1. Scope

These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to all orders placed by consumers as defined in Section 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB) through the online store of the “seiLeise ” Gallery – Tim Ossege, sole proprietor (hereinafter referred to as the “Seller,” “we,” or “seiLeise ” Gallery).
The online store's offerings are intended exclusively forconsumers. A consumeris any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither related to their commercial activities nor to their self-employed professional activities.
Deliveries via the online store are made exclusively to shipping addresses within the Federal Republic of Germany.
Any terms and conditions of the buyers that differ from these will not be recognized unless the seller expressly agrees to their applicability.

3. Subject matter of the contract

The subject matter of the contracts concluded through the online store is the sale of original works of art, limited-edition originals, limited editions, prints, and other artistic objects from seiLeise.
The key characteristics of each artwork—including, in particular, the title, dimensions, materials and techniques used, and, where applicable, the edition number, print run, and catalog number—are specified in the respective product description in the online store.
Original works of art and handmade editions are individually crafted artistic works. Particularly in the case of handcrafted, hand-sprayed, printed, or manually finished works, minor variations in paint application, color tone, texture, positioning, surface, or material properties may occur within a single edition. Such variations, which are inherent to the work and its production process, are an integral part of the individual character of each piece.
The images used in the online store are intended to illustrate the artworks on offer. Depending on the screen, display settings, lighting, and photographic reproduction, colors and contrasts in particular may differ from the artwork’s actual appearance.
For limited editions, the print run specified in the respective product description is authoritative. If a work is offered as numbered or signed, this information is provided in the respective product description.
For originals and other one-of-a-kind pieces, each work offered is generally available only once. For limited editions, availability depends on the number of pieces still available within the respective edition.

4. Conclusion of contract

The presentation of products and works of art in the online store does not constitute a legally binding offer by the seller, but rather a non-binding invitation to buyers to place an order.
Shoppers can first add the desired products to their shopping cart. Before submitting the order, they can view and review the order details and correct them using the tools provided during the ordering process.
By clicking the button that completes the ordering process, the buyer submits a binding offer to enter into a purchase agreement for the products contained in the shopping cart. In accordance with legal requirements, the order button is clearly marked as an order subject to payment.
Upon receipt of the order, the buyer will receive an automated email confirming receipt of the order. Such a confirmation of receipt alone does not constitute acceptance of the offer to purchase, unless the email expressly states that the order has been accepted.
The sales contract is concluded as soon as the seller expressly accepts the purchase offer by sending an order confirmation via email or ships the ordered goods to the buyer.
If a work of art that has been ordered is no longer available, contrary to what is shown in the online store—particularly because it is a one-of-a-kind piece that has since been sold to another buyer—the buyer will be notified immediately. In this case, a sales contract for the unavailable work will not be concluded. Any payments already made will be refunded immediately via the original payment method.
The language available for entering into the contract is German.

5. Prices

All prices listed in the online store are final prices in euros (€) and include the applicable sales tax as well as any other price components, if applicable.
In addition to the listed product price, shipping costs may apply. Whether shipping costs will be charged—and, if so, the amount—will be displayed in the respective offer or, at the latest, during the ordering process before you submit your binding order.
The price listed for the respective artwork in the online store at the time of the order is the applicable price.
We reserve the right to change prices for orders that have not yet been finalized. Purchase agreements that have already been concluded are not affected by subsequent price changes.

6. Shipping and delivery

Deliveries from the online store are made exclusively to shipping addresses within the Federal Republic of Germany. The online store does not offer shipping to addresses outside of Germany.
Shipments are generally made via DHL or DHL Express to the shipping address provided by the buyer during the ordering process.
Shipping within Germany is generally free of charge, unless otherwise specified in the respective product listing or during the ordering process.
For large-format items that require custom packaging and/or express shipping due to their size or nature, a flat-rate shipping fee of €200applies within Germany. The applicable shipping costs will be displayed in the respective offer or, at the latest, before the order is completed.
Delivery within Germany typically takes 3–7 business days, unless a different delivery time is specified in the respective offer.
If advance payment has been agreed upon, the specified delivery times begin upon full receipt of the invoice amount. For other payment methods, the delivery period begins upon the conclusion of the contract.
All shipments are insured and include tracking. The shipping confirmation and, if available, the tracking number will be sent to the buyer electronically.
If delivery is delayed due to unforeseeable circumstances, thebuyerwillbe notified. The buyer’s statutory rightsregarding a delay in delivery remain unaffected.
You may pick up your order in person in Cologne by prior arrangement. If pickup has been arranged, no shipping charges will apply.
The risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the goods is governed by the provisions of law.

