For the security of its Customers and the transactions made on the Website, MAISON FALIAKOS reserves the right to verify the data communicated by the Customer in order to ensure it is the holder of the bank account to be debited.

This verification may take the form of a request for proof of identity and/or address and/or banking documents (RIB or cancelled cheque).

Absence of response from the Customer to a request of this type within the timeframe given by MAISON FALIAKOS will entail cancellation of the order in question, without any possibility of later claim.

MAISON FALIAKOS also reserves the right to cancel any order that presents one or more risk factors for fraudulent use of bank card.

RIGHT OF CANCELLATION

You have the right to cancel without giving a reason within fourteen (14) days within Greece and (30) days within the EU  of receipt of your order, with the delivery date mentioned by the post office or carrier evidencing this.

If the order relates to several items and these items are delivered separately, the right of cancellation expires fourteen (14) days within Greece and (30) days within the EU after the day on which you, or a third party other than the carrier and designated by you, physically take possession of the last product.

To exercise your right of cancellation, you must notify your cancellation decision by means of an unambiguous declaration stating your wish to cancel sent to MAISON FALIAKOS (for instance by email: info@faliakos.com or by logging to your account).

You can also use the template form attached, although this is not mandatory.

For the cancellation period to be respected, you simply need to send your communication relative to the exercise of the right of cancellation before expiry of the cancellation period.

If your order comprises several items and you only wish to return some of them, you must mention the items you wish to return and for which you wish to be refunded.

The item(s) must be returned new, unused, and in their original packaging, perfectly intact, to the address communicated to you by MAISON FALIAKOS.

You must return the items or give them to MAISON FALIAKOS without excessive delay, and in any event no later than fourteen (14) days after your notification of implementation of your right of cancellation.

This period is deemed respected if you return the items in question before expiry of the period of fourteen (14) days within Greece and (30) days within the EU.

By logging to your account you may request from Customer services to send you a prepaid label to affix to the parcel to be returned.

The costs of the first return shall be paid by MAISON FALIAKOS.

If you use another method of return, the costs will then be your responsibility.

You will be refunded for the sums paid for the items in question without excessive delay, and no later than fourteen (14) days from the day on which MAISON FALIAKOS is informed of your decision to cancel.

The refund may however be postponed until MAISON FALIAKOS has received the items in question, or until you have provided evidence of shipping of the said items, with the date upheld being that of the first of these facts.

MAISON FALIAKOS will refund you through the same payment method as that used for the initial transaction.

You will only be held liable for damage to the product resulting from handling other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and good working order of this product.

For health and safety reasons, MAISON FALIAKOS cannot accept the return of sealed products which have been unsealed by the Customer.
