2) Offerings and Functions of this Website

This website is an online shop for the sale of goods.

Goods in this context are physical items.

Products are presented here which can be added to an electronic shopping cart and then ordered and paid for in a binding manner.

This website has a header and a footer menu.

In the header menu, the goods we sell are listed by category and can be accessed individually from there.

Each product is described on its own detail page with further information about its essential characteristics, the scope of delivery, and the total price. From there it can be added to the electronic shopping cart.

In addition, the electronic shopping cart can be accessed via the header menu as soon as you have added at least one product to it. From this shopping cart, the electronic ordering process can be initiated and completed.

In the footer menu, you will find links to our legal notice with our contact information, as well as information on the legal basis of our online offering, on shipping and payment options, and links to other helpful service pages.

3) Explanations on the Use of the Offerings and Functions

3.1 Virtual Buttons

This website can be operated using virtual buttons.

3.2 Home, Overview and Detail Pages

On the homepage, you will find a selection of available products in the central area of the page. By interacting with a product presentation, you will be taken to the product detail page.

In the header menu, you can navigate between the different product categories.
After selecting a category, you will be taken to an overview page displaying all products in that category.

By interacting with a product presentation on the overview page, you will again be taken to the product detail page.

The product detail pages contain, in addition to all essential information about the product and the total price, where applicable a quantity selection element and a shopping cart button.

If available, the desired order quantity can be set via the quantity selection.

3.3 Electronic Shopping Cart

By clicking the shopping cart button, you add the product (possibly in the selected quantity) to the electronic shopping cart.

This electronic shopping cart can be accessed at any time via the header menu.

Here you can first review the products you have added. Using the corresponding buttons, products can be removed or, where applicable, the order quantity can be changed.

3.4 Electronic Ordering Process

After reviewing, you can complete the electronic ordering process by interacting with the corresponding buttons.

For this purpose, you will first be asked to enter your contact details (at least name, email address, and delivery or billing address) via an input form.

You can then select from the available delivery or service options in the next step.

Finally, you can choose one of the available payment methods, enter the necessary payment details, and complete the order.

The binding placement of the order only occurs when the designated button on the final order page is clicked. It is labeled "Buy", “Buy now”, “Order with obligation to pay” or another clear wording.

Before clicking this order button, you can use your browser’s “Back” button to return to previous steps at any time and/or cancel the ordering process at any time.

If you have chosen to pay using an online payment method, you will be redirected from the final order page to the system of the payment provider in order to complete the payment there.

4) Legal Requirements for Accessibility

This website qualifies as an online shop as part of the so-called “services in electronic commerce” and is characterized by an electronic ordering and payment option.

It is subject to special legal requirements regarding accessibility.

In general, this website must provide functions and procedures that are tailored to the needs of people with disabilities and enable usability with digital assistive technologies.

The online shop functions of this website must therefore be

  • perceivable
  • operable
  • understandable, and
  • robust

in their design.

Perceivability means that the information and components of the online shop are presented in such a way that they can be easily perceived by all users.

Operability requires that the functions of the online shop can also be used by users with limited mobility or cognitive abilities.

Understandability requires that the information and functions of the online shop are logically structured, easily recognizable, and clearly labeled.

Robustness ultimately requires that the content and functions of the online shop can be used reliably and without restrictions, even when users use digital assistive tools.

If products are offered for sale in the online shop that are subject to their own accessibility requirements, information on accessible use must be provided for such products where available.

5) Available Aids for Accessible Use

This website meets accessibility requirements through the following measures:

  • Alt texts for images: Images in the online shop are equipped with alternative texts that provide a brief description of the image and can be processed by screen readers.
  • Adjustable font size: The font size of the page content can be adjusted via settings to ensure optimal readability for every user.
  • Adjustable color contrast: The color contrast of page elements can be adjusted up or down.
  • Accessible captchas: To ensure that inputs are of human origin, so-called “captchas” may be used. These can be solved not only visually but also by completing simple cognitive tasks.
  • Operability via mouse and keyboard: The online shop functions can be operated using both a mouse and a keyboard. The keyboard controls can be used to move and activate the mouse pointer within the online shop.
  • Browser-independent page output: The content and functions of this website are available in identical layout, alignment, and resolution regardless of the browser used.
  • Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): A programming language is used that separates the presentation (layout, color, and design) from the content structure, allowing assistive technologies to apply their own display schemes.
  • Verified correctness of HTML code: All HTML code is continuously checked for functionality to prevent malfunctions and ensure compatibility with assistive technologies.
  • Sufficient spacing between characters: Characters are displayed with sufficient spacing to ensure readability.
  • Compatibility with screen readers: The content of the online shop is compatible with common screen readers and can be read and processed by them.
  • Responsive design (adaptation to different screen sizes): Content, elements, and functions automatically adapt to the size of the screen used.
  • Scalability (visibility when zoomed): Page elements and content remain high-resolution and readable even when enlarged.
  • Strong color contrast: A strong contrast between text and background colors is preset to ensure optimal visibility of page elements.
  • Text notices for incomplete input fields: If mandatory input fields are not filled in, a text notice is displayed in addition to color highlighting, indicating which information is missing.
