Article 3 – Applicability
These general terms and conditions apply to every offer made by the entrepreneur and to every distance contract and order concluded between entrepreneur and consumer.
Before the distance contract is concluded, the consumer will be provided with the text of these general terms and conditions. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance contract is concluded where the general terms can be viewed and that they will be sent free of charge at the consumer's request.
If the distance contract is concluded electronically, the text of these terms and conditions may, contrary to the previous paragraph, be made available to the consumer in such a way that it can be stored on a durable data carrier.
If, in addition to these general terms, specific product or service conditions apply, the second and third paragraphs apply accordingly, and the consumer can always rely on the most favorable applicable provision in case of conflicting conditions.
If one or more provisions in these general terms and conditions are void or annulled, the rest of the agreement and these terms remain in effect, and the void provision will be replaced in mutual consultation with a provision that approaches the original intent as closely as possible.
Situations not covered by these terms must be assessed in the spirit of these terms.
