(a) Technical process of an order on the Internet: Please place the desired products to your virtual shopping basket. You can access and manage your existing customer account or create a new customer account from the shopping cart or via the "My account" link. Alternatively, you can also order online from us without creating a customer account. While your checkout you select the delivery modalities. You then specify the payment method. Finally, you can re-check all entries for input errors and make necessary changes to your entries before submitting your order with the "buy" button. Please refer to the on-screen instructions that will guide you through your order.

(b) Order confirmation: If you place an electronic order on the Internet, you will receive an e-mail with a non-binding electronic confirmation, consisting of the specific order data: buyer, billing and delivery address (products, price, payment method, etc.) that we have received your order. This email does not yet represent a binding order confirmation (see section 4.c + d).

(c) We save your order and then execute it as soon as possible. You can view your past orders in our customer login area (my account). On orders placed without a customer account, order details are no longer accessible on the Internet for security reasons.

(d) Languages: The ordering process is available in German and English.

§ 4 Conclusion of contract

(a) The presentation and advertising of articles in our online shop does not constitute a binding offer to conclude a sales contract. Rather, it is an invitation to place an order. By placing your order you expressly accept the General Terms and Conditions.

(b) By sending an order via the online shop when clicking the "buy" button you are submitting a legally binding order. Alternatively, you have the option of placing your order by phone, by letter, by fax or by e-mail. If you should not receive a declaration of acceptance, separate order confirmation or notification of the delivery of the goods or no goods within 5 days, you are no longer bound to your order. In this case, the contract will not come into effect. We will inform you about this as soon as possible and reimburse any payments already received.Your existing right under §1 of these terms and conditions to cancel your order after the conclusion of the contract remains unaffected.

(c) We will confirm the receipt of your order via the online shop immediately by e-mail. This e-mail does not constitute a binding acceptance of the order, unless it expressly declares acceptance in addition to confirmation of receipt.

(d) A contract is only concluded when we accept the order by a declaration of acceptance in text form (e.g. by email) or by delivery of the ordered items. If a contract has been concluded, but items ordered from our suppliers are not available in the foreseeable future despite timely cover business, we reserve the right to withdraw from the contract. If we recognize this, we will notify you immediately and refund payments already made.

(e) German law applies to the exclusion of the UN Sales Convention. Any other mandatory consumer protection law of the permanent residence of the purchaser remain unaffected.
