We appreciate your visit to our website and thank you for your interest.

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

We will inform you about:

2) Services and Functions of This Website

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

The goods offered are physical items.

Products are presented on the website and can be added to an electronic shopping cart, and then ordered and paid for.

The website includes a header and footer menu.

The header menu lists the products by category, which can be individually accessed.

Each product is described on a dedicated detail page with information on key features, delivery contents, and total price. From there, it can be added to the shopping cart.

Once at least one product is added to the cart, it can be accessed via the header menu. From the cart, the ordering process can be initiated and completed.

The footer menu provides links to our legal notice, contact information, legal foundations of our online services, shipping and payment options, and other helpful service pages.

3) How to Use the Services and Functions

3.1 Virtual Buttons

This website is operated using virtual buttons.

3.2 Home, Category, and Product Pages

The homepage features a selection of products in the central area. Clicking a product takes you to its detail page.

Via the header menu, you can navigate between product categories.
After selecting a category, you’ll land on an overview page listing all products in that category.

Clicking a product on this overview page again takes you to its detail page.

The detail page includes all relevant product and pricing info, possibly a quantity selector, and an add-to-cart button.

If available, you can choose your preferred quantity via the quantity selector.

3.3 Electronic Shopping Cart

Clicking the cart button adds the product (in selected quantity, if applicable) to the electronic cart.

You can access the cart at any time via the header menu.

There you can review the products added, remove them, or change the quantity using dedicated buttons.

3.4 Electronic Ordering Process

After reviewing, you can complete your order using the corresponding buttons.

You will first be asked to enter your contact details (at least name, email address, and shipping/billing address) via a form.

Next, you can choose from the available delivery options.

Finally, you select a payment method, provide your payment details, and complete the order.

The order is only binding once you click the designated order button on the final page, labeled “Buy”, “Order Now”, “Place Binding Order”, or similar clear wording.

Before clicking this button, you can use your browser’s “Back” button to return to previous steps or cancel the process at any time.

If you choose an online payment method, you’ll be redirected to the payment provider’s system after the final page to complete the transaction.

4) Legal Requirements for Accessibility

This website qualifies as an online shop under the category of “services in electronic commerce” and provides order and payment functionality.

It is therefore subject to specific legal accessibility requirements.

Generally, the website must provide features and procedures that cater to the needs of people with disabilities and allow use with assistive digital tools.

The online shop functions must be:

  • perceivable
  • operable
  • understandable
  • robust

“Perceivable” means that the shop’s information and components are easily noticeable by all users.

“Operable” means that users with physical or cognitive impairments can still use the shop’s functions.

“Understandable” implies that information and functions are logically structured, clearly recognizable, and unambiguous.

“Robust” means that the shop’s content and features function reliably even when assistive tools are used.

If the shop sells products subject to their own accessibility requirements, information about their accessible use must also be provided, where available.

5) Available Accessibility Features

This website fulfills accessibility requirements through the following measures:

  • Alt text for images: Product images include alternative text that describes them briefly and is readable by screen readers.
  • Accessible Captchas: When used, captchas can be solved not just visually but also via simple logic tasks.
  • Mouse and keyboard operability: All features can be used by mouse or keyboard, including pointer control via keyboard keys.
  • Browser-independent display: Content and functions appear identically across all browsers in layout and resolution.
  • Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): This separates content structure from appearance, enabling assistive technologies to apply custom visibility schemes.
  • Validated HTML code: All HTML code is continuously checked for proper functionality to prevent errors and ensure compatibility with assistive tools.
  • Adequate character spacing: Text is spaced to maintain readability.
  • Screen reader compatibility: All content works with common screen readers.
  • Responsive design: Layouts automatically adapt to different screen sizes.
  • Scalability: Content remains high-resolution and legible when zoomed in.
  • High contrast: Strong contrast between text and background ensures visibility.
  • Textual error hints: If required fields are left empty, both a color cue and a textual message indicate what’s missing.
