The inclusion of the customer's own terms and conditions is hereby objected to unless otherwise agreed.
1.2 For the purposes of these terms and conditions, a consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly cannot be attributed to their commercial or self-employed professional activity. An entrepreneur, on the other hand, is a natural or legal person or a legal partnership with legal personality who, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or self-employed professional activity.
1.3 The subject matter of the contract may, depending on the product description provided by the seller, involve both the purchase of goods in the form of a one-time delivery and the purchase of goods in the form of a permanent delivery. In the case of a subscription contract, the seller undertakes to deliver the contractually owed goods to the customer at the contractually owed intervals for the duration of the agreed contract term.
Incorrect Address Provided by the Buyer:
If an incorrect address is provided by the buyer during an order, we are not obliged to refund the invoice amount until the shipment is returned to us independently. However, we offer redirection to the correct address. Please contact us by email for this purpose.
2) Conclusion of Contract
2.1 The 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.
2.2 The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the seller's online shop. To do so, the customer, after placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and completing the electronic ordering process, submits a legally binding contractual offer with regard to the goods in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process.
2.3 The seller can accept the customer's offer within five days by:
sending the customer a written order confirmation or a confirmation in text form (fax or email), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or
delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
requesting payment from the customer after the customer has placed the order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives are available, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the customer sends the offer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this is deemed to be a rejection of the offer, with the result that the customer is no longer bound by their declaration of intent.

If the customer selects "PayPal Express" as the payment method during the online ordering process, by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process, the customer also simultaneously provides PayPal with a payment order.
