(2) In its online shop, the SELLER offers products for sale by shipment to a delivery address specified by the customer or in form of digital products available via data download such as software, e-books, video files, audio files and comparable electronic training material (hereinafter Online Products); moreover, the customer may obtain services (e.g. use of available server capacities) for a fee, too. The SELLER provides its services based on these Sale GTC on an exclusive basis, which can be viewed on this website at any time and are sent to the customer via email upon the conclusion of a contract. The SELLER sells its products to entrepreneurs who own a trade licence only, but not to consumers. (3) If you should have complaints, you can contact us using the details set forth in paragraph 1 above. 2 – Conclusion of Contract (1) The presentation of the products and services, particularly on the internet, does not constitute a binding offer of the SELLER yet. (2) The customer may browse the offer as he pleases and add products or services to the shopping cart by clicking the shopping cart symbol. The customer may clear the cart again at any time by changing the number or stopping the order process by closing the browser window. The changes can be made by using either the mouse or the keyboard. By clicking the “PROCEED TO CHECKOUT” button, the customer is redirected to a page where he can register as customer if does not have any access data yet or log in as existing customer. To do so, the user name plus password as well as the contact details are entered. After the registration and – if required – the confirmation of the delivery address, the customer may choose the method of shipment and will then receive information on the method of payment. By clicking the “NEXT” button, the customer is redirected to a page where he receives an overview of the purchase order after having confirmed the Sale GTC as well as the information on the revocation right. In case that at this point the customer wants to make additional changes to his purchase order, he may cancel using the link “Cancel checkout and back to the shopping cart”. If there are no additional changes to be made to the purchase order, the order process is concluded by clicking the “ORDER WITH OBLIGATION TO PAY” button, thus submitting a binding purchase order. The customer will be shown the receipt of the purchase order immediately after the order process has been concluded. The SELLER stores the customer order and the entered order data as defined in the Data Privacy Statement (cf. section 3). Moreover, the customer will also receive his order data via email message.
