If the distance contract is concluded electronically, contrary to the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions can be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that it can be stored by the consumer in a simple way on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, before the distance contract is concluded, it will be indicated where the general terms and conditions can be read electronically and that they will be sent free of charge at the request of the consumer by electronic means or otherwise.

In the event that specific product or service conditions apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs apply mutatis mutandis and the consumer can always invoke the applicable provision that is most favorable to him in the event of conflicting conditions.

Article 4: The offer
If an offer has a limited period of validity or is subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer.

The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products, digital content and/or services offered. The description shall be sufficiently detailed to allow a proper assessment of the offer by the consumer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a true representation of the products, services and / or digital content offered. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.

Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what the rights and obligations are that are attached to the acceptance of the offer.

Article 5: The agreement

The agreement is concluded, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, at the time of acceptance by the consumer of the offer and the fulfilment of the conditions set therein.
If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the entrepreneur immediately confirms receipt of the acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as the receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer can dissolve the agreement.
If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will observe appropriate security measures.
The entrepreneur can inform himself within legal frameworks whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as of all those facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the distance contract. If, on the basis of this investigation, the entrepreneur has good reasons not to enter into the agreement, he is entitled to refuse an order or request motivated or to attach special conditions to the execution.

At the latest upon delivery of the product, service or digital content to the consumer, the entrepreneur will send the following information, in writing or in such a way that it can be stored by the consumer in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier: the visiting address of the establishment of the entrepreneur where the consumer can go with complaints; the conditions under which and the way in which the consumer can make use of the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement regarding the exclusion of the right of withdrawal; the information about guarantees and existing after-sales service;
the price including all taxes of the product, service or digital content; where applicable, the costs of delivery; and the method of payment, delivery or performance of the distance contract; the requirements for termination of the agreement if the agreement has a duration of more than one year or is of indefinite duration;
if the consumer has a right of withdrawal, the model withdrawal form.

In the case of a long-term transaction, the provision in the previous paragraph only applies to the first delivery.

Article 6: Right of withdrawal

For products:
The consumer can dissolve an agreement with regard to the purchase of a product during a cooling-off period of at least 14 days without giving reasons. The entrepreneur may ask the consumer about the reason for withdrawal, but not oblige him to state his reason(s).

The cooling-off period referred to in paragraph 1 starts on the day after the consumer, or a third party designated in advance by the consumer, who is not the carrier, has received the product, or: if the consumer has ordered several products in the same order: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, has received the last product. The entrepreneur may, provided that he has clearly informed the consumer about this prior to the ordering process, refuse an order of several products with a different delivery time.
if the delivery of a product consists of several shipments or parts: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, received the last shipment or the last part;
in the case of agreements for regular delivery of products during a certain period: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, has received the first product.

For services and digital content that has not been delivered on a tangible medium: The consumer can terminate a service agreement and an agreement for the supply of digital content that has not been delivered on a tangible medium for at least 14 days without giving reasons. The entrepreneur may ask the consumer about the reason for withdrawal, but not oblige him to state his reason (s).
The cooling-off period referred to in paragraph 3 starts on the day following the conclusion of the agreement.

Extended cooling-off period for products, services and digital content that has not been delivered on a tangible medium in the event of non-information about the right of withdrawal:

If the entrepreneur has not provided the consumer with the legally required information about the right of withdrawal or the model form for withdrawal, the cooling-off period expires twelve months after the end of the original reflection period determined in accordance with the previous paragraphs of this article.

If the entrepreneur has provided the information referred to in the previous paragraph to the consumer within twelve months after the effective date of the original reflection period, the reflection period expires 14 days after the day on which the consumer has received that information.

Article 7: Obligations of the consumer during the cooling-off period

During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and the packaging with care. He will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and functioning of the product. The starting point here is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as he would be allowed to do in a store.

The consumer is only liable for depreciation of the product that is the result of a way of handling the product that goes beyond what is permitted in paragraph 1.

