ARTICLE 3 – APPLICABILITY
1. These general terms and conditions apply to every offer on the part of the entrepreneur and to every distance selling agreement between the entrepreneur and the consumer that comes about.
2. The text of these general terms and conditions is to be made available to the consumer prior to concluding the distance selling agreement.

3. In the event that the distance selling agreement is concluded electronically, then the text of these general terms and conditions, contrary to that stated in the previous section and prior to concluding the distance selling agreement, can be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that these can be easily stored by the consumer on a permanent data carrier. Should this not be reasonably possible, then it will be indicated prior to concluding the distance selling agreement where the general terms and conditions can be examined by electronic means and that these will be sent to the consumer by electronic means or in some other way free of charge upon request.
4. In the event that specific product- or service conditions apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, then the second and third section will apply by analogy and the consumer can always rely on the most advantageous provision in the event of contradictory general terms and conditions.
ARTICLE 4 – THE OFFER
1. If an offer has a limited term of validity or is subject to certain conditions, then this will be explicitly indicated in the offer.
2. The offer includes a full and accurate description of the products and/or services offered. The description is detailed enough to allow for an adequate assessment of the offer on the part of the consumer. If we make use of illustrations, then these are a truthful representation of the products and/or services offered. We are not bound by obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer.
3. Each offer contains information such that the consumer is clearly aware of the rights and obligations that will apply upon accepting the offer. This particularly concerns:

4. We can enquire after the ability of the consumer to meet the payment obligations – such within the sphere of the law – as well as after all of the facts and factors that are relevant if one is to responsibly enter into a distance selling agreement. If the entrepreneur has sound reasons on the basis of this investigation not to enter into the agreement, then the entrepreneur, supported by reasons, has the right to refuse an order or a request or to attach specific conditions to the execution.
