2) Services and Functions of this Website

This website is an online shop for the sale of goods, digital content and services.
Goods are physical products.
Digital content consists of data or datasets created and provided in digital form.
Products are presented here and can be added to an electronic shopping cart and then ordered and paid for in a binding manner.
This website includes a header menu and a footer menu.
The header menu lists the products sold by us according to categories and allows individual access to them.
Each product has its own detail page describing its essential features, the scope of delivery or service 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 once at least one product has been added. From this shopping cart, the electronic ordering process can be initiated and completed.
The footer menu contains links to our legal notice with our contact details, information on the legal basis of our online services, delivery and payment options, and further helpful service pages.

3) Explanation of the Use of the Services and Functions

3.1 Virtual Buttons

This website can be operated using virtual buttons.

3.2 Home, Overview and Product Detail Pages

On the homepage, you will find a selection of products in the central page area. By interacting with a product presentation, you will be taken to the product detail page.
The header menu allows you to navigate between the different product categories.
After selecting a category, you will reach an overview page displaying all products within 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 all essential information about the product and the total price as well as, where applicable, a quantity selection element and an add-to-cart button.
If available, the quantity selector can be used to specify the desired order quantity.

3.3 Electronic Shopping Cart

By activating the shopping cart button, the product (where applicable in the selected quantity) is added 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 added. Appropriate buttons allow products to be removed or, where applicable, the order quantity to be changed.

3.4 Electronic Ordering Process

After reviewing your order, you can complete the electronic ordering process by interacting with the relevant buttons.
You will first be asked to enter your contact details (at least your name, email address and delivery or billing address) using an input form.
You can then select from the available delivery or service options.
Finally, you can choose one of the available payment methods, enter the necessary payment details and complete the order.
The order only becomes binding when the designated button on the final order page is activated. It may be labelled “Buy”, “Buy Now”, “Place Order with Obligation to Pay” or another clear equivalent.
Before activating this order button, you can use your browser’s “Back” button to return to the previous steps at any time and/or cancel the ordering process at any time.
If you choose an online payment method, you will be redirected from the final order page to the payment provider’s system to complete the payment.
