General Contract Terms and Conditions (T&C)
Art and community are the two main pillars of our project. But because our service is (for all concerned) also a matter of business, the provision of a set of standard rules with respect to these business transactions is unavoidable. To this end, the following General Contract Terms and Conditions have been drawn up, and shall be agreed between you and us Mail: service@styletify.com):Summary
Our platform at www.styletify.com allows you to take advantage of various services provided by us. These services are presented here in a short summary:
- You can upload digital copies of works (e.g. photographs) onto our platform.
- You can order prints of the uploaded works, also including framing and lamination, to be provided by us for your own use.

To this end, and with due regard to your interests, we shall be entitled temporarily to interrupt or restrict the provision of our services. Insofar as possible, such maintenance work shall be carried out in times of minimal use. Should longer periods of interruption or restriction be necessary, we shall notify you of the type, extent, and duration of the impairment provided that this is possible in light of all the circumstances and that such notification does not prejudice or delay necessary repair to any existing interruption of service.
2.3. System interference and breakdown
You will be aware that according to the current state of technology it is not possible for works to be made available for viewing on the internet entirely free of system interference and breakdown. We therefore accept no liability for non-accessibility of works on account of technical problems with communication networks, security breaches by third parties (e.g. denial of service attacks) or incomplete and/or dated offers on proxy servers (temporary caches), where such is beyond our control.

2.3. We draw your attention here to the fact that for this part of the contract a return policy under §312d(4)(1) BGB (right of revocation and return in distance contracts) (German Civil Code) is excluded, as the works are produced in accordance with your own individual specifications and are clearly personalised (§312d(4)(1) BGB).

The remuneration for our services as set down in Point I.1. of these General Contract Terms and Conditions is calculated with respect to the current price list available for viewing at www.styletify.com as specified within the order process.

8.2. In all other cases, notification of all manifest defects must be made within one week. For the calculation of this time limit, the date of delivery and the date of receipt of notification of defect are decisive.
8.3. In case of any objection, all documentation with respect to the contract must be made available to us. Failure to do so may result in delay to the assessment and processing of the notification of defect.
8.4. Defects in part of the delivery do not justify objection to the entire delivery, save in the case that partial delivery is of no interest.
9. What guarantee applies to our services?
9.1. In case of defect, we shall be entitled, at our option and within a reasonable period, to make new delivery or to repair the defect.
