Deliveries are made on working days and hours, from Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 19:00.

In case you have not paid for the order and do not come within the above period of 3 days, your order will be cancelled.
3.3. Payment Methods: Moving to the Payment section, you are first asked to declare whether you wish for an invoice to be issued or not. It is noted that when you choose to issue an invoice, you are acting as a "supplier" (any natural or legal person, regardless of whether they are governed by private or public law, who acts even through any other person acting in their name or on their behalf, for purposes related to their commercial, business, craft, or professional activities), and not as a consumer (any natural person who acts for reasons that do not fall within their commercial, business, craft, or freelance professional activity). The significance lies in the fact that if you act as a supplier, you do not have the legal rights provided for consumers, such as, for example, the right of unjustified and cost-free withdrawal of 14 days that applies to distance contracts, while still having all the rights provided by law as a buyer. If you purchase as a consumer, then the corresponding retail receipt will be issued by us.
Then, you choose a payment method, either via Viva.com, which also includes the option of payment via IRIS, or via Klarna, or via Apple Pay, or by bank deposit, or by cash on delivery [Cash on Delivery - COD]. If you have chosen store pickup, then the "Pay at store" option will also appear. Specifically, the following payment methods are offered:
· Up to 12 interest-free installments for an amount from 100 to 200 euros and up to 48 interest-free installments for an amount from €200 and above with a credit card, via Viva. Applies to Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Diners – Discover cards.
· Up to 3 interest-free installments with Klarna
· Via IRIS through Viva
· With Apple Pay
· With Bank deposit
· With cash on delivery (COD), under conditions (see below).
Also, if you pay at a store, the following payment methods are additionally available: via Apple Pay, via the Trade & Upgrade program, and with an Installment Program without a credit card.
Notes regarding payment via Viva:
You have the option to either be charged the full amount of the transaction or to have it charged in equal monthly interest-free installments. In the case of interest-free installments, the total purchase amount is reserved from the beginning on your card, with the result that you are not allowed to proceed with subsequent purchases in case there is not a sufficient available balance. Each month, the amount corresponding to each installment is charged until the total is paid off. Interest-free installments are supported only on credit cards, and specifically, viva.com accepts those issued by Greek banks. Also, in case of a return of a transaction that had been charged in installments, please note that the amount will remain reserved even when we reverse the transaction. This means that each month you will see a charge of the installment amount and a corresponding credit of the same amount until the end of the installment period, at which point the release will be completed. In addition, we inform you that generally, the credit of an amount resulting from a transaction reversal requires some time to complete. Specifically:
· If the card is Mastercard or Diners/Discover, then the credit amount appears after 1 to 2 working days depending on the card-issuing bank.
· If the card is VISA, then the credit amount appears immediately, provided the card type (e.g., Business, Personal, etc.) and the issuing bank participate in the program for immediate credit (VISA Direct). Otherwise, the amount is credited in 1 to 2 working days.
Notes regarding payment via Klarna:
You additionally have the option to pay via Klarna {Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden, registration no.: 556737-0431}, the provider for Buy-Now, Pay-Later (BNPL) services with whom we cooperate (hereinafter, "Klarna"). A necessary condition for using this payment method is to enter into an agreement with them. In this way, you can pay off your purchases in three interest-free installments - 3 installments, 0% interest-, using a valid card issued in your favor (debit or credit -Visa / Mastercard-, prepaid cards, Maestro, and AMEX are excluded). The Klarna service is provided only for purchases over €35 and up to €1500 per transaction. The specific terms of this service apply, available here. The Klarna option will appear during checkout, so if you choose it, you will be redirected to the Klarna environment when submitting your order. All you need to do is add the details of the credit or debit card you want to use for automatic payments. It is noted that there is no possibility to choose a smaller or larger number of installments, only the option of either three installments or a one-time payment of the entire amount.
If you do not already have a Klarna account, you will be asked to create one during the payment process. To pay via Klarna, you must:
a) follow the steps and instructions required by Klarna during your registration (including filling in the necessary identification details)
(b) accept the relevant terms and conditions that constitute your contract with Klarna (including the terms of payment and settlement of your relevant obligations to Klarna), available here.
(c) enter your card details that will be used for settling your payments.
