Order Cancellation

The customer’s cancellation of his order due to repentance is accepted only if the item has not yet been invoiced and sent for shipment by the COMPANY. The cancellation is done by sending an electronic message (e-mail) to the COMPANY on behalf of the customer. The customer must state the exact details of his order. The cancellation does not occur unless a relevant confirmation is sent by the COMPANY via electronic mail to the customer.

In the event that the customer has paid the value of his approved order prior to his declaration of cancellation and the COMPANY has already collected it, then the COMPANY must within a period of fourteen (14) calendar days return the received value to the customer with the same way he expedited its payment (by offsetting the amount to a bank account, by paying cash, etc.). Otherwise, in the event that a payment order has been given by the customer but the money has not been collected by the COMPANY (such as in the case of a credit card charge order when the Bank has not yet paid the price to the COMPANY), then the COMPANY is obliged within of the deadline of fourteen (14) working days to speed up any necessary action and declaration to each competent body (Bank, etc.) for the notification of the cancellation of the order and the obligation to return any amount charged to the customer. In this case, the COMPANY is considered to have legally fulfilled its obligations, and the cancellation of any charge will be based on the terms of the contract that connects the customer with this third party (Bank, etc.) and the COMPANY bears no responsibility regarding the time of return or offsetting of each relevant charge.
