  5. The customer can place an order for the goods via the seller’s website. After submitting the order, the customer receives an order confirmation in which their details and order are listed again. This order confirmation does not constitute acceptance of the contract. If the seller accepts the offer, the buyer will receive a declaration of acceptance of the contract or a shipping confirmation from the seller within 2 days. If the customer does not receive such a statement within the time limit, they are no longer bound by their order.

This applies particularly in respect of the completeness of the goods and to their being fit for purpose. Faults which are immediately or quickly detected must be immediately notified to the seller. A detailed description of the faults or defects should be provided. In the event that the customer does not notify, the goods are deemed to have been approved, unless the defect is not apparent during the inspection.
