We will inform you about:

2) Offers and Functions of This Website

This website is an online shop for the sale of goods.

Goods in this context refer to physical items.

Here, goods are presented to you, which can be added to an electronic shopping cart and then obligatorily ordered and paid for.

This website has a header and a footer menu.

In the header menu, the goods we sell are listed by category and can be accessed individually from there.

Each item is described on its own detailed page with further information on its essential characteristics, scope of delivery, and 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 item 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 imprint with our contact information, as well as information on the legal basis of our online offering, shipping and payment options, and links to other helpful service pages.

3) Explanations on the Use of the Offer and Functions

3.1 Virtual Buttons

This website can be operated via virtual buttons.

3.2 Home, Overview, and Detail Pages

On the home page, you will find a selection of products in the central page area. By interacting with a product presentation, you will be taken to the product detail page.

In the header menu, you can navigate between the different product categories.
After selecting a category, you will be taken to an overview page where all products of that category are displayed.

By interacting with a product presentation on the overview page, you will again be taken to the product detail page.

In addition to all essential information about the product and the total price, the product detail pages may also contain a quantity selection element and an "Add to Cart" button.

If available, the desired order quantity can be set via the quantity selection.

3.3 Electronic Shopping Cart

By pressing the "Add to Cart" button, you add the product (in the selected quantity, if applicable) to the electronic shopping cart.

This electronic shopping cart can be accessed at any time via the header menu.

Here, you can first review the added products. Products can be removed or, if applicable, their order quantity changed via corresponding buttons.

3.4 Electronic Ordering Process

After reviewing, you can complete the electronic ordering process by interacting with the corresponding buttons.

To do this, you will first be asked to enter your contact details (at least name, email address, and delivery/billing address) via an input mask.

Then, in the next step, you can choose between the available delivery or service options.

Finally, you can choose one of the available payment methods, enter the necessary payment data, and complete the order.

The binding placement of the order only occurs when the designated button on the final order page is pressed. It is labeled with "Buy", "Buy Now", "Order with obligation to pay", or another clear phrasing.

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

If you have opted for payment with an online payment method, you will be redirected from the final order page to the payment provider's system to complete the payment there.

4) Legal Requirements for Accessibility

This website, as an online shop, is considered a "service in electronic commerce" and features electronic ordering and payment options.

It is subject to special legal requirements for accessibility.

In general, this website must provide functions and procedures that are tailored to the needs of people with disabilities and enable usability with digital assistive technologies.

The online shop functions of this website must therefore be:

  • Perceivable
  • Operable
  • Understandable, and
  • Robust

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

Operability requires that the functions of the online shop can also be used by users with mobility or cognitive impairments.

Understandability requires that the information and functions of the online shop are logically structured, easily recognizable, and unambiguously labeled.

Finally, robustness demands 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 for sale in the online shop are subject to their own accessibility requirements, information on accessible use must be provided for such products – to the extent available.

5) Available Aids for Accessible Use

This website meets the accessibility requirements through the following measures:

  • Alt texts for images: Images in the online shop are equipped with alternative texts that provide a brief description of the image and can be processed by screen readers.
  • Accessible Captchas: To ensure that entries are human-generated, so-called "Captchas" may be used. These Captchas can be solved not only through optical recognition by sight but also by solving simple cognitive tasks.
  • Operability via mouse and keyboard: The online shop functions can be operated both by mouse and by keyboard. The mouse pointer can be moved and activated in the online shop using the keyboard's control keys.
  • Browser-independent page output: Content and functions of this website are available in an identical arrangement, alignment, and resolution regardless of the browser used.
  • Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): A programming language is used that separates the display of page content in terms of layout, color, and design from its structural organization. This allows digital assistive technologies to use their own visibility schemes to display the page content.
  • Sufficient spacing between characters: Characters are displayed with sufficient spacing from each other to avoid impairing readability.
  • Compatibility with screen readers: The content of the online shop is compatible with all common screen readers and can be read and processed by them.
  • Responsive design (adaptation to different screen sizes): The dimensions of the content, elements, and functions automatically adapt to the size of the screen used.
  • Scalability (visibility when magnified): Page elements and content remain legibly high-resolution even when magnified.
  • Strong color contrast: A strong contrast between font colors and backgrounds is preset to ensure optimal visibility of page elements.

6) Responsible Supervisory Authority

A supervisory authority will be responsible for monitoring accessibility on this website.

This has not yet been determined.

As soon as a responsible authority is appointed, its name and address will be provided here.
