General Terms and Conditions
1. Formation of contract
By placing an order, you make a binding offer to us to enter into a contract with you. We can accept this offer by e-mailing you an order confirmation or by delivering the purchased goods. First we will send an e-mail to your specified e-mail address confirming that we have received your order (order confirmation). However, a purchase contract is only formed when we send you an e-mail to confirm that we have accepted your order, or when we send you the purchased goods.
When ordering from our online shop, the order process comprises different steps. The first step is to select the desired goods. Second, you enter your customer information, including billing address and delivery address (if different). Third, you choose how you want to pay. Finally, you have the opportunity to verify all information (e.g. name, address, payment method, goods ordered) and make corrections if necessary before confirming your order and sending it to us.
