The contract that is formed when these third party goods are sold is solely between the sellers and the purchasers. TastySlips is not a party to the contract and therefore assumes no responsibility for that contract of sale. TastySlips is also not the representative of the sellers. The sole responsibility for the sale lies with the sellers. TastySlips only provides a digital marketplace.
On the marketplace personalized items are offered by third party private persons.
§6 Prices, shipping costs and payment, notice of purchase
(1) The stated prices do not include VAT for offered items, as our marketplace is exclusively aimed at consumers, also on the seller side.

The delivery time depends on the selected additional options and the desired wearing time.
(3) For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may be incurred such as further taxes and/or duties, for example in the form of customs duties. These other costs have to be borne by the customer.

In such cases, TastySlips is entitled to cancel the order and, if applicable, refund any payments already charged to the buyers via the originally used payment method (e.g., credit card). Sellers shall have no claim to payout in these cases.
(10) By accepting these Terms and Conditions, sellers authorize TastySlips to collect due claims – in particular contractual penalties, claims for damages, or reimbursements related to undelivered, falsely declared, or manipulated orders – via the payment method provided by the sellers for their Premium Membership (e.g., credit card).
(11) Account deletion and payouts
If a seller account is deleted – either by the seller or by TastySlips due to a violation of these Terms – any claim to payout of outstanding amounts expires. This also applies if orders have already been completed and tracking numbers submitted, but the payout has not yet been made at the time of deletion.
10.1 What is a right of withdrawal?
The right of withdrawal gives consumers in Europe the possibility to withdraw from a contract within 14 days of its conclusion. Since you can use the services of TS Marketplace GmbH immediately after registration, we do not offer a right of withdrawal.
TS Marketplace GmbH does not grant a right of withdrawal in any European country; however, you may cancel your subscription at any time.
We are legally obliged to inform our customers that no right of withdrawal exists. By registering in a European country, our customers acknowledge and agree, by confirming these Terms and Conditions, that they waive their right of withdrawal.
Your agreement to waive the right of withdrawal in no way affects your other statutory consumer rights and does not affect your ability to cancel the subscription at any time.
§8 Liability of the seller for the presentation of goods
(1) The seller undertakes to upload and transmit only content - especially images/texts - to which no third party rights exist that conflict with the transmission and/or use and to which no laws, regulations, official provisions or other legal principles (e.g. morality) conflict. In particular, he agrees not to upload or sell any FSK 18/adult pornography images/videos.
(2) He transfers to TastySlips all necessary copyrights, ancillary copyrights, trademark and labeling rights and other rights, in particular the right to reproduce, distribute, transmit, broadcast, edit, make available to the public, to place in a database and hold ready for retrieval, to extract from a database and retrieve, to the extent necessary for the performance of the contract. It entitles TastySlips to use by means of all known technical procedures as well as all known forms of electronic media, via all fixed and mobile, digital and analog communication channels.
(3) The seller is obligated to careful examination. In addition, he is obliged to check the content provided by him digitally for viruses or similar.
(4) TastySlips is not obliged to check the content.
(5) The legal responsibility for the content of all provided content is exclusively borne by the seller. The seller indemnifies TastySlips on first demand from all claims of third parties, which are based on the provision of illegal content, especially because of the violation of competition law, criminal law, copyright, youth protection law and other legal provisions, but also because of violations of applicable guidelines, principles or self-binding. The indemnification extends explicitly also to the necessary costs that TastySlips incurs in connection with its rights defense against the third party.

Section 9 Buyer Protection
(1) Customer's obligation to notify us of non-receipt: The buyer is obliged to inform us no later than 40 days after the date of purchase if he has not received the goods ordered from the seller. The notification can be made in writing or by e-mail and should contain all relevant information about the purchase and the non-delivery.
(2) Consequences of failure to notify: If the buyer fails to notify us of the non-receipt of the seller's goods within the said period of 40 days after the date of purchase, the buyer loses the right to the voluntary buyer protection in respect of undelivered items. In such a case, we are exempt from any liability and the buyer is not entitled to a refund or replacement. Important: Clarify delivery problems promptly: In order to resolve any delivery issues promptly and provide the best possible support to the buyer, we strongly recommend that you inform us immediately should there be any delays or problems with the delivery. This enables us to take action as quickly as possible and find a satisfactory solution.
(3) Buyer protection will be forfeited if communication, refund/reimbursement takes place outside the TastySlips platform between buyers and sellers.
(4) Voluntary buyer protection: It should be noted that buyer protection, as described in these GTC, is a voluntary service. It comes into force in particular if the seller has not dispatched the goods within 35 days of the date of purchase. The voluntary buyer protection does not apply if the buyer is dissatisfied with the scent result of the purchased item, personalized items or media. As smell and other personalized elements are considered subjective sensations and personal preferences, this cannot be assessed objectively. Each person perceives such aspects differently, and what one person likes may be unsuitable for another. The buyer is nevertheless entitled to evaluate the seller in this case and express his or her personal opinion in order to provide guidance to other potential buyers. The buyer protection also does not apply to media that have been specially made for the buyer, as these cannot be reused or resold.
(5) Disclaimer for non-delivery: If the notification of non-receipt is not made within the 40-day period after the date of purchase mentioned in section (1) or if the buyer fails to inform us of the problem in a timely manner, any buyer protection in relation to undelivered items will lapse. In such a case, we accept no liability for non-delivery and the buyer is not entitled to a refund or replacement.
(6) Non-delivery due to delivery service/postal problems: Buyer Protection under section (3) will not apply if the goods ordered from the seller have not been delivered due to delivery service or postal service problems. In such cases, the buyer is advised that he/she is obliged to inform us immediately after discovering the non-receipt as described in section (1). We accept no liability for non-delivery due to problems with the delivery service or the post office, and the buyer is not entitled to a refund or replacement in such a case.
(7) Exclusion of liability for non-delivery due to delivery service/postal problems: If notice of non-receipt is not given within the period of 40 days from the date of purchase referred to in section (1) above, or if the buyer fails to notify us of the problem in a timely manner, any buyer protection in respect of undelivered items due to delivery service/postal problems will lapse. In such a case, we accept no liability and the buyer is not entitled to a refund or replacement.
(8) Communication outside of TastySlips: The buyer protection according to section (3) expires if the communication, refund or partial refund takes place outside of the TastySlips platform between buyers and sellers. It should be noted that buyer protection is only guaranteed within the communication and transaction options provided on the platform.
§10 Seller obligations, prohibition of circumvention

This includes sharing contact details (e.g. email, phone number, social media accounts) with the intent of moving a transaction off-platform.
