When you access the Sites and/or the Goods and/or the Services, you accept the terms and conditions as laid down in these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you cannot use or access the Sites or the Services, or purchase the Goods.
Τwo types of users may access the Sites – users accessing the Sites without uploading or downloading information on the Sites or accessing password-protected services (such as reservations), and Guests.

Without limiting the above, password-protected services are not available to persons under the age of 23, or to Guests who have been barred or excluded themselves temporarily or indefinitely. Unless you are authorised, you may not use or access the Sites or Services or acquire Goods.
CHCL reserves the right periodically to change these terms and conditions and/or Goods and Services as it sees fit, posting the terms and the conditions, the Goods and the Services on its Sites. Your use of the Sites following any such change means that you agree to follow and be bound by the amended terms and the amended conditions of these Terms of Use.

In this case, you agree immediately to destroy any material you have downloaded and/or printed.
