1. General and Business Relationships

The following General Terms and Conditions apply to the contractual relationships that have arisen within the online shop "vanyaillustrations.com" by Mr. David Pracht, Obere Erlentiefenstraße 28, 59192 Bergkamen (hereinafter referred to as "Seller") between the Seller and his customers (hereinafter referred to as "Buyers").

Contracts are concluded with both consumers and entrepreneurs.

A consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly are neither commercial nor self-employed professional activities.

According to § 14 BGB, an entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a legal partnership that acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction. A legal partnership is one that has the capacity to acquire rights and enter into liabilities.

2. Conclusion of the Contract

All products, articles, and services to be purchased within the Seller's online shop do not constitute binding offers by the Seller in the legal sense, but are rather an invitation to submit an offer by the Buyers.

After submitting the order, the Buyer immediately receives an email confirming the receipt of the order, which does not yet represent acceptance of the offer in the legal sense, by which the contract is concluded. The contract only comes into existence when the order has been received by the Buyer.

3. Prices, Value Added Tax, Payment

All stated prices are total prices including statutory VAT plus any shipping costs depending on the delivery type (see § 4).

The Seller offers the following payment methods: Bank transfer (advance payment), PayPal (credit card), Klarna, invoice, immediate transfer. The Seller issues an invoice for the ordered goods to the customer, which accompanies the goods on delivery or is sent by mail.

4. Deliveries, Shipping Costs, and Transfer of Risk

Delivery (shipment by a shipping company) occurs immediately after receipt of payment or notification via PayPal.

The delivery and payment conditions of the Seller are specified in the order form. Please refer to the respective item description for the delivery date.

On the last order page before submitting your offer ("Buy"), you will again receive an overview of the essential features of the goods, the total price of the goods, and all associated components such as shipping and packaging costs.

If the buyer is a consumer in the sense of § 13 BGB, the seller exclusively bears the shipping risk. If the buyer is an entrepreneur, the risk passes to the buyer as soon as the seller has delivered the item to the forwarder, or the person or institution designated to carry out the shipment.

5. Cancellation Policy

Cancellation Policy and Sample Cancellation Form

The following cancellation policy applies exclusively to consumers (see § 1 of the Terms and Conditions).

Right of Withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The cancellation period is 14 days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the goods.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (David Pracht, Obere Erlentiefenstraße 28, 59192 Bergkamen, info@vanyaillustrations.com) by means of a clear statement (e.g., a letter sent by post, fax, or email) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but it is not mandatory.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Consequences of Withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse you all payments received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification of your withdrawal from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in no case will you be charged fees for this reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the returned goods or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest. You must send back or hand over the goods to us immediately and in any event not later than fourteen days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the fourteen-day period has expired. You bear the direct costs of returning the goods.

7. Statutory Warranty Rights

The statutory warranty rights apply to our goods unless deviated from here under V.

If the customer acts as a consumer, the limitation period for warranty claims for used goods is limited to one year from the delivery of the item. The limitation period for claims for damages in the event of injury to life, body, health, which are based on an intentional or negligent breach of duty by the seller or on an intentional or negligent breach of duty by a legal representative or vicarious agent of the seller, remains unaffected. Furthermore, the limitation period for claims for other damages based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the seller or on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by a legal representative or vicarious agent of the seller remains unaffected. In addition, any liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected. Otherwise, the statutory provisions apply.

For entrepreneurs, the following applies concerning the warranty and liability:

a)

The limitation period for warranty claims is one year for entrepreneurs, both for newly manufactured items and for used items. Otherwise, the statutory provisions also apply here.

b)

The buyer must inspect the goods immediately after delivery by the seller, as far as this is feasible in a proper course of business, and, if a defect appears, notify the seller immediately. If the buyer fails to notify, the goods are considered approved, unless it is a defect that was not identifiable during the inspection. If such a defect appears later, the notification must be made immediately after its discovery; otherwise, the goods are considered approved even concerning this defect. To maintain the rights of the buyer, the timely dispatch of the notification is sufficient. If the seller has fraudulently concealed the defect, he cannot invoke these regulations.

10. Information Obligation According to the Battery Act (BattG)

In connection with the distribution of batteries or accumulators, or with the delivery of devices containing batteries or accumulators, we are obliged according to the Battery Ordinance to inform you of the following: Batteries may not be disposed of in household garbage. As the end consumer, you are legally obliged to return used batteries. You can return batteries after use to the sales outlet or in their immediate vicinity (e.g., at municipal collection points or in retail) free of charge. You can also return batteries from our range in the usual quantities by mail to us. Batteries or accumulators containing pollutants are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out waste bin. Near the trash can symbol is the chemical designation of the pollutant. "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" for lead, "Hg" for mercury, "Li" for lithium, "Ni" for nickel, "Mh" for metal hydride, and "Zi" for zinc. The signs under the trash cans stand for: Pb: Battery contains more than 0.004 mass percent lead Cd: Battery contains more than 0.002 mass percent cadmium Hg: Battery contains more than 0.0005 mass percent mercury

The symbol of the crossed-out trash can means that the battery must not be disposed of with household waste.

As a retailer, we are legally obliged to inform you that such old devices must not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste but must be collected separately and disposed of through the local collection and return systems. According to the "ElektroG" law from March 23, 2005, as of November 25, 2005, we only sell electrical and electronic equipment from manufacturers who have registered with the competent authority and provide an insolvency-proof guarantee for the financing of the return and disposal of their electrical appliances.
