Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
These terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Greece and the European Union (EU). Like us, you agree that you are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Athens in Greece.
Waiver
The contracting parties shall not be deemed to have been released from or waived their rights, powers or obligations hereunder merely by the implementation of practices on their part contrary to the terms hereof or due to omission or negligence by them in exercising any rights in accordance with this Agreement or failure to insist on full compliance by the counterparty with the obligations herein. Even prolonged forbearance of breaches of this Agreement by the counterparty shall not under any circumstances indicate or constitute a presumption of waiver of those rights or a forfeiture thereof.
Entire agreement
- These Terms and Conditions are binding on all parties (the company and users) and constitute the whole agreement of the parties and take precedence over any and all previous and current contracts between you and the Company.
- Where any term of the agreement is found to be abusive or is annulled, it shall not affect the other terms of the agreement which continue to apply and shall be binding on the parties.
- Any delay in the exercise by the parties of all or part of the rights deriving from these terms shall not entail forfeiture or waiver of the said right which may be exercised at any time at a later stage at the reasonable discretion of the rightholder.
