No right of withdrawal for personalized portraits

For goods that are not prefabricated and for the production of which an individual choice or determination by the consumer is decisive, or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer, there is no statutory right of withdrawal according to § 312g para. 2 no. 1 BGB.

This particularly applies to individually created portrait drawings, hand-painted portraits, oil paintings, family portraits, pet portraits, memorial portraits, and other personalized artworks that are created based on customer photos, customer requests, or personal specifications.

Why does this exception apply?

A personalized portrait is created specifically for a particular person, a specific photo, and personal wishes. It is not a stock product and therefore cannot be returned or resold like a standard item.

Sketchus creates such portraits by hand, by real artists. It is not an AI image, no automatic filter, and no ordinary digital print.

The cancellation period is 30 days from the day on which you or a third party designated by you, who is not the carrier, took possession of the goods.
