The contract is formed by clicking on the order button which indicates your acceptance of our offer concerning the products contained in the shopping basket. Confirmation of receipt of your order is sent by e-mail immediately after the order has been placed and does not constitute acceptance of your offer.

The e-mail sent automatically after receipt of the order is not to be understood as an order confirmation in the aforementioned sense.

Please note:
In rare cases, there may be an overlap between two orders, i.e. an item is ordered by two customers at the same time.
