2) Services and functions of this website

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

Goods are understood here to be physical items.

Goods are presented here which can be added to an electronic shopping cart and then ordered and paid for on a binding basis.

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

Furthermore, once you have added at least one item to your shopping cart, you can access the electronic shopping cart via the header menu. From this shopping cart, the electronic ordering process can be initiated and completed.

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

3) Explanations on the use of the services 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 products on offer 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 on which all products in this category are displayed.

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.

Where available, the desired order quantity can be set using the quantity selection.

3.3 Electronic shopping cart

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

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

You can first review the products added here. Using the corresponding buttons, products can be removed again or, where applicable, changed in the order quantity.

3.4 Electronic ordering process

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

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

Then, in a next step, you can choose between the available delivery and/or performance options.

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

The binding placement of the order only takes place once the button provided for this purpose on the final order page has been clicked. It is labelled "Buy", "Buy now", "Order with obligation to pay" or another clearly worded phrase.

Before clicking this order button, you can use your browser's "Back" button to navigate back to the 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 payment provider's system in order to make the payment there.

4) Legal requirements for accessibility

This website counts as an online shop among the so-called "services in electronic commerce" and is characterised by an electronic ordering and payment option.

Special legal requirements for accessibility apply to it.

In general, this website must provide functions and procedures that are geared to the needs of people with disabilities and enable operation using digital aids.

The online shop functions of this website must therefore be designed to be

  • perceivable
  • operable
  • understandable and
  • robust

.

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 limitations in mobility or cognition.

Understandability requires that the information and functions of the online shop are structured logically, easy to recognize and unambiguous.

Robustness finally requires that the content and functions of the online shop can be used reliably and without restrictions, even when users employ digital aids.

If products are sold in the online shop that are subject to their own accessibility requirements, information on accessible use must be provided for such products - insofar as available.

5) Available aids for accessible use

This website meets the requirements for accessibility through the following measures:

  • Alt texts for images: Images in the online shop are provided with alternative texts that give 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 using a setting option in order to make it as easily perceivable as possible for every user.
  • Adjustable colour contrast: The colour contrast of the page elements is adjustable. It can be increased and decreased.
  • Accessible captchas: To ensure that entries originate from human users, so-called "captchas" may be used. These captchas can be used not only by optical assignment using visual ability, but also by solving simple thinking tasks.
  • Operability by mouse and keyboard: The online shop functions can be operated using both mouse and keyboard. The mouse pointer can be moved and clicked in the online shop using the control keys on the keyboard.
  • Browser-independent page output: The content and functions of this website are available in identical arrangement, orientation and resolution regardless of the browser used.
  • Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): A programming language is used that separates the presentation of the page content in appearance, colour and design from its structural content. This makes it possible for digital aids to use their own visibility schemes to display the page content.
  • Verified correctness of HTML codes: All HTML codes are continuously checked for their functionality in order to rule out functional failures and the lack of capture by digital aids.
  • Sufficient spacing between characters: Characters are displayed with sufficient spacing between them so as not to impair legibility.
  • Compatibility with screen readers: The content of the online shop is compatible with all common screen readers and can be read and processed by them.
  • Responsive design (adaptation to different screen sizes): The content, elements and functions automatically adapt their dimensions to the size of the screen used.
  • Scalability (visibility when enlarged): Page elements and content remain legible in high resolution even when enlarged.
  • Strong colour contrast: A strong contrast between the colours of characters and backgrounds is preset in order to ensure optimum visibility of the page elements.
  • Text notices when input fields are not filled in: If mandatory input fields are not filled in, a text notice is issued in addition to colour marking. This notice clarifies which information is missing in the input field.
