2. DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTIONS & SERVICES

 2.1. Marathos’ online store displays, promotes, repackages and resells the products of suppliers with whom it collaborates, as product ingredients or as final products. The term supplier is used as defined in L. 2251/1994 on consumer protection, as well as each producer/packer, importer/distributor, as defined in specific legislative provisions (hereinafter referred to as “suppliers” in short). The company reserves the right to select freely the products that it displays on its Website and to modify, update and/or withdraw these at any time and without prior notice. The same applies to its pricing policy; it may select and implement freely any deals and discounts, and it may modify, update and/or withdraw them at any time and without prior notice and/or subject to any deadline, as long as it informs the users as and where it is provided by the law.

 

2.2. In addition, Marathos’ website features recipes and food preparation recommendations based on the products sold on our website to which all users have access exclusively for domestic use. The Website content and recipes are intended exclusively for consumers who are above the age of eighteen (18). The result of the execution of these recipes cannot be guaranteed, even if all steps are followed according to the instructions given by us. The consumer is solely responsible for the result or any problem that may arise whilst preparing a recipe. In short, each recipe is provided “as is”. The additional information about each product must always be taken in serious consideration, whether it refers to storage, consumption, cooking, or any other possible use of such product, as well as to the properties of the devices and other tools used for the execution of the recipes.

 

2.3. Marathos’ website offers the user the opportunity to choose among the offered recipes, and then to purchase and receive in the appropriate quantity the specific ingredients, required for carrying out the recipe, which have been purchased on their behalf by our company from third-party suppliers. The company reserves the right to choose freely and at its discretion the recipes to be carried out, as well as the products included in them and shown on its Website, and to amend, renew and/or withdraw the recipes and products, as well as the suppliers from whom it purchases the products/foods, at any time and without prior notice. The above applies to the prices shown, the discount vouchers, as well as to any promotions it may select and freely carry out, as well as amend, renew and/or withdraw at any time, without prior notice and/or deadline compliance.

 

2.4. The company publishes and makes available to the users – so that they may choose among them – dish recipes which it has prepared with its cooperating chefs and dieticians, and then purchases the products – foods required for the implementation of the recipe, and proceeds, on behalf of the user, to the preparatory activities (washing, weighing, chopping, preparing, partially cooking, fully cooking, packaging) and their delivery to the user, so that they are ready to be cooked by them (in the cases of meal kits and ready to bake trays) or ready to be heated up by the client and served directly (in the case of cooked food). Marathos.com.gr does not produce the products required for the implementation of the recipes itself. Marathos purchases the raw ingredients and then prepares the meal kits, the ready to bake trays and cooked food, as well as the homemade broths, sauces and mixtures. Marathos.com.gr proceeds exclusively to purchasing and sending the foods required in the sufficient quantity depending on the number of portions selected by the user, in order for them to carry out the selected recipe, which is sent to the user along with the foods. Marathos.com.gr makes every effort possible in order to procure the most fresh and highest quality foods and products for the implementation of the recipe.

 

2.5. The fresh ingredients you receive has been purchased on the same day by our selected suppliers, in order to be kept fresh for as long as possible. We prepare the raw materials for you, e.g. we wash, peel and cut the vegetables, soak the pulses, marinate the meat etc. so that cooking becomes as simple and quick as possible for you. Then, the materials are divided into servings, placed in packages suitable for food and sent to you. Upon receipt of the ingredients that you have ordered, you will have to place them directly to the fridge (in case the foods or ingredients need to be preserved in the refrigerator) or maintain them in proper conditions, depending on the product, up to two days (for meat/vegetables/pulses and up to one day for chicken/fish)until you cook them (without prejudice to products which have to be immediately cooked). The Company cannot be held liable for the preservation/maintenance conditions of the foods/products by you. Along with the raw materials, you will also receive a card with detailed, step by step instructions and photographs, for the execution of each recipe. In the case of cooked food, you will also receive instruction of heating up the food, yet Marathos is not liable for variations in the power of various types of microwaves and ovens that each client uses.

 

2.6. As mentioned before, along with the products for the implementation of the recipe, the user receives precise and explanatory instructions in order to carry out the recipe. The content of the Website and the recipes are addressed only to consumers over eighteen (18) years old, who have the legal capacity and ability to read. In any case, it is noted that each recipe is given “as it is”. We cannot guarantee the outcome of the implementation of recipes, even if the user follows all the steps according to the instructions and photos, they have received from us. The user is solely responsible for the outcome or any problem that may arise during the implementation of a recipe. You should always heed the additional information for each product/food, whether it relates to the storage, consumption, cooking, heating up or any other possible use of a product/food and the properties of devices, as well as any other tools used to carry out the recipes.

 

2.7. On the Website, under each dish, we provide you with some basic dietary information regarding the dish, as well as a list of the package products / ingredients. The company provides this information, exclusively aiming at informing the user. It should be noted that the selection of recipes and products included in the packages we and our partners have created at our free selection and discretion, without having taken each user’s individual or special dietary needs or requirements, or any health problems (e.g. allergies, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar issues, nutritional needs, etc.) into account. Consequently, the company cannot be held liable for the suitability of the dish or the foods/products included in it, regarding each user’s health and any dietary or other needs.

22. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

22.1. 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.

22.2. According to Directive 2013/11/EC which has been integrated with the Common Ministerial Decision 70330/2015, provision is now also made for the electronic resolution of consumer disputes through the procedure of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in the entire European Union. If the customer has the capacity of consumer (i.e. a natural person acting outside their professional capacity) and has any issues regarding a purchase carried out through our Website, may initiate ADR proceedings through the single EU-wide platform for online dispute resolution (ODR platform), available at https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr/main/index.cfm?event=main.home.chooseLanguage

which offers consumers and suppliers the chance to submit any disputes, arising from purchases through internet, in a resolution process through internet.

The Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Institution, certified for this purpose is: the European Consumer Center (ECC GREECE) – Consumer Ombudsman, 144, Alexandras Ave. , 11 471, Athens, +30 2106460284 +30 2106460784 info@eccgreece.gr and url http://www.synigoroskatanaloti.gr/.

It is noted that an essential precondition for the consumer to refer to the procedure of Alternative Dispute Resolution is to have previously notified us of their problem at our Website at the e-mail address info@marathos.com.gr with the purpose of finding a solution. The ADR procedure is non-binding according to law, for the parts that may withdraw from it at any time. The consumer may contact the aforementioned ADR institution, in order to lead it throughout the entire procedure of submission and carrying out of their complaint.

For more information regarding the alternative dispute resolution, you may visit the website http://www.efpolis.gr/el/epanorthosi-askisi-dikaiomaton/79-exodikastiki-epilisi.html

23.1 The above Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede any and all preceding and current agreements between you and Marathos.com.gr. Any waiver of any provision of the Terms of Use will be effective only if in writing and signed by a Director of Marathos.

23.2. 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.

23.3 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.

24. Ethical Sourcing Policy

A reputable and trusted business, Marathos.com.gr 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

Marathos will never knowingly source products from suppliers 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 Marathos 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. Marathos cannot be held liable for any unethical behavior on the part of its suppliers.
