TERMS & CONDITIONS
Last updated: 17 September 20266.1 Scope and seller
These Terms & Conditions apply to purchases through the HABÄNE online store by consumers unless expressly stated otherwise. HABÄNE operates in Germany and India through separate territorial authorizations from Abhishek Arora. For Germany-market purchases, the contracting seller is SchelmDev UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Baroperstraße 335, Z. 608, 44227 Dortmund, Germany, unless a different seller is clearly identified before the order is placed. For India-market purchases, the contracting seller is FASTFAME MULTIVERSE (OPC) PRIVATE LIMITED, registered office 30, Block-B, Shivaji Park, Near Junglow Wali Mataji Temple, Yamuna Nagar, Haryana 135001, India, CIN U73100HR2023OPC113821, GSTIN 06AAFCF5735M1ZB, unless a different seller is clearly identified before the order is placed. The applicable seller must be identified before checkout completion and on the order confirmation or invoice.
HABÄNE is owned by Abhishek Arora. SchelmDev UG (haftungsbeschränkt) is temporarily authorized to use the HABÄNE trademark and brand in Germany for agreed Germany-market ecommerce and related commercial operations. This authorization does not transfer ownership of HABÄNE.
FASTFAME MULTIVERSE (OPC) PRIVATE LIMITED is separately and temporarily authorized to use the HABÄNE trademark and brand in India for agreed India-market ecommerce and related commercial operations. This India authorization does not transfer ownership of HABÄNE. The Germany and India authorizations operate in parallel and independently within their respective territories.
6.2 Contract formation
Product presentations in the online store are invitations to submit an order and are not binding offers unless expressly stated otherwise. By completing checkout and activating the final order button, the customer submits a binding offer to purchase the selected goods. Receipt of the order is confirmed electronically without undue delay. For a Germany-market order, a contract is concluded when SchelmDev UG expressly accepts the order, sends a dispatch confirmation, or dispatches the goods, whichever occurs first, unless checkout states a different acceptance process. For an India-market order, contract formation follows the process disclosed by FASTFAME MULTIVERSE (OPC) PRIVATE LIMITED in the applicable India checkout and order confirmation, subject to applicable Indian law.
The checkout must allow customers to identify and correct input errors before ordering. Contract terms, including these Terms & Conditions, must be available to retrieve and save when the contract is concluded. The available contract language is the language offered in the relevant checkout flow.
6.3 Checkout information and payment obligation
Before the customer submits an order, the webshop displays the essential product characteristics, total price, applicable taxes, shipping or other additional costs, delivery information, available payment methods and any delivery restrictions required by law. For the Germany-market checkout, the final order control must clearly indicate that the order creates a payment obligation, using “zahlungspflichtig bestellen” or another legally equivalent unambiguous wording. The India-market checkout must use the payment and disclosure wording required by applicable Indian law.
6.4 Prices, VAT and additional costs
For EU consumer sales, displayed total prices include applicable VAT and other mandatory price components where required. Shipping charges and any other unavoidable additional costs are disclosed before the order is placed. For deliveries outside the EU, import duties, taxes, customs charges or brokerage fees may apply unless expressly included in the checkout price.
6.5 Payment
Available payment methods are displayed at checkout. Payment may be processed by third-party providers. Germany-market transactions handled by SchelmDev UG may use the payment providers offered in the Germany checkout, like Stripe. India-market transactions handled by FASTFAME MULTIVERSE (OPC) PRIVATE LIMITED may use local payment providers, including Razorpay where offered. The customer must be shown the contracting seller and payment recipient before ordering, must provide accurate payment information, and must have authority to use the selected payment method. If an order is not accepted after a payment authorization or charge, the amount will be released or refunded without undue delay according to the payment method and applicable law.
6.6 Product information, availability and digital elements
The binding product description is the information presented for the specific product at the time the order is placed, together with any information incorporated into the contract. HABÄNE may use AI-generated or AI-assisted images, concept renders, lifestyle scenes, backgrounds and other visual material for product representation and marketing. Such imagery is illustrative unless it is expressly identified as actual product photography. AI-generated or materially AI-altered product representations that could reasonably be mistaken for authentic photography of the actual product must be clearly labelled adjacent to the image, for example: “AI-generated visual — illustrative representation; actual product may differ.”
