4. Platform Roles and Relationships
MerchandAise 运营市场并提供协作工具。除非另有明确说明,我们并不是通过平台销售商品的制造商。
The marketplace connects three primary user roles:
- Buyers enter into purchase contracts directly with the Supplier named in the order confirmation.
- Suppliers must comply with Sustainable Standards, provide accurate product data, and ensure timely fulfillment.
- Designers must confirm they hold the necessary rights to any assets they upload or generate.
We may assist with dispute resolution in good faith but do not guarantee any outcome.

Use the Platform in a lawful, respectful, and transparent manner.
Prohibited conduct includes:
- Uploading or sharing illegal, defamatory, harassing, discriminatory, or deceptive material.
- Infringing intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.
- Uploading malware, attempting to circumvent security, or interfering with site performance.
- Scraping, data mining, or using bots without our prior written consent.

We may remove content, suspend access, or notify authorities when necessary to protect the Platform or comply with law.
6. Sustainable Marketplace Standards
Suppliers must substantiate eco-claims with verifiable certifications or documentation upon request.
Materials should prioritize organic, recycled, or otherwise sustainable inputs and comply with EU and Swiss consumer protection requirements.
买家同意在下单前查看可持续性披露信息,并通过 support@merchandaise.com 提出任何疑虑。
We conduct audits, sampling, and community reporting to uphold sustainability commitments and may suspend Suppliers who fall short.
7. AI-Assisted Design Tools
AI Tools process prompts, logos, and design iterations to generate previews and production-ready files.
By using AI Tools you permit us to analyze inputs and outputs to operate, improve, and secure the services. We do not share your creative assets with third parties for their marketing without consent.
Avoid entering unnecessary personal data. When processing personal data, ensure you have a lawful basis under the GDPR and provide required notices.
AI outputs may need human review. You are responsible for verifying accuracy, compliance, and rights clearance before production.
We log AI activity to satisfy transparency duties under the DSA and to monitor misuse.
8. User Content and Intellectual Property
您保留对您的用户内容的所有权。您授予MerchandAise及其供应商全球范围内的、免版税的、可再许可的许可,以存储、复制、改编、制造、展示和分发用户内容,仅用于提供服务、履行订单和提供支持。
When collaboration features are enabled, you grant other users a limited license to view shared User Content.
Suppliers confirm they have the right to use any assets provided by Buyers or Designers. Buyers confirm they have the right to incorporate logos or third-party IP into designs.
We reserve the right to remove or disable access to User Content that appears unlawful or violates these Terms. Repeat infringement may lead to permanent Account closure.
所有平台的知识产权均由MerchandAise独家拥有。请勿复制、反向工程或重新品牌我们的软件、模型或界面。
9. Orders, Production, and Payments
Order pricing, specifications, and delivery timelines appear in order confirmations and the Terms of Sale.

Community areas are moderated in line with the DSA. We may remove harmful, misleading, or abusive content and may restrict repeat offenders.
11. Privacy and Data Protection

We do not control third-party availability or security, but we will act on credible reports of risk or misuse affecting our users.
14. Warranties and Disclaimers
The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We strive for accuracy and uptime but do not guarantee uninterrupted service or flawless AI outputs. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
To the extent allowed by law we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
15. Limitation of Liability
MerchandAise 对因使用平台而产生的间接、后果性、示范性或惩罚性损害,或因利润、收入、数据或商誉损失而产生的责任不承担,除非适用法律规定责任无法限制。
Our aggregate liability for all claims under these Terms is limited to the higher of EUR 500 or the total fees you paid to us in the twelve months preceding the claim, unless mandatory law requires a higher amount.
16. Indemnification
您同意赔偿并使 MerchandAise 及其附属公司、管理人员、员工和合作伙伴免受因您违反这些条款、侵犯第三方权利或滥用平台而引起的索赔。
We will notify you of indemnified claims without undue delay and allow you to participate in the defense in coordination with us.
17. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate Accounts for material breaches, fraudulent activity, legal requirements, or actions that threaten Platform integrity.
When reasonably possible we provide prior notice and an opportunity to remedy. Immediate suspension may occur when required to prevent harm or comply with law.
You may close your Account at any time via account settings. Outstanding payment obligations and sections intended to survive termination remain in force.
18. Dispute Resolution
请首先联系 support@merchandaise.com,以便我们可以尝试非正式地解决问题。
Business users agree to attempt mediation under the rules of the German Institution of Arbitration (DIS). If mediation does not resolve the dispute within 60 days, the matter proceeds to binding arbitration with one arbitrator, seat in Munich, Germany, and English as the language.
EU and Swiss consumers may access the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform or local alternative dispute resolution bodies. Participation is voluntary unless mandatory law requires otherwise.
Nothing prevents you from seeking interim relief or filing claims with competent authorities where permitted by law.
19. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory consumer protections of your residence still apply.
Exclusive forum for disputes with business users is Munich, Germany. Consumers may bring claims before courts in their country of residence or in Munich, as permitted by law.
For cross-border transactions involving Austrian suppliers, the parties may mutually agree to Austrian courts as an alternative venue.
20. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect legal developments, new features, or security requirements.
Material updates are announced at least 14 days before they take effect via email or dashboard notifications, unless immediate changes are required by law or security needs.
Continued use of the Platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
21. Severability and Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
The invalid portion will be replaced with a valid clause that most closely reflects the parties' original intent.
这些条款与相关平台政策共同构成您与MerchandAise之间关于平台使用的完整协议。
