1.2  These General Terms and Conditions apply accordingly to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise agreed.

1.3  A consumer within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor to their independent professional activity.

1.4  An entrepreneur within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his or her commercial or independent professional activity.

1.5  Depending on the seller's product description, the subject matter of the contract can be either the purchase of goods by way of a one-time delivery or the purchase of goods by way of a continuous delivery (hereinafter "subscription contract"). In a subscription contract, the seller undertakes to deliver the contractually agreed goods to the customer for the duration of the agreed contract term at the contractually agreed time intervals.

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 serve to submit a binding offer by the customer.

2.2  The customer can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the seller's online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and completing the electronic ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contractual offer for the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that completes the ordering process. Furthermore, the customer can also submit the offer to the seller via 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), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or
• by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereby the receipt of the goods by the customer is decisive, or
• by requesting payment from the customer after placing his order.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends on the expiry of the fifth day following the dispatch 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 consequence that the customer is no longer bound by their declaration of intent.

2.7  Before submitting a 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 detecting input errors can be the browser's zoom function, which enlarges the display on the screen. During the electronic ordering process, the customer can correct their entries using the usual keyboard and mouse functions until they click the button that completes the order process.

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