3.2 The Customer can submit the offer using the online order form integrated into the Entrepreneur’s online shop. After the selected software has been placed in the virtual shopping cart and the electronic ordering process has been completed, the Customer submits a legally binding contract offer with regard to the software contained in the shopping cart by clicking the button that concludes the ordering process.

3.3 The entrepreneur may accept the customer’s offer within five days by:

  • sending the customer a written order confirmation or a confirmation in text form (fax or email), whereby the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or
  • providing the ordered software to the customer, or
  • requesting payment from the customer after the customer has placed their order.

If several of the aforementioned alternatives are present, the contract comes into effect at the point in time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The deadline for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends with the expiry of the fifth day following the sending of the offer. If the entrepreneur does not accept the offer from the customer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer, and the customer shall no longer be bound to their offer.

3.4 The period for accepting the offer shall be extended accordingly in the event of a request from the customer to make changes or additions to the software or in the event of a delay in the provision of information or data required from the customer.

3.5 The contract text shall be stored by the entrepreneur after the contract has been concluded and shall not be made accessible to the customer.

These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs can also be incurred in relation to the transfer of money if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union but the customer makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.

8.2 The customer must follow the instructions given by the entrepreneur for the installation and operation of the software.

8.3 The entrepreneur recommends that the customer take appropriate measures in case the software does not work properly in whole or in part (e.g., by performing daily data backup, troubleshooting, regular verification of data processing results) and to carry out suitable data backup before installing the software.
