Shipping costs are determined by your choices as selected during product selection and the order completion process.

11. Returns

The current legislation of the General Directorate of Consumer Protection of Greece and the European Union applies. Currently, LAW 2251/1994 (Government Gazette 191A’) is in force, as it was codified by Ministerial Decision No. 5338B – 17/01/2018 (Government Gazette 40B’). The recipient of the products has the right to return products within 14 days of receipt. Within 14 days, recipients must notify the Company of their intentions in writing or by email: cinnabar2019@gmail.com. The recipient must then return the product in its packaging. It is not necessary to justify the wish to return a product.

The amount paid will be refunded within 10 days of receipt of the returned product by the Company, which will neither withhold nor retain any bank expenses for the relevant transactions. Shipping costs paid for delivery of the product to the recipient are non-refundable. The return service of the product is of the recipient’s choice and the recipient is charged with the return shipping costs.

In order to return the amount paid for the product upon its return to the Company, the Company must confirm that the product has been returned unopened and sealed inside its original packaging. This restriction applies because the main value of the product is artistic and this measure prevents the possibility of the artwork being copied or reproduced by technical means and then returned. The return can also be made in person at the headquarters of the Company following communication with the Company via the contact details provided below in order to arrange for an appropriate day and time for the return.

12. Sale Prices

Sale prices are the final retail prices. Consequently, the prices include the Greek VAT (24%) because at the present time an exemption from governing regulations applies in cases where the value of transactions falls below the limits set by Law no. 2859/2000 where VAT is applicable. In other cases, where VAT is not applicable, the same price is considered as including customs costs and any taxes of third countries for reasons of procedural simplification. If you are  a professional based in a country of the European Union (outside Greece) who wishes to operate in that capacity, please do not follow the automatic payment process but rather contact the Company so that an appropriate invoice with the reverse VAT charge can be issued at the appropriate amount.
