It is mutually agreed and understood that all information, data, texts, graphics, photographs, images, music files, videos, messages, and all content in general, either publicly posted or privately transmitted, shall remain under the exclusive responsibility of the natural or legal person from whom said content has originated. This means that users are exclusively responsible for all and any content they post, publish, send, transmit, or otherwise make available through the site services. Due to its size, the website cannot control all the content posted on the site services by users/members and therefore cannot guarantee the accuracy, integrity, legality, or quality of said content. In any event, the website cannot be held liable for any errors or omissions in the content or for any damage or harm that may result from the use of any content posted, sent, transmitted, or otherwise made available on the site services by users/members.

PROTECTION OF MINORS

Website visitors/users who are minors are not permitted to access any site services that are deemed to be inappropriate for minors and cannot be controlled by the website. Any section or service that may contain material which is inappropriate/offensive/immoral provides a warning to visitors/users. If, however, minors willingly visit webpages containing inappropriate/offensive/immoral content, which cannot be controlled at all times, the website does not assume any liability thereof.

DAMAGE/COMPENSATION

Website users understand and agree that they are exclusively responsible for compensating the website and its partners for any legal dispute that may arise between users and third parties due to the content the former post, publish, or otherwise transmit through the site services.

INTELLECTUAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY RIGHTS – TRADEMARKS

Apart from expressly stated exceptions (intellectual property rights of third parties, partners, and organisations), all contents found on the website, including videos, images, graphics, photographs, drawings, texts, services, and generally all website files, constitute intellectual property, registered trademarks, trade dresses, distinctive features, and service marks of the website and are thus protected under the relevant provisions of Greek and EU legislation, international conventions, and treaties. Therefore, no content may be sold, copied, modified, reproduced, republished, uploaded, transmitted, or distributed, either wholly or partially, in any way whatsoever. All products or services that are mentioned in the webpages of this website and bear the marks of organisations, companies, partners, associations, or publishers, constitute their own intellectual and industrial property and therefore these entities assume any relevant liability. Users understand and agree that they have no right to reproduce, copy, sell, resell, and/or commercially exploit all or part of the site contents in any way whatsoever. Should users do so, they assume full liability for paying any relevant compensation.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Given the nature and volume of the Internet, the website is not, under any circumstances, including cases of negligence, liable for any form of damage caused by visitors using site pages, services, options, and contents on their own initiative. Site contents are provided on an “as is” basis, without any warranty, either expressed or implied, in any way whatsoever. The website disclaims, to the maximum extent possible and in accordance with the law, all warranties, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to those entailing marketability and suitability for a specific purpose.

The website does not warrant that the pages, services, options, and contents will be provided without any interruption or error or that errors will be corrected. Moreover, the website does not warrant that the website itself or any other website or the servers used to make these available to users/members do not contain viruses or other harmful elements. The website does not warrant, in any way whatsoever, that contents, pages, services, options, or respective results are correct, complete, and/or available at all times. The cost of any correction or service is borne by the visitor/user and not by the website in any event.

DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY CONCERNING INFORMATION/ADVICE

The content and information found on the website are a contribution to visitors/users and the community of Internet users in general; they are not intended to be perceived as valid information and/or advice and they do not conceal any encouragement or discouragement for performing specific actions. The website collects, processes, and distributes its content; however, it does not warrant that content is correct, complete, adequate, generally suitable, and free of errors, particularly due to its large volume and the participation of third parties (natural or legal persons) in the primary production and collection of content. Therefore, by using website services on their own initiative, visitors/users are responsible for cross-checking the information provided. 

Some of the information on our website is provided by third parties. The website is unable to verify that information and does not warrant its accuracy.

LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

The website does not control the availability, content, privacy policy, quality, and completeness of the services provided on other websites and webpages referred to through links, hyperlinks, or advertising banners. It should not be presumed that the website endorses or accepts the content or services of the websites and webpages to which it refers or that the website is related to these websites/webpages in any way whatsoever.

USER WEBPAGES (HOMEPAGES)

The website is not liable for the content posted and/or published by users on their personal webpages (homepages). Other users may visit these webpages at their own risk. If the website is informed that the content on one or more of the webpages it hosts is offensive to third parties and/or breaches the personal data of third parties, it reserves the right to delete, immediately and without warning, said webpages and/or the user/member who posted and/or published the respective content. This clause applies to texts, photographs, images, audio files, video files, and generally all content that may be posted/published by users on their personal webpages.

APPLICABLE LAW AND OTHER CONDITIONS

The aforementioned terms and conditions of use, as well as any amendment to them, are governed and supplemented by the applicable Greek and EU law and relevant international treaties. The Courts of Athens have jurisdiction to settle any disputes. Any term or condition which is incompatible with the law shall automatically lapse, without affecting the validity of all other terms and conditions. The present Terms of Use constitute an integrated agreement between the website and the visitors/users of the site pages and services and are binding on these parties only. No amendment to these terms will be taken into account or become part of this agreement unless it has been stated in writing and integrated herein. These Terms of Use supersede any other terms and apply to all site services and applications without exception and without the need for other, more specific terms. Users of the website and its services are presumed to accept these terms unconditionally unless they file an objection.

Relevant legal provisions fall under the scope of this section. In any case, the website reserves the right to change personal data protection terms following notification to visitors/users and within the current and/or potential legal framework. If a visitor/user does not agree with the personal data protection terms specified herein, they are kindly requested not to use the site services and not to sign up as a member. Given the nature and volume of the Internet, the website is not, under any circumstances, including cases of negligence, liable for any form of damage caused by visitors using site pages, services, options, and contents on their own initiative and in knowledge of the present terms.
