1.3. These General Terms and Conditions deem a consumer to be any natural person who completes a legal transaction for purposes that are not attributable to any professional activity of either a commercial or self-employed nature they engage in. (§ 1 KSCHG)
1.4. Neither the customer’s own terms and conditions nor any other terms and conditions that deviate from these General Terms and Conditions will be honored unless ATELIER ALLURE expressly consents, by written confirmation to the validity thereof.
2. Offers, service descriptions
2.1 The display of products in the online shop is to be equated with an invitation to place an order and not a legally binding offer.
ATELIER ALLURE offers the customer pieces of jewelry in the online store that are manufactured according to individual selection or determination by the customer according to customer specifications and tailored to the personal needs of the customer. The pieces of jewelry are not prefabricated and are manufactured only after order, confirmation of order acceptance and receipt of payment specifically for the customer.
2.2. Service descriptions included in catalogs or in printed materials as well as on the websites of ATELIER ALLURE are prepared under the aspects of highest possible care, but are not to be equated with either a promise or a guarantee. Errors excepted.
2.3. The images of the products offered may naturally show differences in color or in the “look and feel” of the material. With regard to the color tones, it is expressly pointed out that these depend on the respective screen setting. The highest priority has been given to ensuring that the illustrations are as faithful as possible to the original (e.g. by example photos); any guarantee in this respect is excluded by mutual agreement.
3. Order Process, Conclusion of the Contract
3.1. The customer is free to select the products of their choice from the product range of ATELIER ALLURE and gather them together in a so-called “basket” using the [Add to cart] button. The customer can then proceed to their basket and amend their selection as required, for example by removing a product from the basket.
3.2. Once they are happy with their selection the customer can proceed to the final step using the [Proceed to checkout] button to complete the ordering process.
3.3. When the customer clicks the [Place binding order] button they make a binding request to buy the goods currently in their basket.
In this step, the customer confirms that she/ he has read and agrees to these General Terms and Conditions of ATELIER ALLURE (incl. the information on cancellation policy by ticking the appropriate box.
Prior to order placement, the customer is able to view and amend their order data at any time and can also use their browser’s “Back” function to return to their basket or abort the order process. Essential entries are marked with an asterisk (*).
3.4. ATELIER ALLURE responds by emailing the customer an automatic confirmation of receipt; the email recapitulates the order placed by the customer and can be printed using the “Print” function (order confirmation). The automatic confirmation of receipt only documents the receipt of the customer’s order by ATELIER ALLURE and is not to be equated with acceptance of the application (confirmation of order acceptance).
ATELIER ALLURE reserves the right to decide freely whether to accept the application. A binding purchase contract is only deemed to be concluded if within 5 days ATELIER ALLURE confirmed the acceptance of the application by sending the customer an e-mail with the confirmation of order acceptance and the invoice (confirmation of order acceptance)
The contract will only be concluded for the goods which are available and listed in the confirmation of order acceptance and the invoice.
3.5. In the case of payment in advance, the contract is concluded with the provision of the bank details and request for payment sent with the confirmation of order acceptance and invoice by ATELIER ALLURE.
If, despite being due and despite the customer being sent a reminder, payment is not received by ATELIER ALLURE within 7 calendar days of the sending of the confirmation of order acceptance, ATELIER ALLURE reserves the right to withdraw from the contract thus rendering the order invalid and in turn freeing ATELIER ALLURE from their obligation to supply.
In this case, the client will be informed of the withdrawal of ATELIER ALLURE in writing within 5 days after the due date of payment.
At this point, the order is considered to have been brought to a conclusion with no further consequences for either the customer or ATELIER ALLURE.

4.2. Any changes (e.g.subsequent ring width changes) requested after the order has been processed and delivery has taken place will be charged separately by ATELIER ALLURE.

If the customer notifies ATELIER ALLURE of a damaged or defective product immediately upon its receipt, including photographic documentation of the damage, ATELIER ALLURE will contact the client and make the necessary arrangements with the customer to have the damaged or otherwise, defective product returned. ATELIER ALLURE shall then inspect the returned product in order to determine whether responsibility lies with ATELIER ALLURE or the customer.
If the damage/defect has been caused by ATELIER ALLURE, the product will be replaced by ATELIER ALLURE as quickly as possible. The new product shall then be shipped to the delivery address at the expense of ATELIER ALLURE.

You will be deemed to have complied with the aforementioned cancellation period if your letter, fax or email notifying us of the use of your right of cancellation was sent prior to the expiry of the cancellation period.
Consequences of cancellation
If you cancel this contract we are required to pay back all payments we have received from you (including shipping costs but excluding additional costs incurred as a result of you selecting a different shipping option to the standard, lowest cost shipping option we offer) without delay and within a maximum period of fourteen days from the date on which we receive your letter, fax or email notifying us of the cancellation of the contract.

ATELIER ALLURE will make the repayment only after receipt of the returned goods.
You are required to return the goods to us without delay and within a maximum period of fourteen days from the date on which you notify us of the cancellation of this contract.

You are liable for the direct cost of returning the goods.
You are only liable for any depreciation in the value of the goods if such depreciation is attributable to the non-essential handling of the goods by you for purposes other than the verification of nature, properties and functionality thereof. Please avoid damage and contamination of the goods. Otherwise, a value replacement can be claimed in the event of a return.

This applies expressly to all pieces of jewelry in the online shop that are marked with the express note “non-refundable” (see the corresponding explanation for the respective product).
