Returns, Refunds & Withdrawal Policy
Last updated: 18 August 2026
At Aristidou, we want every order to arrive correctly and correspond to the products you selected.
This Returns, Refunds & Withdrawal Policy explains what happens if you change your mind about an online purchase, receive the wrong or a damaged product, or receive goods that are faulty or do not conform to your order.
This Policy applies in accordance with applicable Greek and European consumer protection law.
1. Right of Withdrawal for Online Purchases
If you are a consumer making a distance purchase through the aristidou.gr online store, you generally have the right to withdraw from the contract without giving a reason within 14 calendar days.
For goods, the withdrawal period generally begins on the day on which you, or a third party designated by you other than the carrier, acquire physical possession of the goods.
Where an order contains several goods delivered separately, the relevant period is calculated in accordance with applicable law.
2. How to Exercise Your Right of Withdrawal
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us before the 14-day period expires through an unequivocal statement confirming that you wish to withdraw from the purchase.
You may contact us at:
Email: aristidouprint@gmail.com
Telephone: +302610270010
We recommend including:
- your full name
- order number
- product or products you wish to return
- date of delivery
- your contact details
You do not need to provide a reason when validly exercising your statutory right of withdrawal.
3. Returning the Goods
Following your notice of withdrawal, the goods must be returned or handed back without undue delay and within the period required by applicable law.
We recommend contacting us before sending a return so that we can provide the appropriate return instructions.
Returns may be sent to:
Aristidou
158 Korinthou Street
Patras 26223
Greece
4. Condition of Returned Goods
You may examine the goods to the extent necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning, in the same way that you could reasonably examine them in a physical store.
Where possible, we recommend returning the product together with:
- its original packaging
- accessories and components
- instructions or accompanying material
- any other items supplied with the product
Missing or damaged original packaging does not automatically remove your statutory right of withdrawal.
However, you may be responsible for any diminished value of the goods resulting from handling beyond what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning.
5. Return Costs When You Change Your Mind
Where you exercise your statutory right of withdrawal simply because you have changed your mind, the direct cost of returning the goods is borne by the consumer unless Aristidou has agreed otherwise.
Return costs may depend on the weight, dimensions, origin of the shipment and selected carrier.
For bulky goods such as large canvases, stretcher frames, oversized paper or other high-volume products, we recommend contacting us before arranging the return.
6. Refunds
Following a valid withdrawal, Aristidou will refund the payments required under applicable law.
Where legally required, this includes the cost of the least expensive standard delivery method originally offered for the order.
If you selected a more expensive delivery method, such as express delivery, the additional cost above the standard delivery method does not have to be refunded.
Refunds are made without undue delay and within the statutory period.
Aristidou may withhold reimbursement until:
- the returned goods have been received, or
- you provide evidence that the goods have been sent back,
whichever occurs first.
Refunds will normally be made using the same payment method used for the original transaction unless otherwise agreed.
7. Exceptions to the Right of Withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply where an exemption is provided by applicable law.
Particularly relevant to Aristidou are goods which:
- are made to the customer's specifications
- are clearly personalised
- are custom printed
- involve custom screen-printing or another personalised printing application
- have been cut, produced or modified specifically according to customer instructions
Other statutory exemptions may also apply, including certain sealed goods that are unsuitable for return for health protection or hygiene reasons once unsealed.
Simply opening the packaging of an ordinary product does not, by itself, necessarily mean that the statutory right of withdrawal no longer applies.
8. Incorrect Products
If you receive a product different from the one you ordered, please contact us as soon as possible.
Please provide:
- your order number
- the product ordered
- the product received
- photographs where these assist in identifying the error
Where the error resulted from fulfilment by Aristidou, the issue will be dealt with without cost to the consumer, in accordance with applicable law.
9. Products Damaged in Transit
If a product arrives visibly damaged or appears to have been damaged during transportation, please contact us as soon as possible.
To help us investigate the matter efficiently, we recommend temporarily retaining the packaging and providing:
- order number
- photographs of the product
- photographs of the external packaging
- photographs of the internal packaging
- a short description of the damage
Providing photographs helps us investigate more quickly and does not limit your statutory rights.
10. Faulty or Non-Conforming Goods
The statutory right of withdrawal because you have changed your mind is separate from your rights when goods:
- are faulty
- do not function as expected
- do not correspond to their description
- do not have the agreed characteristics
- differ from what you ordered
In such cases, your statutory rights concerning the legal guarantee and conformity of goods apply.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable legal requirements, remedies may include:
- repair
- replacement
- reduction in price
- refund / termination of the contract
Repair or replacement is provided without charge to the consumer where the statutory conditions are satisfied.
Necessary return costs for faulty or incorrectly supplied goods are not borne by the consumer where responsibility lies with the seller.
Any manufacturer's commercial warranty is additional to and does not limit your statutory rights against the seller.
11. Exchanges
If you would prefer another product, colour, size or option because you have changed your mind, please contact us.
A direct exchange will depend on product availability and the applicable store policy.
Where practical, the original item may be returned and a new order placed for the preferred product.
Any commercial exchange facility does not restrict the statutory withdrawal rights applicable to online purchases.
12. Purchases Made in the Physical Store
The statutory 14-day withdrawal right described above generally applies to distance contracts, including online purchases.
Where a non-faulty product was purchased directly from our physical store, an exchange simply because the customer has changed their mind is subject to the applicable commercial policy of the store.
Statutory rights concerning faulty or non-conforming goods remain unaffected.
13. Custom Orders and Personalised Printing
Before confirming an order for:
- personalised printing
- screen-printing
- bespoke graphic or printing work
- products containing a name, design, photograph or other personalised element
- products produced or modified according to your specifications
please carefully check all files, dimensions, information and specifications you provide.
Where goods have been produced according to your individual choices or specifications, the statutory right of withdrawal because of a simple change of mind may not apply.
This exemption does not remove your rights where the resulting product is faulty or does not conform to the specifications agreed with you.
