Article 3: Applicability

  1. These general terms and conditions apply to every offer made by a trader and to every distance contract that has been realized between an trader and a consumer.

  3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, then, contrary to the previous paragraph, and before the distance contract is concluded, the consumer will be provided with the text of these general terms and conditions electronically, in such a way that the consumer can easily store them on a durable data carrier.

In cases where specific product or service-related terms and conditions apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs apply by analogy and the consumer can always invoke the applicable condition that is most favorable to him in the event of incompatible general terms and conditions.

    5. the method of payment, delivery or implementation of the contract;
    6. the period for accepting the offer, or the period for adhering to the price;

    10. the behavioral codes to which the trader is subject and the way in which the consumer can consult these behavioral codes electronically;

  4.
