We reserve the right to change or amend the General Terms and Conditions.
We conclude contracts with customers who are

Customers can be consumers („Verbraucher“ in the sense of § 13 German Civil Code “BGB”) or entrepreneurs (“Unternehmer” in the sense of § 14 German Civil Code “BGB”).
A contract between you and us is concluded when we accept the order („Offer”) transmitted by you by delivering the ordered items („acceptance“ „Annahme”). In all other respects § 434 para. 1 sentence 3 of the German Civil Code („BGB“) applies. If it comes to the resignation/revocation, then we are obligated to credit immediately any performed deposits and/or pre-payments, or to pay back on request by cheque or transfer.

1. Step: In the step “Your address” you enter your customer data including billing address and, if desired, a different delivery address. Our online store offers you the option of registering a customer account. This allows you to order easily and conveniently in the online store with your e-mail address and your personal password. When ordering with customer data that can be assigned to an existing customer account, we ask you to carry out the desired order with your existing customer account. If you have forgotten your password, we offer you the possibility to have a password sent to you via a double opt-in procedure. You can change this password in your settings at any time. If you have already created a customer account in our online store, you can log in with your e-mail address and your personal password. Of course, we also offer you the possibility to order from us without creating a customer account.
