Below, you will find information regarding the accessibility of our online services.

We will inform you about:

the features and functions available on this website,
how to use these features and functions,
the available options for accessible use, and

2) Services and Features of This Website

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

Goods are defined as tangible items.

You will find products presented here that can be added to a virtual shopping cart, then ordered and paid for in a binding manner.

This website includes a header and footer menu.

The header menu lists the products we offer, organized by category. Each product can be accessed individually from there.

Each product is described on a dedicated detail page with further information about its key characteristics, the scope of delivery or service, and the total price. From there, the product can be added to the virtual shopping cart.

Once you have added at least one product to the shopping cart, you can access it via the header menu. From the shopping cart, you can initiate and complete the electronic order process.

In the footer menu, you will find links to our legal notice, including contact information, as well as details regarding the legal basis of our online offering, delivery and payment options, and other helpful service pages.

3) Explanations for Using the Features and Services

3.1 Virtual Buttons

This website can be operated using virtual buttons.

3.2 Homepage, Overview Pages, and Product Detail Pages

On the homepage, a selection of products is displayed in the central page area. By interacting with a product presentation, you are directed to the corresponding product detail page.

In the header menu, you can navigate between different product categories. Once a category is selected, an overview page is displayed showing all products in that category.

By interacting with a product on the overview page, you are again directed to the product’s detail page.

The product detail pages contain all essential information about the product and the total price, as well as a quantity selector and an “Add to Cart” button, where applicable.

If a quantity selector is present, you can define the desired order quantity.

3.3 Virtual Shopping Cart

By clicking the “Add to Cart” button, the product (in the selected quantity, if applicable) is added to the virtual shopping cart.

The shopping cart can be accessed at any time via the header menu.

Here, you can review the added products. Products can be removed or the quantity changed (where applicable) using the relevant buttons.

3.4 Electronic Order Process

After reviewing your cart, you can complete the order process by interacting with the corresponding buttons.

You will first be asked to enter your contact details (at a minimum: name, email address, and shipping or billing address) using an input form.

In the next step, you can select from the available delivery or service options.

Finally, you will be able to choose one of the available payment methods, enter the necessary payment information, and complete your order.

The binding order is only placed once you click the designated order button on the final order page. This button is labeled with clear wording such as "Buy," "Buy Now," or "Place Binding Order."

Before clicking this final order button, you may navigate back to previous steps using your browser's “Back” button, or cancel the order process at any time.

If you choose to pay using an online payment method, you will be redirected from the final order page to the payment provider’s system to complete the transaction.

4) Legal Requirements for Accessibility

As an online shop offering electronic ordering and payment options, this website qualifies as a “service in electronic commerce.”

Therefore, it is subject to specific legal requirements regarding accessibility.

In general, this website must include features and processes that address the needs of people with disabilities and ensure usability with digital assistive technologies.

The online shop functions must be:

perceivable,
operable,
understandable, and
robust.

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

Operability ensures that the shop’s features can be used by individuals with limited motor or cognitive abilities.

Understandability requires that the information and functions are logically structured, clearly labeled, and easy to recognize.

Robustness demands that the content and functions remain reliably usable, including when digital assistive technologies are used.

If the online shop sells products that are themselves subject to accessibility requirements, information about their accessible use must be provided—where available.

5) Available Aids for Accessible Use

This website meets accessibility requirements through the following measures:

Alt Texts for Images: All images are provided with alternative text descriptions that can be processed by screen readers.
Adjustable Font Size: The font size of website content can be adjusted to improve legibility for all users.
Adjustable Color Contrast: The color contrast of page elements can be increased or decreased as needed.
Operation via Mouse and Keyboard: All functions are operable via both mouse and keyboard. Keyboard control allows users to navigate and activate features without a mouse.
Browser-Independent Layout: Content and functionality remain consistent across different browsers in terms of layout, alignment, and resolution.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): A programming language is used to separate the presentation (layout, color, and design) from the structure of the content, enabling assistive technologies to apply their own visibility schemes.
Sufficient Letter Spacing: Text characters are displayed with adequate spacing to ensure readability.
Screen Reader Compatibility: The content is compatible with all major screen readers and can be processed accordingly.
Responsive Design: The layout, content, and functionality automatically adjust to the size of the device screen.
Scalability: All page elements remain clearly visible and readable even when zoomed in.
High Color Contrast: Strong contrast between text and background colors is preset to ensure optimal visibility.
Textual Error Notices: If required fields are left empty, a text-based error message is displayed in addition to color highlighting. This message clarifies what information is missing.

6) Responsible Supervisory Authority

A supervisory authority will be responsible for monitoring the accessibility of this website.

At present, no authority has been designated.

Once a responsible authority is appointed, its name and address will be published here.
