- Before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance contract is concluded that the general terms and conditions can be viewed with the entrepreneur and that, upon the consumer's request, they will be sent as soon as possible free of charge.
- If the distance agreement is concluded electronically, in deviation from the previous paragraph and before the distance agreement is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions can be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that it can be easily stored by the consumer on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance agreement is concluded where the general terms and conditions can be accessed electronically and that they will be sent to the consumer free of charge electronically or in another way upon request.
- In the event that specific product or service conditions apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs shall apply accordingly, and the consumer may always invoke the applicable provision that is most favourable to them in the case of conflicting general terms and conditions.
- If one or more provisions in these general terms and conditions are wholly or partially invalid or are annulled at any time, the agreement and these terms shall remain in effect for the remainder, and the relevant provision shall be promptly replaced by a provision that as closely as possible reflects the intent of the original in mutual consultation.
- Situations not covered by these general terms and conditions should be assessed 'in the spirit' of these general terms and conditions.

- The offer is non-binding. The entrepreneur has the right to change and adjust the offer.
- The offer includes a complete and accurate description of the products and/or services offered. The description is detailed enough to enable the consumer to make a proper assessment of the offer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a truthful representation of the products and/or services offered. Obvious mistakes or apparent errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
- All images, specifications, and data in the offer are indicative and cannot be grounds for compensation or termination of the agreement.
- Images of products are a true representation of the offered products. The entrepreneur cannot guarantee that the displayed colours exactly match the actual colours of the products.

- the price including taxes;
- the potential shipping costs;
- the manner in which the agreement will be established and what actions are necessary for that;
- the applicability or non-applicability of the right of withdrawal;
- the method of payment, delivery and execution of the agreement;
- the deadline for accepting the offer, or the period within which the entrepreneur guarantees the price;
- the amount of the fee for remote communication if the costs of using the technology for remote communication are calculated on a basis other than the regular basic rate for the communication method used;

- the minimum duration of the distance contract in the case of a long-term transaction.
Article 5 - The agreement
- The agreement is concluded, subject to the provisions in paragraph 4, at the moment the consumer accepts the offer and meets the conditions set forth.
- If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the entrepreneur shall promptly confirm receipt of the acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as the agreement based on this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer may dissolve the agreement.
- If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and will ensure a safe web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate security measures in this regard.
- The entrepreneur can inform themselves - within legal frameworks - whether the consumer can meet their payment obligations, as well as be aware of all the facts and factors that are relevant for responsibly entering into a distance contract. If the entrepreneur has good grounds based on this investigation not to enter into the contract, they are entitled to refuse an order or application with justification or to attach special conditions to the execution.

- During the reflection period, the consumer will handle the product and its packaging with care. He will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to assess whether he wishes to keep it. If he chooses to exercise his right of withdrawal, he will return the product along with all supplied accessories and, if reasonably possible, in its original condition and packaging to the entrepreneur, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
- When the consumer wishes to exercise their right of withdrawal, they are obliged to notify the entrepreneur within 14 days of receiving the product.

- If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, they will be responsible for the maximum costs of returning the goods.
- If the consumer has made a payment, the entrepreneur will refund this amount as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after the withdrawal. However, this is on the condition that the product has already been received back by the online retailer or that conclusive proof of complete return can be provided. The refund will be made using the same payment method that the consumer used unless the consumer expressly consents to a different payment method.
- In the event of damage to the product due to careless handling by the consumer, the consumer is liable for any reduction in value of the product.

Article 8 - Exclusion of the right of withdrawal
- The entrepreneur can exclude the consumer's right of withdrawal for products as described in paragraphs 2 and 3. The exclusion of the right of withdrawal only applies if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this in the offer, at least in a timely manner before the conclusion of the agreement.

- Price increases within 3 months of the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if they are the result of legal regulations or provisions.

- The prices mentioned in the offer of products or services are inclusive of VAT.
- All prices are subject to printing and typesetting errors. No liability is accepted for the consequences of printing and typesetting errors. In the case of printing and typesetting errors, the entrepreneur is not obliged to deliver the product at the incorrect price.
Article 10 - Conformity and warranty
- The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services meet the agreement, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability, and the legal provisions and/or government regulations in force at the time the agreement was concluded. 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 can assert against the entrepreneur based on the agreement.
- Any defects or incorrectly delivered products must be reported in writing to the entrepreneur within 180 days of delivery. Returns of the products must be made 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 any 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 have otherwise been handled carelessly, or are in violation of the instructions from the entrepreneur and/or have been treated on the packaging;

- The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has communicated to the company.

In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement at no cost. The consumer is not entitled to any compensation.
- All delivery times are indicative. The consumer cannot derive any rights from any mentioned deadlines. Exceeding a deadline does not entitle the consumer to compensation.
- In the event of termination in accordance with paragraph 3 of this article, the entrepreneur shall refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after termination.
- If the delivery of an ordered product proves to be impossible, the entrepreneur will make an effort to provide a substitute item.
