In case of acceptance, you will receive an order confirmation email, according to the above, which should include the details for the checkout through payment.

Depending on the legislation of each country outside the European Union, there may be restrictions on the sale of certain products or the sale of certain products may not be allowed at all. You will be notified by email in case of such a problem.

The user selects the representative webpage according to their country/place of residence (see countries), which determines the pricelist of our products, in agreement with our commercial policy and the respective shipping costs of that country.

21. Social media

The Website provides you with the option to interact with social media networks, i.e. Facebook “Like” buttons, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest and other. These features may enable access and/or signing in to your social media accounts. We do not control those social media services and your profiles on those services, and we cannot change your privacy settings on those services or establish rules about how your personal information on those services will be treated. Only you and the social media service providers may control those issues, not YOLENIS.COM. We recommend you read all policies and information on the respective social media services to learn more about their privacy policies before using any such features made available to you on our Website. We are not responsible for any acts or omissions by any social media service provider or your use of features included in their platform.

22. Waiver

22.1 To the extent permitted, we hereby exclude liability for any claims, losses, demands, or damages of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Website or the data featured on it, including, without limitation to, direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential losses, or damages, whether arising from the following indicative issues, loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of data, loss of use or otherwise, and whether or not the possibility of such loss has been notified to YOLENI'S. The foregoing will apply whether such claims, losses or damages arise in tort, contract, negligence, under statute or otherwise. However, when using our Services, your statutory rights are not affected. Always bear in mind that our site is provided “as is”. As a result, access to it is made at the entire risk of the visitor-user.

 

22.2. For the products or services that you find on our site, we cannot be held responsible for defects that are attributed to the producers. Our primary role is that of resale and we take every care, under the applicable laws governing our actions, to honour it. We cannot be held responsible for defaults beyond our control. If you breach these conditions and we take no further action, we will still be entitled to use our rights and remedies in any other similar situation.

23. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Greece and the European Union (EU). You agree, as we do, to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the city of Athens in Greece, Europe.

24. Entire Agreement

24.1 The above Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Policy  and the Yoleni' s Olive Tree Loyalty Programme  constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede any and all preceding and current agreements between you and YOLENIS.COM. Any waiver of any provision of the Terms of Use will be effective only if in writing and signed by a Director of YOLENI'S.

24.2. If any provision of the contract is held to be abusive or is void, this does not affect the other terms of the contract, which shall remain valid and binding to the parties.

24.3 Any delay in exercising some or all of the rights by the parties under these terms does not imply the weakening or waiver of this right, which may be exercised at any time at a later stage and in the beneficiary's reasonable discretion.

25. Ethical Sourcing Policy

A reputable and trusted business, YOLENIS.COM is committed to offering its customers high quality products, while feeling obliged to ensure that its suppliers are operating ethically. We expect our suppliers to consistently provide a safe and healthy environment for their employees to work in, respecting fundamental human rights. All suppliers should comply with their national employment laws and regulations especially as regards:

  • Minimum age of employment
  •  Freely chosen employment
  • Health and safety
  • Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining
  • Not discrimination
  • Not harsh or inhumane treatment
  • Working hours
  • Rates of pay
  • Terms of employment

YOLENI'S will never knowingly source products from countries not in compliance with the above principles. We also trust our suppliers encourage respect for these principles when dealing with their own supplier base, but we cannot guarantee that they indeed take any actions in this direction. Due to the complexity of some of our suppliers' supply chains, it is not always possible to monitor and control the conditions under which each individual participates in the production of our products. However, as YOLENI’S continues to grow, we recognize the importance of being proactive and doing everything within our power to protect the rights of those involved in the production of the goods we are offering. YOLENI’S cannot be held liable for any unethical behaviour on the part of its suppliers.

 


26. Promotional Activities


YOLENI'S can organize and participate in promotional actions, either its own or with other commercial schemes. It is not acceptable to combine promotions, with free shipping, or with each other.
