These terms apply to all contracts between the provider and purchasers of VANITAS via vanitasdigital.art. Consumer rights under §13 BGB apply in full. Deviating terms of the purchaser do not apply.
VANITAS is a limited digital art object — Edition I with a maximum of 999 numbered patron places. A purchase grants:
VANITAS has no practical utility. It is not:
Purchase of VANITAS does not transfer copyright or intellectual property (§§ 29, 31 UrhG). The purchaser receives a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to experience the work via the provided interface. This product character is confirmed explicitly by the purchaser during checkout.
The purchase price for VANITAS Edition I is 999.00 EUR. VAT is not shown pursuant to §19 UStG (small business regulation).
Payment is processed exclusively via Stripe, Inc. The full purchase price is due at the time of contract conclusion. Accepted payment methods are determined by the Stripe Checkout interface.
The presentation of VANITAS on vanitasdigital.art is not a binding offer but an invitation to make an offer (invitatio ad offerendum).
A contract is concluded when the purchaser completes all required fields in the checkout form, the legally required confirmations are given (§312j BGB), and payment is successfully and finally confirmed by Stripe.
Upon payment confirmation, the purchaser receives an email containing a personal magic link (access code to the ritual interface and certificate). Delivery is via Resend, Inc., typically within minutes of payment.
VANITAS Edition I is limited to 999 patron places. No right to purchase arises until payment is fully confirmed. A reservation without completed payment does not establish a contract.
A patron number is assigned and the digital certificate made available immediately after payment confirmation. Assignment is automated and in order of payment receipt.
The magic link is personal and must not be shared with third parties. If a link is lost or cannot be delivered, a recovery function is available at app.vanitasdigital.art/access.
Performance begins immediately upon payment confirmation and delivery of the magic link. The purchaser expressly agrees to this immediate commencement — the legal consequences for the right of withdrawal are described in §6.
Consumers within the meaning of §13 BGB have a 14-day right of withdrawal (§355 BGB in conjunction with Art. 9 CRD 2011/83/EU).
The right of withdrawal may expire under certain conditions (§356(5) BGB), subject to legal classification of VANITAS as "digital content" within the meaning of §327a BGB, and subject to the purchaser having expressly confirmed during checkout that performance begins immediately and that they may lose their right of withdrawal upon commencement, if the statutory requirements are met.
The full withdrawal policy, including the model withdrawal form, is available at vanitasdigital.art/withdrawal.html.
Statutory consumer rights are not affected by any provision in these terms.
We intend to operate VANITAS on a permanent basis without planned shutdown. No contractual guarantee of a specific minimum uptime percentage is given. Our obligations under §327d BGB (duty to maintain the digital product for the duration of the contract) are not affected.
Brief interruptions for maintenance or technical reasons do not constitute a defect provided they do not permanently impair contractual use.
If permanent discontinuation becomes necessary, we will inform patrons at least 30 days in advance where possible. Statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.
Copyright in VANITAS — including all texts, designs, ritual content, and interface software — rests with the provider (§§ 2, 29 UrhG). The purchaser receives a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence for private use and experience of the work. Reproduction, public performance, adaptation, resale, or commercial use of VANITAS content is not included.
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
For consumers: where mandatory provisions of the law of the consumer's country of habitual residence afford greater protection, those provisions prevail (Art. 6(2) Rome I Regulation, EU 593/2008). Statutory consumer venues of jurisdiction apply. Contractual jurisdiction clauses disadvantaging consumers are void.