To use Klarna, you must:
Reside in Greece
Be at least 18 years old
Have a valid bank card
Have a positive credit history
Be able to receive verification codes via message
If your order meets the requirements for "Pay in 3 installments," you can make the choice during payment and split the cost of your purchase into three interest-free payments. When you choose payment via Klarna, you distribute the cost of your purchase into 3 interest-free installments, where the first payment is made upon submission of the order and the settlement of the next two equal payments takes place by automatic charging of the card you have used every 30 days (i.e., at 30 and 60 days respectively from the date of the initial payment). You will be informed before the automatic charges are made by Klarna via e-mail or through the Klarna app. When you use Klarna to split your purchase into 3 interest-free payments, Klarna performs a simple (soft) credit check. This will not affect your credit score; it simply helps Klarna confirm that you pay your debts on time.
If we are informed by Klarna that there is a problem with your card details, we reserve the right to reject the order or withdraw from the sale at any time. You are solely responsible for the correct entry of card details.
Also, we inform you that Klarna can be a payment method in the case of professionals-natural persons, who can purchase certain products with VAT exemption.
Generally, Klarna can be used for purchases of all products available on our e-shop.
In case of return or cancellation of your order, you will receive your refund within 3 working days. Depending on your bank, it may take up to 14 days for the money to appear in your account. Specifically, the refund process differs depending on the payment method you had chosen when you made the purchase, for example:
Immediate payments – the amount will be returned to the account used to make the purchases
Invoices – the amount will be returned once the invoice is cancelled, if you have paid via the Klarna app or via klarna.com
Partial payments – the amount will be deducted from your total debt or Klarna will contact you for your bank details.
For more information regarding order returns, please refer to the Klarna returns guide: https://www.klarna.com/gr/odigies-epistrofis/
We manage your order like any other order placed on our website. If you choose to pay later via Klarna, Klarna pays us the full amount when you place the order. Then, you pay Klarna later according to the payment schedule you have chosen. The total amount of credits resulting from your transactions with istorm.gr, including all rights, guarantees, and obligations related to it, is assigned by us to Klarna upon completion of the payment. Therefore, you hereby acknowledge that payments will be made to Klarna, in accordance with the terms that have been communicated to you by it and which you have accepted during your registration and the making of your payment. istorm.gr bears no responsibility regarding Klarna's claims against you and expressly disclaims any liability arising from the relationship between Klarna and you as a buyer/customer.

Notes regarding payment with Apple Pay / Google Pay:

compatible with Apple Pay, contact your card issuer. To use a payment method other than your default card, select "Other cards and Installment options" or "Change payment method." If you are in another compatible browser other than Safari, then a code will appear on the website and you will need to use the camera of your iPhone or iPad to scan the code on the browser's website.

Apple Pay will be available as a payment method if your device runs on iOS.

Notes regarding payment by bank deposit:
The order is processed after the deposited full amount appears in one of the available accounts held by our COMPANY, at your choice. If the transfer is made from another bank, it usually takes 2-3 working days for the payment to appear, while if the transfer is made from the same bank, the payment appears the next working day. In case the deposit is not made within 7 working days from the day of your order, the order will be completely cancelled. Please do not forget to write the order number to which the deposit relates as the reason on the deposit slip. In case you omit this element so that it is possible to link the specific order with its payment, the COMPANY bears no responsibility for any delay or cancellation that may arise due to this omission. It is understood that you are charged with any bank fees related to bank transfers, as you are required to deposit the entire total price of your order.
Notes regarding payment by cash on delivery (COD – Cash On Delivery):
Payment of the order via cash on delivery is made only in cash -depending on the amount see next paragraph- to the courier company employee, upon delivery of the order products. Therefore, this payment method concerns only orders for which you have requested to be sent by courier. The cash on delivery service is provided free of charge.
Also, we inform you that by law, tax documents with a total value of five hundred (500) euros and above, issued for the sale of goods or provision of services to individuals, are paid by their recipients, buyers of the goods or services, exclusively using card payment means or other electronic payment means, such as, indicatively but not limited to, bank transfer, payment via payment account, use of an electronic wallet. Payment of these documents in cash is not allowed. Therefore, for orders with a total value of five hundred (500) euros and above, payment in cash is not allowed, so the option of cash on delivery as a payment method is excluded in such cases.