The consumer is not liable for depreciation of the product if the entrepreneur has not provided him with all legally required information about the right of withdrawal before or at the conclusion of the agreement.

Article 8: Exercise of the right of withdrawal by the consumer and costs

If the consumer makes use of his right of withdrawal, he reports this to the entrepreneur within the cooling-off period by means of the model form for withdrawal or in another unambiguous manner.

As soon as possible, but within 14 days from the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the consumer returns the product, or hands it over to (an authorized representative of) the entrepreneur. This is not necessary if the entrepreneur has offered to pick up the product himself. The consumer has in any case observed the return period if he returns the product before the cooling-off period has expired.
The consumer returns the product with all accessories supplied, if reasonably possible in original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.

The risk and the burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lies with the consumer.

The consumer bears the direct costs of returning the product. If the entrepreneur has not reported that the consumer must bear these costs or if the entrepreneur indicates that he bears the costs himself, the consumer does not have to bear the costs for return.

If the consumer revokes after first having explicitly requested that the provision of the service or the supply of gas, water or electricity that are not made ready for sale in a limited volume or certain quantity starts during the cooling-off period, the consumer owes the entrepreneur an amount that is proportional to that part of the obligation that has been fulfilled by the entrepreneur at the time of withdrawal,  compared to the full fulfilment of the undertaking.
The consumer shall not bear any costs for the performance of services or the supply of water, gas or electricity, which are not made ready for sale in a limited volume or quantity, or for the supply of district heating, if:
the entrepreneur has not provided the consumer with the legally required information about the right of withdrawal, the reimbursement of costs in the event of withdrawal or the model withdrawal form, or; the consumer has not expressly requested the commencement of the performance of the service or supply of gas, water, electricity or district heating during the cooling-off period.

The consumer shall not bear any costs for the full or partial delivery of digital content not delivered on a tangible medium, if: prior to its delivery, he has not expressly agreed to commence performance of the contract before the end of the cooling-off period; he has not acknowledged to lose his right of withdrawal when granting his consent; or
the entrepreneur has failed to confirm this statement of the consumer.

If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, all additional agreements will be dissolved by operation of law.

Article 9: Obligations of the entrepreneur in the event of withdrawal

If the entrepreneur makes the notification of withdrawal by the consumer possible electronically, he will immediately send an acknowledgement of receipt after receipt of this notification.

The entrepreneur reimburses all payments of the consumer, including any delivery costs charged by the entrepreneur for the returned product, immediately but within 14 days following the day on which the consumer notifies him of the withdrawal. Unless the entrepreneur offers to collect the product himself, he may wait to refund until he has received the product or until the consumer proves that he has returned the product, whichever is earlier.
The entrepreneur uses the same means of payment that the consumer has used for reimbursement, unless the consumer agrees to another method. The refund is free of charge for the consumer.

If the consumer has opted for a more expensive method of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery, the entrepreneur does not have to refund the additional costs for the more expensive method.

Article 10: Exclusion of the right of withdrawal

The entrepreneur can exclude the following products and services from the right of withdrawal, but only if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this in the offer, at least in time for the conclusion of the agreement: Products or services whose price is subject to fluctuations in the financial market on which the entrepreneur has no influence and which may occur within the withdrawal period;

Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if they are the result of statutory regulations or provisions.

Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if the entrepreneur has stipulated this and: these are the result of statutory regulations or provisions; whether the consumer has the authority to terminate the agreement with effect from the day on which the price increase takes effect.

An additional guarantee provided by the entrepreneur, his supplier, manufacturer or importer never limits the legal rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur on the basis of the agreement if the entrepreneur has failed to comply with his part of the agreement.

An additional guarantee is understood to mean any commitment of the entrepreneur, his supplier, importer or producer in which he grants the consumer certain rights or claims that go beyond what he is legally obliged to do in the event that he has failed to comply with his part of the agreement.
