Small business according to § 19 UStG

The term “us” refers to xX-Airbrush and Steffen Lüneburg as its owner. The “customer” is the consumer or a business. A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside his trade, business or profession. An entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

The resulting contract is about the provision of a service by xX-Airbrush. It usually concerns the individual surface design of objects. The terms “object” and “object to be designed” refer to those objects. The respective designs are referred to as “works” or “design”.

The General Terms and Conditions are abbreviated as “GTC”.

2. Scope of application

For all contracts and legal transactions concluded between xX-Airbrush and you as a customer.

3. Contractual partner, conclusion of contract

The contract is concluded as soon as the customer expressly confirms XX-Airbrush’s offer in writing (e.g. by e-mail) or verbally. With this confirmation, the customer also recognizes the applicable GTC.

4. Contract language, contract text storage

The languages available for the conclusion of the contract are German and English.

5. period of performance

We are obliged to provide the customer with an estimated time frame for the fulfillment period. We are obliged to commence fulfillment of the order as close as possible to the specified period. However, unforeseeable events may cause delays. We are therefore not obliged to adhere to this period. In the event of a longer fulfillment period, the customer shall have no claims for damages.

6. terms of delivery

The customer can bring the object to be designed directly to us by arrangement. At the customer’s request, the object can also be sent to us by post. After conclusion of the contract, we will send the object back to you by post. The customer always bears the shipping costs and the risk.

7. transport damage

If goods are delivered with obvious transport damage, please complain about such defects to the deliverer as soon as possible and contact us immediately. We are not liable for any transport damage caused by third party service providers.

8. Payment

A previously agreed down payment is due before we start work. The remaining amount is due after conclusion of the contract and must be paid within 10 days without deductions. Neither the deposit nor the payment of the balance is refundable. What happens if the contract is terminated prematurely can be seen under point 23 Premature termination of the contract.

Cash payment on collection/handover

9. Extraordinary costs

During the fulfillment of the order, there may be additional work steps or material

material costs that were not foreseeable before the start of the work. We are obliged to inform the customer of this before carrying out said work. We reserve the right to charge the customer for these extraordinary costs which are necessary for the fulfillment of the contract and which could not have been foreseen beforehand.

10. Retention of title

Goods created by us remain our property and in our possession until full payment has been received. If the object to be painted is made available by the customer, it shall become our property for the period of fulfillment of the order until final receipt of payment. The object will only be returned after all outstanding invoices have been settled without deductions. In the event of disputes and non-payment of invoices, we reserve the right to destroy the work performed by us without damaging the customer’s property.

11. Binding nature of deadlines

Both parties are obliged to keep agreed appointments. If one party is unable to attend, it is obliged to inform the other party as soon as possible.

12. copyright, publication

We have the sole copyright to all works, objects, designs and sketches created by us. We reserve the right to publish all objects designed and works created by us in the form of images and videos on the Internet, in print media and any other media. For example on https://xx-airbrush.com/, Instagram, TikTok and other providers.

13. trademark infringements, copyright infringements

The customer assures that all templates, logos, texts, graphics or other design requests provided by him are free of third-party rights (e.g. trademark, copyright or personal rights) or that he has the necessary rights of use.

The customer is obliged to clarify any legal issues or necessary authorizations on his own responsibility before placing the order.

The customer shall be solely liable for claims by third parties due to infringements of rights by content supplied by the customer. The contractor assumes no liability for this. XX-Airbrush is not obliged to check that the content is free of rights.

14. Liability

(1) Claims of the customer for damages are excluded. Excluded from this are claims for damages by the customer arising from injury to life, limb, health or from the breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) as well as liability for other damages based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the provider, its legal representatives or vicarious agents. Essential contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment is necessary to achieve the objective of the contract.

(2) In the event of a breach of material contractual obligations, the Provider shall only be liable for the foreseeable damage typical of the contract if this was caused by simple negligence, unless the Customer’s claims for damages are based on injury to life, limb or health.

(3) The restrictions of paragraphs 1 and 2 also apply in favor of the legal representatives and vicarious agents of the provider if claims are asserted directly against them.

(4) The provisions of the Product Liability Act remain unaffected.

