6. Conclusion of Contract and Purchase of Products
6.1
The presentation of products on our website is an invitation to submit an order, not a legally binding offer. When you click the "Buy" button, you submit a binding order for the items in your shopping cart. By placing an order, you confirm that you are purchasing the items for personal use and not for resale. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order if it appears to be placed by automated systems, including but not limited to software bots, web crawlers, or other automated programs designed to place orders on your behalf.
6.2
After you submit your order, you will receive an automatic confirmation email acknowledging receipt of your order. This confirmation does not constitute acceptance of the contract. We will review your order and may accept it by sending a formal order confirmation email or by delivering the goods. Acceptance is completed when you receive a formal order confirmation or when the goods are delivered. If there is any delay in processing or confirming your order, we will notify you as soon as possible.
6.3
Our products or services are available exclusively through our website/application and may be offered in limited quantities. Returns or exchanges are only allowed in accordance with our return policy.

We strive to accurately display the colors and images of our products. However, we cannot guarantee that the colors displayed on your screen are accurate.
6.5
We reserve the right to limit sales based on geographic regions, jurisdictions, or other factors. For example, we might limit sales to specific countries or regions such as France, Germany, or Italy, based on shipping capabilities or other considerations. We may also impose restrictions on the quantity of products sold to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction, and we may change or discontinue any product or service at our discretion.

If not all ordered products are in stock, we or our partner are entitled to partial deliveries as long as it is reasonable for you.
8.3
We are not obligated to deliver the ordered goods if we have properly ordered the goods on our part but cannot process them correctly or timely due to issues with third parties (referred to as "congruent coverage business"). This term refers to situations where our ability to deliver is contingent upon the timely and accurate fulfillment of our suppliers or partners. It is also a prerequisite that we are not responsible for the lack of product availability and have promptly informed you of this circumstance. Additionally, we must not have assumed the risk of procuring the ordered goods. In cases of non-availability of the goods, we will promptly refund any payments already made.
8.4
We do not assume the risk of procuring ordered goods ("procurement risk"). Procurement risk refers to the potential issues that may arise if the goods are not available from our suppliers or partners, including those described only by their type and characteristics (generic goods). This means that we are not liable for failures in sourcing products that are beyond our control.
9. Right of Withdrawal (For Consumers in the EU)
9.1
Consumers in the European Union have the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days without providing any reason. The withdrawal period is 14 days from the day you or a third party designated by you, other than the carrier, takes physical possession of the last item in your order. For the purposes of this clause, "physical possession" refers to the day on which you or the designated third party physically receives the last item of your order.
9.2
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw from this contract through an unequivocal statement (preferably via email).

We will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless otherwise expressly agreed with you or if it is not possible; in no case will you incur any fees as a result of this repayment. We may withhold the repayment until we or our partner have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have sent the goods back, whichever is earlier. You must return or hand over the goods to the partner without undue delay and in any event no later than fourteen days from the day you inform us or the respective partner of the withdrawal from this contract. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the fourteen-day period has expired.
10.4
The costs of returning the goods are to be borne by you.
