We hereby object to the inclusion of your own terms, unless we have agreed otherwise with you.
1.2 These GTC shall apply mutatis mutandis to contracts for the delivery of vouchers, unless otherwise stipulated.
1.3 You are a consumer within the meaning of these GTC if you conclude a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither attributable to your commercial nor your independent professional activity.
1.4 You are an entrepreneur within the meaning of these GTC if you are a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of your commercial or independent professional activity.
1.5 The subject matter of the contract can – depending on our product description – be either the purchase of goods by means of a one-time delivery or the purchase of goods by means of a permanent delivery (hereinafter "subscription contract"). In the case of a subscription contract, we undertake to deliver the contractually owed goods to you for the duration of the agreed contract term at the contractually owed time intervals.
2) Conclusion of Contract
2.1 The product descriptions contained in our online shop do not represent binding offers on our part, but serve to enable you to submit a binding offer.
2.2 You can submit the offer via the online order form integrated into our online shop. After placing the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and completing the electronic ordering process, you submit a legally binding contractual offer regarding the goods contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process.

- sending you a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or email), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by you is decisive, or
- delivering the ordered goods to you, whereby the receipt of the goods by you is decisive, or
- requesting payment from you after you have placed your order.
If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives first occurs. The period for acceptance of your offer begins on the day after you send the offer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If we do not accept your offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer with the consequence that you are no longer bound by your declaration of intent.
