The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the offered products and/or services. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow a proper assessment of the offer by the consumer.
If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a truthful representation of the offered products and/or services. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.

Images accompanying products are a truthful representation of the products offered. The entrepreneur cannot guarantee that the displayed colors exactly match the actual colors of the products.
Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are attached to the acceptance of the offer. This concerns in particular:

  • Any delivery costs;

  • The way in which the contract will be concluded and what actions are required for this;

  • Whether or not the right of withdrawal applies;

  • The method of payment, delivery, and execution of the contract;

  • The period for accepting the offer, or the period within which the entrepreneur guarantees the price;

If the contract is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur shall take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and shall ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur shall take appropriate security measures.
The entrepreneur may – within legal frameworks – verify whether the consumer can meet their payment obligations, as well as all facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the distance contract. If the entrepreneur has good reason, based on this investigation, not to enter into the contract, they are entitled to refuse an order or request with reasons, or to attach special conditions to the implementation.
The entrepreneur shall send the following information to the consumer along with the product or service, in writing or in such a way that the consumer can store it in an accessible manner on a durable medium:

Article 6 – Right of withdrawal
When purchasing products, the consumer has the option to dissolve the contract without giving any reason for a period of 30 days.
This cooling-off period starts on the day after the product is received by the consumer or a third party designated by the consumer and made known to the entrepreneur in advance.
During the cooling-off period, the consumer shall handle the product and its packaging with care. They will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to assess whether they wish to keep the product.
If they exercise their right of withdrawal, they shall return the product with all delivered accessories and – if reasonably possible – in the original condition and packaging to the entrepreneur, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.

After the consumer has indicated that they wish to exercise their right of withdrawal, the product must be returned within 30 days. The consumer must prove that the items were returned on time, for example, by means of proof of shipment.
If the consumer has not indicated that they wish to exercise their right of withdrawal after the periods mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3 and/or has not returned the product to the entrepreneur, the purchase is a fact.

Article 8 – Exclusion of the Right of Withdrawal
The entrepreneur may exclude the consumer's right of withdrawal for certain products as described in paragraphs 2 and 3. The exclusion of the right of withdrawal applies only if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this in the offer, or at least in good time before concluding the agreement.

Article 9 – The Price
During the validity period stated in the offer, the prices of the offered products and/or services will not be increased, except for price changes due to changes in VAT rates.
Contrary to the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur may offer products or services with variable prices whose prices are subject to fluctuations in the financial market and over which the entrepreneur has no influence. These fluctuations and the fact that any mentioned prices are target prices will be stated in the offer.
Price increases within three months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if they are the result of legal regulations or provisions.

Article 10 – Conformity and Warranty
The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications stated in the offer, reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability, and the legal provisions and/or government regulations existing on the date of the conclusion of the agreement. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for use other than normal use.
A warranty provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer or importer does not affect the legal rights and claims that the consumer may assert against the entrepreneur under the agreement.
Any defects or incorrectly delivered products must be reported to the entrepreneur in writing within 30 days after delivery. Products must be returned in the original packaging and in new condition.
The warranty period provided by the entrepreneur corresponds to the manufacturer's warranty period. However, the entrepreneur is never responsible for the final suitability of the products for each individual application by the consumer, nor for any advice regarding the use or application of the products.
The warranty does not apply if:
The consumer has repaired and/or modified the delivered products themselves or has had them repaired and/or modified by third parties.
The delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or otherwise carelessly handled or treated contrary to the instructions of the entrepreneur and/or on the packaging.

Taking into account the provisions of Article 4 of these general terms and conditions, the company shall execute accepted orders with due speed but no later than within 30 days, unless the consumer has agreed to a longer delivery period.
If the delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot or only partially be carried out, the consumer shall be informed of this no later than 30 days after placing the order. In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement without costs and the right to any compensation.
In the event of dissolution in accordance with the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur shall refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after dissolution.
If delivery of an ordered product proves to be impossible, the entrepreneur shall endeavor to make a replacement item available. No later than at the time of delivery, it shall be clearly and comprehensibly stated that a replacement item is being delivered.
