   In case of refusal of the user’s consent for the above delivery, PERGAMOS will not be able to fulfil the execution of the order and shall not have any further responsibility.

   In the event that the User does not wish for his personal data to become known to the authorised third party mentioned above, then he/she must physically visit any PERGAMOS retail store (after informing PERGAMOS) in order to personally pick up his/her order.
