§2.3 Should our order acknowledgement contain typing or printing errors or should our price conditions be transmitted incorrectly due to technical issues, we are entitled to rescission of the contract while being obliged to give you evidence of our error. Payments that have already been made will be refunded to you without delay.

§2.4 We deliver products only “while stocks last”. In the event that we have not been provided with a certain product or certain products by our suppliers without fault on our side, the ordered product/s will no longer be available and we shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract. In such an event we will inform you without delay. We will, if applicable, reimburse you for any payments made.

§2.5 In the case of a credit card payment, your account will be debited upon order completion.

On orders eligible for free delivery, posterior delivery charges will arise if the total value of the order sinks below the free delivery threshold as a consequence of a return.

§5 Terms of delivery

If you choose to pay by credit card, your account will be debited as soon as you complete the order.

Please be aware that some orders paid for via credit card may be chosen at random to perform a security check over the phone. This is done in order to protect the customer from possible fraud.

§6.3 If the payment for the goods is delayed, the customer is liable to pay interest on the

purchasing price at a rate of 5% above the base rate. This is applicable throughout the period of delay. We reserve the right to claim for a higher cost of damage should the latter be incurred by the delay in payment.

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 30 days without specifying a reason. The withdrawal period will expire after 30 days, starting from the day you, or a third party nominated by you, (excluding a consignor) receive(s) the goods.

§13 Technical steps to conclude a contract by offer and acceptance

To make an order and conclude a contract, a customer has to do as follows:

When a customer is on the product description page, s/he can click on “add to basket”, to enter into the next step of the process. A little window opens up on the right hand side of the screen and confirms the product’s features (size, price, quantity).

The customer can browse around and find other products to add to the basket or click on “Go to check out” to go to the second phase of the transaction process. A new page opens to recapitulate the full details of the shopping basket. After the customer has proof read this page he can click on “Go to check out”. The next page that appears depends on whether the customer is connected into his/her user account already or not. If the customer is not logged in s/he is asked to log in (clicking on: “Login via secure server”) or create an account (clicking on: “continue via secure server”).

Depending on the customer’s status, s/he is asked to add his delivery address and choose his/her payment mode or if s/he has already ordered before, the address information will appear automatically. The payment method is either saved or the customer is asked to choose the payment method. Depending on the payment method, the customer will be asked to give more information. By clicking on “next” s/he is directed to the next page of the transaction process.

This next page is an overview of the customer’s previous choices: the products in the basket, the address and the payment method. If the customer is satisfied with the information provided, s/he can click on “Submit”.

The customer is redirected to the confirmation page that confirms that the transaction was successful and that the order will be processed.

The seller’s form of acceptance of the purchase offer can be found under the terms and conditions §2

§14 Storing the contract text

The contract text will be kept by us and sent to the customer in a text format (e.g. letter or eMail) alongside the terms and conditions once the order has been confirmed. The contract text will be archived by us and will be provided to the customer by the customer service team upon request.

§15 Technical Information to correct mistakes when making an order

Before submitting an order, the customer has the possibility to correct any given information by using the standard keyboard and mouse. It is possible to go back to previous pages and modify the information before confirming the order.

§16 Information about the language of the contract

The contract language is Spanish, German or English.

§17 Information about codes of conduct

The seller has not submitted any codes of conduct.
