Terms and conditions

§1 General

Kreativhaus oHG is your contract partner for orders within the scope of this online offer (kreativhaus.de), represented by its owners: Alexander and Christian Braren, Venusberg 12, 20459 Hamburg, Trade Registry (Handelsregister) Hamburg No.: HRA 109709, hereinafter referred to as “Kreativhaus” in the following terms and conditions.

The following General Terms and Conditions are the basis for all deliveries to the customer purchased through kreativhaus.de. These terms and conditions are applicable to all offers, sales, and agreements made between Kreativhaus and the customer and are accepted and remain valid throughout the duration of the business relationship. Deviating terms and conditions of customers cannot be recognized as a matter of principle, unless Kreativhaus approves an amendment to this clause in writing.

§2 Conclusion of Contract

(1) The “offers” found on kreativhaus.de represent a non-binding invitation for the customer to place an order with Kreativhaus.
(2) You have the option of concluding the contract of sale in German or English.
(3) By submitting a completed order form online on kreativhaus.de the customer submits a binding offer for the conclusion of a contract of purchase. On a summary page the customer will be given the opportunity to review and, if necessary, add or change the selection(s) made before finally submitting an order. The languages that are currently available during the order process are German and English.
Kreativhaus will send the customer an email “Receipt of Order” after an order has been placed to confirm that it was received. The order will be reviewed to determine whether fulfillment is feasible. The “Receipt of Order” itself does not yet constitute the acceptance of the offer; Kreativhaus merely intends to confirm to the customer that the order was received.
The contract of purchase between Kreativhaus and the customer is concluded when (a) Kreativhaus sends another email which will serve as the “Order Confirmation” or when (b) Kreativhaus delivers the ordered goods.
(4) The conclusion of the contract shall depend on punctual and correct supply of the required materials to Kreativhaus from their own suppliers to fulfill the order. This condition does not apply in case of temporary inability to supply due to unforeseen incidents or if Kreativhaus can be held accountable for non-delivery, especially when Kreativhaus fails to execute a congruent hedging transaction. The customer will be informed about the unavailability of requested goods immediately. If goods were already paid for by the customer, a refund will be issued.
