  • Adding a product to a basket: The buyer may add an item to a basket either from the home page, category page or product page. Some products have characteristics that enable buyers to customize (configure) various features according to their wishes prior to order placement. Such products may exclusively be added from the product page where the customer shall select options in all configuration fields.
  • Shopping cart summary (optional):

When buyers add a product to a shopping cart, they may use this site to review the selected items in the basket, to calculate delivery costs or to claim a potential rebate. In addition to that, the buyer may regulate the number of items in the shopping cart by adding or removing products, editing the desired quantities of items, etc. Buyers may access their shopping basket from various websites by clicking the icon »Basket« in the upper right corner of the page. It is not mandatory to check the contents of the shopping basket prior to the purchase completion, therefore the customer may skip this step. Buyers may at all times directly access the checkout from any page on the website after the products are placed in the basket.

  • Checkout (delivery and payment method, shopping cart summary): The buyer specifies the delivery and invoice address, selects a suitable delivery method (where the buyer gets acquainted with possible delivery area and delivery time, insurance and shipment tracking), claims potential rebates by entering a promotional discount code (by redeeming discount vouchers) and selects a payment method. Users may access this site from any other page of an online store by sliding the cursor up to the shopping basket in the upper right corner. The button »Checkout« shall be displayed by clicking on the shopping cart. In this stage of the shopping process, buyers may summarize the contents in their shopping cart, i.e. edit the quantities of items, adjust final prices, or modify delivery and payment methods by subsequently altering previously entered data. Prior to order placement, the buyer shall expressly consent to the processing of personal data pursuant to the General Terms and Conditions by validating the checkbox.
  • Payment (payment processing)/purchase confirmation: After checking all the required boxes and clicking on the »Confirm purchase« button, the buyer shall be redirected to a payment processing platform containing a series of various online payment systems or to a credit card processing page. Customers of our online shop are attentively guided through the payment process in accordance with the selected payment method.

In case of a prepayment via bank transfer, the buyer shall be provided with an invoice in a PDF format containing all the data required for remittance. A purchase is deemed completed when the buyer transfers the amount invoiced to the provider and the provider proceeds with an order. After submitting an order on the website, the buyer shall receive an email confirmation with significant data regarding the contents of an order, payment method and delivery (estimated shipping date). A purchase contract between the provider and the buyer is made directly upon the order confirmation (the buyer receives an automatic acknowledgment via email).

6.8.   Please read the accompanying instructions thoroughly and test each product securely before using it. Supposing that you are not certain how to test the product or you are hesitant about its safety, the product may cause pecuniary damage or may be detrimental to people's health, please do not use the product, notify the seller about the matter and return the item immediately. Use the receivables at your own discretion and risk.

6.9.   We strive to deliver meticulous and accurate product descriptions enriched with correspondingly inviting photographic materials for each individual sales item in our online store.

Environmental protection

Substances, for instance, chemical pollutants in old appliances may have harmful consequences for the environment and human health if they are not stored properly, particularly when they are disposed of in a not break-proof and improper manner by persons not authorized for this task. Especially in the case of illegal exports, it cannot be ensured that the environment and human health are protected against damage. Old appliances may also contain recyclable raw materials, old appliances may be repaired or some parts may be recycled which allows us to significantly reduce the impact on the environment. For this reason, old appliances must not be disposed of by way of your normal household waste or exported illegally. You – as the end-user – are obliged by law to return or to properly dispose of electrical appliances. Please observe the following: You are yourself responsible for deleting any personal data to be found on the old appliances, which are to be disposed of. 

Batteries

Substances, for instance, chemical constituents in old batteries may have harmful consequences for the environment and human health if they are not stored and disposed of properly. Moreover, they may also contain recyclable raw materials. Batteries must not be disposed of by way of your normal household waste. You, as the end-user are obliged by law to return used batteries. Used batteries may be returned free of charge or sent back free of charge to the vendor or to the collection points intended for this purpose (e.g. public collection points in your community or in retail markets). The batteries can also be returned free of charge by post to the vendor; here, you possibly must comply with the specifications of the hazardous goods law. The return of batteries by the end-user to local retailers is restricted to a reasonable amount of batteries and is restricted to such used batteries that the local retailer offers or used to offer in his product range.

 

The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol shall remind you of the fact that batteries must not be disposed of with domestic garbage. You may also find the following icons below this symbol, which have the following meaning concerning the constituents:

Pb: the battery contains more than 0.004 percent of lead by weight

Cd: the battery contains more than 0.002 percent of cadmium by weight

Hg: the battery contains more than 0.0005 percent of mercury by weight

Old appliances

Electrical and electronic equipment are marked with the following symbol showing a "crossed-out wheeled bin":

The symbol means that you as the owner of this appliance must not dispose of this appliance with domestic garbage (grey wheel bin, yellow wheel bin for recyclable packaging material, organic waste bin, paper bin or glass bin). This appliance must be disposed of separately from unsorted domestic waste e.g. at the municipal collecting points. Used batteries and used accumulators that are not covered by the old appliance must be removed before returning the appliance at the collection point.

The acceptance of old appliances may be refused if they present a health and safety risk to persons caused by contamination.

 

9.   PURCHASE FOR LEGAL ENTITIES

9.1.   The same online purchasing process applies for both legal entities (companies, independent contractors and other legal entities) and natural entities. However, legal entities shall select an option »I'm making a purchase as a legal entity« and agree with the applicable terms and conditions.

9.2.   Should a legal entity require an invoice to a company, they shall comply with the corresponding terms and conditions. The main difference is in the rights of withdrawal from the contract. The aforementioned legal entities shall not bear the right to revocation/withdrawal from the contract without specifying a reason, as is the case for consumers (natural entities). Legal entities shall not be entitled to reimbursement of the full purchase price. The provider enables companies, independent contractors and other legal entities to return purchased items pursuant to statutory warranty terms.
