1. Scope

These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "T&Cs") apply to all contracts between Stoff³ Textilveredelung, owner Rudolf Latikan, Dennhäuser Str. 116, 34134 Kassel, Germany (hereinafter the "Contractor") and the customer (hereinafter the "Client"), both towards business customers (companies, clubs, public authorities) and towards private customers (consumers within the meaning of Section 13 of the German Civil Code, BGB).

Deviating, conflicting or supplementary general terms and conditions of the Client only become part of the contract if the Contractor has expressly agreed to their application in writing.

2. Conclusion of Contract

Offers made by the Contractor are subject to change and non-binding. A contract is only concluded upon the Contractor's written order confirmation or upon commencement of the performance of the commissioned work.

3. Prices and Payment

For business customers, all prices are in euros net plus statutory VAT (currently 19%). For private customers, the prices stated are final prices including statutory VAT.

  • Minimum order value: EUR 30.00 net
  • Payment terms: payment in advance. Individual arrangements (e.g. 50% deposit, 50% after 2 weeks) are possible by quote.
  • 3% early-payment discount for payment within 7 days

VAT ID: DE279708062

4. Production Tolerances

In garment decoration, production-related tolerances are customary in the industry and do not constitute a defect:

  • Colour deviations: deviations of up to 10% from templates or on-screen representations are customary in the industry and do not constitute grounds for complaint.
  • Placement tolerances: for the positioning of finishes (embroidery, print), deviations of +/- 2 cm are permissible.
  • Spoilage rate: a spoilage rate of up to 3% of the order quantity is possible for production reasons.
  • Quantity tolerance: deviations of +/- 5% of the ordered quantity are permissible and will be invoiced accordingly.

5. Samples and Proofs

  • On request, we produce a physical single sample (press proof) at the regular single-item price.
  • If an order is subsequently placed, the sample price is credited against the volume price of the order.
  • Digital previews (mockups) serve for orientation only and are not colour-binding.
  • The creation of embroidery files (punching/digitising) is charged separately.

6. Delivery and Performance

Delivery times are non-binding unless a fixed date has been expressly agreed in writing. Partial deliveries are permissible.

Business customers: shipping is at the Client's cost and risk.

Private customers: the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration only passes to the consumer upon handover of the goods to the consumer (Section 475 (2) BGB). The shipping risk is borne by the Contractor.

7. Retention of Title

The delivered goods remain the property of the Contractor until all claims arising from the contractual relationship have been paid in full.

8. Warranty and Liability

Business customers: the Client must inspect the goods without delay upon receipt. Notices of defects must be given in writing without delay, at the latest within 7 working days of delivery.

Private customers: the statutory warranty periods apply to consumers.

In the event of a defect, the Contractor has the right to cure (subsequent performance). Only after cure has failed is the Client entitled to a price reduction or to rescind the contract.

Business customers: the Contractor's liability is limited to intent and gross negligence.

Private customers: the consumer's statutory warranty and liability rights remain unaffected.

9. Copyright and Customer Artwork

The Client warrants that they hold all rights required for the templates, logos, designs and motifs they provide and that their use does not infringe any third-party rights. The Client shall indemnify the Contractor against all third-party claims arising from an infringement of rights caused by the templates provided.

The Contractor is not obliged to check the templates provided for possible infringements of rights (e.g. trademark, copyright or design rights). In the event of recognisable infringements, the Contractor reserves the right to refuse the order.

10. Embroidery Programs and Data Retention

Embroidery programs (punching/digitising): the embroidery programs (embroidery files) created by the Contractor remain the property of the Contractor. By placing the order, the Client acquires the right to have the embroidery program used for their orders with Stoff³. The embroidery files are not released to the Client or to third parties.

For repeat orders with the same motif, no new punching fee is charged — the embroidery program is reused free of charge.

Retention of customer data: files provided by the Client (logos, print templates, motifs) are stored digitally and remain available for repeat orders. They are retained until revoked by the Client.

The Contractor reserves the right to delete stored data for operational reasons (e.g. system migration, storage capacity). No guarantee is given for the permanent availability of the data. We recommend keeping your own backup copies of all files provided.

11. Customer-Supplied Goods

If the Client provides their own textiles or materials for finishing (customer-supplied goods), the following rules apply:

  • The Client is responsible for the quality and suitability of the materials provided.
  • The Contractor checks the materials for obvious defects, but accepts no liability for hidden material defects.
  • To cover the production-related spoilage rate (see Section 4), we recommend providing at least 1 extra piece — for larger orders 5% — as surplus quantity. The Contractor accepts no liability for spoilage of customer-supplied textiles within the agreed tolerance (3%).
  • In the event of damage caused by defective material quality (e.g. textiles unsuitable for embroidery), the Contractor’s liability is excluded.
  • The Contractor gives NO warranty for the durability of the finishing (e.g. DTF transfer print, embroidery, flex/flock print, DTG direct print) on textiles supplied by the Client. The suitability of the supplied material for the desired finishing process — in particular with regard to fibre composition, surface structure, pre-treatment, washing behaviour and colour fastness — is solely the Client’s responsibility.
  • The Contractor provides advice and may point out clearly unsuitable materials. However, the final decision on the finishing process rests with the Client. If the Client places the order despite being informed of possible risks, claims for defects due to insufficient durability are excluded.
  • When the Client supplies textiles for finishing, the Client expressly confirms the exclusion of liability for durability and suitability during the ordering process (customer portal or written order confirmation).

12. Force Majeure

Events of force majeure that substantially impede the Contractor's performance or render it temporarily impossible (e.g. natural disasters, pandemics, supply shortages at upstream suppliers, machine breakdown, official orders) entitle the Contractor to postpone performance for the duration of the impediment plus a reasonable start-up period. This also applies if such circumstances occur at subcontractors. The Contractor will inform the Client of such impediments without delay.

13. Right of Withdrawal (Private Customers Only)

Consumers generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal.

Exception for personalised goods: the right of withdrawal does not apply to goods that are made to the customer's specifications or are clearly personalised (Section 312g (2) No. 1 BGB, implementing Art. 16(c) of Directive 2011/83/EU). This applies in particular to:

  • Embroidery with an individual motif or logo
  • Prints (DTF, DTG, flex/flock) with a customer-specific design
  • Individually finished textiles

Customers are expressly informed of the exclusion of the right of withdrawal before the contract is concluded and must actively consent to the lapse of the right of withdrawal.

Cancellation (private customers only): private customers may cancel an order free of charge before production begins. Once production has started, cancellation is no longer possible and the full order value becomes due. Business customers may only cancel by individual agreement.

14. Textile Labelling

The material composition of the textiles used is stated in accordance with the German Textile Labelling Act (Textilkennzeichnungsgesetz) and Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011.

Care instructions are provided where possible.

15. Data Protection

Information on the processing of personal data can be found in our Privacy Policy.

16. Final Provisions

Place of jurisdiction: for all disputes arising from contracts with business customers, the place of jurisdiction is Kassel, Germany. For private customers, the statutory place of jurisdiction applies.

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For consumers, this choice of law only applies insofar as it does not deprive the consumer of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has their habitual residence (Art. 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 — Rome I).

Should individual provisions of these T&Cs be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provision.

We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Section 36 of the German Act on Alternative Dispute Resolution in Consumer Matters, VSBG).

This English version is provided for convenience. In the event of discrepancies, the German version prevails.
Version of these T&Cs: August 2026 · We reserve the right to update these T&Cs in the event of changes in the law or in our services.
