TERMS AND CONDITIONS

§ 1 General Information

Your contractual partner for all orders within the scope of this online offer is labelfarm GmbH, represented by its directors Michael Petersen, Jörg Meinel, Andreas Bobek and David Dimitrov, Mühlweg 25, 04319 Leipzig, hereafter referred to as "labelfarm".

All deliveries from labelfarm to the customer are carried out based on the general terms and conditions given below. These underlie all offers and agreements between labelfarm and the consumer (any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes which can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their self-employed professional activity) or merchant (natural or legal persons or a partnership with legal capacity which acts in the exercise of their commercial or self-employed professional activity when concluding a legal transaction) and are accepted for the duration of the whole business relationship. Opposing or deviating conditions of the buyer are only binding if labelfarm has agreed to them in writing.

Our general terms and conditions also apply to future business relations with merchants without our having to refer to them again. If the merchant uses his own general terms and conditions, their validity is hereby contradicted. These would only apply as part of the contract if labelfarm expressly agrees to them.

§ 2 Conclusion of the Contract

(1) The "offers" contained on the website represent a non-binding invitation for the customer to place an order with labelfarm.

(2) By completing and submitting an order form on the internet, the customer makes a binding offer for the conclusion of a contract of purchase and/or a contract for work and materials. Before finally sending off the order form, the customer has the opportunity to check that his/her details are correct. The following languages are currently available for the ordering procedure: German, English, French.

labelfarm sends an order confirmation via email to the customer and examines the offer regarding its legal and effective feasibility, in particular any possible infringement upon trademark rights of third parties. The order confirmation does not represent an acceptance of the offer but shall only acknowledge to the customer that their order was received by labelfarm. The contract only materialises when labelfarm dispatches the product ordered to the customer and confirms the dispatch to the customer with a second email ("Shipping Confirmation").

(3) The conclusion of the contract shall depend on punctual and correct supply of the goods to labelfarm. This proviso shall not apply in the event of short-term disruption to deliveries or if labelfarm can be held responsible for non-delivery, in particular if labelfarm fails to make a congruent hedging transaction in good time. The customer will be informed immediately that the service is not available. If the customer has already paid for the goods, this money will be reimbursed.

§ 3 Delivery/Shipment

(1) Delivery is available to most European countries: More information can be found at smow.ch.

(2) Delivery shall be conducted by a shipment service provider chosen by labelfarm. The customer has to pay standard shipping costs which may depend on order value, and where it is shipped to. Current shipping prices can be viewed at smow.ch.

(3) A possibility of the self-collection of ordered goods is generally not provided for and requires in individual cases the prior agreement and express consent of labelfarm.

§ 4 Prices

(1) For customers ordering from EU states as well as Switzerland, the prices as given are the gross prices and include the statutory incidental taxes, in particular Value Added Tax. Postage and packing is charged for separately and shown separately in the invoice. The delivery address is definitive.

(2) For customers from outside the EU and Switzerland all stated prices are net prices. The shipping address is decisive. If, according to the statutory regulations, the goods are subject to sales taxes in the recipient country, then these shall be paid additionally upon receipt of the goods. Furthermore, the goods may be subject to import duties which the customer shall pay additionally upon receipt of the goods.

(3) The customer has to pay shipping and handling, which may depend on order value and the delivery location. Current shipping prices can be viewed at smow.ch.

(4) Purchase price, along with shipping and handling charges are immediately payable, without deduction.

§ 5 Payment

(1) Payment will be carried out according to the customer's choice of either credit card, advance payment or other payment methods. labelfarm reserves the right to limit the method of payment chosen by the customer depending on order value, shipment region or other objective criteria.

(2) In case of the method of payment chosen by the customer not being practicable, where labelfarm has met its contractual obligations, in particular if it is the case that a direct debit from the customer's account is not possible due to a lack of funds or provision of wrong information, then the customer shall reimburse any additional costs incurred by labelfarm or a third party which carried out the transaction.

(3) labelfarm is entitled to make use of the services of trustworthy third parties for the handling of the payment. Depending on the selected payment method, the type and scope of the transferred customer data differ. Further information can be found in our privacy policy.

(4) In the case of intervention of third parties in the handling of payments, then payment in relation to labelfarm only counts as made if the amount has been provided contractually to the third party, so that the third party can dispose of it as it sees fit.

(5) If it comes to a default of payment of the customer, labelfarm is allowed to assign its claims to a debt collection agency and transfer the personal data required for the handling of payments to these third parties.

§ 6 Conditional Sale

(1) Up to the payment of any monies owed to labelfarm the goods remain the property of labelfarm. If the customer is a merchant according to the German Commercial Code (HGB), labelfarm remains owner of all delivery items up to the receipt of all payment due resulting from the business relationship.

(2) The customer is obliged to handle the product with care up to the transfer of ownership.

