Terms and Conditions

Conclusion of the contract

With your order you are making a binding offer to us to conclude a contract with you. We can accept this offer by sending you an order confirmation by email or by delivering the ordered goods. First, you will receive a confirmation of receipt of your order by email to the email address you provided (order confirmation). However, a purchase contract is only concluded when our order confirmation is sent to you by email or when the goods ordered are delivered. When ordering via our online shop, the ordering process comprises a total of 4 steps. In the first step you select the desired goods and enter your customer data including the billing address and, if applicable, a different delivery address. Here you have the opportunity to check all the information (e.g. name, address, method of payment, ordered items) again and, if necessary, to correct them before you send us your order by clicking on 'Order for a fee'. In the second step you will receive an order confirmation. In the third step, you will pay in advance. In the last step, the goods are sent to you along with the original invoice.

Storage of the contract text

We save the contract text of your order. We will send you an order confirmation with all order data to the email address you provided.
