1) Scope of Application

1. These Terms and Conditions shall apply to all contracts concluded between the platform pixi.co, through Paket 24 GmbH, represented by the managing director Mr. Marc-Andre M. Ballo, Regattastr. 55, Tel. +49 – (0)30-3643632-0 (hereinafter referred to as “Supplier”) and the Client referred to in Clause 1.2
1. The following General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to the business relationship between the Supplier (the Pixico website) and the Client. The GTC apply in their version valid at the time of commissioning. The inclusion of the Client's own conditions is herewith objected to, unless other terms have been stipulated.
2. A consumer pursuant to these Terms and Conditions is any individual who concludes a legal transaction for purposes which are wholly or mainly outside that individual’s trade, business, craft or profession. A trader pursuant to these Terms and Conditions is any individual, juristic person or judicable partnership that in concluding a legal transaction is acting in the execution
of its commercial or independent business activity.

3. Incidentally, the following definitions apply to the interpretation of the GTC, unless the context otherwise requires:
a. 3D Visualisation(s): refers to the conversion of technical drawings and two-dimensional data to three-dimensional models or rooms. All modelling steps (elements) as well as all associated dimensions (parameters) will be saved individually. As such, models can be subsequently influenced by changing the input values in a controlled manner. After setting up the light and the camera, the scene is then rendered into a 2D image or exported as a 360-degree view (sequence of approximately 40 individual images) or as a video.
b. Product and services: the services and / or products offered by the provider in accordance with the website or other advertising materials, in particular 3D visualisations.
c. Website: the website provided by the Supplier - www.pixi.co
d. Data: pictures, drawings, sketches, layouts, different views of the product, site plans, 3D models and any other documentation that the Client provies the Supplier with for the purpose of creating the product, in particular the 3D visualisation.

2) Conclusion of the Contract

1. The service descriptions outlined on the Supplier’s website do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Supplier, but merely serve the purpose of submitting a binding offer by the Client.
2. The Client may submit the offer by the online order form integrated into the Supplier's online shop by doing the following:
a. The Client can register once or – if a registration already exists – log on to the Supplier’s website using the login data as chosen by the Client. The Client also has the option to go through the electronic ordering process as a guest, without having to register.
b. The Client can choose from the range of services offered by the Supplier. The Client can also choose from a range of payment methods (Clause 6). In addition, the Client has the opportunity to specify which service(s) are required from the Supplier in more detail.
c. After having placed the selected services in the virtual basket, selecting the payment method (Clause6), going through the electronic ordering process, and by clicking the button finalising the order process, the Client submits a legally binding offer of contract with regard to the services contained in the virtual basket. Before submitting the binding offer the Client can amend and view the data at any time using the usual keyboard and mouse functions. However, the application can only be submitted and transmitted if the Client has accepted these Terms and Conditions by clicking on the button to agree to and accept the Terms and Conditions of sale. By doing so the Client is also agreeing to the terms of the Cancellation Policy (Clause 9).
d. The Supplier then sends the Client an automatic email to acknowledge receipt of the order. The Client’s order and chosen payment method are contained in the email for the Client to review. The Client can print this email by selecting the function “Print”. The automatic receipt of acknowledgement email merely documents that the Client’s order has been received by the Supplier and does not constitute acceptance of the order. It is the Client`s responsibility to ensure that the email address he/she provides for the order processing is accurate so that emails sent by the Supplier can be received at this address. Particularly, it is the Client`s responsibility, if SPAM filters are used, to ensure that all emails sent by the Seller or by third parties commissioned by the Seller with the order processing can be delivered.
e. After clicking the button that completes the ordering process the Client has the option to upload up to 10 files, based on which the Supplier will provide the service. The files can be uploaded in the following forms: JPEG, .GIF, .PNG, .EPS, .BMP, .TIFF or .PSD and can each be up to 10MB in size. Sending the files using other forms of data transmission, such as DVD, USB stick or a download link sent by email, are only permitted with the prior consent of the Supplier.
f. In addition, the Client may also submit the offer to the Supplier by telephone, fax, email or post. In such cases, the Client will be sent a link by email, which the Client must click to confirm submission of the offer and to validate the email address. Once the offer and the email address have been confirmed, the ordering process as described in these Terms and Conditions shall apply accordingly for the rest of the order process, unless otherwise agreed by the Client.
3. The Supplier will check whether the requested service can be provided after payment has been received for the service commissioned by the Client and the Supplier has the received the files that the product is to be based on. The decision will be made within 2 working days. The Supplier will inform the client if the files transmitted by the Client cannot be used for 3D visualisation and if the 3D visualisation is not possible or only at a higher cost. If creating the product will entail additional effort and it’s possible that it’ll cost more, the Supplier will inform the Client, who can decide if he/she wants to continue using the service. If a contract is not confirmed by the Supplier, as outlined in paragraph 4, or the Client rejects the additional expenditure and thus the execution of the order, or the Client withdraws the offer before the Supplier has begun or the Supplier refuses to execute the order, the Supplier will refund the amount paid by the Client by the same payment method as chosen by the Client for the original payment.
4. The contract is only concluded when the Supplier sends the Client a declaration of acceptance in a separate email (order confirmation email). In this email, or in a separate email, the text of the contract (consisting of the order itself, the Terms and Conditions and the order confirmation) will be sent to the Client in text form (e.g. email, fax or letter). This email confirms the contract. The text of the contract will be protected in compliance with the Data Protection Act. The Client has the opportunity to print out a copy of the Terms and Conditions, as well as the order with all the accompanying files, during the order process. As long as the Client has created an online account he/she can check the order and the Terms and Conditions free of charge at any time.

