2.4 The e-mail that is automatically generated once the customer has placed his/her order, and that confirms the receipt of the order, does not constitute an acceptance of the contract but simply serves to fulfill legal obligations to provide information.

3. Delivery

3.2 If the customer is obligated to perform advance payment, performance times / delivery times stated in offers depend on the assumption that the customer has made the payment immediately after conclusion of the contract.

3.4 Delivery dates are not fixed dates. Unless we communicate a date as a fixed date.

If the delays render the execution of the contract unreasonable for the customer, he shall be entitled to rescind. In the event of a frustration that is not simply of a temporary nature we shall be entitled to rescind the contract.

4. Unavailability

4.1 Every offer is subject to self-supply; if the goods ordered are not available, because we are unpredictable and without default not supplied by our suppliers at the time of the conclusion of the contract, we have the right to release ourselves from the contract. In this case, we will inform the customer immediately that a delivery is not possible, and refund already received payments immediately. Towards consumers this right we only have this right, if we have concluded a cover transaction and were surprisingly not supplied from the supplier.

In case of a minor defect, however, there is no right of rescission.

This limitation shall not apply in the event of damage to life, body and health. We are not liable for any other damage caused by slightly negligent defects of the item purchased. Any liabilities due to pre contractual breach of duty (culpa in contrahendo) or according to the Product Liability Law shall remain unaffected.
