The inclusion of the customer's own conditions is hereby contradicted, unless otherwise agreed.

1.2 These terms and conditions apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise stipulated.

1.3 These terms and conditions apply accordingly to contracts for the provision of digital content, unless otherwise stipulated. Digital content in the sense of these terms and conditions is data that is created and made available in digital form.

1.4 A consumer within the meaning of these terms and conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor their independent professional activity.

1.5 An entrepreneur within the meaning of these terms and conditions is a natural or legal person or a legal partnership who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

1.6 The subject of the contract can - depending on the seller's product description - be both the purchase of goods by way of a one-off delivery and the purchase of goods by way of a permanent delivery (hereinafter referred to as “subscription contract”). With the subscription contract, the seller undertakes to deliver the contractually owed goods to the customer for the duration of the agreed contract period in the contractually owed time intervals.

1.7 Depending on the seller's description of the content, the subject of the contract can be both the one-off provision of digital content and the regular provision of digital content (hereinafter "subscription contract"). With the subscription contract, the seller undertakes to provide the customer with the contractually owed digital content for the duration of the agreed contract period at the contractually agreed time intervals.

2) Conclusion of contract

2.1 The product descriptions contained in the online shop of the seller do not constitute binding offers on the part of the seller, but serve to submit a binding offer by the customer.

2.2 The customer can submit the offer using the online order form integrated in the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and going through the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contract offer for the goods in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller by phone, email or online contact form.

2.3 The seller can accept the customer's offer within five days,

  • By sending the customer a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), in which case the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or
  • By delivering the ordered goods to the customer, in so far as the access of the goods to the customer is relevant, or
  • by after delivery of his order, he instructs the customer to pay.

Where several of the above alternatives are present, the contract shall come into force at the time when one of the above alternatives occurs first. The deadline for the acceptance of the offer begins on the day after the submission of the offer by the customer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the submission of the offer. If the seller does not accept the offer of the customer within the aforementioned deadline, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer with the result that the customer is no longer bound to his consent.

If the customer pays using a payment method offered by PayPal that can be selected in the online ordering process, the seller already declares acceptance of the customer's offer at the point in time at which the customer clicks on the button that completes the ordering process.

2.5 When submitting an offer via the seller's online order form, the text of the contract is saved by the seller after the contract is concluded and sent to the customer in text form (e.g. e-mail, fax or letter) after the customer has sent his order. Any further provision of the contract text by the seller does not take place. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller's online shop before submitting his order, the order data will be archived on the seller's website and can be accessed free of charge by the customer via his password-protected user account by providing the corresponding login data.

2.6 Before submitting the binding order via the seller's online order form, the customer can identify possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the enlargement function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. The customer can correct his entries as part of the electronic ordering process using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until he clicks the button that completes the ordering process.

2.7 Only the German language is available for the conclusion of the contract.
