By clicking the button “Place paying order”, he issues a binding application to purchase the merchandise present in the shopping cart. Before sending off the order, the purchaser can change and inspect the data any time. However, the application can only be dispatched and transmitted if the purchaser accepts these contract terms by clicking on the “Accept GTC” button, thereby incorporating them into his application.
2. Then the provider sends an automatic acknowledgement of receipt to the purchaser per email, in which the purchaser’s order is recapitulated and which the purchaser can print out by means of the “Print” function. The automatic acknowledgement of receipt only documents that the purchaser’s order has been received by the provider, it does not constitute acceptance of the application. The contract is only concluded by the issue of the declaration of acceptance by the provider, which is sent in a separate email (order confirmation). In that email or in a separate email, at the latest, however, at the delivery of the merchandise, the contract text (consisting of the order, the GTC and the order confirma-tion) is sent to the purchaser by the provider in a durable medium (email or paper printout) (confirmation of contract). The contract text is stored while ensuring data protection.
3. The contract is concluded in English language.

2. If no units of the product ordered by the purchaser are available at the moment of ordering, the provider shall inform the purchaser thereof in the order confirmation.

Essential contractual duties are duties the fulfilment of which is necessary to achieve the contract purpose.
2. In case of a breach of essential contractual duties, the provider is only liable for the contract-typical, foreseeable damage if it has been caused by simple negligence, unless the purchaser asserts claims for the injury of life, body or health.
3. The limitations in Sec. 1 and 2 also apply for the benefit of the legal representatives or agents of the provider if any claims are asserted directly against them.
4. The limitations of liability resulting from Sec. 1 and 2 do not apply as far as the provider has maliciously hidden the defect or assumed a guarantee for the quality of the product. The same applies as far as the provider and the purchaser have concluded an agreement on the quality of the product. The provisions of the law of 25 February 191 relating to liability for defective products remain unaffected.
