2) Conclusion of contract

2.1The product descriptions contained in the Seller's online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the Seller, but serve to submit a binding offer by the Customer.

2.2The customer can submit an offer via the online order form integrated into the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and completing the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer for the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that completes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller by email or via the online contact form.

  • he delivers the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
  • he will compensate the customer by requesting payment after placing his order.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time one of the aforementioned alternatives first occurs. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends on the expiry of the fifth day following the dispatch of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer, with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by their declaration of intent.

An effective technical means for better detection of input errors can be the browser's zoom function, which helps to enlarge the display on the screen. During the electronic ordering process, the Customer can correct their entries using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click the button that completes the order process.

2.8Various languages are available for concluding the contract. The specific language selection is displayed in the online shop.
