    The Story behind “Origin of Everything”:

    What does “Origin of Everything” mean? Well, it’s quite simple, this collection is dedicated to the origin of our universe and hence everything around us. The design is inspired by the first images recorded by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). These images enable a completely new view of our universe. The first Deep Field image shows thousands of stars and galaxies. The light from the most distant ones started traveling about 13.3 billion years ago until finally reaching the JWST, so almost at the dawn of the universe. This means that the image is really a look into the distant past. We see those galaxies like they were billions of years ago, hence it’s time travel in real life!

    Thanks so much to NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute for the publication and free usage of these amazing images. I urge you to explore the original images in full resolution and learn more about them at webbtelescope.org! I’m super excited which mind-blowing images the JWST will produce in the future and what we’ll learn from them!

    From these images, I selected the most interesting areas (at least in my view) including whole galaxies and stars, upscaled them and finally added them in the design as the leaves of a branch. So, you are actually looking at real galaxies, no artificial illustrations or renders! The branch originates from a singularity, which represents the Big Bang, so the moment in which the observable universe started to expand enabling the consecutive formation of atoms and ultimately everything around us.

    “Origin of Everything” thus symbolizes how the known universe including galaxies, stars and planets grew out of the Big Bang just like a tree growing a new branch that continuously evolves and eventually forms leaves enabling the plant to thrive. Imagine if the known universe is just a single branch of a larger tree, then who knows what the actual tree and all its other branches might be? I’ll let you reflect on that yourself!

    Thanks again for your support and interest!

    All the best,

    Andy

    Dear customer, dear friends,

    this Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com, my official store website (hosted by Etsy) or its related sites and services.

    This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.

    Information I Collect:

    To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (e.g., for a custom order of clothing), if you contact me directly.

    Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It:

    I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

    As needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
    when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
    if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
    as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as
    1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and
    2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

    Information Sharing and Disclosure:

    Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

    1) Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
    2) Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies and subcontractors manufacturing my physical products. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
    3) Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
    4) Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

    Data Retention:

    I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.

    Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU:

    I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on certified services.

    Your Rights:

    If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:

    Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.

    Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.

    Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.

    Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.

    How to Contact Me:

    For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Dr. Andreas Bachmeier, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at hello@bantho-official.com.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does a good cause mean for BANTHO?

    I started my brand BANTHO not to earn a lot of money, but to generate donations for charity to support less fortunate people worldwide. This is why I dedicated myself to donate 50% of my profit. I keep the other 50% to finance my work and expand the business to generate even more money for charity. My costs are mainly due to the hardware and software I use to create awesome designs for you as well as insurance costs. I also invest a lot of time for creating my designs. But this is the fun part ;)

    Feel free to contact me if you want to know more!

    Regards,

    Andy

    Which organizations do you give the collected donations to?

    Every quarter (3 months) we select an organization to give the collected donations in the name of my customers to. We select the organization based on the prevailing conflict at the time. This may for example be war in Syria or Ukraine. We will always announce the amount and organization via the shop announcements. If you have further questions, feel free to contact us!

    Regards,

    Anna & Andy

    How do you manufacture your products?

    All of our physical products are manufactured and shipped by our subcontractors Shirtee and Shirtigo from Germany. Shirtee and Shirtigo manufacture the garments and wall art products, respectively, in Germany and ship them to you from there. Etsy offsets the carbon emissions resulting from shipping and packaging the products.

    If you have further questions, feel free to contact us!

    Regards,

    Anna & Andy

    Can I return items?

    Yes you can return physical items within 14 days.

    However, please keep in mind the following:

    Every item is specifically manufactured for you and results in significant costs for our small business once returned as we have to check, wash, repackage, store and ship the product ourselves.

    This is also the reason why large companies tend to burn returned clothes as the process of reselling those items is unprofitable.

    This is why we ask you to order items responsibly. Not only for us but also for the environment!

    If an item is damaged, you will of course get reimbursed!

    Thank you very much for understanding!

    PS: We attach size tables to all clothing items so that you can choose the right size without having to order multiple sizes.

    What does BANTHO mean?

    BANTHO is a composition of the first letters of my last, first and middle name (Bachmeier ANdreas THOmas).

    Thank you for your interest!

    Best,

    Andy

Terms & Conditions and Right of Withdrawal

Dear customer, dear friends,

In the following, I include necessary General Terms and Conditions for my store.

Since this is always a bit confusing, please do not hesitate to contact me in case of questions.

Best,

Andy


In the following, I am the vendor, you are the customer.

Here we go:


Section 1 – Vendor, inclusion by reference of the General Terms and Conditions

(1) The vendor and contracting party for the merchandise presented in the store is
Dr. Andreas Bachmeier, Ellingerweg 94, 81673 Munich, Germany;
Phone: +49(0) 1629503868;
E-mail: hello@bantho-official.com.

(2) The present General Terms and Conditions are a component part of any contractual agreement made between the vendor and the respective customer. The vendor hereby objects to any terms and conditions that the customer may have established and that contradict the present General Terms and Conditions.

Section 2 – Merchandise offered and conclusion of contract

(1) The vendor is offering the articles presented in the store for sale to other Etsy users and customers outside Etsy. The colors of the articles shown on the website may vary slightly depending on the internet browser and monitor settings used by the customer; these variations are technically unavoidable. Further, the vendor uses virtual mockups as product images. The actual product may differ slightly from these, as the respective product is manufactured individually for the customer after the order.

(2) The selection of merchandise, conclusion of contract and implementation of the agreement shall all take place in either German or English.

(3) Physical merchandise will be manufactured and delivered by subcontractors based in Germany, where Shirtee manufactures BANTHO garments, stickers & bags and Shirtigo manufactures BANTHO wall art products.

