Terms and Conditions

1. Scope

The following General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply exclusively to all deliveries from SewSimple GmbH (hereinafter referred to as SewSimple). Deviating terms of the customer shall not become part of the contract.

2. Offer, Conclusion of Contract

The offers on the website do not constitute binding offers, but rather invitations to submit purchase offers. Only the ordering of goods by clicking the "Buy Now" button constitutes a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract. The contract is formed upon the sending of a confirmation email within one week.

3. Prices, Payment Terms, Offsetting, and Retention

3.1 The prices stated on the product pages include the statutory value-added tax.

3.2 Payment is generally made via PayPal. SewSimple reserves the right to accept further payment methods.

3.3 PayPal is an online payment service provided by PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. & Cie, S.C.A. Customers will be redirected to PayPal after placing their order. Further information can be found at www.paypal.de.

3.4 Offsetting is only permitted for undisputed or legally established claims. Retention of payments by the customer due to counterclaims from other contractual relationships is excluded.

4. Delivery / Download

4.1 The purchased item is provided to the customer as an eBook (in PDF file format) for download. A PDF is a file without copy protection. The download link will be transmitted via email. The link is generally available to the customer for an unlimited period. SewSimple reserves the right to deactivate the link after approximately one month. Customers should perform the download promptly.

4.2 To read the eBooks, the customer requires appropriate reading software (e.g., Adobe Reader, available for Windows and Mac). The provision of this software is not a service provided by SewSimple. No additional shipping costs apply. Any telecommunications fees incurred during the download are to be borne by the customer.

4.3 After the purchase, customers may be asked via email to provide a rating.

5. Usage Rights

5.1 The items offered in the SewSimple web shop are protected by copyright and/or industrial property rights.

5.2 Upon download, the customer does not receive ownership of the item, but rather a simple, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right to reproduce the item for personal use by creating the respective textile. Personal use does not include, and therefore prohibits, commercial or industrial production of the respective textile. Any use beyond this requires the prior consent of SewSimple.

For commercial use, a license can be purchased on the respective product page. The License Terms apply.

Except for usage acts permitted under copyright law, the customer is not permitted to edit, modify, reproduce, distribute, exhibit, and/or publicly perform the item obtained via download. In particular, it is prohibited to make the item publicly accessible on the internet or in other networks.

6. Right of Withdrawal

There is no right of withdrawal for SewSimple items. Pursuant to Section 356 (5) of the German Civil Code (BGB), the right of withdrawal for a contract for the delivery of digital content not on a physical medium expires if the entrepreneur has begun performance of the contract after the consumer has given their express consent.

Digital products are excluded from exchange. Paper patterns can be returned at the customer's expense, but only the purchase price for the paper pattern will be refunded, not for any digital components.

7. Warranty

7.1 In the event of defective goods, the customer is entitled to supplementary performance, withdrawal, or price reduction in accordance with statutory provisions.

7.2 The limitation period for warranty claims for delivered goods is two years from receipt of the goods in dealings with consumers. In dealings with non-consumers, the limitation period is one year.

7.3 Warranties exist only if descriptions of the goods have been expressly designated in writing as a warranty.

8. Liability

8.1 SewSimple is liable without limitation for injury to life, body, or health. In cases of impossibility, delay, or breach of essential contractual obligations, SewSimple is liable for slight negligence limited to typical, foreseeable damages. Otherwise, SewSimple is not liable for slight negligence. These restrictions also apply to its governing bodies and vicarious agents.

8.2 Data communication via the internet cannot be guaranteed to be error-free and/or available at all times according to the current state of technology. SewSimple is not liable for the constant availability of the web shop.

9. Contract Language, Applicable Law, Place of Jurisdiction

9.1 The contract is concluded exclusively in German. All disputes arising from the legal relationship between the customer and SewSimple are subject to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. For consumers, this only applies insofar as mandatory provisions of their home country do not provide greater protection. The UN Sales Convention is excluded.

9.2 For private end consumers without residence in the EU, the place of jurisdiction is SewSimple's registered office.

10. General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)

This regulation ensures that all products placed on the market in the EU are subject to an established safety standard.

SewSimple GmbH confirms that the paper patterns offered in the shop are considered safe according to Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2023/988. They pose only minimal risks during normal or foreseeable use.

Identified safety risks:

  • Risk of cuts from paper and cardboard edges (paper patterns, stationery, envelopes, boxes)
  • Risk of injury from sharp wires or staples (paper patterns)
  • Paper is highly flammable (all printed products and packaging)

In general, our paper patterns are packaged in boxes or envelopes. When unpacking, there is generally a risk of cuts from the paper and cardboard edges.
