Home, overview and detail pages
On the home page, you will find a selection of products offered in the central area of the page. By interacting with a product presentation, you will be taken to the product detail page.
You can navigate between the different product categories using the header menu. After selecting a category, you will be taken to an overview page displaying all products in that category.
By interacting with a product presentation on the overview page, you will again be taken to the product detail page.
In addition to all essential information about the product and the total price, the product detail pages may contain a quantity selection element and an add-to-cart button.
Where available, the desired order quantity can be specified using the quantity selection.
Electronic shopping cart
By clicking the add-to-cart button, you add the product (in the selected quantity, where 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 products you have added. Using the corresponding buttons, products can be removed or, where applicable, the order quantity can be changed.
Electronic ordering process
After reviewing the shopping cart, you can complete the electronic ordering process by interacting with the corresponding buttons.
You will first be asked to enter your contact details using an input form (at least your name, email address and delivery or billing address).
In the next step, you can select from the available delivery or service options.
Finally, you can choose one of the available payment methods, enter the required payment details and complete the order.
The order becomes binding only when the designated button on the final order page is clicked. It is labelled "Buy", "Buy now", "Order with obligation to pay" or another unambiguous wording.
Before clicking this order button, you can use your browser's "Back" button at any time to return to previous steps and/or cancel the ordering process at any time.
If you have selected an online payment method, you will be redirected from the final order page to the payment provider's system to make the payment there.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
4) Legal accessibility requirements
As an online shop, this website is classified as a so-called "electronic commerce service" and is characterised by the possibility of placing orders and making payments electronically.
Special legal accessibility requirements apply to it.
In general, this website must provide functions and procedures that are geared towards the needs of people with disabilities and enable operation using digital assistive technologies.
For this purpose, the online shop functions of this website must be
Perceivable
Operable
Understandable
Robust
Perceivability means that the information and components of the online shop are presented in such a way that they can be easily perceived by all users.
Operability requires that the functions of the online shop can also be used by users with limitations in mobility or cognitive abilities.
Understandability requires that the information and functions of the online shop are logically structured, easy to recognise and clearly labelled.
Robustness ultimately requires that the content and functions of the online shop can be used reliably and without restriction, even when users employ digital assistive technologies.
If products that are themselves subject to accessibility requirements are offered for sale in the online shop, information on the accessible use of such products must be provided where available.

ACCESSIBLE USE
5) Available support for accessible use
This website meets the accessibility requirements through the following measures:
Alternative text for images
Images in the online shop are provided with alternative text containing a brief description of the image, which can be processed by screen readers.
Adjustable font size
The font size of the page content can be adjusted using the available settings in order to make it as easy as possible for each user to perceive.
Adjustable colour contrast
The colour contrast of page elements can be adjusted. It can be increased or decreased.
Operation by mouse and keyboard
The online shop functions can be operated using both a mouse and a keyboard. The keyboard control keys can be used to move and operate the mouse pointer within the online shop.
Browser-independent page display
The content and functions of this website are available in identical arrangement, orientation 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 appearance, colour and design from its structural organisation. This allows digital assistive technologies to use their own visibility schemes to display the page content.
Verified correctness of HTML code
All HTML code is continuously checked for functionality in order to prevent functional failures and ensure that it can be detected by digital assistive technologies.
Sufficient spacing between characters
Characters are displayed with sufficient spacing between them so that readability is not impaired.
Screen reader compatibility
The content of the online shop is compatible with all common screen readers and can be read and processed by them.
Responsive design (adaptation to different screen sizes)
The dimensions of content, elements and functions automatically adapt to the size of the screen being used.
Scalability (visibility when enlarged)
Page elements and content remain legible in high resolution even when enlarged.
Strong colour contrast
A strong contrast between the colours of text and backgrounds is preset to ensure optimum visibility of page elements.
Text notices for incomplete input fields
If mandatory input fields are not completed, a text notice is displayed in addition to a coloured marking. This notice indicates which information is missing from the input field.
