§ 2 conclusion of contract

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the seller's web shop do not constitute binding offers for the seller to conclude a contract. On the other hand, they represent a request for the customer to submit a binding offer.

2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the seller's online ordering system. The customer can select individual products and add them to the virtual shopping basket by clicking on the "Add to shopping basket" button. The content of the virtual shopping cart is then displayed in a separate window. The customer can choose to add more products by clicking on the "Continue shopping" button or by clicking on the "Show shopping cart" button to go to the ordering process. As an introduction to the ordering process, the customer is shown an overview of the products in the shopping cart. There he has the option to change the number of individual products by clicking on "Quantity" or "Change" (pencil symbol) or to remove individual products from the shopping cart ("Remove" button). A click on the "Continue shopping" button takes the customer back to the web shop, where he can select other products as required. If you click on the "continue" button, the customer will be directed to the ordering process. A total of three (3) steps follow, namely "Select address", "Shipping & payment method" and "Check & send". In the first step, the customer can specify the shipping and possibly a different delivery address and also choose whether he wants to log into an existing customer account, create a new customer account or order as a guest. After clicking on the "Next" button, the customer goes to the next step. The desired payment method must be selected there. Another click on the "Next" button leads the customer to the order overview page in the next step. Here, all information given in the order can be checked again and corrected if necessary, such as the products, their number, the method of payment or the delivery or billing address. If no corrections are necessary and the customer wants to send his order with the data listed in the overview, it is sufficient to click on the button "order with payment". In this way, the customer makes a legally binding offer to conclude a purchase contract for the goods in the shopping cart. However, the customer can cancel the order process at any time (e.g. by closing the browser window) or go to the previous step (by clicking on the "Back" button or using the "Page back" function of the browser).

2.3 The seller can accept the customer's offer within five (5) days by sending the customer a confirmation (e.g. by email) or by delivering the ordered goods to the customer; in the first case the receipt of the declaration of acceptance is decisive, in the latter case the receipt of the goods by the customer. If there is no acceptance by the seller within the period, this is considered a rejection of the offer. In this case, the customer is no longer bound to his declaration of intent.

2.4 The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the customer sends the offer and ends at the end of the fifth (5th) day after the offer has been sent.
