3. Agreements and contracts

3.1 When the client chooses to apply for a quotation or to seek contact with Etnicea via other ways with the purpose to place an order at Etnicea, both verbal and written communication are summarized by Etnicea. The client will receive an email from Etnicea or one of its ventures that describes the clients request and the terms and agreement proposition by Etnicea of the specific request placed by the client. The client will be asked to verify the statements and proposition made by Etnicea or its ventures.

3.2 Etnicea will only start working for its clients when a written (by email) agreement has been given by the client. In practice it means that you, the client, will have to give the “go” sign to Etnicea or one of its ventures before it will start working on your project. The right of withdrawal is not applicable after this written consent (see paragraph 3.6 for more details). After all, Etnicea or one of its ventures already started working on your project. Panic?

3.5 It is within the realms of possibility that a specific request/order/wish does not align with the principles and ethics of Etnicea. Etnicea will notify the client/costumer as soon as possible on the matter with the goal of saving time so the client/costumer can move to search another party whom might comply with the request/order.

4. Offers and request

4.1 The client can request a quotation via the Etnicea website. After the client has filed for a quotation, Etnicea works to provide the client with a response/answer within 24 hours. A quotation is always free of charge and creates no obligations. A quotation is valid for one month. During this time the client can decide whether the client wants to start an agreement and working relationship with Etnicea. When a month passes and the quotation is due date, you can simply request a new quotation.

4.2 Prices that are given in the offers and quotations are present as including VAT for private individuals. No extra calculation is needed. For business related clients prices are presented excluding VAT.

Etnicea can adjust the offer in accordance with paragraph 3.1 and 3.2, in consultation with the client.

7.5 Payment terms of Etnicea are set at 14 days (2 weeks).

7.6 Etnicea expects the client to have the money to pay for the assignment. Otherwise, it is strongly recommended not to place an order at Etnicea. We steer towards a cooperative and honest working relationship.

If the client is unable to pay the bill after these 14 days, Etnicea will seek to contact you to discuss the invoice and to explore further options into completing said owned transaction.

7.8 After the payment-reminder that is valid for 14 days, a second reminder will be sent which is also valid for another 14 days. After those 14 days, a third reminder is issued that is also valid for 14 days. Etnicea does not charge interest on the amount, but does charge the (potential) costs of sending the letters. We continue to assume that this is not done with malicious intent.

7.9 If there are malicious intentions or deliberate non-payment where you also refuse, in collaboration with Etnicea to find a solution. Then Etnicea is forced to activate a collection agency, reluctantly. Etnicea strives to remain in collaboration, but if this does not work, we see ourselves forced to take action.

10.4 If, after the period to the right of withdrawal expires as referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3, the customer has not made it known that he wishes to make use of his right of withdrawal and the product has not been sent to Etnicea, the purchase is a fact.

10.10 The customer cannot be held liable for any depreciation of the product when Etnicea did not provide all legally required information about the right of withdrawal, this must be done before the conclusion of the purchase agreement.

Exclusion of right of withdrawal

10.11 Etnicea can exclude the customers right of withdrawal for products. The exclusion of the right of withdrawal only applies if Etnicea has clearly stated this in the offer, at least in time for the conclusion of the agreement.

10.12 Exclusion of the right of withdrawal applies for the following products:

* that have been established by Etnicea in accordance with customer specifications;

* that are clearly personal in nature;

* which cannot be returned due to their nature;

* whose price depends on fluctuations in the financial market on which Etnicea has no influence;

* the delivery of which commenced with the express consent of the customer after the reflection period has expired;

* where the customer and Etnicea have entered into a work-relation as described in paragraph 3.1, paragraph 3.2 and paragraph 3.6 regarding the restoration, upgrading and coloring of black and white photos, making custom designs for the client or other forms of services by Etnicea.          

11. Property and copyright

11.1 That which Etnicea makes for the client ultimately becomes the property of the client. After all, you payed for it. It is that simple.

11.2 Graphic designs and/or paintings can be signed by the designer/artist of Etnicea. It is also possible that a logo in the form of a sticker or small text is placed on the back of the design. In all cases, the final product is delivered as clean as possible.

11.3 On the websites of Etnicea images, graphic designs, logos, texts and videos of other artists, designers and other authors are published in digital form. It is always stated who the original author and owner of the work in question is. The work is also provided with a digital link to the relevant website of the author/copyright holder or her/his social media platform for the benefit of their public relations.

11.4 Following paragraph 11.3: it is at all times not permitted to download and/or use any form of content or material that you can find / see / use on the website of Etnicea and/or use for personal or commercial purposes unless explicitly stated on the relevant page that this is allowed. This has purely to do with the fact that art and design works by others have also been made visible on the Etnicea websites. Etnicea has made arrangements/agreements with these specific artists, designers and authors about publishing their works on the Etnicea websites. The copyright and intellectual property laws are taken very seriously by Etnicea. Abide these laws with us.

11.5 Uploading material to the MiGa90 webstore should only be done when you own the copyright to the material you would like to upload. MiGa90 - Etnicea does not perform a copyright-check. This responsibility lies with the uploader. MiGa90 - Etnicea does not except any responsibilities regarding faulty usage of copyrighted material.

12. Liability, Law and regulations

12.1 If you, the client, provide visual material to be understood as video, photo, design or drawing material, you, the client, are and remain liable for the contents thereof. This is to account for the use of material that is not your own. If you use material that is not your own, you must arrange the permission yourself.

12.2 Copyright laws are quite serious and that is largely logical. It is not okay to use another person's work if the other has not consented to it. This may be because you are presenting the work of someone else in a completely different light than the original artist intended. So pay attention to what you provide. Etnicea is not liable for the work it engages in. Etnicea assumes that you own the rights (ownership rights and copyright) in the material yourself. If this turned out not to be the case afterwards, the client remains responsible in this situation. Etnicea assumes no liability in this.

12.3 In the event that Etnicea receives images from the client in which a real / actual crime has been recorded in video or photographic manner, appropriate action will be taken. 

12.4 Etnicea takes no accountability in damages caused to software or hardware when using this website or any other website associated with Etnicea.

13. Complaints & procedure

13.1 Complaints about the implementation of the agreement must be submitted fully and clearly described to Etnicea within 7 days, after the customer has discovered the defects.

13.2 The complaints submitted to Etnicea will be answered within a period of 14 days from the date of receipt. If a complaint requires a foreseeable longer processing time, Etnicea will reply within 14 days with a notice and indication when the customer can expect a more detailed answer.

13.3 If the complaint cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, a dispute arises that is subject to the dispute settlement procedure.

13.4 In case of complaints Etnicea will work eager to resolve the issue where possible. It is also possible to register complaints via the European ODR platform (http://ec.europa.eu/odr).

13.5 A complaint does not suspend the obligations of Etnicea, unless Etnicea indicates otherwise in writing or is externally imposed to do so.

13.6 If a complaint is found to be well-founded by Etnicea, Etnicea will  replace or repair the products free of charge.

14. Disputes

14.1 On agreements between Etnicea and customer/client to which these terms of service and conditions apply are exclusively governed by Dutch law. Even if the customer/client resides abroad.

14.2 Disputes are settled by the court in the district where Etnicea is established.
