2) Conclusion of Contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in the seller's online shop do not constitute binding offers on the part of the seller, but rather serve to enable the customer to submit a binding offer.

2.3 The seller may accept the customer's offer within five days,
- by providing the customer with a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or email), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive in this respect, or
- by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, in which case the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
- by requesting payment from the customer after they have placed their order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the point in time when one of the aforementioned alternatives first occurs. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the customer sends the offer and ends at the expiry of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer, with the result that the customer is no longer bound by their declaration of intent.

2.6 When ordering via the seller's online order form, the text of the contract is stored by the seller after the conclusion of the contract and transmitted to the customer in text form (e.g., email, fax, or letter) after the order has been sent. The seller shall not make the text of the contract accessible beyond this.

4.2 For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, additional costs may be incurred in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of funds by credit institutions (e.g., transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g., customs duties). Such costs may also be incurred in relation to the transfer of funds if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union, but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.

Insofar as the seller also offers payment methods via PayPal in which they make advance performance to the customer (e.g., purchase on account or installment payments), they assign their payment claim to PayPal or to the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal and specifically named to the customer. Before accepting the seller's declaration of assignment, PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal carries out a credit check using the transmitted customer data. The seller reserves the right to refuse the customer the selected payment method in the event of a negative check result. If the selected payment method is approved, the customer must pay the invoice amount within the agreed payment period or at the agreed payment intervals. In this case, they can only make payment with debt-discharging effect to PayPal or the payment service provider commissioned by PayPal. However, even in the event of an assignment of claims, the seller remains responsible for general customer inquiries, e.g., regarding the goods, delivery time, shipping, returns, complaints, declarations of revocation and submissions, or credit notes.

If the direct debit is not honored due to insufficient account funds or due to the provision of incorrect bank details, or if the customer objects to the debit despite not being entitled to do so, the customer shall bear the fees incurred by the chargeback of the respective credit institution if they are responsible for this.

For return shipping costs, the provisions set out in the seller's cancellation policy shall apply if the customer effectively exercises their right of withdrawal.
5.4 If the customer is acting as an entrepreneur, the risk of accidental loss and accidental deterioration of the sold goods shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the item to the forwarder, the carrier, or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment.
