    The Customer is informed of the availability of the products through indications placed on the page of each product or service in the online store.

In this case, the website ykmedica.gr reserves the right not to accept the specific order and therefore not to make the sale. Any payments will be refunded to the Customer without undue delay, in the same way that the Customer chose to pay for his order. Special cases of availability are the following:

    Temporarily Out of Stock

    The product is out of stock or discontinued or its receipt is not expected immediately.

    Delivery Place

    If the Customer has chosen to pay for his order by credit card, he must, upon receipt of the Product from our partner carrier, show his identity document and the credit card with which he made the purchase.

    Delivery to the place specified by the Customer

    The product is delivered to an external partner – carrier and the Customer is informed electronically that the product is ready for shipment. Shipping costs are calculated based on the Customer’s order. Any incorrect entry by the Customer and therefore incorrect calculation of shipping costs is not the responsibility of the website ykmedica.gr, but of the Customer. It is noted that the Customer may choose to transport by his own means and expenses, however, in this case, the products are transported at his own risk. To receive the order, the Customer will show the external partner-carrier the order confirmation (order code) and the shipping notification, as well as an official identification document (such as a police ID card or passport). If the Customer wishes to authorize a third party to receive his order, then the third authorized person must show a special authorization to receive the specific order legally recognized by a KEP or police or other Authority as well as an official document necessary for checking identity (police ID, passport, etc.). Since after receiving the products, the risk passes to the Customer, the latter must check the products he receives upon receipt, as by his signature upon receipt he confirms that he correctly received the products of his order. If the Customer does not receive the product after receiving the notification to ship and despite the relevant notification from the carrier, the website ykmedica.gr reserves the right to withdraw from the sale.
