§ 1 General

The contractual language for business relations with foreign customers is German or English.

Customers in terms of these general terms and conditions are consumers, entrepreneurs as well as other legal or natural persons.

§ 2 Order & Conclusion of Contract

Knauer Elektronik is obliged to accept the customer's order according to the terms of the website.

Knauer Elektronik will confirm the receipt of the order immediately by email. The confirmation of receipt does not constitute a binding acceptance of the order. When dealing with consumer's the purchase contract is effective upon delivery of the goods, in any other case at the handover to the shipper, carrier or other for the transport contracted third party. Placing the order by the customer does not conclude a purchase contract between the customer and Knauer Elektronik. In case the customer pays by "prepayment / cash before delivery" or by "PayPal", the contract of purchase becomes effective by sending the order-confirmation and the request for payment.

At all sendings to consumer's Knauer Elektronik bears the risk of transportation.
