3) Non-performance of the offer
In the event of typing or calculation errors as well as errors on the web-site, Clipping Bees shall not be obliged to accept the offer or to carry out the order.
4) Delivery, dispatch
Delivery of the order shall be done according to the provisions stipulated on the Clipping Bees web-site insofar as no deviating agreements have been reached between Orderer and Clipping Bees. Dispatches, including all and any returns, shall be charged to Orderer, an exception being returns as a result of a defect in the goods or incorrect delivery.

It shall be due for payment without deduction following receipt of the delivery and the invoice.

8) Right of revocation
A right to revocation of the order pursuant to the Remote Sales Act is ruled out, as the files generated are produced according to Orderer's requirements and are tailor-made to match its personal requirements.
9) Warranty
Clipping Bees shall assume liability according to the statutory provisions in the event of defects to the object insofar as nothing to the contrary has been determined below. Delivered goods shall only be defective if they do not correspond to the technical standard of digital photo processing. Differences in color between the images and the original image files cannot be technically avoided, they shall therefore not be deemed as defects. Likewise, a defect shall not exist if a loss of quality has been caused by defective quality (e.g. resolution of the original image files). A particular quality of the goods to be supplied is not agreed. Clipping Bees shall assume no guarantee. Orderer shall notify obvious defects which are striking without particular attention in writing without delay upon delivery, albeit no later than 2 days after receipt, stating the defect. Later claiming of obvious faults shall be ruled out. To the extent that the goods supplied are defective, Clipping Bees shall have the choice between reworking or replacement delivery. If the reworking or replacement delivery fails, Orderer can, at its discretion, demand reduction of the purchase price or withdrawal from the contract. Clipping Bees shall have three attempts at reworking or replacement delivery. However, claims to damages shall be ruled out to the extent that nothing to the contrary has been agreed in the aforementioned regulations.
