General Terms

and Conditions

 

for all goods and services available via the Picmentum app (produced and made available by cocologics GmbH, Cannabichstr. 22, 68176 Mannheim) – hereinafter referred to as: “Picmentum”.

Art. 1 Area of application

These General Terms and Conditions apply to all claims arising from agreements entered between Picmentum and the client (hereinafter referred to as “the Client”) via the Picmentum iOS app valid at the time of ordering. Picmentum enables the Client to print digital content. The following General Terms and Conditions and the text of the agreement are in German and can be downloaded by the Client, stored in his RAM and printed out. They may also be requested in digital or written form by sending an e-mail to info@cocologics.com.

Art. 2 Contract conclusion

  1. The Client may place orders with Picmentum by selecting existing digital images (“Image Files”) to create printouts of them. In order to do so, the Client must add the Image Files to the app using the plus button (“+”); the photos will then be automatically placed in a so-called shopping cart. The Image Files may be viewed as individual images (“Gallery”) or as thumbnails in tabular form (“Shopping Cart”). The Image Files may also be removed from the Shopping Cart view. The object of the contract shall be the printed work in the previously selected configuration. Pressing the button “Proceed to checkout” takes the Client to a form where they can select a payment option and enter the shipping address. Pressing the “Buy now” button commits the Client to buying or ordering the items in the Shopping Cart. Before submitting the order, the Client can change or view their details at any time and can correct input errors before confirming the order (e.g. the Client can switch to edit mode by clicking the Image File in order to change the image size and/or material; cancel the order or upload process; delete items from the Shopping Cart by clicking the “Edit” button). To place and submit the order, the Client must click the button “Accept General Terms and Conditions” to accept these terms and conditions. The order is then deemed to have been placed.
  2. Picmentum will then send an automated confirmation of receipt of the order, which the Client receives in the app, or the app’s inbox (“My orders”). Here, the Client’s order will be listed, showing the current order status with an option to print the orders out. Once the order has been submitted for shipping, the tracking number is also displayed to allow the shipment to be tracked. The automated confirmation of receipt merely confirms that the Client’s order has been received by Picmentum and does not constitute acceptance of the order. The contract shall not come into effect until Picmentum has confirmed acceptance of the order, which will be communicated by updating the order status “Currently being processed” (order confirmation). The contract text (consisting of the order, General Terms and Conditions and Order confirmation) shall be available to Picmentum’s customers in a durable form (in the app under the menu items “General Terms and Conditions” and “Order confirmation”) at all times (Contract confirmation). The contract text will be saved in accordance with the data protection requirements and may also be requested in digital or written form by sending an e-mail to info@cocologics.com . The Client will be informed when their order is shipped via an in-app message as soon as Picmentum has transferred the goods to the shipping company. If the Client has enabled push notifications in the app, these messages will also be sent via push notification.
  3. To conclude any type of contract, the Client needs an iCloud user account and must be logged in. Also, the iCloud service “iCloud Drive” must be activated to allow images to be transferred to Picmentum. Please also note that to preview the digital images, the app also needs access to your iPhone’s/iPad’s integrated camera and the image album.
  4. The contract shall be concluded in German.
  5. The contracting party shall be cocologics GmbH. The prints will be produced and shipped by the partner company Erler + Pless GmbH, Holstenhofweg 43, 22043 Hamburg, Germany.

Art. 3 Services, prices

  1. Picmentum’s main contractual duty is to produce and assume ownership of the prints ordered. The rights of use shall remain unaffected.
  2. Picmentum strives to achieve the highest possible level of color fidelity of the prints. Here, the quality and color values of the photographs delivered by the Client shall be decisive. Please note that the color settings of your display may vary. Slight production-related color variations are also possible, especially depending on the paper chosen or the manufacturing process.
  3. Where the Client has used the AR feature to select the measurements of the prints, the AR feature does not replace a ruler. Measurements obtained using the AR feature may deviate by 5 to 10%. Another source of error may be the (virtual) recognition of the space and distances. Orders should therefore be based on measurements taken personally.
  4. The overall price of the goods or the classes, including all price components and payment options and details, shall be based on the information provided during the order process. All prices are final prices plus shipping costs and statutory VAT. Invoices shall be due and payable immediately upon receipt.
  5. The Client may choose between the following payment options: PayPal or credit card.

Art. 4 Delivery, shipment

  1. Shipping costs can be found under the app menu item “Packaging and shipping”. Orders will be shipped within 5 to 10 working days of receipt of payment. Shipping shall be via GLS unless otherwise agreed, or if Picmentum chooses another shipping provider due to the size of the products ordered. Picmentum shall bear the shipping risk in the event that the Client is a consumer.
  2. If the Client’s chosen product is not available at the time the order is placed, Picmentum shall notify the Client of this as soon as possible in the order confirmation. Should the product be permanently unavailable, Picmentum shall not confirm the order. No contract shall be entered into in this case. If the product ordered by the Client is only temporarily unavailable, Picmentum will also inform the Client of this fact immediately in the order confirmation.
  3. Delays in shipment of more than two weeks shall entitle the Client to withdraw from the contract. The statutory right of withdrawal (see Art. 5 of these Terms and Conditions) shall remain unaffected. In this case, Picmentum shall also be entitled to withdraw from the contract. Should this be the case, Picmentum will reimburse the Client for any payments already made by the Client.

Art. 5 Right of withdrawal for consumer contracts

Any contract entered into between Picmentum and the Client using the app regarding the delivery of goods or booking of a service is considered to be a distance contract within the meaning of Sec. 312 c, para. 1, of the German Civil Code (BGB). The Client, a consumer within the meaning of Sec. 13 of the German Civil Code, shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract according to Sections 312g, 355 of the German Civil Code (Consumer withdrawal from distance contracts). Pursuant to Sec. 13 of the German Civil Code, a consumer is any natural person who enters into/ concludes a contract for purposes that can be attributed neither to their commercial business activity nor their self-employed occupation. Further details on the consumer’s right of withdrawal can be found in the withdrawal instructions below. Written withdrawal instructions will be sent to the customer during the order confirmation process, at the latest upon order confirmation. The Client may exercise their right of withdrawal using the withdrawal form.

Withdrawal and consequences

We will use the same form of payment to refund you as you used for the original transaction, unless otherwise agreed. Under no circumstances shall we charge any additional fees for the refund. We are entitled to refuse to refund the payment until we have received the returned goods or until you have provided proof that the goods have been returned, whichever is earlier.

The Client shall only be liable to compensate cocologics GmbH for any loss in value of the goods if such loss in value can be attributed to you and your unreasonable handling of the goods in connection with verification of the condition, properties and functionality of the goods.

Picmentum uses customer data without the express consent of the Client exclusively for the purpose of fulfillment and processing of the order; in particular, the data will be forwarded to the print shop Erler + Pless GmbH. Once the contract has been concluded and processed and payment has been received in full, your data will be locked to prevent further use and deleted after expiry of all tax and commerce related rules and regulations, unless you have specifically consented to the further use of your data. Picmentum will not forward customer data to third parties or use it for advertising mailings without explicit consent being granted beforehand. Please see our Privacy Policy for further information.

All contracts between Picmentum and the Client shall be exclusively subject to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and to the exclusion of the Vienna Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
