2.3.The Customer can initially place the products in the shopping cart without obligation and use the correction aids provided and explained in the order process to correct their entries at any time before sending their binding order.

2.4.The Merchant may accept the Customer’s offer within five (5) days by sending the Customer a confirmation letter (e.g., by e-mail). If the Merchant does not accept the offer within the period, then this is considered to be a rejection of the offer. In this case, the Customer is no longer bound to their offer.

After placement of an order, the Customer receives a message confirming this in the browser window; this message includes the option to print the order confirmation.

These costs may include expenses for transfer of funds by credit institutions (e.g., transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g., customs duties).

The Customer must also prove their identity accordingly and confirm the payment instruction to the Merchant. The Customer receives further instructions during the ordering process. The payment transaction will be executed immediately afterwards by Sofort GmbH, and the Customer’s account will be debited. In the event of a return, the amount will be refunded to the Customer with the issue of a credit to the specified account.
