GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
1. Contract
These general terms and conditions shall govern all business transactions between the parties unless otherwise agreed in writing. The placing of an order implies that the buyer has irrevocably accepted these present terms and conditions.
2. Order and confirmation
Orders made to Sandra SA (hereinafter in these terms referred to as "SANDRA") and/or to any authorized representative shall be confirmed by e-mail, unless there are reasonable grounds for non-confirmation. Any agreement shall only be binding when SANDRA sends an order confirmation after receipt of the buyer's order. The order confirmation shall be binding for the buyer, unless he/she raises any objections in writing within the day following the date on which the order confirmation was received. Therefore, SANDRA shall not be held liable for any errors in the order confirmation. In case the buyer cancels the order, he/she will be automatically charged with a cancellation fee of thirty percent (30%) on the amount of the order.

Delivery shall be made from SANDRA's logistics warehouse in Greece, and risk for the products shall pass to the buyer at time of delivery to the carrier, even if carrier is arranged and/or selected by SANDRA. Partial delivery of an order is allowed at the discretion of SANDRA and in this case goods of the order may be invoiced either partially or wholly. Title to the goods shall pass to the buyer only after full and unconditional payment of price, taxes, levies, expenses, including any interest and any costs as well as any other amount payable to SANDRA.

Prices for goods already ordered may only be amended by SANDRA with a ten (10) days written notification to the buyer, if there is an amendment in purchase prices, exchange rates, carriage, duties, taxes, levies or other relevant burdens.

5. Delay in delivery
If a fixed time of delivery has been agreed in writing and there is a delay in delivery of more than thirty (30) working days due to SANDRA's liability, which causes material inconvenience to the buyer, then the buyer shall be entitled to submit a written request for delivery within a new reasonable time period, which shall not be less than thirty (30) working days. If SANDRA fails to deliver within the second delivery time period, then the buyer shall have the right to cancel the whole order within three (3) days from the end of the second delivery time period. SANDRA's liability, if any, for any delay, shall always be limited to the amount of the total value of the goods delivered with delay. For the purposes of calculating the above time periods, any days of delay attributable to force majeure shall be excluded.
6. Liability for defects
Immediately upon delivery of any goods, the buyer shall examine the goods properly and thoroughly, and shall submit to SANDRA in writing not later than fourteen (14) days after delivery date and complaints regarding material defects of the goods or lack of any agreed characteristic. In this case SANDRA shall assess the significance of the complaint and shall, at its discretion, either deliver to the buyer an equivalent similar new product within a reasonable deadline or credit the amount of the reported goods to the buyer for future orders to be made by the buyer within the next two (2) months, and SANDRA's liability for these goods is limited only to either of the above (e.g. delivery of the equivalent or credit of goods value amount for future orders). The buyer shall have no right to return any goods to SANDRA, unless there is an express prior written consent by SANDRA and value of goods returned cannot be credited to the buyer. If no complaint is submitted within the above 14-day period, then the buyer shall have no rights against SANDRA regarding any goods. If the buyer submits a complaint for a defect or lack of a characteristic, which is not material or is not attributable to SANDRA's liability, then the buyer shall reimburse any costs, e.g. lawyers' fees, incurred by SANDRA in this respect.
7. Limitation of liability
SANDRA's liability regarding any goods shall only be limited in any case and for any reason whatsoever to the value of the goods in question, as this value is calculated in the relevant invoice. Any advice claimed to have been provided by SANDRA regarding the goods or their purchase shall be deemed to be for guidance only, and SANDRA shall assume no liability in this respect. SANDRA cannot be held liable and assumes no responsibility for the suitability of any goods for any specific purpose or for the compatibility of any goods or their labelling or packaging or any other element regarding any goods to any laws or regulations applicable in any territory of the buyer or in any other territory, in which the buyer intends to forward the goods for any reason, or for any errors and/or omissions in any catalogue, brochure or other printed material or for any misinterpretation of any information. The buyer shall be solely responsible for ensuring that all laws and/or regulations applicable from time to time will be followed regarding the goods, as well as their labelling and packaging or indications to appear on the goods or any other issue regarding the goods. In no event shall SANDRA be liable for operating loss, loss of profit or any other indirect or future loss or negative damages for any reason whatsoever.