The written product description, technical specifications, dimensions, included components, selected colour/finish and actual product photography expressly identified as such control over any illustrative AI-generated visual. AI-assisted marketing content must not depict or imply product functions, accessories, materials, dimensions, certifications or performance characteristics that are not supplied or substantiated. Where Article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (EU AI Act) requires disclosure of artificially generated or manipulated content, HABÄNE will provide a clear and distinguishable disclosure at first exposure. HABÄNE applies the same adjacent-label practice more broadly where necessary to avoid consumer confusion or misleading presentation.
Pre-contract product specifications may be updated before an order is accepted. After contract conclusion, the seller may not unilaterally reduce the agreed product conformity or statutory consumer rights. For goods with digital elements, applicable statutory conformity and update obligations remain unaffected.
6.7 Delivery
The delivery period agreed during checkout or stated in the order confirmation applies. If no delivery time has been agreed and German consumer-sales law applies, the seller must deliver without undue delay and no later than 30 days after conclusion of the contract. Statutory remedies for late or failed delivery remain unaffected.
6.8 Transfer of risk
For consumer purchases, the seller bears the risk of accidental loss or damage during shipment until the goods are delivered to the consumer or a third party designated by the consumer, except where the consumer independently commissions a carrier not previously offered by the seller, as provided by mandatory law.
6.9 Statutory conformity and defect rights
Consumers retain all mandatory statutory rights for defective or non-conforming goods. Under German law these may include repair or replacement, price reduction, termination and damages where the legal requirements are met. Any separate commercial warranty is additional to, and does not limit, statutory rights.
6.10 Statutory withdrawal and returns
For Germany-market distance purchases where the statutory right of withdrawal applies, consumers have a 14-day withdrawal period under German law. The period generally begins when the consumer or a designated third party receives the goods, subject to the rules for split deliveries. Unless HABÄNE expressly grants a longer voluntary return period for a specific order, no additional commercial return period applies. Details are set out in the Returns & Refunds and Right of Withdrawal sections. India-market return, refund and cancellation rights are governed by applicable Indian law and the India-market information displayed before purchase.
6.11 Smart luggage, batteries and airline rules
Technology-enabled luggage, batteries and electronic components may be subject to carrier, aviation, customs, destination and safety rules. Customers should check the rules of their specific airline or carrier before travel. Statements about cabin compatibility or airline use are subject to the carrier’s current rules and do not limit mandatory product-conformity or safety obligations of the seller or manufacturer.
6.12 Intellectual property
The HABÄNE name, logo, visual identity, brand assets and associated trademark rights are owned by Abhishek Arora unless otherwise expressly stated. SchelmDev UG (haftungsbeschränkt) has only the temporary Germany-market authorization described above. FASTFAME MULTIVERSE (OPC) PRIVATE LIMITED has only the separate temporary India-market authorization described above. The two authorizations operate in parallel, are territorial and independent, and neither transfers ownership of HABÄNE. Website content, product designs, images, software and other materials are protected by the rights of their respective owners. No licence is granted except the limited right to use the website for its intended purpose.
6.13 Liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law. Liability remains unlimited for intent and gross negligence; injury to life, body or health caused by negligence or intent; fraud; claims under mandatory product-liability law; and liability arising from an expressly assumed guarantee where applicable.
For damage caused by ordinary negligence in breach of a material contractual obligation, liability may be limited to the typical and foreseeable damage at the time of contract conclusion, to the extent permitted by law. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
6.14 Governing law
For Germany-market contracts, German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), where legally permissible. For consumers, this choice does not deprive them of mandatory protection granted by the law that would otherwise apply under applicable conflict-of-law rules. For India-market contracts concluded with FASTFAME MULTIVERSE (OPC) PRIVATE LIMITED, Indian law applies, subject to mandatory consumer protections and other applicable law.
6.15 Consumer dispute resolution
Germany market: SchelmDev UG (haftungsbeschränkt) is not willing to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board unless participation is mandatory under applicable law. The discontinued EU ODR platform is not used.
India market: consumer complaints should be directed first to FASTFAME MULTIVERSE (OPC) PRIVATE LIMITED, customer care / grievance contact Abhishek Arora, Director, at [email protected] or +91 9558903224, correspondence address 30, Block-B, Shivaji Park, Near Junglow Wali Mataji Temple, Yamuna Nagar, Haryana 135001, India, without limiting any statutory right to approach the competent consumer authority or commission.
6.16 Changes to these Terms
Changes to these Terms apply prospectively. The version applicable to an existing purchase is the version incorporated into that contract, subject to mandatory law. Updated terms do not retrospectively remove accrued consumer rights.
