2. Conclusion of Contract

2.1.

The presentation of our goods in the ICheer online shop is merely a non-binding
invitation for you to order goods from us.

2.2.

By submitting the order, you make a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract.

2.2.

Acceptance of the offer by us occurs through delivery of the goods. The automatically
generated e-mail order confirmation does not constitute acceptance of the offer, but
merely documents that the order has been received by us. The decision as to
whether we accept an order is at our sole discretion. If we will not fulfill an order,
we will inform you immediately.

2.2.

If we determine during the processing of your order that the products you have ordered
are not available, you will be informed of this by e-mail. A contract for the
unavailable goods will not be concluded.

We sell our goods exclusively to end consumers who have reached the age of 18
and only in standard commercial quantities.

When ordering via our online shop, the ordering process comprises a total of three
steps:
In the first step, you select the desired goods. In the second step, you have the
option of registering or logging in to retrieve your previously stored data.
In the third step, you enter the billing and delivery address and select the
payment method you want. At the end of this process, you can send your order
to us. After submitting the order, you have the opportunity to print it out.

3. Voluntary Exchange Option

3.1.

Irrespective of your statutory right of withdrawal, we voluntarily give you the opportunity
to return the products purchased from us. You can then return all items purchased in the ICheer
online shop free of charge within 14 days of receipt
by means of the return sticker enclosed with the consignment and using
the return slip, provided that the goods are complete and in unused and undamaged condition.
It is only permitted to inspect the goods in a manner that would be customary for trying them on in a retail store.

Goods that have been provided with a special hygiene sticker or a hygiene seal/welding

The voluntary exchange option does not apply to articles that have been individualized or manufactured according to your customer specifications.

4. Statutory Cancellation Policy

4.1. Right of Cancellation

You can cancel your contract within 14 days without giving any reason in
text form, e.g. letter, fax, e-mail, or – if the item is given to you before the deadline – by
returning the item. The period begins after receipt of this notification in
text form, but not before receipt of the goods by the recipient and also not before fulfillment of
our information obligations according to Article 246 § 2 in conjunction with § 1 paragraph 1 and 2
EGBGB as well as our obligations according to § 312 g paragraph 1 sentence 1 BGB in conjunction with Article

4.2. Consequences of Cancellation

In the event of an effective cancellation, the services received by both parties must be
returned and any benefits derived (e.g. interest) surrendered.
If you are unable to return or surrender the received service and benefits (e.g. benefits of use) in whole or
in part or only in a deteriorated condition, you
must compensate us for the loss in value.
You only have to pay compensation for the deterioration of the item and for benefits derived if the benefits or the deterioration is
due to handling of the item that goes beyond the examination of the properties and functionality.

"Examination of the properties and functionality" means testing and
trying out the respective goods, as is possible and customary in a retail store.
Items that can be shipped as a package are to be returned at our expense and risk. Items that cannot
be shipped as a package will be picked up from you.
Obligations to reimburse payments must be fulfilled within 30 days.
The period begins for you with the dispatch of your cancellation declaration or the item, for us with
their receipt.

11. Addition – Music

11.1. “Custom Mixes”

The following terms and conditions are merely a supplement to the General Terms and Conditions of ICheer GmbH and are limited to the purchase of all musical items.

You must fill out the order form so that we can begin production of the mix.

We prefer that you use our “8-Count-Sheet”. If you feel it is necessary to use your own, please keep it in an Excel format. We do not accept “8-Count-Sheets” that are not in Excel format. Your “8-Count-Sheet” must be sent before the start date of your mix, i.e. no later than 3 weeks before your scheduled delivery date.

To send us your video, we prefer using the free website “We Transfer”. On this website, you can send large files via email. Simply enter our email address (info@icheer.de), your email address, a message with your club and team names, and add the file(s). Please label each file with the team name.

Please do not send your video in different sections. We only accept one video of the entire, complete routine. Also, make sure that the video and the “8-Count-Sheet” you send match. If the “8-Count-Sheet” and the video do not match, we do not know which one is correct, and this may cause a delay in delivery.

