General Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Scope of application

1. The following General Terms and Conditions apply to the contractual relationship between the fashion consultancy “Kleiderordnung Berlin” represented by Martina Steinke (hereinafter referred to as “Kleiderordnung”), and client (hereinafter referred to as “client”), as well as all other services provided by Kleiderordnung.

2. Conditions that deviate from these are only valid if they are confirmed in writing by Kleiderordnung.

3. Insofar as the individual contract with the client contains written provisions that deviate from the following Terms and Conditions, these provisions shall take precedence.

§ 2 Scope of services and price

1. The scope of services shall be based on the written agreement with the client.

2. The respective price stated in the client’s quote shall apply. This stated price is binding and is understood to be the final price.

3. Due to the small business status in accordance with Section 19 (1) of the German VAT Act, Kleiderordnung does not charge value-added tax (VAT) and therefore does not list it as part of its fees.

§ 3 Formation of the contract

1. The offers shown on the www.kleiderordnung-berlin.de or kleiderordnung.berlin websites, or via other means of remote communication such as telephone, e-mail, or letter, represent a non-binding invitation to use Kleiderordnung’s services. Only when a booking is made by telephone, in writing, or by e-mail does client make a binding commitment to enter into a contract.

2. The acceptance of the quote from Kleiderordnung takes place by means of a confirmation letter. This confirmation letter shall list all service components, as well as the pricing details.

§ 4 Right of cancellation

Cancellation policy

Client has the right to cancel this contract within fourteen (14) days from the finalising of the contract, without having to give any reason. To exercise cancellation rights, client must inform Kleiderordnung (Kleiderordnung Berlin, Martina Steinke, Donaustr. 83, 12043 Berlin; tina@kleiderordnung.berlin) of client’s decision to withdraw from this contract by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail). Client can use the sample form below, which is not mandatory, or submit another type of clear declaration of their intent to cancel. If client makes use of this option, Kleiderordnung will promptly send client a confirmation of receipt of the cancellation request. In order to comply with the withdrawal period, sending the notification of client’s cancellation rights before the expiry of the cancellation period will be deemed sufficient.

Consequences of withdrawal

If client withdraws from this contract, Kleiderordnung must repay to the client all payments that it has received from client, within fourteen (14) days of the day when the notification of client’s cancellation request from this contract was received. For this repayment, Kleiderordnung will use the same means of payment that client used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with client; in no case will client be charged for this repayment.

Special notes

The right of cancellation is excluded if client has expressly requested that the service should begin before the expiry of the withdrawal period.
