reasons related to the operation or not and / or the use of the website and / or the inability to provide services and / or products and / or information available in it and / or by any unauthorized third party interference regarding products and / or services and / or information available through it.

Product availability

The User is informed of product availability through indications on the page for each product or service at the site. More specifically, the link “BUY / ADD TO CART” is active for each available product, while the link “BUY / ADD TO CART” is inactive for each non-available product and the message “Out of stock” appears instead. The Company reserves its rights regarding the availability of its products if these are not available at the time of order. In that event, the Company reserves the right to not accept the specific purchase order and, therefore, to not make the sale. Any payment shall be returned to the User without undue delay, in the same method the User chose to pay for their order. The following are exceptional cases of availability:

  • Products marked SALE -X% or WEB ONLY SALE: the prices of these products are valid while stock lasts. Purchase orders for these products are carried out by strict order of priority.
  • SAMPLES: samples are distributed to Users by the Company for free, as a purchase reward. More specifically, the User, depending on the total value of their order, may select a specific quantity of samples which shall be added to the order free of charge. These samples are subject to a strict order of priority in the performance of purchase orders, as they are available in limited quantities and the Company reserves its rights regarding their availability if these are not available at the time of the purchase order. The Company reserves its right to inform the User of any occurring reasons rendering the product non-available or for possible (new) times of delivery if there is cause for delay in the delivery. In that case, if deemed that the delay makes the transaction unprofitable for the User, the User may unilaterally cancel the purchase order with a written statement (by email to eshop@youthlab.com). If the order is cancelled, and the sales agreement is therefore terminated, the Company shall return the full amount paid by the User without undue delay.

The availability of products offered for sale through the e-shop might differ from the availability of products offered for sale through the physical stores. Therefore, there are products that might be available for purchase from physical stores and not from the site, and vice versa. This is due to the limited availability of these products. Web Exclusive products offered for sale only through the site make for an exceptional case, where purchase orders are carried out by strict order of priority.

The listed prices for products include VAT. The Company reserves the right to alter prices without previously notifying the User. Regardless of any fluctuation in prices, the User shall always pay the listed price for the product at the time the purchase order is fully submitted.

User Obligations
