Changes to the general terms and conditions will be announced to the customer in writing or by email and published on the Internet.

§ 1 General functionality when renting by the provider
After registration, the customer has the opportunity to select the items of clothing presented on the provider’s website in order to rent them. It is also possible to purchase these items of clothing after rental and subject to availability (Part 3 of these Terms and Conditions).
§ 2 Conclusion of contract
The presentation of the goods by the provider does not constitute a binding offer. Only the ordering of the goods by the customer is a binding offer in accordance with Section 145 of the German Civil Code (BGB).
The customer can select fashion items to rent from the provider’s range and collect them in a so-called shopping cart using a button. Using another button, he makes a binding offer to rent each individual fashion item in the shopping cart for a specific period of time at a specific price. The prices are shown per day. Before submitting the order, the customer can change and view the data at any time. However, the offer can only be made and transmitted if the customer has accepted these general terms and conditions and the data protection declaration and thereby included them in his offer. The customer confirms this when submitting the order.
After placing the order, the customer will be asked to pay by credit card. If the payment process and the corresponding identity check are successful and confirmed to the provider, the customer will receive an automated confirmation by email from the provider in which the customer’s order is listed again. This confirmation represents acceptance of the offer and the contract is thereby concluded.
§ 3 Duration of the rental agreement and shipping dates
1. The rental agreement begins on the day the customer receives the fashion item, but at the earliest on the desired rental start date chosen by the customer. The rental period must begin no later than two weeks after the order was placed.
2. The minimum rental period is 2 days.
3. The rental agreement ends at the end of the last day of the rental period selected by the customer. The customer must return the goods to the provider no later than the working day following the last day of the rental agreement. If the last day of the rental period is a Sunday or a public holiday (public holiday within the meaning of federal and state regulations), the obligation to return the item is postponed to the following working day.
For each day of delay, the customer must pay the provider a usage compensation amounting to the daily rental price plus a further €10.00 including statutory sales tax. The assertion of further damages remains unaffected.
If there is a delay of more than seven days, the provider is also entitled to terminate the contract. In this case, the provider is also entitled to withhold the full amount of the security deposit. Part II § 9 No. 2 and 3 of these conditions regulates further details.
4. Return in accordance with the contract is generally only possible in accordance with the return conditions in accordance with Part II § 7 of these conditions.
5. The customer can extend the rental agreement during the rental period. The provider informs the customer of this by email before the end of the rental period.
6. The extension can take place until the rental price has reached the displayed value of the fashion item. As soon as the total rental price to be paid and paid has reached the value of the fashion item, the provider permanently waives its right to return the fashion item and informs the customer accordingly by email. In this case, the provider and the customer agree that ownership of the fashion item is transferred to the customer, § 929 sentence 2 BGB.
7. If the customer continues to use the rental property after the rental period has expired without extending it himself, the rental agreement is not deemed to have been tacitly extended.

If there is a defect that was not previously identified by the provider upon receipt of the fashion item or if a defect becomes apparent during use by the customer, the customer must inform the provider of this immediately. When the item is returned, the provider will decide based on the condition of the fashion item whether and, if so, to what extent, payments already made can be refunded.
4. Any rights the customer may have to a rent reduction or compensation due to defects in the rental property are hereby excluded.

– Use by people who have not yet reached the age of 18
– Use for subletting
– Use for commercial purposes, such as advertising photos, film recordings and other advertising purposes

§ 8 Special payment conditions
When ordering the fashion item to be rented, the customer pays the provider the rental price as an advance payment, the amount of which is calculated based on the selected rental period. This payment will be offset against any other claims.
§ 9 Security deposit
1. When ordering the fashion item to be rented, the customer provides the provider with a security deposit in the amount of the amount indicated in relation to the respective fashion item, which corresponds to the value of the fashion item, to secure the provider’s claims.
2. If, after the rental agreement has ended and the returned fashion item has been examined by the provider within a reasonable inspection period, it emerges that the provider still has outstanding claims from the rental agreement, these will be offset against the rental security. If there are no longer any claims from the rental agreement, the rental security will be refunded to the customer. The security deposit is particularly required in the event of damage or late return of the fashion item. In the event of a delay within the meaning of Part II § 3 No. 3 of these conditions of seven days or more and the provider terminates the contract as a result, the provider is entitled to withhold the full amount of the security deposit.
3. In addition, when renting a fashion item that is available exclusively for rental purposes, the customer provides a further security deposit of €10.00 with regard to the packaging material used by the provider and to be used for return by the customer. This security deposit will be returned if the packaging material is properly returned to the provider when the fashion item is returned.