5. The contract for orders placed on the Supplier’s website is concluded by:

3) Supplier's services

1. After the contract has been confirmed, the payment has been received in full and the Client has sent the Supplier all the necessary files, the Supplier will undertake to provide the service that has been commissioned. If a 3D visualisation has been selected by the Client a 3D visualisation will be the service that’s provided. The Client has different options and services to choose from.
2. Unless otherwise agreed with the Client, the product will be sent to the email address provided by the Client in the following formats via a downloadable link:
1. a. a 2D-Bild in FullHD (1920 × 1080 Pixels), 72dpi, RGB, JPEG compression 8.
b. Videos will be produced in FullHD: video format .mpg, .mpeg, .mp4., .mov., .avi. or WMV.
c. 360 degree views will be produced with single pictures, GIF or video format (see paragraph above).
3D applications, raw data and / or 3D models are not released to the Client and are not part of the service provided (see Clause 5, paragraph 7).
1. The Supplier will store the product for at least 30 days, during which time the Client must download the Supplier’s product. A longer period of storage time will only be guaranteed after individual agreement. After the storage period expires, the Supplier will send a reminder and a further 30 days extended storage period will be granted. The product will be deleted after 30 days, provided that the reminder regarding the deletion of the product after the deadline expires has been sent. The Client’s right to remuneration remains unaffected upon deletion of the product.
2. The Supplier is free to use 3rd parties in order to provide services.
3. Delivery times specified by the supplier are calculated from the date that the contract is confirmed. Insofar as no deviating delivery time has been specified for the chosen service, or a different agreement has been made with the Client, the delivery time is 30 working days (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays excluded), as long as the Client‘s obligation to cooperate has been fulfilled.
4. The Supplier bears no responsibility for delivery delays and cost increases caused by the breach of the Client’s obligation to cooperate, in particular due to incorrect, incomplete or subsequently changed information and / or files. The Client shall bear the additional costs.
5. The Client will submit files, on the basis of which the product (in particular a 3D visualisation) is to be created upon. The Supplier will create the product with only the features that are clearly visible on the transmitted files, unless otherwise agreed with the customer. Upon receipt of the product and prior to the use of the product in accordance with Clause 3, paragraph 8, the Client must check whether all the necessary features and / or functionalities contained in the files that he/she transmitted are visible in the product. If the Client is a consumer, the Client is merely requested to check the product and communicate as described above; if the consumer does not comply, this has no effect on their legal or contractual liability for defects.
6. If the product is flawed or if the Client believes there is a need to change it, he/she must notify the Supplier within 7 working days of receipt of the product. If the Client is a consumer, the Client is merely requested to check the product and communicate as described above; if the consumer does not comply, this has no effect on their legal or contractual liability for defects.
7. If the Client informs the Supplier that he/she is not satisfied with the product, the Supplier will make corrections according to the Clients specifications. 2 corrections are included and if this number is exceeded, the Client can either opt to have a refund or a subsequent order will be agreed at the Client’s expense. Different versions of the product are not included in the scope of the service and must be ordered separately. The statutory warranty rights remain unaffected.

