(5) Before placing the order, the contract data can be printed out or electronically saved using the browser's print function. The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract, in particular the order data, the GTC and the cancellation policy, is carried out by e-mail after you have placed the order, in some cases automatically. We do not save the text of the contract after it has been concluded. We attach great importance to protecting your privacy and would like to point out that the data you provide when making a purchase, including your e-mail address, may be used to send you an e-mail with a feedback link afterwards. This enables us to find out what you think about our products and your shopping experience and to continuously improve them. Your data will be treated confidentially and used in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations.

(6) Input errors can be corrected using the usual keyboard, mouse and browser functions (e.g. "back button" of the browser). They can also be corrected by aborting the order process prematurely, closing the browser window and repeating the process.

(7) The processing of the order and the transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have provided to us is correct, that the receipt of the e-mails is technically guaranteed and, in particular, that it is not prevented by SPAM filters.

§ 3 Subject matter of the contract and essential characteristics of the products

(1) In the case of our online shop, the subject matter of the contract is:

1. The sale of goods. The actual goods offered can be found on our article pages.

(2) The essential characteristics of the goods can be found in the item description. If the agreed quality of the goods deviates from their usual quality and conditions of use, this shall be expressly indicated in the item description (negative quality agreement). Insofar as the customer has given his express consent to the negative deviation in quality, this defines the subject matter of the contract.

§ 4 Prices, shipping costs and delivery

(1) The prices quoted in the respective offers as well as the shipping costs are total prices and include all price components including all applicable taxes.

(2) The respective purchase price is to be paid before delivery of the product (advance payment), unless we expressly offer purchase on account.

Unless otherwise stated for the individual payment methods, the payment claims are due for payment immediately.

(3) In addition to the stated prices, shipping costs may be incurred for the delivery of products, unless the respective item is shown as free of shipping costs. The shipping costs will be clearly communicated to you again on the offers, if applicable in the shopping basket system and on the order overview.

§ 8 Liability

(1) Subject to the following exceptions, our liability for contractual breaches of duty and for tortious acts shall be limited to intent or gross negligence.

(2) We shall be liable without limitation in the event of slight negligence in the event of injury to life, limb or health or in the event of a breach of a material contractual obligation. If we are in default with the performance due to slight negligence, if the performance has become impossible or if we have breached an essential contractual obligation, the liability for material damage and financial loss resulting therefrom shall be limited to the amount of the damage. Damage foreseeable and typical for this type of contract limited. A material contractual obligation is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place, whose breach jeopardises the achievement of the purpose of the contract and on whose compliance you may regularly rely. This includes in particular our obligation to take action and to fulfil the contractually owed performance, which is described in § 3.

§ 9 Warranty

(1) The warranty shall be governed by the statutory provisions.

(2) The warranty period for delivered goods vis-à-vis entrepreneurs is 12 months.

If you do not comply with this, this will of course have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.

§ 10 Final Provisions/Dispute Resolution

(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence is not withdrawn as a result (favourability principle).

(2) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.

(3) If the Customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from contractual relationships between the Customer and the Provider shall be the Provider's registered office.
