6.3   The right of cancellation does not apply to contracts for the delivery of goods that are not prefabricated and for the manufacture of which an individual selection or determination by the consumer is decisive or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer.

The right of cancellation expires prematurely for contracts for the delivery of digital content not on a physical data carrier if the trader has started to execute the contract after the consumer has given his express consent and at the same time confirmed his knowledge that he loses his right of cancellation upon commencement of the execution of the contract.

7. Warranty

7.1   If the delivered goods are defective, the customer is entitled to replacement or improvement, withdrawal from the agreement, or a reduction of the purchase price, subject to statutory regulations.

7.2   For consumers, the statute of limitations on warranty claims for the delivered goods is two years from the receipt of the goods. For buyers who are not consumers, the statute of limitations on warranty claims is one year.

7.3   Warranties only apply if they have been explicitly included in the written product description.

8. Liability

8.1   Pattydoo assumes full liability in case of injury to life, body or health. In case of impossibility or delay of fulfillment and in case of violations of significant contractual obligations, pattydoo is also liable in case of negligence; this liability is limited to typical, foreseeable damages. Significant contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) are such contractual obligations which are essential for the correct execution of the agreement; the customer does and should be able to trust that compliance with these obligations is implicit.  Typical foreseeable damages are those designated by the protective purpose of the respective violated contractual clause.  pattydoo is otherwise not liable in case of minor negligence. The above limitations of liability also apply to any claims against pattydoo's corporate bodies, statutory representatives, and other agents employed in the performance of pattydoo's obligations.

8.2   The limitations of liability resulting from 8.1 shall not apply if pattydoo has fraudulently concealed the defect or has assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item. The same shall apply if pattydoo and the customer have reached an agreement on the quality of the item. The provisions of the Product Liability Act shall remain unaffected.

8.3   Currently available technologies cannot guarantee uninterrupted and error-free data communication via the Internet.  Therefore, pattydoo is not liable for continuous, uninterrupted availability of its online shop.

9. Data privacy

We collect and store the data of our customers that is necessary for business transactions. We comply with the statutory provisions when processing personal data. Details can be found in our privacy policy.

10. Contract language, applicable law, jurisdiction

10.1   All disputes arising from the legal relationship between the customer and pattydoo shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his habitual residence is not withdrawn. The application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is excluded.

10.2   If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from contractual relationships between the customer and pattydoo shall be our registered office. The same shall apply if the customer is not domiciled within the European Union.

10.3 The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (OS), which you can find under the link to the platform of the European Commission. We are not obliged or willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