7. Terms of payment

The purchase price is due upon execution of the purchase agreement, unless otherwise specified for the selected payment method.
Buyers may use the payment methods displayed in the online store or during the checkout process.
The specific payment methods available may vary depending on the technical and contractual capabilities of the payment service providers used.
If you use an external payment service provider, the respective terms of use and payment terms of that payment service provider also apply.
If the selected payment method requires payment before shipment, the ordered goods will generally not be shipped until full payment has been received.
The buyer is required to provide complete and accurate payment information during the payment process.
If a payment fails or if a payment that has already been made is reversed, the seller’s right to payment of the agreed-upon purchase price remains in effect, provided that the buyer is obligated to pay.

8. Retention of title

The delivered goods remain the property of the seller until the agreed-upon purchase price has been paid in full.
The transfer of ownership of the physical work of art does not include the transfer of copyrights or other rights of use. The provisions in Section 13 of these Terms and Conditions apply in addition to this.

9. Right of withdrawal

Consumers generally have a statutory right of withdrawal for distance sales contracts.
The cancellation period is generally 14 days. Details regarding the start of the cancellation period, the exercise of the right of cancellation, and its legal consequences are set forth in the separate cancellation policy of the seiLeise Gallery.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, the consumer must inform the provider, by means of a clear statement, of the decision to withdraw from the contract.
The complete cancellation policy and the sample cancellation form are provided separately in the online store.
The statutory provisions regarding the right of withdrawal remain applicable.

10. Exclusion of the right of withdrawal

In particular, the statutory right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for the delivery of goods that are not prefabricated and for which theconsumer’sindividual selection or specificationis decisive fortheir manufacture,or thatareclearlytailoredto the consumer’s personal needs.
This may apply in particular to works of art that are custom-made according to customer specifications, personalized, or designed at the customer’s express request, provided that the legal requirements for excluding the right of withdrawal are met.
The mere fact that a work of art is an original, a one-of-a-kind piece, a unique item, a numbered work, or part of a limited edition does not, in and of itself, preclude the statutory right of withdrawal.
If the goods are damaged as a result of handling that was not necessary to assess their nature, characteristics, and functionality, the statutory provisions regarding compensation for loss of value apply. Such damage does not automatically result in the loss of the right of withdrawal.

11. Warranty

The statutory rights regarding liability for defects apply to goods purchased in the online store.
The characteristics of each work of art are specified in particular in the respective product description.
In the case of handmade, hand-sprayed, printed, or manually finished works of art, variations in color, texture, paint application, surface, material properties, or positioning may occur due to the nature of the work and the manufacturing process.
Such variations, which are characteristic of the respective manufacturing process, do not constitute a material defect, provided that they do not deviate from an expressly agreed-upon quality or impair the normal or contractually intended use of the work.
Color variations between the image displayed on a screen and the actual artwork may occur, particularly due to differences in display, color, or lighting settings.
The buyer's statutory rights in the event of a defect remain unaffected.

12. Liability

The provider bears unlimited liability for damages resulting from willful misconduct or gross negligence.
The Provider also bears unlimited liability for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health, to the extent that such damages are attributable to an intentional or negligent breach of duty by the Provider, its legal representatives, or its agents.
In the event of a breach of material contractual obligations due to slight negligence, the Provider shall be liable for foreseeable damages typical for this type of contract. Material contractual obligations are those obligations whose fulfillment is essential for the proper performance of the contract and on whose compliance the contracting party may reasonably rely.
Furthermore, liability for damages caused by slight negligence is excluded to the extent permitted by law.
Liability under mandatory statutory provisions, in particular under the Product Liability Act, remains unaffected.

13. Copyright and Rights of Use

The works of art offered through the online store, as well as the designs, images, photographs, texts, and other content displayed in the online store, are protected by copyright to the extent that the legal requirements for such protection are met.
Upon purchasing a work of art, the buyer acquires ownership of the physical artwork in question. This does not entail a transfer of copyrights or other rights of use or exploitation, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
In particular, the purchase of a work of art does not grant the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute copies, make the work publicly available, or otherwise commercially exploit the underlying work, to the extent that the author’s consent is required for such actions under applicable law.
Any transfer of rights of use requires a separate agreement.
The statutory rights of the owner of the physical work, as well as uses permitted by law, remain unaffected.

14. Data protection

Buyers' personal data is processed in accordance with applicable data protection regulations, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Information regarding the nature, scope, and purpose of the processing of personal data, as well as the rights of data subjects, can be found in the online store’s separate privacy policy.

15. Applicable law / Place of jurisdiction

The contractual relationships between the seller and the buyers are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
Mandatory statutory consumer protection provisions remain unaffected.
For consumers, the statutory provisions regarding jurisdiction apply.
If the contracting party is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, and if an agreement on the place of jurisdiction is permitted by law, Cologne shall be the place of jurisdiction for disputes arising from the contractual relationship.

16. Final provisions

The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, unless otherwise validly agreed upon in these Terms and Conditions.
Should any provision of these Terms and Conditions be or become invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
Any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by the applicable statutory provisions.
