2. Conclusion of the contract
Subject of the contract is the sale of goods.
As soon as the respective product is posted on our website, we are submitting a binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions specified in the item description.

In the shopping cart, the customer can select the delivery quantity of the desired goods, as well as add or remove goods.
