Area of validity

1.1These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC") of Christina Hohenwarter Art (hereinafter referred to as "Seller") apply to all contracts for the delivery of goods that a consumer or entrepreneur (hereinafter referred to as "Customer") concludes with the Seller with regard to the goods presented by the Seller in his online shop. The inclusion of the Customer's own conditions is hereby contradicted, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 These GTC apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless expressly stipulated otherwise.

1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these GTC is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside his trade, business or profession. An entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

Conclusion of contract

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the seller's online store do not constitute binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to submit a binding offer by the customer.

2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the seller's online store. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. The customer can also submit the offer to the seller by e-mail.

2.3 The seller can accept the customer's offer within five days,

• by sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive in this respect, or
• by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive in this respect, or
• by requesting payment from the customer after the order has been placed.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the point in time at which one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends at the end of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.

2.4 If a payment method offered by PayPal is selected, payment shall be processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter: "PayPal"), subject to the PayPal Terms of Use, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or - if the customer does not have a PayPal account - subject to the terms and conditions for payments without a PayPal account, available at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer pays by means of a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online ordering process, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the time the customer clicks the button concluding the ordering process.

2.5 When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the text of the contract is saved by the seller after the contract is concluded and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. email, fax or letter) after the customer's order has been sent. The seller will not make the text of the contract available beyond this.

2.6 Before submitting a binding order via the seller's online order form, the customer can recognize possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means of better recognizing input errors can be the browser's magnification function, which enlarges the display on the screen. Customers can correct their entries during the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click on the button that concludes the ordering process.

2.7 Only the German and English language is available for the conclusion of the contract.

2.8 Order processing and contact are generally carried out by e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address provided by him for order processing is correct so that the e-mails sent by the seller can be received at this address. In particular, when using SPAM filters, the customer must ensure that all e-mails sent by the seller or by third parties commissioned by the seller to process the order can be delivered.

cancellation policy

3.1 Information on the right of withdrawal for consumers can be found in the cancellation policy.

3.2 The right of withdrawal does not apply to consumers who have their place of residence, habitual abode or delivery address outside a member state of the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area at the time of conclusion of the contract and delivery.

3.3 The provisions of these General Terms and Conditions do not restrict the customer's statutory rights of revocation, withdrawal, termination, warranty and defect claims, or other mandatory rights, nor do they limit his payment and other claims in this regard.

4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the seller's product description, the prices quoted are total prices that include statutory VAT. Any additional delivery and shipping costs will be indicated separately in the respective product description.

Shipping conditions

5.1 Unless otherwise agreed, the goods shall be shipped to the delivery address specified by the customer. The delivery address specified in the seller's order processing is decisive for the processing of the transaction.

5.2 If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result.

5.3 Self-collection is not possible for logistical reasons.

5.4 Vouchers are given to the customer as follows:

Reservation of proprietary rights

If the seller makes advance payment, he shall retain title to the delivered goods until the purchase price owed has been paid in full.

Liability for defects (warranty)

7.1 If the purchased item is defective, the provisions of statutory liability for defects shall apply.

7.2 The customer is requested to complain to the deliverer about delivered goods with obvious transport damage and to inform the seller of this. If the customer fails to do so, this shall have no effect on his statutory or contractual claims for defects.

Special conditions for the processing of goods according to specific customer specifications

8.1 If, according to the content of the contract, the seller is also responsible for processing the goods according to the customer's specifications in addition to delivering the goods, the customer must provide the seller with all content required for processing, such as texts, images or graphics in the file formats, formatting, image and file sizes specified by the seller and grant the seller the necessary rights of use. The customer is solely responsible for the procurement and acquisition of rights to this content. The customer declares and assumes responsibility that he has the right to use the content provided to the seller. In particular, the customer shall ensure that no third-party rights are infringed, especially copyrights, trademark rights and personal rights.

8.2The customer shall indemnify the seller against claims by third parties which they may assert against the seller in connection with an infringement of their rights through the contractual use of the customer's content by the seller. The customer shall also assume the reasonable costs of the necessary legal defense, including all court and attorney's fees in the statutory amount. This does not apply if the customer is not responsible for the infringement. In the event of a claim by a third party, the customer is obliged to provide the seller immediately, truthfully and completely with all information necessary for the examination of the claims and a defense.

8.3 The seller reserves the right to refuse processing orders if the content provided by the customer violates legal or official prohibitions or offends common decency. This applies in particular to the provision of anti-constitutional, racist, xenophobic, discriminatory, offensive, youth-endangering and/or violence-glorifying content.
