Before you continue to navigate the Website, you are kindly requested to carefully read the Terms of Use, which constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Marketing Greece. 

By using the Website, its content and the services provided, you, the user of the Website, unconditionally declare and assure that you agree with the content of the Terms of Use and you understand the Terms of Use. In case you disagree with the content of the Terms of Use, in whole or in part, please do not use the Website and the services provided through the Website. 

Μarketing Greece reserves the right to prohibit the use of the Website and the services provided through the Website, in case the user does not comply with the Terms of Use and the applicable legislation.

1.3 The Website is an online platform owned by Marketing Greece, through which tourism and travel-related products and services are promoted and access is granted to products and services of third parties (either within the environment of the Website from information granted by third parties or in third parties’ websites, in the content of which -in both cases- Marketing Greece has no right to intervene and consequently has no liability). Specifically, through the Website, services of third parties are provided to you, the user, as well as services of promotion of third parties (hereinafter the term “Service Providers” includes third parties that provide services such as accommodation, tour guides, transportation, entertainment, restaurants, bars, cafés and any other service that may be added in the future or to whom promotional services are provided through the Website and are contractually linked with Marketing Greece). Consequently, any reference to providing services through the Website and/or Marketing Greece shall mean services provided to you from Service Providers, given that Marketing Greece does not provide to you services, unless it is otherwise and explicitly stated per section or function on the Website. 

Therefore, through the Website, Service Providers may advertise their services and products, provide their services and sell their products, while, you, the users, may discover places in Greece, organize your trip, indicatively, order/reserve/buy/pay for tickets for transport (book a flight, book a ferry, book a ticket for a railway or suburban railway) and/or entertainment (book a ticket for a museum or book a guide), and/or proceed to a hotel reservation, and in general discover any product or service provided through the Website by Service Providers (and not through Marketing Greece, unless if it otherwise explicitly stated in the Terms of Use).

1.4 Unless otherwise and explicitly referred and indicated per service in these Terms of Use, Marketing Greece does not itself provide booking services, as stated above in term 1.3, and in general does not provide any service and does not sell any product to you. When you proceed to an order or you buy a product or service (for example, book a ticket or a room) and in general when you proceed to any transaction through the Website, you enter into an agreement directly with the Service Provider. Consequently, due to the lack of any contractual relationship between you, the user, and Marketing Greece, the charges are made by the Service Provider. Therefore, we advise you to carefully read and save/print the terms of use of the website of the Service Provider to secure your rights and interests. You are not charged with any amount for the information provided to you through the Website. Service Providers which advertise their services through the Website have contractual relationship with Marketing Greece and Marketing Greece receives a contribution for the promotion and advertising of their services, so as to provide to you free of charge information relating to Greece.

Service Providers have the exclusive liability for the correctness, completeness and accuracy of the said information (indicatively: prices, charges and any other payment for the provision of their service to you, availability, cancellation policy and in general the terms and conditions under which they provide their service to you). The said information is not controlled by Marketing Greece, given that Service Providers, through extranet, publish their information on the Website themselves. Marketing Greece, in any case, does not guarantee and/or does not confirm the correctness, completeness and accuracy of the said information of the Service Providers, nor is liable towards you, the user, for any reason which is associated to the contractual relationship between you and the Service Provider (indicatively: false information, non-availability, no provision of the service, cancellation of the service etc). Unless otherwise and explicitly stated, through the Website, Marketing Greece does not, directly or indirectly, accept or approve or recommend or suggest to you of any of the Service Providers or their services/products. 

1.6 The Website provides access to other websites, administered, and owned by third parties. Liable for these websites and their content are the companies that own these websites (Service Providers included). Marketing Greece has no right to intervene in the content of the previous mentioned websites nor assumes any liability for their content, or the correctness, completeness and accuracy of the information provided through these websites. Marketing Greece does not itself provide an accommodation service, transport service, tour guide service, etc, nor does it sell relevant products. The provision of the relevant products as mentioned in term 1.3 above is provided to you by the Service Provider and the relevant agreement is executed between you and the Service Provider. Given this, Marketing Greece has no liability (contractual or for tort) in case of non-performance, poor performance, and in general any liability for any reason whatsoever associated with the provision of the services or the sale of products of Service Providers, given that the said services are not provided (and the products are not sold) by Marketing Greece. We advise you to be very careful when you proceed with transactions for services provided or products sold by Service Providers, because these transactions are governed by terms that might have limitation of liability or disclaimer. These terms may also demand your approval and/or your consent.
