General conditions of sale and delivery

CHAPTER I: GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. Applicability of these terms and conditions.

These general terms and conditions apply to every offer, quotation and every contract between Cre8Design GmbH (Amtsgericht Coesfeld, HRB 11086), hereinafter referred to as "Vendor", and the client, insofar as these general terms and conditions are not expressly deviated from by the parties in writing.

Clauses which deviate from the clauses contained in these general terms and conditions, such as the customer's purchasing or other general terms and conditions, shall not be effective between the parties unless they have been agreed upon in consultation with the Vendor and have been expressly accepted as such in writing by the Vendor.

The customer who has previously entered into agreements with Seller where these general terms and conditions were applicable, he shall be deemed to tacitly agree to the applicability of the general terms and conditions to subsequent agreements of Seller.

2. Quotations, formation of agreement

An offer made by Seller is without obligation and valid for 30 calendar days, unless otherwise indicated. Seller may still revoke a quotation within two working days of acceptance by the customer. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer are not binding on Seller.

The prices stated in an offer are exclusive of Mehrwertsteuer or VAT respectively, packaging costs and transport, unless otherwise indicated.

If the Seller has had to incur costs for issuing the quotation, the Seller is authorized to charge the customer for all costs it had to incur to prepare the quotation.

The contract is established when the customer has agreed in writing to the quotation, unless Seller revokes its quotation, or Seller has agreed in writing to the customer's order confirmation. The Seller is at all times free to refuse an order, for example, if the Seller would violate intellectual property rights of third parties by carrying out the order. If the customer has made a request for post-payment in accordance with article 21 of these general terms and conditions, the contract is concluded under the suspensive conditions of acceptance of the post-payment request by the Seller.

If the customer has accepted the offer electronically (for example, by placing an order in the Seller's webshop), the Seller shall immediately confirm receipt of acceptance of the offer electronically.

Seller may, within legal frameworks, investigate whether the client can meet his payment obligations, as well as all those facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the distance contract. If on the basis of this investigation the Seller has good grounds not to enter into the agreement, he is entitled to refuse an electronic order or request or to attach special conditions to the execution, giving reasons.

Seller reserves the right to execute the agreement in parts and to invoice the agreement in parts.

Each agreement constitutes a stand-alone transaction; any default in Seller's performance will not affect the agreement with respect to other deliveries

3. Delivery time, acceptance

Unless otherwise agreed, delivery shall be ex works Seller's place of business. The Seller shall execute accepted orders expeditiously but within 30 days, unless another delivery period has been agreed upon. The agreed delivery period will never be a deadline. The agreed delivery period shall be extended by a period during which the Seller is prevented from fulfilling its obligations due to force majeure, whereby the inability to acquire the necessary materials or raw materials shall expressly be regarded as force majeure. In any case, force majeure is to be understood as all circumstances beyond Seller's control that make it difficult or impossible for Seller to produce, acquire, sell or deliver the products as referred to in the agreement.

If the parties have agreed that the Seller will deliver the products to the customer and the delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot or can only be partially carried out, the customer will be informed of this no later than 30 days after he has placed the order. In that case, the customer has the right to dissolve the agreement without cost. In case of dissolution in accordance with this paragraph, Seller will refund the amount paid by the customer as soon as possible, but at the latest within 14 days after dissolution.

The risk of damage and/or loss of products rests with the Seller until the time of delivery to the customer or a representative designated in advance and made known to the Seller, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

Seller shall not be liable for discrepancies, errors and defects unnoticed by the customer in proofs approved or corrected by the customer. Any proof produced at the customer's request shall be charged in addition to the agreed price, unless it is expressly agreed that the cost of such proofs is included in the price.

Deviations in the materials and semi-finished products used by Seller that are permitted according to the general conditions of sale related to the delivery of these materials and semi-finished products shall be considered deviations of minor significance. The relevant terms and conditions are available for inspection at the supplier's premises. The supplier shall send the customer a copy of these terms and conditions free of charge upon request.

Deviations between the delivered product on the one hand and the original design, drawing, copy or model or the typesetting, printing or other proofs on the other hand cannot constitute grounds for rejection, discount, rescission of the agreement or compensation for damages, if they are of minor importance or customary in the industry.

The originals provided by the customer shall be handled with care. However, the Vendor shall not be liable for any damage that may occur during processing. Uploaded files will not be stored for longer than one month.

Upon return of the entire purchase, the full purchase price including any shipping and/or payment charges will be refunded to the customer. The cost of returning the goods shall be borne by the customer. If only part of the goods are returned, only the purchase value of the returned goods will be refunded.

Seller shall use the same means of payment used by the customer for reimbursement, unless the customer agrees to another method.

If the customer has chosen a more expensive method of delivery than the least expensive standard delivery, Seller does not have to refund the additional costs for the more expensive method.

The return of the goods is entirely at the expense and risk of the customer.
