TERMS & CONDITIONS

§ 1 Scope

(1) These terms apply to all contracts between SAKRIS® and our customers for tattoos (including Mindful Tattooing™ and small tattoos), Mobile Tattooing and events, mindfulness offers (e.g. Yin Yoga, Breathwork, Integration) and workshops, hiring The Space, and vouchers.

(2) Individual agreements – such as an individual offer, an appointment confirmation or a rental agreement – take precedence over these terms. Deviating terms of customers apply only if we expressly agree to them.

(3) A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business or profession (Section 13 BGB).

§ 2 Enquiries and conclusion of contract

(1) The presentation of our offers on the website is not a binding offer. Enquiries via our forms – in particular the free consultation – are non-binding and free of charge. They create no obligation for you or for us and are not a booking.

(2) A contract for a tattoo is concluded when, after the consultation, we individually agree an appointment with you and you pay the deposit communicated at that time, or when we otherwise confirm the appointment as binding in text form (e.g. by email).

(3) Contracts for events, mindfulness offers, workshops and hiring the space are concluded by our individual confirmation or a separate contract.

(4) Prices are agreed individually before the contract is concluded or result from the respective current offer. Prices stated for consumers include statutory VAT.

§ 3 Deposit

(1) We charge a deposit for tattoo appointments. We will inform you of the amount in text form before the contract is concluded; it depends on the scope of the appointment (e.g. small tattoo, half or full day).

(2) The deposit is credited in full against the final price. What happens to the deposit if an appointment is rescheduled or cancelled is governed by § 5.

§ 4 Requirements, health and safety

(1) We tattoo adults only. Please bring a valid photo ID to your appointment.

(2) Please inform us before the appointment about any health conditions that may be relevant to a safe tattoo, e.g. allergies, skin conditions, blood clotting disorders, use of blood-thinning medication, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, epilepsy, pregnancy or breastfeeding.

(3) We cannot tattoo you under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication, or in the case of acute illness or inflamed skin at the area to be tattooed. We may refuse or stop a tattoo for health or safety reasons.

(4) Tattoos are handmade, and every skin reacts differently. Minor deviations from the design and differences in healing are possible and do not constitute a defect. We cannot guarantee a particular healing result, as it also depends on aftercare and your individual skin.

§ 5 Rescheduling and cancellation

(1) You may reschedule or cancel an agreed appointment free of charge up to 14 days before the appointment. If you reschedule, the deposit is transferred to the new appointment; if you cancel in good time, we refund it.

(2) If you reschedule or cancel less than 14 days before the appointment, or do not attend, we may retain the deposit as lump-sum compensation for the reserved time and preparatory work already carried out (e.g. design). You remain entitled to prove that we incurred no loss or a significantly lower loss.

(3) If you cannot attend the appointment for reasons beyond your control (e.g. a documented illness), paragraph 2 does not apply. Please let us know as early as possible; we will then agree a new appointment to which the deposit is transferred.

(4) If we have to cancel an appointment, we will offer you a new appointment or refund the deposit in full.

(5) For mindfulness offers, workshops, events and hiring the space, the conditions communicated at booking or in the contract apply. Your statutory rights remain unaffected in all cases.

§ 6 Aftercare and touch-ups

(1) After your tattoo, you will receive aftercare instructions. A good result depends largely on following them.

(2) Whether and under what conditions a touch-up is possible will be agreed with you individually and communicated before the appointment.

§ 7 Mobile Tattooing and events

(1) We prepare an individual offer for Mobile Tattooing and events. The scope of services, duration, price, travel and any surcharges are set out in that offer.

(2) The organiser provides a suitable, clean, well-lit workspace with a power supply. The requirements of § 4 apply accordingly to tattooed guests; we may decline anyone who does not meet them. We do not promise a specific number of tattoos.

§ 8 Mindfulness offers and workshops

(1) Yin Yoga, Breathwork, Integration and our workshops serve mindfulness and well-being. They are not medical, psychotherapeutic or alternative-practitioner treatment and do not replace it.

(2) Please inform us in advance about any health restrictions (e.g. pregnancy, cardiovascular disease, epilepsy, respiratory disease or mental illness). Breathwork in particular is not suitable for everyone; if in doubt, consult your doctor beforehand. You may stop any exercise at any time.

(3) Packages and multi-session passes can be used within the period stated in the offer.

§ 9 Hiring The Space

Enquiries about hiring the space are non-binding. Hiring takes place exclusively on the basis of a separate rental agreement or an individual booking confirmation, which take precedence over these terms. The house rules must be observed.

§ 10 Vouchers

(1) Vouchers can be redeemed for the services stated on them or up to their value. Unless otherwise stated, the statutory limitation period of three years from the end of the year in which the voucher was purchased applies.

(2) Any remaining balance is retained. Cash payment is excluded unless otherwise required by law. Vouchers are transferable unless they are expressly personalised.

§ 11 Copyright, designs and photos

(1) Our drafts and tattoo designs are protected by copyright. With the tattoo, you receive the right to wear and show the design on your body. Any further reproduction or passing on of the design, for example to other studios, requires our consent.

(2) We publish photos or videos of you or your tattoo, for example on the website or on Instagram, only with your consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future.

(3) For any templates you provide, you confirm that you are entitled to use them.

§ 12 Liability

(1) We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act and to the extent of any guarantee given.

(2) In the case of slight negligence, we are liable only for breach of an essential contractual obligation, the fulfilment of which makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely; in this case, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.

(3) The limitations of liability also apply in favour of our staff and vicarious agents.

§ 13 Statutory rights

Statutory warranty rights apply. As a consumer, you retain all mandatory statutory rights without restriction.

§ 14 Right of withdrawal

(1) If you, as a consumer, conclude a contract exclusively by means of distance communication (e.g. email, phone, messenger) or outside our business premises, you generally have a statutory right of withdrawal. Details can be found in the withdrawal information.

(2) Whether a statutory exception to the right of withdrawal applies in an individual case is determined by Section 312g(2) BGB. There is no statutory right of withdrawal for contracts you conclude in person at our studio.

§ 15 Data protection

Information on how we process your data can be found in our privacy policy.

§ 16 Dispute resolution

We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. If you have any questions or complaints, please contact us directly.

§ 17 Final provisions

(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the country of your habitual residence remains unaffected.

(2) If customers are merchants, the place of jurisdiction is the registered office of our company.

(3) Should any provision of these terms be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The statutory provision replaces the invalid provision.
