3. Ordering photo puzzles to be produced according to customer requirements

At www.myRavensburger.com, you can use our puzzle designer to design photo puzzles with your own image files.

Unfortunately, we can only process files in *.jpg or *.jpeg formats. The maximum permitted image file size is 19 MB. An *.ipg format must be created in the RGB colour range. For more information on the technical requirements of the photos to be processed and on the puzzle formats, go to Questions about photo selection.

Additionally, the photos you submit must meet the following requirements:
  • The ordering party must hold the necessary rights to publication of the images in the form of photo puzzles.
  • The images to be published must not violate any third party rights.
  • The image material must not contain any offensive content and must be compatible with the Ravensburger brand image. The decision on this point will be taken exclusively at the discretion of Ravensburger.
  • Image material must not contain content that is illegal, glorifies violence, incites hatred or is racist. Similarly, it must not contain propaganda, symbols of anti-constitutional parties or their organisations or incitements to crimes.
  • Image material must not contain pornographic content or content that represents the sexual abuse of children or sexual acts with animals, or that contains statements or representations that constitute discrimination on the grounds of race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age.
  • The publication of the image material in the form of photo puzzles must not violate any laws, in particular laws for the protection of minors or penal laws – this applies in particular to the statutory regulations defined in §§ 184 ff. StGB [Strafgesetzbuch: German Penal Code] (Dissemination of Pornography), 185 ff. StGB (Defamation, Libel, Slander), and to the regulations of the Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Minors from Harmful Media Content.

Ravensburger is entitled to withdraw from the contract at any time if, in the opinion of Ravensburger, the images or image files submitted do not comply with the above described technical and content-related requirements. In such a case, Ravensburger will inform the customer of this withdrawal by e-mail.

The data and image products supplied by the customer are processed in a technically automated process without manual pre-checking and correction by Ravensburger. For this reason, we unfortunately cannot accept complaints of faults that are attributable to the image material submitted by the customer. This applies in particular to image files with insufficient resolution or excessive compression.

4. Customer liability for image material submitted

The customer is solely responsible for the content of the image files transferred. It is assumed that the customer holds the necessary rights to all transferred works, files, and images. This applies irrespective of the fact that Ravensburger subjects the image material submitted to random checks. Ravensburger is excluded from all forms of liability whatsoever for the content of photo puzzles produced using externally submitted image material, even if that image material was subjected to a check.

The customer guarantees in particular that

  • He holds the necessary, unrestricted rights to the images and files, and/or that he has obtained the necessary rights of disposition
  • The images, content and materials submitted to Ravensburger do not violate any copyrights and/or rights of use, trademark rights, personal rights, other third-party rights or criminal law provisions
  • In all other respects, this material complies with the content-related requirements specified in No. 3.

Should such rights be violated, the customer will indemnify and hold harmless Ravensburger from all claims by third parties. If necessary, the customer will support Ravensburger in its defence against such a claim. The customer will bear the costs incurred by Ravensburger in this context (legal representation, court fees, fines, etc.).

5. Granting of rights of use of the image material by the customer

In order to enable us to carry out the order, the customer grants us the non-exclusive right, unrestricted by time or place, to use the image data provided to Ravensburger for the work to be performed in the course of processing the order. Included here is also the saving, reproduction and processing of the image data. This may also include the right to provide individual images to third parties in the course of processing the order.

6. Filing the text of the contract / Customer account

Your order and the order data you submit will be filed in your personal customer account. You create this account before your first order from our online shop. You can access your customer account at any time using the login data partly chosen by yourself and partly specified by us during your first registration. Your customer account gives you the option of printing out your orders complete with all the entered data at any time. Furthermore, we send an order confirmation complete with all the details to the email address you specified when you placed your order. You can also print out the order and our General Terms and Conditions of Trade during the ordering process.

7. Instructions on withdrawal

Unfortunately, there is no statutory right of withdrawal regarding such personalised products (Section 312g paragraph 2 number 1 German Civil Code (BGB)).

Right of withdrawal