4) Obligations of the client, granting of rights, legal guarantee

1. A prerequisite for the Supplier’s service, particularly for a 3D visualisation, is the Client sending the object(s) that have to be represented in 3D as files via the Supplier’s website. A maximum of 10 files should be provided by the Client, each of which may not be bigger than 10MB. They must be sent in one or more of the following file formats: JPEG, .GIF, .PNG, .EPS, .BMP, .TIFF or.PSD. If the files are sent via DVD, the Client’s FTP server, email, USB stick, a mobile hard drive, the Supplier may charge additional costs for transferring the files to the Client’s account. These costs will be discussed with the Client beforehand. The Supplier reserves the right to reject individual files that do not meet the quality standards that are required to provide the service. The Supplier will inform the Client in such cases.
2. All files and other information provided by the Client for the creation of the product shall be provided in a legible and compatible digital form, before the Supplier begins work. These files are a binding apart of the contract. The Supplier will not be held responsible if the created work is incorrect and / or incomplete due to gaps or incomplete information. If the Client desires a special or specific background and / or other elements (e.g. elaborate furniture, certain people, etc.) or if certain aspects of the 3D visualisation of the object should be given special attention, the Client should request this during the ordering process and specify the request in more detail. The Client should send the relevant files to support the request.
3. The Client transfers the Supplier the right of use and the right to edit for the respective commissioned services, in particular for 3D visualisations, as well as the rights that the Supplier requires for the use of the finished product for reference and advertising purposes (see Clause 5, paragraph 6).
4. The Client guarantees the Supplier copyright, trademark, design and personal rights, as well as other required rights, which are relevant to the respective commissioned services, in particular for 3D visualisations, as well as rights to use the finished product for reference and promotional purposes.
5. The Client assures that the contractual service from the Supplier and the use of the finished product for reference and advertising purposes do not violate the rights of any third parties involved. In this respect the customer indemnifies the Supplier, his legal representatives and his employees at the first request from all third party claims and undertakes to compensate them for any damage that may be caused relating to the rights of a third party. This includes legal defence costs (lawyer and court fees).
6. The Client may not grant others access to his account or sell or transfer the account to another person. It is not permitted to use false or misleading information when creating the account.

5) Transfer of rights (licence)

1. The Supplier offers a Standard Licence (Clause 5, paragraph 3) or an Exclusive Licence (Clause 5, paragraph 4). In contrast to the Standard Licence, if an exclusive licence is provided, the Supplier will not use the so-called scene of the product (e.g. 3D visualisation without visualisation of the Client’s visualised object, especially the background of the 3D visualisation) for other orders and/or clients.
2. The right of use granted by the Supplier applies conditionally in the event that payment of the agreed remuneration is made in full. The proper naming of the author according to Clause 5, paragraph 8 is only after the acceptance of the product. If remuneration is refunded (e.g. the Client withdraws from the contract) the Client transfers all rights already granted under these Terms and Conditions back to the Supplier. There is no need for a separate declaration from the Client, the Supplier accepts the transfer of rights by agreeing to these Terms and Conditions.
3. Standard Licence

All documents, electronic data and files produced or used by the Supplier during the commissioning process remain the property of the Supplier (in particular all raw data, sketches, drafts, production data, 3D data, textures, 3D applications) with both the Standard Licence and the Exclusive Licence. In this respect, no rights are granted.
4. In both the Standard and Exclusive Licence, the Supplier is to be named in the legal notice of the Client’s website as follow:
Pixico, www.pixi.co

1. The Supplier remains entitled but not obligated to take suitable legal action to defend against claims from third parties and / or in the case of any unauthorized use of the Supplier’s product by third parties. This applies to both Standard and Exclusive Licences. Insofar as the Client requires rights to be granted, the Client grants these to the Supplier.
2. The Supplier’s work is protected under copyright law as personal, intellectual creations, images and / or designs. Insofar as the necessary requirements for protection are not met, the regulations of the relevant protective laws shall be deemed to have been contractually agreed.

4. The payment for the services is due immediately after the automated receipt of acknowledgement email, unless otherwise agreed with the Client. . If the due date of the payment is determined according to the calendar, the Client falls in to arrears by missing the due date, at the earliest 14 days after the conclusion of the contract. In such cases the Client hast to pay the Supplier default interest of 15% above the basic interest rate. If the Client is not a consumer, he/she must pay the Supplier default interest of 9% above the basic interest rate plus a lump sum of £40. The Client’s obligation to pay default interest does not exclude the Supplier’s right to claim for further damages.

7) Warranty and Guarantee

1. The Supplier is liable for material and legal defects according to the relevant legal regulations.

Statutory limitation periods for the right of recourse remain unaffected for traders.
1. The aforementioned limitations of liability and limitation periods do not apply:

11) Place of jurisdiction and applicable law

a. The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany apply to contracts between the Supplier and the Client, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
