Within the shopping cart the product selection can be changed, e.g. deleted. Subsequently, the customer can proceed to the completion of the order process within the shopping cart by clicking on the button CONTINUE TO CHECKOUT.
X.2) By clicking on the button ORDER FOR PAYMENT, the Customer submits a binding request to purchase the goods in the shopping cart. Before submitting the order, the customer can change and view the data at any time and use the browser function “back” to return to the shopping cart or cancel the ordering process altogether. Required information is marked with an asterisk (*).
X.3) The Seller shall then send the Customer an automatic confirmation of receipt by e-mail, in which the Customer’s order is listed again and which the Customer can print out using the “Print” function (order confirmation). The automatic acknowledgement of receipt merely documents that the seller has received the customer’s order and does not constitute acceptance of the application. The purchase contract is concluded only when the seller has shipped the ordered product within 2 days to the customer, handed over or confirmed the shipment to the customer within 2 days with a second e-mail, express order confirmation or sending the invoice. Acceptance may further be made by a request for payment sent by the Seller to the Customer and at the latest by the completion of the payment transaction. In the event of several acceptance procedures, the earliest acceptance time shall be decisive. If the Seller does not accept the Customer’s offer within the acceptance period, no contract shall be concluded and the Customer shall no longer be bound by its offer.
X.4) In the case of customers who are companies, the aforementioned period for dispatch, delivery or order confirmation is seven days instead of two.
X.5) Should the Seller enable payment in advance, the contract shall be concluded upon provision of the bank data and request for payment. If the payment is not received by the seller within 10 calendar days after sending the order confirmation, the seller withdraws from the contract with the consequence that the order is invalid and the seller is not obliged to deliver. The order is then completed for the buyer and seller without further consequences. A reservation of the article in case of advance payment is therefore made for a maximum of 10 calendar days.

XI.4) The Customer Account may only be used in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions, in particular the provisions on the protection of third party rights, and in accordance with the Seller’s GTC by means of the access masks and other technical access options provided by the Seller.

XI.5) Insofar as customers store, specify or otherwise post content or information (hereinafter referred to as “content”) within the customer account, the customers are responsible for this information. The seller does not adopt the content of the customers. However, the Seller reserves the right to take appropriate measures depending on the degree of risk of infringement emanating from the content, in particular the risk to third parties. Measures that take into account the criteria of necessity, appropriateness, diligence, objectivity as well as reasonableness and the interests of all parties involved, in particular the fundamental rights of the customers, may include the (partial) deletion of content, requests for action and explanations, warnings and warning notices as well as house bans.
XI.6) Customers may terminate the customer account at any time. The seller may terminate the customer account at any time with reasonable notice, which is usually two weeks. The termination must be reasonable for the customer. The seller reserves the right to terminate the contract for extraordinary reasons.
