1) Scope of Application
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions of the company Martina Lintner-Michelfeit (hereinafter referred to as as "Licensor") apply to all contracts for the delivery of data which is not contained on a tangible medium and which is produced and supplied in digital form (digital content), a consumer or trader (hereinafter referred to as "Licensee") concludes with the Licensor with regard to the digital content presented by the Licensor on the Internet trading platform Etsy (hereinafter referred to as "Etsy"). The inclusion of the Licensee's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 The subject of the contract is the provision of digital content offered by the licensor to the licensee in electronic form granting certain rights of use regulated specifically in these GTC.
1.3 A consumer pursuant to these GTC is any natural person concluding a legal transaction for a purpose attributed neither to a mainly commercial nor a self-employed occupational activity. A trader pursuant to these Terms and Conditions is any natural or legal person or company with legal personality acting in the performance of a commercial or self-employed occupational activity when concluding a legal transaction.
2) Conclusion of the Contract
2.1 By placing an article with Etsy, the licensor makes a binding offer to sell the digital content.
2.2 The licensee can accept the offer of the licensor via the online order form provided by Etsy. To do this, the licensee must first place the desired article in the virtual Etsy shopping basket and then pass through the order steps specified by Etsy. By clicking the button finalizing the order process, the licensee declares acceptance of the offer, which results in a contract regarding the contents previously selected by the licensee.
2.3 The contract’s content will be stored by the licenser and sent to the licensee after conclusion of the contract , together with the present GTC and customer information in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter). The licensor shall not make the contract text accessible beyond this.
2.4 The licensee may correct his entries before submitting his order using the technical means provided by Etsy. The corrections can be made using the usual keyboard and mouse functions directly on the offer page in the corresponding input fields.
2.5 The contractual language is German or English.
3) Right to Cancel
Consumers are entitled to the right to cancel. Further information on the right to cancel can be found in the Seller’s instructions regarding the right to cancel.
4) Remuneration
4.1 For the granting of rights to the respective contents, the licensor shall receive a flat-rate license fee, the amount of which shall be determined in the respective article description.
4.2 The prices indicated by the licensor are total prices. Value Added Tax (VAT) is not charged because the Seller, as a small entrepreneur, is exempt from VAT.
4.3 For payments in countries outside the European Union, additional costs may be incurred in individual cases for which the Licensor is not responsible, and which are to be borne by the Licensee. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees).
4.4 The licensee has various payment options at his disposal, which are specified in the Etsy licensor's offer.
4.5 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 licensee to use various payment methods as part of the payment processing via Etsy Payments. For the processing of payments, Etsy UC or Etsy Inc. may use the payment services of third parties. The specific payment method(s) available will be displayed to the licensee in the respective offer of the licensor or in the context of order processing. Further information and the terms of use of Etsy Payments are available here: etsy.com/de/legal/etsy-payments/?ref=list
4.6 If payment in advance is agreed, payment is due immediately after conclusion of the contract.
5) Provision of content
Content is provided exclusively in electronic form by e-mail or download.
6) Granting rights of use for digital content
6.1 Unless otherwise stated in the licensor’s content description, the licensor grants the licensee the non-exclusive, temporarily and regionally unlimited right to use the supplied content for private and professional purposes.
6.2 Passing on of content or the production of copies to third parties outside the framework of these GTC is prohibited, unless the licensor has consented to the transfer of the license covered by this contract to third parties.
6.3 Pursuant to article 158, paragraph 1 German Civil Code, granting of rights will only be legally valid once the licensee has paid in full the sum owed. The licensor may provisionally permit the use of digital content covered by this contract already prior to that date. Such a provisional permit does not lead to a transfer of rights.
7) Liability for defects
Should the object of purchase be deficient, the statutory provisions shall apply.
8) Alternative Dispute Resolution
The Seller is neither obliged nor prepared to attend a dispute settlement procedure before an alternative dispute resolution entity.

We subsequently process the transmitted information for the proper handling of the withdrawal pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR and Art. 6 (1) point c GDPR, based on our statutory obligation to provide an electronic withdrawal function for remunerated distance contracts with consumers.

- Right to restricting of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR: You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data, as long as the accuracy of your data contested is verified, if you refuse to have your data deleted due to inadmissible data processing and instead request the restriction of the processing of your data, if you need your data to assert, exercise or defend legal claims after we no longer need this data because its purpose has been achieved, or if you have filed an objection for reasons of your particular situation, as long as it is not yet clear whether our justified reasons will prevail;

If there are legal storage periods for data that is processed within the framework of legal or similar obligations on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after expiry of the storage periods if it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of the contract and/or if we no longer have a justified interest in further storage.
When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject exercises his right of objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can provide compelling grounds for processing worthy of protection which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
Unless otherwise stated in the information contained in this declaration on specific processing situations, stored personal data will be deleted if it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