Notes regarding payment in physical stores:
Beyond the payment methods already mentioned, you have the ability to choose between more payment methods when you choose to pay in a physical store. Specifically, the following payment methods are additionally available:
Apple Pay
Trade & Upgrade
Installment Program without a credit card (INSTALLMENTS and... you've got it!)
Specifically:
Ø for contactless transactions in the physical store you can use Apple Pay through the Apple Wallet app from your mobile device by double-clicking the side button and after completing the authentication, you pass the device over the POS, at which point the transaction is completed. For more information regarding Apple Pay, see here: https://www.apple.com/apple-pay/
Ø With the Trade & Upgrade program, you can bring your device to us so that we can estimate its value and then you can exchange your old device for a new one, from the cost of which the amount resulting from the estimate will be deducted. You can also make an initial estimate of the value of the device you have in your possession yourself through the page pricing-v2.pandas.io/el-GR/istorm, so that you receive an estimate of the amount of the iStorm voucher you are entitled to, which is valid only for iPhone models for in-store purchases.

Please be informed that in any case, you grant us full authorization to perform a complete wipe and reset of the device if you have not deleted the data prior to selling the device to us. It is understood that you responsibly declare that you are the legal owner of the device you are trading in, that it came into your possession legally, and that said device is not the product of theft, embezzlement, fencing, or the disposal of proceeds of crime, robbery, or any other criminal offense or illegal act. You also declare that by accepting the proposed voucher value offered to you, you are surrendering the possession of the device and transferring it fully in terms of ownership, possession, and custody to the COMPANY, unconditionally and without any other requirement, in exchange for the voucher amount.

3.4. Order completion and submission: Having selected the payment method, you are asked to confirm the billing details, stating whether the billing address is the same as the shipping address (otherwise, you must enter the different billing address). You are then asked to accept these terms, as well as to declare that you have been informed of the COMPANY's privacy policy and, if you wish, to submit an order for the purchase of products/services by clicking the button "Complete order & pay". Acknowledging at the same time the obligation to pay on your part upon submission.
In this way you submit a proposal to the COMPANY for the conclusion of a purchase contract for the products/services you have selected.
3.5. Once your order process is completed, you are directed to the successful completion page and receive an automated message, which is sent to the email address you have provided to us. It is explicitly emphasized that the message confirming receipt of the order by the COMPANY does not constitute acceptance of your order, nor acceptance of the proposal to conclude a contract with the COMPANY. On the contrary, the order is received by the COMPANY subject to a check of availability and price accuracy for each ordered product.
3.6. Price check: The COMPANY takes every necessary measure for the correct listing of prices on the offered products. However, it is possible that due to a technical error, there may be a price error, and therefore, in this case, you will be informed accordingly. We ask that in the event you believe there is an obvious error in a product price (e.g., when there is a large deviation from the original price), you inform us accordingly and refrain from purchasing it. We draw your attention even in cases where you reasonably expect there to be particularly low prices (e.g., sales period, Black Friday, etc.). The listed prices include VAT, but do not include additional required shipping charges, etc., nor withholdings or any deductions provided for organizations, Authorities, entities, etc., nor expenses or charges required in case of payment of the price to a bank (e.g., commission of the customer's bank and/or the Company) or other charges due to a bank transaction which are borne by the customer and which cannot be calculated in advance, as they are determined by the respective pricing policy of the banks.
3.7. Any product offers appearing in the online store or made available through contests conducted by the COMPANY from time to time are always valid until stocks are exhausted, at which point a strict chronological priority order is maintained in the execution of orders.
4. Conclusion of contract
4.1. Furthermore, you will receive an email, depending on the results of the availability and price check, and provided that your order can be executed, informing you about the shipping or pickup of your order, depending on the method you have chosen to receive it. The sending of the aforementioned email constitutes the acceptance by the COMPANY of the proposal submitted by you for the conclusion of a contract, and therefore the contract between the buyer and the COMPANY is concluded only once the COMPANY sends said message.
4.2. It is clarified that the delivery time of products to the courier company or the time required for the product to be available for pickup from our store may vary depending on product availability and the suppliers' commitment regarding delivery time. Therefore, we inform you that any delay on the part of the manufacturers/suppliers in making a product available to us will result in a corresponding delay in the delivery and shipping time of the product by us. Delivery times are also subject to delays due to delays by courier companies or force majeure, which is outside our sphere of influence and is not our responsibility.
