1.) Applicability
1.1 These Terms of Service (hereinafter 'TOS') of Lukas Schütte, acting in the name of 'Lukas Schütte' (hereinafter 'seller') apply for all contracts about the delivery of goods concluded by a private person or entrepreneur (hereinafter 'customer') made with the seller regarding the goods displayed in their online shop. Hereby, the inclusion of terms and conditions raised by the customer are turned down, unless another personal agreement exists.
1.2 For contracts regarding the delivery of vouchers, these TOS apply unless another personal agreement exists.
1.3 Private customers are declared as every natural person, which concludes a deal or contract with an intended purpose of not acting in the function of a freelancer nor an employed professional.
1.4 An entrepreneur is a natural or juridical person or a society vested with legal capacity, which acts in a professional function at the moment of the conclusion of a deal.
2) Conclusion of contract
2.1 The article descriptions contained in the online shop of the seller represent no binding offers by the seller. Instead, they are the base for a binding offer by the customer.
2.2 The customer may submit the offer through the online order form, which is integrated into the online shop. The customer submits their binding offer to conclude a contract by confirming the order through pressing the button which finishes the order process after adding the selected goods to the virtual cart and going through the automated ordering process. Furthermore, the customer can submit the offer towards the seller through e-mail or through the online contact form.
2.3 The seller can accept the offer from the customer within five days,
# by submitting a written confirmation or a confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail) whereas the time of reception by the customer represents the determining factor, or
# by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, whereas the time of reception by the customer represents the determining factor, or
# by requesting the payment from the customer after they have submitted their order.
If several of the aforementioned options occur, the contract is concluded at the point of time when one of the aforementioned options is realized first. The time frame for accepting the offer starts at the day after the customer has submitted their offer and ends with the end of the fifth day following the date of the submission of the offer. If the vendor does not accept the offer of the customer within those five days, this counts as a rejection of the offer, resulting in the customer not being bound to their declaration of intention any more.
2.4 By selecting a method of payment supplied by PayPal, the processing of the payment will be performed by PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg, (hereinafter 'PayPal'), according to the Terms and Conditions of PayPal, available here:
https://www.paypal.com/en/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full or, if the customer does not have a PayPal account, according to the Terms and Conditions, available here: https://www.paypal.com/en/webapps/mpp/ua/privacywax-full. If the customer pays in the shop using a method of payment provided by PayPal, the seller declares the acceptance of the oder of the customer at the very moment when the customer clicks onto the button for finalizing the order.
2.5 Upon the submission of an offer via the onine contact form of the seller, the contract text will be saved and sent to the customer after they have sent their order in text form (e.g.) e-mail, fax or letter). Beyond that, the customer will have no access to this text as it will not be published in another way. If the customer has created a personal account in the shop prior to the submission of the order, the order data will be archived on the web site of the seller and can be viewed again by the customer free of charge by using the customers own credentials.
2.6 The customer can check their order for errors by considerate reading of the information shown on the display before finishing the order and render it legally binding by submitting the order form.

The customer can change their data entries as many times as they want prior to clicking on the button which finalizes the ordering process.
