Text and date on Artekcenter.com sites
We try to keep the Artekcenter.com site up to date at all times, but we cannot be absolutely sure that all information is 100% accurate. Therefore we do not guarantee or do not resume any legal liability regarding all information on the site. Item pictures are symbolic and do not depict the actual properties of an item (colour, details, additional equipment etc.). Such mistakes occur because of technical solutions or because of human error. Changes in the modern world are so rapid that it is impossible to keep up with all new information on the site as it takes some time to change it. This applies especially to prices and item properties. If you find any errors, please contact us at: shop@artekcenter.com. We are very grateful for any correction.
