2 Conclusion of contract

You can select products from our range and collect them in a so-called shopping cart by clicking the button "Add to cart". By clicking the button "order with obligation to pay" you make a binding offer to purchase the goods in the shopping cart.

By sending your order via the online store by clicking the button "order subject to payment", you place a legally binding order.
