We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest. Below, you will find information about the accessibility of our online services. We explain what services and functions are available on this website, how you can use them, which accessibility options are provided, and which authority is responsible for monitoring accessibility on this website.
2) Services and Functions of This Website
This website is an online shop for the sale of goods and services. Goods are understood to mean physical products. Products are presented on this website and can be added to an electronic shopping cart and subsequently ordered and paid for in a binding manner.
This website includes a header menu and a footer menu.
The header menu lists the product categories of the items we sell and allows you to access them individually. Each product has its own detail page containing further information about its essential characteristics, the scope of delivery or service, and the total price. Products can be added to the electronic shopping cart from these pages.
The electronic shopping cart can also be accessed through the header menu once at least one product has been added. From the shopping cart, the electronic ordering process can be initiated and completed.
The footer menu contains links to our legal notice, including our contact information, as well as information about the legal framework of our online offering, delivery and payment options, and other useful service pages.
3) Instructions for Using the Services and Functions
3.1 Virtual Buttons
This website can be operated using virtual buttons.
3.2 Homepage, Overview Pages, and Product Detail Pages
On the homepage, you will find a selection of products in the main content area. By interacting with a product presentation, you will be taken to the corresponding product detail page.
You can navigate between the various product categories using the header menu. After selecting a category, you will be taken to an overview page displaying all products within that category. By interacting with a product presentation on the overview page, you will again be directed to the product detail page.
Product detail pages contain all essential product information and the total price. They may also include a quantity selection tool and an “Add to Cart” button. Where available, the quantity selector allows you to specify the desired order quantity.
3.3 Electronic Shopping Cart
By clicking the “Add to Cart” button, the product (and, if applicable, the selected quantity) is added to the electronic shopping cart.
The shopping cart can be accessed at any time via the header menu. There, you can review the products you have added. Corresponding buttons allow you to remove products or, where applicable, change the order quantity.
3.4 Electronic Ordering Process
After reviewing your shopping cart, you can proceed through the electronic ordering process using the relevant buttons.
First, you will be asked to enter your contact details via an input form (at least your name, email address, and delivery and/or billing address).
In the next step, you can select from the available delivery or service options.
Finally, you can choose one of the available payment methods, enter the required payment information, and complete your order.
Your order is only submitted in a legally binding manner when you click the designated button on the final order page. This button may be labeled “Buy,” “Buy Now,” “Place Order with Obligation to Pay,” or another similarly clear wording.
Before clicking this order button, you can return to previous steps at any time using your browser’s “Back” button and/or cancel the ordering process altogether.
If you choose an online payment method, you will be redirected from the final order page to the payment provider’s system to complete the payment.
