online shop. In doing so, after having placed the selected goods and/or services in the
virtual basket and passed through the ordering process, and by clicking the button
finalizing the order process, the Client submits a legally binding offer of contract with
regard to the goods and/or services contained in the shopping cart. The Client may also
submit his offer to the Seller by telephone, fax, e-mail or postal service.

decisive, or

ensure that all e-mails sent by the Seller or by third parties commissioned by the Seller
with the order processing can be delivered.
