1. Scope and provider
These terms and conditions apply to all contracts concluded via the online shop lytrag-store.de. The provider is LytraG-System, owner Amadou Ly, Ottostraße 5a, 47198 Duisburg, Germany. Differing terms of the customer do not become part of the contract unless we expressly agree to them.
A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business or profession.
2. Offer and conclusion of contract
We place and sell works by the artist Herbert Schero. There are two routes:
- Editions and prints can be purchased directly through the shop. The presentation in the shop is not a binding offer but an invitation to order. By submitting your order you make a binding offer. The contract is concluded when we confirm acceptance or dispatch the work. An automatic acknowledgement of receipt does not yet constitute acceptance.
- Originals, large formats and sculptures are placed by personal arrangement. The price shown in the shop is a guide price. The contract is concluded only through an individual offer from us and your acceptance of it.
Every work is a unique piece or part of a limited edition. If a work has been sold elsewhere in the meantime, we will inform you without delay. No contract is concluded in that case and any payment already made is refunded immediately.
3. Prices
All prices are in euros and include statutory value added tax where applicable. Sales of works of art may be subject to the reduced rate of VAT or to margin taxation under Section 25a of the German VAT Act. The applicable treatment is shown on the invoice. Shipping costs are stated separately during the order process or, for originals, in the individual offer.
4. Delivery, shipping and passing of risk
We only ship works that are in our possession or in the artist’s studio. No drop shipping takes place.
- Editions and prints are shipped as an insured parcel, usually within three to five working days of receipt of payment.
- Originals, large formats and sculptures travel as an individual fine art transport with custom packing and transport insurance. The delivery date is agreed personally.
We ship worldwide. For deliveries outside the European Union, customs duties, import VAT and other charges of the destination country may apply and are borne by the buyer. We prepare the necessary export documents.
For shipments to consumers, the risk of accidental loss passes upon handover to the consumer. For shipments to businesses, the risk passes upon handover to the carrier.
5. Payment
Payment is made using the payment methods offered during the order process. For originals, payment by bank transfer against invoice is also possible. If the customer defaults on payment, we are entitled to charge default interest at the statutory rate. We reserve the right to claim further damages caused by the delay. For originals we reserve the right to dispatch only after payment has been received in full.
6. Retention of title
The delivered work remains our property until payment has been made in full.
7. Right of withdrawal
Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal. Details and the model withdrawal form can be found in our withdrawal policy.
8. Warranty and condition of the works
The statutory provisions on liability for defects apply. Works of art are unique pieces or hand-made editions. Deviations in colour, surface, paper tone and format compared with the image in the shop are inherent to the work and do not constitute a defect, provided they do not substantially alter the character of the work. Signs of age and material in older works are described on request in a condition report. Unless stated otherwise, dimensions refer to sheet or object size without frame.
9. Authenticity and provenance
Every work comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist and the platform, stating title, technique, dimensions, year and, where applicable, edition number. All works come directly from the artist’s studio and the provenance is documented. Should an attribution demonstrably prove to be incorrect, we will take the work back against refund of the purchase price.
10. Obligations under money laundering law
As an art intermediary we are subject to the due diligence obligations of the German Money Laundering Act for transactions of 10,000 euros and above. In these cases we are required to establish and document the identity of the contracting party. Without the required information we cannot perform the contract.
11. Copyright
The purchase of a work does not transfer any copyright or rights of use. Copyright remains with the artist. Purchase does not entitle the buyer to reproduce, adapt or commercially exploit the image of the work.
12. Liability
We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for damage arising from injury to life, body or health. In cases of simple negligence we are liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation and limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Liability is otherwise excluded. Liability under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected.
13. Dispute resolution
We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
14. Final provisions
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. In relation to consumers this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of the protection of mandatory provisions of the state of their habitual residence. Should any provision of these terms be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
