1. Offer and Purchase Agreement
Offered items are – also with regard to prices - without obligation.
A purchase agreement comes to pass only when the seller acknowledges the order, at latest when ordered goods are delivered. The buyer is bound to his order for four weeks. With his order he verifies full contractual capability just as well to be of age. Orders need to be confirmed by the seller before getting valid. If the confirmation of an order differs from the order, the buyer has to revoke by letter immediately, at latest within a week after conveyance of the order-confirmation. Otherwise a purchase agreement comes to pass under terms and conditions mentioned at the order-confirmation. Any additional agreements, changes or additions are valid only when confirmed in writing by the seller.
