  5. Warranties/after-sales service

    Your product is broken or faulty

    In addition to the manufacturer’s warranty that may apply to certain products, Decathlon is bound by the statutory conformity and latent defect warranties for all products sold on its website, as prescribed by law. Subject to more favourable mandatory public policy provisions applicable to consumers due to their place of residence, these warranties shall apply for a period of two years from the date of purchase (for the conformity warranty) or from the discovery of the defect (for the latent defects warranty).

    Some of the products sold on the website may be covered by a manufacturer’s warranty, for the period stated on the relevant product page.

    However, the manufacturer’s warranty does not apply to any problems caused by your negligence, damage by you or your improper use of the product. We wish to draw your attention to the fact that some defects and faults can only result from an improper installation or handling of the equipment after delivery. Accordingly, please follow the instructions contained in the explanatory leaflets for the products, where applicable, and the troubleshooting guides available online. We also recommended that you carry out several tests of the equipment received.

    Product repairs during the warranty period

    If your product develops a defect during the period of validity of the statutory or manufacturer’s warranty or if it does not conform to the order, you should contact our after-sales service by sending a request on our Help Center.

    Under the warranty, Decathlon asks Users to return their products. Return shipping costs will be covered by Decathlοn only in case, if Decathlon is accountable for any damage, loss or defect occasioned in the order.

    After Decathlon has processed the product, meaning after it has checked, in particular, that the product is covered by a statutory or manufacturer’s warranty, the product will be repaired or replaced.

    If the cause of the problem is covered by the statutory or manufacturer’s warranty but the product cannot be repaired or replaced by an identical or equivalent product, a credit note or a refund will be issued for the relevant product. In each case, Decathlon will propose the most suitable solution (replacement of the defective part, replacement of the item or refund).

    In the event of an abnormal or abusive return or if the User has failed to read and follow the instructions contained in the troubleshooting guides available online, the product return will be treated as a defective return with the following consequences: return of the product to you with no refund or replacement. Likewise, all products returned without a product return number will be automatically treated as a defective return (and in such a case, Decathlon will bill the relevant delivery charges).

    Users are reminded that they are free to choose how they wish to return the product and whether or not to take out insurance covering the loss, theft or destruction of their parcel. Decathlon will not cover any of these costs and will not be liable if a User’s parcel goes missing. Also, Users are responsible for the way in which they pack their product and must ensure that there is no risk of the product breaking or being damaged in transit.

  6. Reservation of title

    Full title to the items purchased by the User shall not pass from Decathlon to the User until the User has fulfilled all of his/her obligations and, in particular, until he/she has paid the price in full, plus any interest that may be payable.

  7. Entire agreement

    These General Terms are composed of all of the clauses set out herein. If Decathlon website fails to enforce performance of any one of the clauses hereof at any time whatsoever, this shall not be treated as a waiver of its right to enforce performance thereof at any time thereafter. If one of the said clauses is invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the other clauses.

  8. Liability

    To the extent permitted by law, Decathlon is only liable for direct damage sustained by a User as a direct result of a failure to perform its contractual obligations or a breach of a law.

    To the extent permitted by law and subject to more favourable mandatory public policy provisions applicable to consumers due to their place of residence, Decathlon website’s liability is hereby limited to the amount paid by the User for the order implicating Decathlon website’s liability.

  9. Applicable law/disputes

    9.1 Applicable law

    These General Terms are governed by Greek law, with the exception of private international law provisions. If a court ruling on a dispute holds, under mandatory rules, that French law does not apply, the relationship between the Parties shall be governed by the laws of the country of delivery.

    In all cases, if any mandatory public policy rules of the consumer’s place of residence are more favourable than the provisions of Greek law, these shall apply to the relationship between the Parties.

    9.2 Jurisdiction

    The Parties expressly agree that the Vienna Convention on contracts for the international sale of goods shall not apply to their relationship.

    Any dispute shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the court of the defendant’s place of residence. However, if the action is instigated by you, you may refer the matter to the court of your place of residence instead.

    In accordance with Directive 2013/11/EC, which was incorporated in Greece by means of Directive 70330/2015, the possibility of electronic resolution of consumer disputes through the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) procedure is now provided for throughout the European Union. If the customer has the status of a consumer (i.e. a natural person acting outside his/her professional capacity) and has any problem with a purchase made from our Website, he/she can initiate the ADR procedure through the single pan-European platform for electronic dispute resolution (EDR platform) available at https://webgate.ec.europa.eu.

  10. Security

    The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol is currently the global standard on the Internet for authenticating websites to web users and for encrypting data between web users and web servers. An encrypted SSL communication requires all information sent between a client and a server to be encrypted by the sending software and decrypted by the receiving software, thus protecting personal information in transit. In addition, all information sent using the SSL protocol is protected by a mechanism that automatically verifies whether the data has been changed in transit. The SSL certificate for www.decathlon.com.gr is issued by the certification company DNHOST and the key size is 2048-bit.
