- via credit account,
- via PayPal-credit and credit card via Paypal,
- with immediate transfer
- with credit card via Braintree
within 1 day after payment.

11.4 The provision of the download does not represent a permanent backup of your purchases. Please save the purchased templates on your own device.
12. Copyright, right of use
12.1 You may only use the templates acquired through us for your own non-commercial purposes and you are not entitled to make them available to third parties on the internet or in any other way, even in excerpts.
12.2 However, you have the option of contacting the respective author directly in order to be able to transfer further rights of use directly from him in individual cases. If you have to pay fees, you would have to pay them directly to the respective author, who would be responsible for invoicing in this context.
13. Warranty, liability
13.1 We take the utmost care in selecting the authors who independently upload the templates together with the product description and product images. Nevertheless, we can not guarantee that the templates, product descriptions and product images are suitable and correct for your specific needs. You choose the templates at your own responsibility and use them independently. In particular, you must pay attention to whether the product made by you with the templates is suitable for infants under the age of 3 years and whether the materials you have used for it may be harmful to any person's health (e.g. allergies). Our liability for the incorrect use of the templates is excluded.
13.2 Claims by you for damages are excluded. Exceptions to this are claims for damages from you for injury to life, limb, or health or due to the violation of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) as well as liability for other damages based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents. Significant contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment is necessary to achieve the objective of the contract.
13.3 In the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, we shall only be liable for the contractually typical, foreseeable damage, if this was simply caused by negligence, unless it concerns claims for damages by you for an injury to life, limb or health.
13.4 The limitations of paragraphs 2 and 3 also apply in favor of our legal representatives and vicarious agents if claims are asserted directly against them.
13.5 The limitations of liability arising from paragraphs 2 and 3 shall not apply if we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the goods. The same applies if you have concluded an agreement with us about the nature of the item. The provisions of the Product Liability Act remain unaffected.
13.6 Claims arising from deposits into your credit account expire after three years. This period begins at the end of the year in which the deposit was made. The expiration only affects legal claims, not the credit itself, which may expire as stated in section 8.3.
14. Netiquette
14.1 When using crazypatterns.net you must stick to the good customs and the general good netiquette of the internet.
14.2 Your interaction with other users and authors must always be impeccable. Insults, improper statements, public denunciation and the like are to be omitted.
14.3 Your reviews of the downloaded templates are to be only truthful and factual, they must not contain any abusive criticism. Only the downloaded templates that have already been reworked are to be evaluated. An inappropriate use of the rating system is expressly prohibited.
14.4 You may not publish any third-party content in public areas such as in the forum or the comment feature. Third-party content includes, for example, pictures and excerpts from templates where you have no distribution rights. Even links that lead to pages outside crazypatterns.net are not allowed.
15. Measures for failures
15.1 If we have concrete evidence of misconduct, we reserve the right to take action. Until the facts are fully elucidated, we can, among other things:
- caution and demand the misconduct to be stopped immediately,
- modify or delete content, ratings, comments or posts,
- temporarily restrict or suspend accounts or terminate without notice.
We reserve the right to appropriate and suitable measures. Statutory claims on our part due to misconduct remain unaffected by these measures.
15.2 As soon as we become aware of a misconduct or a suspicion is made to us, we will inform the affected user about this. This user will receive a reasonable period to respond.
16. Applicable law, contract language
16.1 Exclusively the law of the Republic of Latvia applies to the exclusion of international private law and the UN sales law. The statutory provisions restricting the choice of law and the applicability of mandatory regulations, in particular of the state in which the customer has his habitual residence as a consumer remain unaffected.
16.2 The contract language is German.
16.3 Translations of these terms and conditions, which may exist on crazypatterns.net, are not binding; only the German version is definitive.
16.4 The unrestricted and digital domiciliary right lies with us.
17. Platform of the European Commission for online dispute resolution
17.1 The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution for consumers on the following website: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr
17.2 We are neither obligated nor willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
18. Severability clause, change reservation
18.1 If any provision of these terms and conditions is or becomes invalid, the remaining provisions remain unaffected.
18.2 We are entitled to unilaterally amend these GTC - insofar as they have been introduced into the contractual relationship with you - insofar as this is necessary for the elimination of subsequently arising equivalence problems or for adaptation to changed legal or technical conditions or for other reasons.
18.3 The GTC must therefore be read again before each conclusion of the contract. In the event of a change, the GTC now applicable to your order may not be retrievable at a later date. Therefore store them on your device.
18.4 In the event of a change to the previous GTC, you will receive the new version of the GTC to the email address specified upon registration, indicating that these GTC will become part of the contract if you do not object within four weeks of receipt. You will be reminded of the option to object upon the announcement of the new version of the GTC.
18.5 If you do not expressly object to us by email at support@crazypatters.net within the four-week period, your consent to the validity of the new GTC shall be deemed granted.
