Purchase of products

(1) The purchase of Products is subject to the terms and conditions applicable at the time.

(2) If you purchase a Product: (i) you are responsible for reading the item description in its entirety before making a binding purchase; and (ii) the completion of an order on the Site (by completing a payment transaction via the "Order for Charge" button or similar button) may constitute a legally binding contract for the purchase of the relevant Product, unless these Terms provide otherwise.

(3) You can click on the corresponding button, select products from our product selection and add them to the shopping cart. Our prices are listed on the site. We reserve the right to change our prices at any time and to correct any unintentional pricing errors. These changes will not affect the price of products you have previously purchased. When you check out, you will be shown an overview of all the products you have added to your shopping cart. The overview includes the main features of each product as well as the total price for all products, the applicable sales tax (VAT)/value added tax (VAT) and shipping costs, if any. On the payment page you also have the possibility to check the products and quantities and, if necessary, change, remove or correct them. You can also still use the edit function to identify and correct any input errors before placing your final binding order. All stated delivery times are valid from the receipt of your payment of the purchase price. When you click on the "Order with costs" button, you place a binding order to purchase the listed products at the specified price and shipping costs. To complete the ordering process via the "Order with costs" button, you must first accept these terms and conditions as legally binding for your order by checking the appropriate box.

(4) We will then send you a confirmation of receipt of your order by e-mail, in which your order is listed once again and which you can then print or save using the corresponding function. Please note that this is an automatic notification which only proves that we have received your order. It does not indicate that we have accepted your order.

(5) The legally binding agreement on the purchase of the products is only concluded when we send you a declaration of acceptance by e-mail or send the products to you. We reserve the right not to accept your order. This does not apply in cases where we offer a payment method - and you choose this payment method for your order - where a payment process is initiated immediately upon submission of your order (e.g. electronic transfer or real-time transfer via PayPal, credit and debit cards, Klarna). In this case, the legally binding agreement is deemed to be concluded when you have initiated the ordering process, as described above, by clicking the "Order with costs" button.

(6) The purchase contract can be concluded in [German] language. After conclusion of the contract, the terms of the contract will be stored by us, you will then no longer have access to them.

Right of withdrawal

The customer is granted a right of withdrawal for 7 calendar days after receipt of the goods for the following reasons:

  •   If the product shows any damage.

  •  or there is a defective delivery.

The deadline is considered met if the customer sends the written revocation by email or letter to Markus Manfredi Prints within the deadline.

The exercise of the right of withdrawal leads to a reversal of the contract. The customer must return the goods within 7 calendar days in their original packaging, complete with all accessories and together with the delivery bill to the return address indicated by Markus Manfredi Prints in the imprint. Returns to Markus Manfredi Prints are at the expense and risk of the customer.

In the following cases no right of withdrawal is granted:

  • If the contract has a movable item as its object, which is made according to the customer's specifications or is clearly tailored to personal needs;

  • If the contract has digital content as its subject matter and this content is not provided on a fixed data carrier or if the contract is to be performed in full by both contracting parties immediately;

  • If the contract has a random element, namely because the price is subject to fluctuations over which the provider has no control.