15. motorcycle helmets, bicycle helmets, safety helmets

Upon request, we offer painting services for motorcycle helmets, bicycle helmets, riding helmets, and other protective helmets. However, most helmet manufacturers expressly prohibit any subsequent modification of their products—in particular, by applying stickers or paint. In such cases, the manufacturer’s warranty and all product liability claims against the manufacturer shall lapse, regardless of whether the helmets were painted or decorated with stickers by the manufacturer itself when new.

We would like to point out that a helmet that has been subsequently painted or otherwise modified may lose some or all of its original protective function. In addition, the modification may invalidate the helmet’s approval in accordance with applicable safety standards (e.g., ECE 22.05 or ECE 22.06). Use in road traffic or for other safety-related purposes is therefore at your own risk. The helmets we modify are intended exclusively as decorative objects. We accept no liability for damage, injury, or accidents in connection with a helmet painted by us if it continues to be worn or used contrary to our instructions. Any claims for damages are excluded in such cases.

Depending on the insurance contract, the entitlement to benefits from accident or liability insurance may also be limited if a helmet that has been modified retrospectively is used. It is the customer’s responsibility to clarify any insurance implications.

Information from selected manufacturers:

> Schuberth (service area, FAQ, helmets and visors):

“You can paint or airbrush your helmet with commercially available water-based automotive paint. Please do not use nitro-based paint, as this can damage the helmet shell. […] Please note that SCHUBERTH accepts no liability for this.”

https://www.schuberth.com/de/service

> Bell (Owner’s Manual, p. 12):

„Although the outer shell of the helmet […] can be painted with high-quality air-drying acrylic or polyurethane paint, it is recommended that the helmet be painted by an independent painter. Bell acknowledges that helmets are often decorated by independent painters, but there are cases of helmets being damaged during the painting process.“

Bell Racing Owner’s Manuals

https://www.bellracing.com/regulations/

> Shoei (German FAQ):

“In principle, it is possible to paint our helmets, but please only use water-based paints or acrylic paints. We cannot make any statements about the protective effect of the helmet after repainting and cannot guarantee this. Please note that painting the helmet will void its warranty.”

>List of Fines/ Bußgeldkatalog 

Is a helmet without ECE approval permitted?

Regarding the question of whether riding a motorcycle without an ECE 22/05-approved helmet is permitted, Section 21a(2) of the Road Traffic Regulations applies. It states:

Anyone who drives or rides on a motorcycle or an open three- or multi-wheeled motor vehicle with a maximum design speed exceeding 20 km/h must wear a suitable protective helmet while driving or riding.

The wording “a suitable protective helmet” indicates that, in general, a motorcycle helmet with ECE approval is not mandatory—otherwise, the phrase “an officially tested protective helmet” would be used instead.

Upon request, a suitable testing center can prepare a material report and check the protective function of the painted helmet. The customer is responsible for organizing this and covering all costs. Please contact us if you have any questions on this topic.

16. integration of the company logo

We reserve the right to integrate our company logo into the work in consultation with the customer. However, this will only be done with the agreement of both parties.

17. reservation of minor deviations

We reserve the right to deviate from the agreed design to a small extent. It is not possible to implement motifs and designs 100% within the scope of manual work. Minor imperfections are also normal in the context of manual work and do not automatically constitute a defect. This does not entitle the customer to refuse acceptance or to deductions from payment.

18. place of fulfillment

We reserve the right to freely choose the place of fulfillment of the contract. If the place of performance is bound by the contract to the customer’s location, the customer is obliged to grant us free access to the place of performance, household electricity and sockets (230V), running water, sanitary facilities and a parking lot. All resulting expenses shall be borne by the customer.

If the place of performance is bound to the customer by the contract, we charge a flat rate of EUR 0.30 per kilometer driven. From the 21st kilometer driven we charge 0.38 Euro per kilometer driven.

19. Liability for improper handling

We are not liable for any damage caused by improper handling, e.g. cleaning with unsuitable cleaning agents, of the finished object. When the finished work is handed over, the customer shall be informed about the proper handling.

20. Notification of defects, rectification, and warranty for work performed

(1.) Acceptance upon delivery

In the case of personal delivery, the work (e.g., a painted helmet or an airbrushed object) shall be deemed accepted if the customer inspects it and does not report any obvious defects. The customer is obliged to report any recognizable defects immediately upon delivery. If no report is made, obvious defects are deemed to have been approved (§ 640 BGB).

