2) Offers and Functions of This Website

This website is an online shop for the sale of goods.

In this context, goods are defined as tangible items.

Here, you will be presented with goods that can be added to an electronic shopping cart and then obligatorily ordered and paid for.

This website features a header and a footer menu.

In the header menu, the goods we sell are listed by category and can be accessed individually from there.

Each item is described on its own detailed page with further information on its essential characteristics, scope of delivery, and total price. From there, it can be added to the electronic shopping cart.

Furthermore, the electronic shopping cart can be accessed via the header menu as soon as you have added at least one item to it. From this shopping cart, the electronic ordering process can be initiated and completed.

In the footer menu, you will find links to our imprint with our contact information, as well as to information on the legal basis of our online offerings, shipping and payment options, and links to other helpful service pages.

3) Explanations on Using the Offerings and Functions

3.1 Virtual Buttons

This website can be operated via virtual buttons.

3.2 Home, Overview, and Detail Pages

On the home page, you will find a selection of products in the central page area. Interacting with a product presentation will take you to the product detail page.

In the header menu, you can navigate between the different product categories.
After selecting a category, you will arrive at an overview page displaying all products in that category.

Interacting with a product presentation on the overview page will again take you to the product detail page.

The product detail pages contain all essential information about the product and the total price, as well as a quantity selection element and a shopping cart button, if applicable.

If available, the desired order quantity can be set via the quantity selection.

3.3 Electronic Shopping Cart

By pressing the shopping cart button, you add the product (in the selected quantity, if applicable) 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 added products. Products can be removed or, if applicable, their order quantity changed via the corresponding buttons.

3.4 Electronic Ordering Process

After reviewing, you can complete the electronic ordering process by interacting with the corresponding buttons.

First, you will be asked to enter your contact details (at least name, email address, and delivery/billing address) via an input form.

Then, in the next step, you can choose between the available delivery or service options.

Finally, you can select one of the available payment methods, enter the necessary payment data, and complete the order.

The binding submission of the order only occurs when the designated button on the final order page is pressed. It is labeled "Buy," "Buy now," "Order with obligation to pay," or another clear phrasing.

Before pressing this order button, you can navigate back to previous steps at any time using your browser's "Back" button and/or cancel the ordering process at any time.

If you have chosen to pay with an online payment method, you will be redirected from the final order page to the payment provider's system to make the payment there.

4) Legal Requirements for Accessibility

This website, as an online shop, is classified as a "service in electronic commerce" and is characterized by electronic ordering and payment options.

It is subject to special legal requirements for accessibility.

In general, this website must provide functions and procedures that are tailored to the needs of people with disabilities and enable operation with digital assistive technologies.

The online shop functions of this website must therefore be:

  • Perceivable
  • Operable
  • Understandable, and
  • Robust

Perceivability means that the information and components of the online shop are presented in such a way that they are easily perceivable by all users.

Operability requires that the functions of the online shop can also be used by users with mobility or cognitive limitations.

Understandability implies that the information and functions of the online shop are logically structured, easily recognizable, and unambiguously labeled.

Finally, robustness requires that the content and functions of the online shop can be used reliably and without restrictions, even if users employ digital assistive technologies.

If products subject to their own accessibility requirements are sold in the online shop, information on accessible use must be provided for such products, if available.

5) Available Aids for Accessible Use

This website meets accessibility requirements through the following measures:

  • Adjustable font size: The font size of the page content can be adjusted through a setting option to make it as perceivable as possible for every user.
  • Operability via mouse and keyboard: The online shop functions can be operated both by mouse and by keyboard. The mouse pointer can be moved and activated in the online shop using the keyboard's control keys.
  • Browser-independent page output: Content and functions of this website are available in an identical arrangement, alignment, and resolution, regardless of the browser used.
  • Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): A programming language is used that separates the presentation of page content in terms of layout, color, and design from its content structure. This allows digital assistive technologies to use their own visibility schemes to display the page content.
  • Verified correctness of HTML codes: All HTML codes are continuously checked for functionality to prevent functional failures and the inability of digital assistive technologies to capture them.
  • Compatibility with screen readers: The content of the online shop is compatible with all common screen readers (screen reading aids) and can be read and processed by them.
  • Responsive design (adaptation to different screen sizes): The dimensions of the content, elements, and functions automatically adapt to the size of the screen used.
  • Scalability (visibility when magnified): Page elements and content remain legibly high-resolution even when magnified.
  • Strong color contrast: A strong contrast between font colors and backgrounds is preset to ensure optimal visibility of page elements.
  • Text hints for unfilled input fields: If mandatory input fields are not filled, a text hint is provided in addition to a color marking. This hint clarifies what information is missing in the input field.