§ 7 Transport damages

Should goods be received with obvious transport damage, the customer will make immediate contact with our customer service and, if possible, note the damage on the delivery note. Such actions will greatly assist labelfarm in pursuing the claims for damages against the transport company. In case of a failure to immediately respond or failure to contact labelfarm, the customer's statutory rights remain unrestricted.

§ 8 Guarantee

(1) Information, drawings, figures, technical data, specifications of weight, measurements and services, which are contained in brochures, catalogues, newsletters, ads or price lists only are of an informational nature. No responsibility is accepted by labelfarm for the correctness of this information. Regarding type and scope of delivery only the information shall be decisive which is contained in the order confirmation.

(2) Insofar as a defect is covered by warranty, the customer is entitled within the scope of the statutory provisions to demand subsequent performance first, to withdraw from the contract after failed subsequent performance or to reduce the purchase price.

(3) In the case of return shipments due to defects labelfarm will also pay for the cost of postage.

(4) Data communication via the internet, considering the current state of the technology, cannot be guaranteed as being flawless and/or available at any time. Thus, labelfarm shall not be liable for the continuous and uninterrupted availability of the online offer.

(5) The claims of the customer from warranty need as a prerequisite that they, as far as the customer is a merchant, have met their due obligations of examination and censure according to § 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB).

(6) The term of limitation for claims under warranty for the goods provided is two years starting from the receipt of such goods. If the customer is in business then the term of limitation is one year.

(7) labelfarm grants customers voluntary guarantees for certain products or services irrespective of the statutory warranty. The exact conditions for any additional guarantees that may apply can be found on the respective product pages and on special information pages in the online shop.

§ 9 Limitation of Liability

(1) Apart from that, liability on the part of labelfarm follows statutory provisions, insofar as nothing else is determined in these general terms and conditions. labelfarm only bears unlimited responsibility for damages, no matter what the legal ground, in the case of deliberate action and gross negligence. In addition, labelfarm also bears unlimited responsibility for damages in cases of mild negligence resulting in loss of life, bodily harm or damage to health. In the case of mild negligence and breach of an essential contractual obligation (cardinal obligation) labelfarm's liability is limited to the payment of the foreseeable, typically occurring damage. Liability of labelfarm according to the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected by the above mentioned provisions.

(2) As far as liability of labelfarm is excluded or limited in these general terms and conditions then the same applies for personal liability for damages on the part of employees, representatives and agents of labelfarm.

§ 11 Technical and Design Deviations

When fulfilling the contract, we expressly reserve the right to deviate from the descriptions and information in our brochures, catalogues and other written and electronical documents with respect to material, colour, weight, measurements, design or other features, as far as these can be considered reasonable for the customer. Reasonable cause for change may result from fluctuations customary in trade and technical production processes as well as product-specific properties.

§ 12 Data Protection

labelfarm uses personal data of the customer for appropriate purposes and according to statutory regulations. The personal data given (i.e. name, email address, mailing address, bank details) for ordering products are used by labelfarm for fulfilment and handling of the contract. This data is treated confidentially by labelfarm and is not given to any third parties who are not part of the ordering, delivery and payment procedures. The customer shall be entitled to access information on the personal data which labelfarm has saved about him free of charge, upon request and under unequivocal proof of his identity. Moreover, he is entitled to the correction of incorrect data, and the blocking and deletion of his personal data, insofar as there is no legal obligation to retain such data. Further information can be found in our privacy policy.

§ 13 Place of Jurisdiction – Place of Fulfilment – Choice of Law

(1) Place of fulfilment for all services is the place of business of labelfarm in Leipzig.

(2) As far as the customer is a merchant according to the Commercial Code of Germany (HGB), a legal entity under public law or special fund under public law, then Leipzig is the place of general jurisdiction. In such case, labelfarm is also entitled to sue the customer according to the opinion of labelfarm at their resident court. The same applies if the customer does not have their place of general jurisdiction in Germany, relocates their place of residence or habitual residence abroad after conclusion of the agreement, or their place of residence or habitual residence is unknown at the time of filing of an action.

(3) According to these general terms and conditions the agreement is exclusively subject to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. Recourse to the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is excluded. As far as the client is a consumer according to § 13 of the German Civil Code and is generally not resident in Germany, the mandatory regulations of this country remain unaffected.

(4) If individual provisions of these general terms and conditions are ineffective or oppose the statutory regulations, the rest of the agreement remains unaffected.

§ 14 Terms and Conditions for Free Items/Giveaways/Gifts/Bundle Discounts

(1) If, in the event of a (partial) withdrawal on the part of the customer, a specified minium order value for receipt of free items, giveaways or gifts is thereby no longer achieved, the customer commits to return all free items, giveaways or gifts associated with the promotion.

(2) Because the free items, giveaways or gifts are part of the sales contract concluded with the dealer, the buyer is required by law to return them if they revoke the contractual declaration and withdraw from the contract.

(3) Where the order involves a promotional package and/or bundle discount consisting of several items, cancelling any item in the set or bundle invalidates the terms and conditions for the discount offer or free gift.