1. The customer is liable to the provider for damages for which he is responsible resulting from loss or damage to the rented fashion item.

Part 4 – General terms and conditions of use for the brokerage services on the CODRESSING platform
§ 1 Description of services
The provider offers brokerage services (“brokerage services”) using the CODRESSING platform (“platform”), on which customers (“landlord-customer”) make rental offers (“offer”) for fashion and clothing items (“items”) for rent offered without and with a purchase option and can be rented by another customer (“tenant-customer”) and purchased if the purchase option is exercised. Furthermore, other article-related content can be published on the platform, provided that its offer, purchase or publication does not violate legal provisions or these General Terms and Conditions.
§ 2 Contractual relationships
1. The provider does not offer any items as part of the provision of the brokerage services and does not become a contractual partner in the contracts concluded exclusively between customers using the provider’s brokerage service.
2. The provider provides services to customers by providing them with an offer format and functions on the platform so that contracts can be initiated and concluded using the brokerage services. The provider checks the condition of the landlord-customer’s item based on the photographs submitted. The landlord-customer can then post an item directly on the provider’s platform after the item has been checked and approved by the provider.
For these services provided by the provider in connection with the operation of the platform, the landlord-customer must pay a service fee if he or she concludes a contract with a tenant-customer (see Section 3, Section 1 below for the conclusion of the contract).
3. The provider offers its customers brokerage services within the meaning of brokerage law. In the event that a rental agreement and/or purchase agreement is concluded between the landlord-customer and the tenant-customer, the client and therefore the contractual partner of the provider is the tenant-customer (for the conclusion of the contract, see Part 4 § 3 Number 2 below).
4. The provider only promotes the platform and its services and for this purpose provides third parties with access to the customer’s content so that they can promote the content on websites, in software applications and in emails.
§ 3 Conclusion of contract
1. With regard to the conclusion of the contract for the services between the provider and the landlord-customer, the following applies:
The provision of the provider’s order form to be filled out by the landlord-customer for the listing of his item represents a binding offer by the provider to conclude a paid service contract with the proviso that a service fee only applies if a rental agreement is concluded between the tenant-customer and the Landlord-customer comes into being.
By clicking on the “A” “RENT OUT MY ITEMS” button , the landlord-customer accepts the provider’s offer to conclude the paid service contract.
2. With regard to the conclusion of the contract for the brokerage services between the provider and the tenant-customer, the following applies:
Providing the order form to be filled out by the tenant-customer represents a binding offer by the provider to conclude a paid brokerage contract.
By clicking on the “B” “CONFIRM MY ORDER” button , the tenant-customer accepts the provider’s offer to conclude the brokerage contract.
3. With regard to the conclusion of the contract between the customers, the following applies:
The presentation of the item by the landlord-customer on the provider’s platform does not constitute a binding offer from the landlord-customer. Only the ordering of the goods by the tenant-customer is a binding offer in accordance with Section 145 of the German Civil Code (BGB).
The tenant-customer can select fashion items from the landlord-customer range and collect them in a so-called shopping cart using the “ADD TO MY BASKET” button. Using the additional button “CONFIRM MY ORDER” he makes a binding offer to rent each individual fashion item in the shopping cart. Before sending the order, the tenant-customer can view and change the data at any time. However, the offer can only be made and transmitted if the tenant-customer has accepted these general terms and conditions and the data protection declaration and thereby included them in his offer.
After placing an order, the renter-customer will be asked to pay by credit card. If the payment process is successful and is confirmed accordingly to the landlord-customer, the tenant-customer will receive an automated email order confirmation from the landlord-customer via the provider’s platform, in which the tenant-customer’s order is listed again. This order confirmation represents acceptance of the offer and the contract is thereby concluded.
4. The landlord-customer can also add a purchase option to offers. This option can be exercised by the tenant-customer. By clicking on the “C” “I KEEP THE ITEM” button , the tenant-customer accepts the landlord-customer’s offer to conclude the purchase contract.

Deadlines for accepting offers that end during such maintenance work will not be extended, although contracts cannot be concluded during this period. In these cases, the provider takes into account the legitimate interests of the customers, such as: B. through advance information via email.

13. Customers are not allowed to block, overwrite or modify any content generated by the provider or other customers or interfere with the provider’s services in any other way.
§ 6 Measures in the event of unlawful and/or contractual behavior by customers
