§2 Conclusion of Contract

(1) The customer can select from the range of the provider various products, esp. Books, electronic media or digital contents and may collect these over the button “into the shopping cart” in a so-called shopping cart. By clicking the button “order now” he submits a binding offer to buy the goods in the shopping cart. Before submitting the order, the customer may change the data at any time and review it.

The automatic confirmation of receipt by e-mail merely documents that the customer’s order has been received by the supplier and shall not constitute an acceptance of the order. The contract is concluded by the subsequent submission of acceptance by the provider, which is sent with a separate e-mail (order confirmation). In this e-mail or in a separate e-mail (contract confirmation), but at the latest on delivery of the goods, the contract text (consisting of order, terms and order confirmation) will be submitted to the customer by the provider on permanent data media (e-mail or paper printout). The contract will be saved in compliance with privacy protection.
