By submitting the order the customer also accepts that the legal relationship with the supplier is solely governed by these terms and conditions.

This confirmation is not a binding declaration of acceptance of the contractual offer; its purpose is only to inform the customer that the order has been received by the supplier. Acceptance of the contractual offer is declared through the delivery of goods or in the form of an explicit declaration of acceptance.

Reservation of Title

The delivered goods remain the property of the supplier until the supplier has received full payment.