11.2. Fees / Payments

Once we receive your order form for the mix, we will send you an order confirmation, which you can use to make the payment. Your delivery date will not be set until payment has been received. The later you make the payment, the higher the risk that you will exceed your desired delivery date. If you wait too long and your desired delivery date has already been taken, we will try to move your mix as close as possible to the previously scheduled date. However, it may take weeks or even months for us to have another open date.

If you order 3 or more mixes, you will receive a 5% discount on your entire order. If you order 5 or more mixes, you will receive a 10% discount on the entire order.

Depending on the time of year they are requested, express deliveries may not be available. For an express delivery of 14 working days, each mix costs an additional €75. For a 7-day express delivery, it costs an additional €150.

If you would like cover songs to be used in your mix, each cover song costs an additional €20 per song per mix. Choose your cover songs at www.unleashthebeats.com.

11.3. DELIVERY / RELEASE

The processing time is 3 weeks from the start date of your mix.

Once the mix is complete, we will send you a high-quality MP3 file of your mix along with the corresponding license.

ICheer or an employee of ICheer is not liable for lost profits, damaged equipment, missed competitions, time deductions due to the length of your music, or other things due to the use of this website and/or our services.

When you order music from ICheer, you agree that ICheer will upload your mix to SoundCloud and use your team name for other marketing strategies.

11.4. Changes & Reconstructions

Depending on your mix package, a certain number of change sessions are free of charge. One session lasts a maximum of one hour (60min). Changes outside of your free number will be charged at €45 per session. It may take up to 2 weeks for the changes to be implemented. Express changes cost 50€ extra. An updated count sheet and/or a current video must be submitted for all changes. Please be as detailed as possible. Free changes are included in the Premium Package for the entire season in which the mix was purchased. A season lasts from August to July of the following year. ICheer reserves the right to adjust our season for our international customers based on their respective competition calendar.

Changes include:

  • Sound effect changes
  • Song exchange, not for cover songs
  • Tempo changes
  • Other small changes

A reconstruction includes, without limitation, changing cover songs, extending or shortening the mix or songs, adjusting the order of the songs or the routine, and new or different vocals. Reconstructions are only offered for the season in which your mix was purchased. A season lasts from August to July of the following year. ICheer reserves the right to adjust our season for our international customers based on their respective competition calendar. The cost of reconstructing your mix depends on what the changes are to look like. We will send you a price by email once we have assessed your requests.

When you request changes to your mix, we will let you know whether your change is considered an edit or a reconstruction.

Processing times can take up to 2 weeks. Processing times for reconstructions can take up to 3 weeks depending on the time of year.

11.5. Refunds / Cancelled Orders

Mixes are not eligible for reimbursement.

Cancellation is not possible after the start of production! You will be informed by us in writing about the start of production.

We reserve the right to cancel orders for any reason. If your order has been cancelled, we will notify you. If we cancel your order, refunds will be issued on a situational basis.

11.5. Licenses

The license agreement must be accepted when placing an order.

When the mix is delivered, you will receive a license verification document. This includes the complete license agreement and the respective licenses, should you have chosen cover songs for your mix. If you have not chosen any cover songs, the license agreement is sufficient as proof.

When you order music from ICheer, you agree that neither you nor anyone else will edit the licensed music you receive. If works outside of ICheer are still changed, your license for your mix will expire and will no longer be USA Cheer compliant.

Licenses are only valid for the season in which your mix was purchased. A season lasts from August to July of the following year. ICheer reserves the right to adjust our season for our international customers based on their respective competition calendar. A license for a mix can be extended to another season for a fee of €75.

In the event of such a breach of the agreement, the user's license will be revoked and the agreement terminated immediately.

11.6.3. Term and Termination

The user shall indemnify and thus release ICheer from any liability, loss, damage, costs, including attorney's fees, paid or incurred as a result of a breach or claim of infringement by a user, provided that such claims, losses, damages, costs, or liabilities are not based on ICheer's negligence.
