4. In the event that individual clauses of the present GTB become invalid, this will neither render the remaining regulations ineffective or/nor any other contracts based upon these. The contracting parties will jointly agree to find a valid alternative that most closely fulfills both content and purpose of the former regulation.

The Order and the Contract

1. Our offers are all subject to alteration. The customer’s orders represent offers as defined by law, to which the customer will be legally bound once the grace period of three weeks is over. The contract between ourselves and the customer will become legally binding as soon as the customer has received our order confirmation, delivery has been made or the service(s) rendered. We are not required to send the customer any more information in order to confirm his order.
2. Upon placing an order you will receive an automatically produced email confirming the receipt of order.
3. The customer should know that the internet does not represent a secure medium of communication and that data transferred via the internet may either become known to or be changed by third parties. The customer bears the risk of data either not being delivered or being delivered differently from how it was sent. We assume that the data that arrives here has been sent as received from the customer.
4. The photos on the websites are illustrations but we do our best to make sure that they represent the true images of the products regarding colors and forms but this cannot be granted.

Prices

1. Our prices do not include VAT, the prices on the websites are net prices in euro. The VAT is calculated during the checkout process based on the state of delivery. In the event of purchase from EU member states the amount of VAT is 20% which is the Austrian VAT. In the event of outside EU purchase the VAT shall be paid by the customer in the state of delivery.