4.3. Order cancellation: By way of exception, the following applies to products:
a) In the event that ordering the product is possible, but at a different delivery time or a different price, you are entitled to either 1) unilaterally cancel the order with a written statement via the contact form, or 2) choose to have the order executed for the remaining products in case the unavailability concerns only part of the products ordered in an order, or 3) choose to have the COMPANY place the order with the manufacturer, in which case you must prepay the price in full.
b) In the event that ordering is not possible and the product is not available from the manufacturer, you will be informed via email about the cancellation of the order by us with the release of the reserved amount. It is understood that in case of cancellation, the part of the order concerning a service that was ordered due to its inextricable connection with the unavailable product will also be cancelled simultaneously.
4.4. Information on the progress of your order: It is emphasized that any update sent to the email address or other contact information you have provided when creating an account or making purchases in the eshop will be considered valid even if it is not delivered to you due to an error in the details you entered and/or due to a failure in your server, and/or your phone, and/or your telecommunications provider, and/or due to failure to timely notify the COMPANY of a change in your details. In the event that the contractual or legal obligations of the COMPANY are not fulfilled in a timely and proper manner due to the use of false, incorrect, or outdated personal details provided by you, the COMPANY bears no responsibility. Furthermore, you bear full and exclusive responsibility for any damage or harm caused to the COMPANY due to false, incorrect, or outdated details provided by you.
5. Withdrawal
5.1. If you are a natural person (consumer) and your purchase is intended for personal use and not for serving your individual business activity, you are entitled by law to withdraw from the purchase contract via the online store (distance contract), without giving any explanation, subject to the terms of term 5.2 below, by declaring it to the COMPANY within 14 days from the time you (or a third party indicated by you, other than the carrier) acquired physical possession of the goods. In the case of multiple goods ordered by you in one order and delivered separately, the withdrawal period expires 14 calendar days from the day on which you or a third party indicated by you, other than the carrier, acquires physical possession of the last good. In the case of a service contract, you are entitled to withdraw within 14 days from the date of conclusion of the contract. By submitting the order for the provision of services, you explicitly consent to the possibility of starting the provision of services and being charged within the withdrawal period.
Withdrawal Form
In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, it is sufficient to fill out the relevant electronic "Withdrawal Declaration" form by clicking here.
The withdrawal declaration can be submitted electronically via the above form. Alternatively, you can fill out the Withdrawal Declaration Template and send it either via email to customercare@istorm.gr or by registered letter to our Company.
Subsequently, we will forward to you without delay on a durable medium (email) a confirmation of receipt of your withdrawal declaration and then we will communicate the instructions for the steps you should follow.
5.2. For the exercise of withdrawal to be legal, you must return the product no later than 14 days from the notification of the exercise of withdrawal. You will bear the direct cost of returning the goods, as well as any reduction in the value of the goods. The cost depends on the price list of the respective courier company you choose. You bear the risk of delivery of the product until its delivery to us. Alternatively, you can always bring the
returned product yourself to one of our physical istorm stores.
For a return to be accepted, the Product must (cumulatively):
– be in the condition it was received,
– have its original packaging intact, or if its original packaging has been opened, it must be intact, without damage or tears, and returned together with the Product,
– be complete,
– carry all documents that accompanied the product (original purchase receipts and any other accompanying document or item, e.g., labels, tags, warranty form, user instructions, etc.),
– carry all accessories and additional benefits (gifts) that accompanied its sale,
– not fall under the products that are excluded.
Specifically, returns of software packages whose sealing wrapper has been opened are not accepted. Similarly, returns of memory whose wrapper has been opened are not accepted. Also, there is no possibility of returning products produced upon special order by the customer ("build-to-order" - manufactured according to consumer specifications or clearly personalized). Also excluded from withdrawal are products that are not suitable for return for health protection or hygiene reasons if they have been unsealed or can be altered (e.g., headphones, hands-free, etc.).
