conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions, these will only become part of
the contract if we have expressly agreed to them.

time, and the ordering process can be canceled at any time by closing the browser window.

Customs
When you order physical products from us for delivery outside of the EU, you may be subject
to export restrictions, import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches its
intended destination. Any additional customs clearance fees must be borne by you; we have
no control over these charges. Customs regulations vary widely from country to country, so
you should contact your local customs office for more information. The protection of your
data is important to us and we would like to draw the attention of our international
customers to the fact that cross-border deliveries may be unpacked and inspected by the
customs authorities.
Return of goods
If you make use of your right of withdrawal, you have to bear the direct costs of returning
the goods.

delivery
a) Digital files:
Unless otherwise agreed, the goods are delivered by providing a link when purchasing digital
files. This can be pressed by you and starts the download to the storage medium you have
selected.
It is the customer's responsibility to provide suitable software that allows the files and
content to be properly opened, edited and printed.
b) Non-Digital Goods:
Unless otherwise agreed, the goods will be delivered from our warehouse to the address you
provide.
The goods remain our property until the purchase price has been paid in full.
If the product you ordered is not available from us because we were not supplied correctly
or on time by our reliable supplier through no fault of your own, despite ordering correctly
(congruent hedging transaction), you will receive an email notification immediately. This
releases us from our obligation to perform and we can withdraw from the contract. We will
immediately reimburse you for payments already made.
The following also applies to entrepreneurs: We reserve title to the goods until all claims
from the current business relationship have been settled in full. You may resell the goods in
the ordinary course of business. In this case, you assign to us all claims in the amount of the
invoice amount that accrue to you from the resale. We accept the assignment, but you are
authorized to collect the claims. We may also collect the claims ourselves if you do not meet
your payment obligations.
Transport damage:
The following applies to consumers: Please complain about goods with obvious transport
damage immediately upon delivery and contact us. The omission of a complaint or contact
has no consequences for your legal claims and their enforcement, in particular your
warranty rights. You help us to be able to assert our claims against the transport company or
the insurance company.
The following applies to entrepreneurs: The risk of accidental loss and accidental
deterioration passes to you as soon as we have handed over the goods to the transport
company.
Warranty
Your warranty claims are based on the statutory provisions.
Liability
We are fully liable for intent and gross negligence by the statutory provisions.

We are only liable for damage caused by slight negligence if this is based on the breach of a
material contractual obligation, the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper execution
of the contract and on the observance of which you can regularly rely (cardinal obligation).
We are not liable for damage caused by the improper execution of tips and instructions and
the improper implementation of the patterns, improper handling of materials in the
manufacture of clothing, or improper use of textiles made according to the patterns.
