A. General Terms and Conditions
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
1) Scope of Application
1.1 These Terms and Conditions of the company Anita Lapp
The Gift Edit by Annie (hereinafter referred to as "Seller”) shall apply to all contracts concluded between a buyer (hereinafter referred to as "Client”) and the Seller related to the goods and/or services presented by the Seller on the electronic platform Etsy (hereinafter referred to as "Etsy”). The inclusion of the Client's own conditions is herewith objected to, unless other terms have been stipulated.
1.2 The Client’s use of the Seller’s internet presence on Etsy shall be deemed to reflect the Client’s agreement to be bound by these GTC.
1.3 The Seller reserves the right to amend or replace these GTC at any time. The Seller will inform the Client about substantial amendments at least 30 days prior notice. By continuing to access or use the service of the Seller’s online shop after those revisions become effective, the Client agrees to be bound by the revised GTC.
1.4 The Client agrees to electronically access, receive, review, sign, and authenticate certain documents and forms covered by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (“E-SIGN Act”), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”) adopted by various states, and/or the separate state laws of Illinois, New York, and Washington (as applicable). The electronic signature will bind the Client to the same extent as if he had signed on paper with an ink signature. He also agrees that such documents and forms may be retained solely in an electronic format and are “transferable records” within the meaning of the UETA.
2) Conclusion of the contract
2.1 When placing an item on the electronic platform Etsy , the Seller shall make a binding offer to the interested party for the sale of this item.
2.2 The Client can accept the Seller’s offer via the Etsy online order form. In doing so, the Client has to place the selected item in the virtual Etsy shopping basket and subsequently he has to go through the ordering steps specified by Etsy. By clicking on the button finalizing the order process, the Client declares the acceptance of the offer, whereby a contract comes into effect regarding the item previously selected by the Client.
2.3 The contract's content will be stored by the Seller and will be sent to the Client in writing including these Terms and Conditions and Client Information in text form (for example via e-mail, fax or letter) after conclusion of the contract. In addition, the contract's content will be stored by Etsy and can be called free of charge by the Client via his Etsy password-protected customer account.
2.4 The Client can correct all the data entered via the technical means provided by Etsy prior to submitting his order. Corrections can be made directly in the respective input fields of the online shop via the usual keyboard and mouse function.
2.5 The English language is exclusively available for the conclusion of the contract.
3) Return policy
The Seller does not offer returns.
4) Price and delivery costs
4.1 Prices are indicated in US dollars, excluding taxes and shipping costs. Taxes and shipping costs have to be borne by the Client. Shipping costs are specified separately in the respective product description. Despite the Seller’s best efforts, it may happen that some of the items listed on the Seller’s site are incorrectly priced. If the price of an item is less than the Seller’s stated price, the Client will be charged with the lower amount. If the price of an item is higher than the price stated on the Seller’s site, the Seller will either contact the Client for instructions before shipping the item or reject the Client’s order and notify the Client of such rejection.
4.2 For deliveries to the United States, additional costs may arise such as transfer fees charged by the bank and taxes and/or customs duties. Those costs have to be borne by the Client.
4.3 Various modes of payment are available for the Client which are indicated in the Etsy Seller's online shop.
4.4 When using a payment method offered via the payment service "Etsy Payments", the payment processing is carried out by Etsy Ireland UC, 66/67 Great Strand Street, Dublin 1, Ireland (hereinafter "Etsy UC") or - if the payment is made in the currencies of US dollars or Canadian dollars - by Etsy Inc, 117 Adams Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201 , United States of America (hereinafter "Etsy Inc"). Etsy UC or Etsy Inc. enables the Client to use various payment methods as part of the payment processing via Etsy Payments.

5.1 Goods are generally delivered on dispatch route and to the delivery address indicated by the Client, unless otherwise agreed.
5.2 In the case of unavailability of an item, the Seller will inform the Client by e-mail as soon as possible. In such a case, the Seller will propose to the Client either to order another item shown on the Seller’s site in substitution or to cancel his order. If the Client chooses to cancel his order, he will be refunded, if his bank account has been debited. The Seller shall not be liable in case of unavailability of items.
5.3 Should delivery to the Client not be possible, the assigned transport company returns the goods to the Seller and the Client bears the cost for the unsuccessful dispatch.
6) Warranty
The Seller disclaims any implied warranty of merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose in connection with the Client’s purchase of units of any item under this contract.
The Seller will not be liable for any indirect, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits arising out of or relating to this contract or the transactions it contemplates (whether for breach of contract, tort, negligence , or otherwise) and irrespective of whether the Seller has been advised of the possibility of any such damage. In no event will the Seller’s liability exceed the price the Client paid to the Seller for the specific goods provided by the Seller giving rise to claims or cause of action .
Some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to the Client to the extent such exclusions are not allowed. In such case, such exclusion shall be limited to the extent required by applicable law.
7) Limitation of action
No action arising out of or relating to this contract or the transactions it contemplates may be commenced against the Seller more than 12 months after the basis for such claim could reasonably have been discovered.
8) Governing Law
The laws of the Federal State of the U.S. in which the Client has his permanent residence govern all legal relationships between the parties excluding the UN-Convention for the international sale of movable goods.
9) Designation of forum
A party bringing a legal action of proceeding against the other party arising out of or relating to this contract or the transactions it contemplates must bring the legal action or proceedings in the court of the State where the Seller has his place of business. Each party to this contract consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State where the Seller has his place of business for the purpose of all legal actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this agreement or the transactions it contemplates.