Furthermore, you cannot withdraw in the case of service contracts after the full provision of the service, but if the contract provides for the consumer's obligation to pay a price, only if the execution began with the prior express consent of the consumer and with their acknowledgment that they will lose their right of withdrawal once the contract has been fully executed by the supplier, as well as in the case of contracts for the supply of digital content not provided on a tangible medium.
In case of doubt as to whether a product falls under the exceptions, please contact the Customer Service Department before unsealing or using the product.
5.3. Consequences of withdrawal: If you withdraw legally, the COMPANY will refund all money received from you, without undue delay. The COMPANY is entitled to delay the refund until it receives the Products back or until you provide us with proof that you have sent the goods back, whichever occurs first. In any case, the money to be refunded will correspond to the part of the order for which the withdrawal took place. You explicitly agree that the COMPANY will refund the money to the medium with which you have paid. In the case that you have paid by card, we issue the order to the card provider/issuer when the product is returned to us. The credit to your account depends on the procedures of the payment provider and/or the card issuer, and we are not responsible for any delays not due to our own fault.
In case a refund via bank deposit is required, you must provide accurate details (especially IBAN and beneficiary). The Company is released from the obligation of refund if it pays the amount to the details you declared.
5.4. Reduction of product value: You are responsible for any reduction in the value of the goods resulting from handling that was not necessary to determine the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the goods, as you must handle each product in the way you would handle and examine it in a physical store (e.g., activation/installation/configuration of a product that exceeds reasonable functional testing, especially when a situation is created that makes the product difficult to market as "new" or obvious wear, scratches, bumps, alterations, or signs of use). In case of opening the packaging or activating the products, their value automatically decreases as the product is characterized as "used," and you are responsible for compensating the Company. Every assessment of value reduction will be done on a case-by-case basis, based on the condition of the returned product and the actual marketability data, and is determined by the Company. In any case of value depreciation, you will be informed of the withholding before the credit and refund process is completed and you will be informed in detail of the calculation of the refunded amount. The COMPANY has the right to claim any demand arising from the reduction of the value of the products, as well as any amount it was damaged by, against the customer-consumer in any legal way.
5.5. Liability from the sale: The COMPANY bears the responsibility for fulfilling the sale as stated in the Civil Code as well as those specifically defined in this contract and in the law on distance contracts and consumer protection. It is not liable in the event that you are entitled to a refund of part or all of the price for any delay by the cooperating payment service providers in executing the relevant order that the COMPANY has given in a timely manner. You have all the rights provided by law. The manufacturer's warranty terms also apply.
5.6. Technical support: Also, we inform you that for technical service after the sale, you can contact any of the authorized service centers. If you have purchased an Apple product and the first 90 days have not passed or you have a three-year coverage extension (Apple Protection Plan), then contact the Apple customer service call center at Phone 00800-44145417 in the Greek language.
5.7. DOA (Dead-on-Arrival): In the event that a product is defective upon delivery (DOA), its return is made based on the DOA policy applicable to each manufacturer, without shipping costs. Some manufacturers do not provide a DOA policy. For more information regarding the warranty provider, contact details for the provider, the DOA return policy, and the duration of the DOA policy, contact each manufacturer directly. Please note that the product must not have undergone improper use as defined in the warranty and must not bear signs (bumps, scratches, broken parts, as well as other obvious signs of use), must be complete with all accessories and documents and in the delivery packaging, while the device's serial number (IMEI) must match that of the box and the purchase receipt.
5.8. In the event that the product you received is different from what you ordered, you can return it within five (5) calendar days from its purchase, without shipping costs, to the Company's address.
6. GENERAL
If any of the above terms were to be considered unenforceable, it will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms.
Any delay in the exercise by the COMPANY of part or all of the rights deriving from these terms does not result in the weakening or waiver of said right, which may be exercised at any time at a later stage and at its reasonable discretion.
These terms represent the entire agreement between each user and the COMPANY and govern the access and use of the Website by users. These terms supersede any other written agreement between each user and the COMPANY in relation to the use of the Website.
These terms are governed by and interpreted in accordance with current Greek and Community legislation, and the courts of Athens are designated as exclusively competent for the resolution of any dispute.

Indicatively, competent ADR bodies are the Consumer Ombudsman https://www.synigoroskatanaloti.gr/el, as well as other certified bodies included in the current Register of ADR Bodies of the Ministry of Development.
