2. Conclusion of contract

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the online shop of the seller do not constitute binding offers by the seller, but serve to make a binding offer by the customer. The customer may submit the offer via the online order form integrated in the online shop of the seller. In this case, after the customer has placed the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and has gone through the electronic ordering process, by clicking on the button concluding the ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contract offer in relation to the goods contained in the shopping cart. Furthermore, the customer may submit the offer to the seller by telephone, e-mail or online contact form.

2.3 The seller may accept the offer of the customer within five days

  • by sending to the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), in which case the receipt of the order confirmation at the customer is authoritative,
  • or by delivering the ordered goods, in which case the access of the goods at the customer is authoritative,
  • or by requesting the customer for payment.

If there is more than one of the above alternatives, the contract comes into effect at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The deadline for the acceptance of the offer begins to run on the day after the submission of the offer by the customer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day, which follows the dispatch of the offer. If the seller does not accept the offer of the customer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by his declaration of intent.