(4) The customer shall select the merchandise desired by placing it in his or her shopping basket or by clicking on the checkout button. The order will be conclusively placed with the vendor by clicking on the place order button. Until the order is transmitted to the vendor, the customer has the opportunity to review, at any time, the data input when placing the order, to modify them or to completely discontinue the order.

(5) The vendor is making a binding sales offer for the merchandise presented in his shop. By transmitting the order using the place order button , the customer accepts the sales offer. The vendor shall confirm the conclusion of the contract by e-mail (order confirmation).

(6) The content of the contracts concluded is stored in the vendor’s and the customer’s Etsy user accounts and may be viewed by the customer at any time in the Etsy portal by clicking on the item “My Purchases” in the Etsy menu. Where a purchase is made outside of Etsy, the content of the contracts is sent via e-mail to the customer. The customer may review the privacy policy and general terms and conditions at any time on the BANTHO website (www.bantho-official.com/) or via the BANTHO Etsy Shop.

(7) The vendor shall inform the customer by e-mail of any impediments preventing the delivery from being made, or of any other circumstances that might prevent contractual performance. The customer will also receive a shipping confirmation when the order is shipped in one or more deliveries.

Section 3 – Prices and payment

(1) All product prices are end prices exclusive shipping costs. The indicated prices are total prices. Sales tax is not shown due to the vendors small business status (German law: § 19 UStG).

(2) Where deliveries are made to countries outside the EU, customs or acquisition tax for imported goods may have to be paid by the customer to the customs authorities upon receipt of the shipment. These duties will accrue in addition to the purchase price and the shipping costs; the vendor has no means of influencing them.

(3) The vendor shall deliver the merchandise – at the selection of the customer – against pre-payment by selecting the respective payments method. All payments are processed by Etsy.

(4) For orders by prepayment, a payment deadline of 1 day from contract confirmation applies, as physical goods are immediately manufactured on-demand for the customer. It is the customer's responsibility to make the payment in time to be received by the seller within the payment period. The seller reserves the right to withdraw from the purchase contract and cancel the order with the supplier if the payment is not received by the payment deadline.
Digital goods are to be paid immediately within 2 hours. Payments received by the customer after the withdrawal from the contract will be refunded to the customer.

Section 4 – Shipment, delivery periods

(1) The vendor shall deliver physical merchandise within 5-10 business days after payment is made. This is dependent on the subcontractor. The vendor cannot influence production times and shipping durations directly. Delivery is performed by the subcontractors Shirtee and Shirtigo utilizing their own shipping partners in case of physical products. In case of digital products, the merchandise may be downloaded immediately after the purchase has been completed.

(2) For deliveries to destinations outside Germany, an additional period of 1-10 business days, depending on the destination, has to be added to the respective domestic delivery time. Shipping times depend strongly on the location of the buyer. Estimated shipping times are shown when the respective country is selected on the product page.

(3) If the customer’s order contains more than one product, the products may be delivered in multiple shipments, depending on the purchased products (e.g. garments and wall art); for these shipments, the longest given delivery period for any of the contained products will apply. Again the vendor cannot influence shipping directly, as it is handled by subcontractors.

(4) Where a delivery cannot be made because the customer has provided a wrong or incomplete delivery address, an attempt to once again deliver the merchandise shall be made only if the customer accepts to bear the costs of re-shipping the merchandise. The re-shipping costs correspond to the shipping costs agreed at conclusion of contract.

Section 5 – Right of withdrawal (return items) for consumers

(1) A customer purchasing as consumer is entitled to a right of withdrawal in accordance with the statutory pre-requisites. A consumer means every natural person who enters into a legal transaction for a purpose that is mainly outside his commercial or self-employed professional activity.
The right of withdrawal does not apply to custom-made products, digital items, certain perishable goods, or goods that can’t be reused for health or hygiene reasons.

(2) The vendor shall grant a 14 day withdrawal period to a consumer having his permanent residence outside of Germany also in those cases in which the national laws applicable to the consumer provide for a shorter period; in derogation herefrom, the withdrawal period for consumers who have their permanent residence in Slovenia is 15 calendar days.

(3) The vendor shall allow any consumer having his permanent residence outside of Germany to transmit an informal declaration of withdrawal even in those cases in which the national laws applicable to the consumer provide for stricter requirements as to form.

(4) The pre-requisites and legal consequences of the German stipulations as to consumers’ rights of withdrawal shall apply to consumers having their permanent residence in Switzerland also in those cases in which Swiss law does not provide for a right of withdrawal.

(5) The shipping costs back to the vendor have to be paid by the customer.

(6) The withdrawal is possible with an e-mail sent to hello@bantho-official.com.

Possible return forms may be obtained from:
www.etsy.com/legal/policy/eu-directive-on-consumer-rights/242644519829

Section 6 - Refund Rules

The vendor will issue a refund within 14 days of receiving the returned item or evidence that the item has been shipped back. The refund includes the shipping cost for the initial delivery to the customer.

Section 7 – Warranty

Warranty claims shall be governed by the statutory regulations.

Section 8 – Final provisions

(1) The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, to the exclusion of the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods (UNCISG). However, German law shall not apply to transactions with consumers having their permanent residence abroad to the extent the national laws applicable to those consumers set out provisions that cannot be contracted out to the detriment of the consumers.

(2) Where the customer is a merchant, an entity under public law or special assets under public law, the parties agree that the vendor’s registered seat shall be the place of jurisdiction.

(3) Should individual provisions of the present General Terms and Conditions prove to be invalid or impossible to implement, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

For extrajudicial settlements of consumer disputes, the European Union has launched an online platform ("ODR platform"):
