2. Any business terms and conditions of the Customer that deviate from the present document shall not apply.
3. Both consumers and businesses are deemed to be Customers under §1 (1). A consumer is any natural person for whom the purpose of the order is not attributable to a commercial trading, self-employment, or freelance activity.

§ 2 Contract partner, conclusion of contract

1. The sales contract is reached with INDU-ELECTRIC Gerber GmbH.
2. The presentation of the products in the internet shop does not constitute a binding offer on the part of the Supplier resulting in the establishment of a sales contract. The Customer is thereby merely requested to make an offer by placing an order. The registered Customer may view previous orders in his/her user account.
3. When one or more products are selected, they are placed in the virtual shopping basket. All of the selected products may be viewed in the shopping basket. The number of products being ordered may also be changed there; and a product that has been included in the order may be removed.

Before the order is concluded, you will see a summary of all the information that is relevant to the order. When you press the “Buy Now” button, the ordering process will be ended and the order will be sent.
4. By submitting an order in the internet shop the Customer is making a binding offer with the aim of concluding a sales contract for the merchandise in the shopping basket. By submitting an order the Customer also affirms that solely these General Terms and Conditions govern the legal relationship with the Supplier.
5. The Supplier shall confirm receipt of the Customer's order by sending a confirmation email. However, this order confirmation does not yet constitute acceptance of the contract offer by the Supplier. It merely serves to notify the Customer that the order has been received by the Supplier. Notification that the contract offer has been accepted shall be provided within two days by by giving express notice of acceptance or shipping the merchandise.
6. In contrast to §2 (4), when the purchase is made by prepayment, the order confirmation simultaneously constitutes the acceptance of the contract offer.