(2.) Hidden defects

Defects that were not apparent at the time of delivery (hidden defects) must be reported in writing immediately after discovery, at the latest within 3 calendar days. After this period has expired, the work is also deemed to have been approved in this respect. The burden of proof for a defect after acceptance lies with the customer (§ 363 BGB).

(3.) Rectification (subsequent performance)

In the event of a justified and timely notification of defects, rectification shall be carried out exclusively by xX-Airbrush within a reasonable period of time. xX-Airbrush is entitled to up to two attempts at rectification. Only if the rectification ultimately fails or is unreasonable can further legal rights such as reduction, withdrawal, or compensation be asserted (§§ 634 ff. BGB).

(4.) Artistic design

Minor deviations in color, motif, proportion, or surface structure that arise due to artistic design, materials used, or technical processes do not constitute a defect in the legal sense. Individual design work is always to be understood as unique.

(5.) Exclusion in the event of external influences

Claims for rectification shall lapse if the workpiece has been altered, repainted, or otherwise processed by third parties after delivery, or if damage has been caused by incorrect handling, weather influences, or improper cleaning.

21. Dispute resolution

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (OS), which you can find at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are not obliged or willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.

22. Cancellation policy

Right of withdrawal

Consumers have a fourteen-day right of withdrawal.

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the date of conclusion of the contract.

To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us (Steffen Lüneburg, Vierländer Damm 30, 20539 Hamburg, Deutschland, info@xx-airbrush.com) of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or e-mail). You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but this is not obligatory.

You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts – for the delivery of goods which 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, e.g. airbrush paintwork or paintwork made individually according to customer requirements. See § 312g para. 2 sentence 1 no. 1 BGB.

To comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient that you send the notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the withdrawal period.

Consequences of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged any fees for this repayment.

If you have requested that the services should commence during the withdrawal period, you must pay us a reasonable amount corresponding to the proportion of the services already provided by the time you inform us of the exercise of the right of withdrawal with regard to this contract compared to the total scope of the services provided for in the contract.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to the following contracts:

Contracts for the provision of services, including financial services, the price of which depends on fluctuations in the financial market over which the entrepreneur has no influence and which may occur within the withdrawal period, in particular services in connection with shares, units in open-ended investment funds within the meaning of Section 1 (4) of the German Investment Code and other tradable securities, foreign exchange, derivatives or money market instruments.

The following applies to a contract for the provision of services that obliges you to pay a price: The right of withdrawal also expires (prematurely) when the service has been provided in full if you have expressly agreed before the start of the service that we will start providing the service before the end of the withdrawal period and have confirmed your knowledge that your right of withdrawal expires when we have fulfilled the contract in full.

23. early termination of the contract

Both parties have the right to terminate the contract prematurely before successful fulfillment of the contract objective.

In the event of premature termination of the contract by us, we are obliged to reimburse the customer for all payments made. If the object to be designed was already the property of the customer before the contract was concluded, we are obliged to return the object to the customer. If the object has already been processed by us, we are obliged to restore the original condition at our expense. If the object to be designed was already in our possession before the contract was concluded, it shall also remain in our possession. The customer has no right to any other compensation.

In the event of premature termination of the contract by the customer, we shall be obliged to return the object to be designed to the customer. However, this is only the case if the object to be designed was already the property of the customer before the contract was concluded. Otherwise, the object shall remain in our possession. We are not obliged to restore the original condition of the object or to pay for the restoration of the original condition by third parties. The customer has no right to any other compensation. The deposit and all other payments are non-refundable. If the down payment already made does not do justice to the work already carried out by us and the material costs incurred, the customer shall be obliged to pay us a reasonable sum. We shall determine the amount of the appropriate sum. Under no circumstances can this sum be higher than the sum agreed in the contract.

24. information on data processing

We collect customer data in the course of establishing contact and processing contracts. In doing so, we observe the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act and the Telemedia Act. Without the customer’s consent, we will only collect, process or use the customer’s inventory and usage data insofar as this is necessary for the processing of the contractual relationship and for the use and billing of telemedia.

Without the customer’s consent, we will not use the customer’s data for the purposes of advertising, market or opinion research.
