2) Services and functions of this website

This website is an online shop for the sale of goods and services. In this context, goods are considered physical objects. You are presented with products here that can be added to an electronic shopping cart and then ordered and paid for in a binding manner.
This website features a header and a footer menu. In the header menu, the products we sell are listed by category and can be accessed individually from there. Each product is described on its own detail page with further information regarding its essential characteristics, the scope of delivery or services, and the total price. From there, it can be added to the electronic shopping cart. Furthermore, the electronic shopping cart can be accessed via the header menu as soon as you have added at least one product to it. From this shopping cart, the electronic ordering process can be initiated and completed. In the footer menu, you will find links to our legal notice (Impressum) containing our contact information, as well as information on the legal basis of our online services, delivery and payment options, and links to other helpful service pages.

Finally, you can decide on one of the available payment methods, enter the necessary payment details, and complete the order.

The binding placement of the order occurs only when the button provided for this purpose on the final order page is activated. It is labeled "Buy", "Buy now", "Order with obligation to pay", or another clear formulation.

Before activating this order button, you can navigate back to the previous steps at any time using your browser's "Back" button and/or cancel the ordering process at any time.

If you have decided to pay with an online payment method, you will be redirected from the final order page to the payment provider's system in order to make the payment there.

4) Legal requirements for accessibility

As an online shop, this website counts as "electronic commerce services" and is characterized by an electronic ordering and payment option.

Special legal requirements for accessibility apply to it. In general, this website must provide functions and procedures that are geared towards the needs of people with disabilities and enable operability with digital assistive technologies.

For this, the online shop functions of this website must be designed to be
- perceivable

Perceivability means that the information and components of the online shop are presented in such a way that they can be easily perceived by all users.

Operability requires that the functions of the online shop can also be used by users with mobility or cognitive impairments. Understandability assumes that the information and functions of the online shop are logically structured, easily recognizable, and unambiguously labeled.
Finally, robustness requires that the content and functions of the online shop can be used reliably and without restrictions, even if users employ digital assistive technologies.

If products are offered for sale in the online shop that are subject to their own accessibility requirements, information on accessible use must be provided for such products, to the extent available.
