3. Placing an Order and Conclusion of Contract
3.1 The information on this Platform is not intended as advice on, or as a recommendation for, the purchase of our products. Except as expressly stated in our General Terms of Sale, all contents and products provided on the Platform are provided on “as is” basis and to the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude any terms, conditions, warranties or licences, whether express or implied. You are solely responsible for the appropriateness of the products offered on the Platform for your intended application(s) and use. We do not warrant, either expressly or impliedly, that our products offered are fit for a particular purpose or that they meet your requirements. You are advised to conduct your independent research into individual products before proceeding to make an Offer.
3.2 The presentation of our products and services on the Platform is not an offer in the legal sense. An offer is made where you complete the order process on the Platform to buy the products specified in the order, subject to the General Terms of Sale (“Offer”). You have the option to verify your order and correct any errors before submitting the Offer. You are responsible for ensuring that your order is complete and accurate. Your Offer shall become legally binding when you click on the “Order” button on the Platform. With the submission of the order, you can no longer modify it.
3.3 Upon receipt of an order, we will send you an automatic e-mail confirmation to acknowledge the Offer. Such confirmation does not constitute any acceptance of the Offer. Our acceptance of any order will take place as described below in Section 3.4. You acknowledge that the data provided by you (name of company, company address, company register number or date of birth etc.) may be – where justified by objective reasons- transferred to our third party service provider(s) in order to conduct a credit/solvency check.
3.4 We will confirm our acceptance of your order in writing, usually by sending a separate order confirmation by email to you (“Acceptance”), which shall also include the final price subject to Sections 4.2 and 4.4. The Acceptance will usually be issued within one (1) business day after receipt of the order. You shall be bound by your order for a maximum of one (1) week. We may accept orders only in part if you have explicitly indicated that you are happy to accept a partial order when submitting your Offer. We are also entitled to refuse orders in part or in their entirety without stating a reason, but in particular in the event that the ordered product is unavailable. For the sake of clarity, if you do not receive an order confirmation from us but accept delivery of the goods, this will be deemed as conclusive evidence of your acceptance of the goods, the General Terms of Sale and E-Commerce Provisions and constitute a legally enforceable contract.
4. Prices and Payment Terms
4.1 The prices for the ordered products are generally not displayed on the Platform for customers that are not logged-in. Where prices are displayed on the Platform (whether the customers are logged into the Platform or not) or in the automatic e-mail confirmation, the relevant prices are only indications based on our experience of previous orders for the same products with, including without limitation, similar type, size, dimensions etc. Prices displayed on the Platform or in the automatic e-mail confirmation are merely indicative and not confirmed by both parties; they are subject to adjustment based on our review of the ordered products and costs incurred with producing the ordered products from available material or their delivery.
4.2 In the light of the above, you agree that the confirmed price of each ordered product may deviate up to +/- 15% from the indicative price displayed on the Platform or in the automatic e-mail confirmation. If our assessment of the order leads to a price increase of more than 15% in comparison to the indicative price displayed on the Platform or in the automatic e-mail confirmation, we will contact you via email and ask for your explicit approval of the confirmed price. In case we do not receive any written approval from you within three (3) business days after our request, your order is deemed withdrawn.

4.6 The Final Amount can be paid via advance payment or invoice (provided that the Final Amount is covered by your order limits as resulting from the credit/solvency check according to Section 3.3). In case of advance payment, the Final Amount shall be paid within five (5) business days upon Acceptance and must be received by us prior to the shipping of the products. Any delivery times as agreed in the General Terms of Sale shall only start upon receipt of full payment of the Final Amount.
