Liability for normal wear and tear is excluded. A warranty period of 6 months applies to entrepreneurs and public institutions. Claims for recourse for resold goods are excluded.

    Our sales prices do not include costs for delivery, assembly or installation. However, upon request, these services can be provided or organized by us for a separate payment. The costs actually incurred for transport or delivery will be invoiced, including an appropriate surcharge for management costs, but at least the freight and carriage wages applicable or usual on the day of delivery for the selected mode of transport. Assembly work is calculated based on the time required, with a standard man-hour rate being agreed in the industry.

Transport risk

If it is not a consumer transaction, the transport risk is transferred to the customer when the goods are handed over to the transport company. In this case, we are particularly not liable for transport damage or loss of the goods.

When shipping the goods, the risk of loss or damage to the goods only passes to the consumer as soon as the goods are delivered to the consumer or to a third party designated by the consumer and other than the carrier. However, if the consumer has concluded the transport contract himself without using one of the options we have suggested, the risk is transferred to the carrier when the goods are handed over.

  1. Delivery time
    We are only obliged to carry out the service once the customer has fulfilled all of his obligations required for the execution, in particular all technical and contractual details, preparatory work and preparatory measures. We deliver available items within five working days of the customer’s fulfillment.
  2. Delivery method
    Parcel deliveries from Art Creative GmbH are handled by Austrian Post. The customer can freely choose the shipping method depending on availability.
  3. Place of fulfillment
    If it is not a consumer transaction, the place of performance is the headquarters of our company.
  4. Minor performance changes
    If it is not a consumer transaction, minor or other changes to our service or delivery obligation that are reasonable for our customers are deemed approved in advance. This applies in particular to deviations caused by the matter.
  5. Damages
    If it is not a consumer transaction, all claims for damages in cases of slight negligence are excluded. This does not apply to personal injuries. Unless it is a consumer transaction, the injured party must prove the existence of slight or gross negligence.

If it is not a consumer transaction, the limitation period for claims for damages is three years from the transfer of risk. The provisions regarding damages contained in these terms and conditions or otherwise agreed also apply if the claim for damages is asserted in addition to or instead of a warranty claim. Unless otherwise expressly agreed, further claims by the buyer, regardless of the legal basis, are excluded.

We are therefore not liable for damage that did not arise directly from the delivery item; In particular, we are not liable for lost profits or other financial losses to the buyer. We are not liable for the restoration of data unless we caused the loss intentionally or through gross negligence and the buyer has ensured that data has been backed up so that the data can be reconstructed with reasonable effort.

    Claims for recourse within the meaning of Section 12 of the Product Liability Act are excluded unless the person entitled to recourse proves that the error was caused in our sphere and was at least due to gross negligence.
  2. Retention of title and its assertion
    All goods are delivered by us subject to retention of title and remain our property until full payment has been made. Asserting the retention of title only constitutes withdrawal from the contract if this is expressly declared. If it is not a consumer transaction, we are entitled to charge any transport and handling costs incurred when taking back goods. If third parties access the reserved goods – in particular through seizure – the customer undertakes to point out our ownership and to notify us immediately. If the customer is a consumer or not an entrepreneur whose regular business operations include trading in the goods purchased from us, he may not dispose of the reserved goods, in particular not sell, pawn, give them away or lend them, until the outstanding purchase price claim has been paid in full.

Entrepreneurs may dispose of, sell and further process the reserved goods in their normal business operations. This right expires if the entrepreneur does not do everything that is necessary to settle our claims or if the entrepreneur does not fulfill his other obligations. The customer bears the full risk for the reserved goods, in particular for the risk of destruction, loss or deterioration. If the payment is canceled via a credit card chargeback, the goods remain our property.

  1. Assignments of claims
    In the case of delivery under retention of title, the customer assigns to us his claims against third parties, insofar as these arise from the sale or processing of our goods, until our claims have been finally paid. Upon request, the customer must name his customers and inform them of the assignment in a timely manner. The assignment is in the business books, especially in the open items? Enter the list and make it visible to the customer on delivery notes, invoices, etc. If the customer is in arrears with his payments to us, the sales proceeds received by him must be separated and the customer only holds these in our name. Any claims against an insurer have already been assigned to us within the limits of Section 15 of the Insurance Contract Act. As long as the buyer meets his payment obligations to us, he may collect outstanding debts on his behalf. This agreement expires if the buyer stops making payments, there is a bill protest, an unsuccessful execution is carried out on the buyer or the buyer becomes insolvent. From this point onwards, payments must be transferred to a special account. The purchase price must not be mixed with the buyer’s assets, but must be kept separately and in our name.

Claims against us may not be assigned without our express consent.

  1. Retention
    If it is not a consumer transaction, the customer is not entitled to withhold the entire, but only an appropriate portion of the gross invoice amount if the complaint is justified, except in cases of reversal.
