In the event your organization or company is located in an EU country (except Germany) and you can provide a VAT Number, please send your order including VAT No by email. We will check the VAT number and process your order "offline".

If a supplier no longer provides the goods ordered despite a contractual duty to do so, and we are not responsible for the resulting inability to perform over an extended period, we have the right to withdraw from the contract. In case of withdrawal, we will inform you immediately of the unavailability and reimburse you for payments already provided.
10 Consumers' rights, liability
(1) If the goods are defective upon delivery, we will provide a remedy for the defects or a substitute delivery. If the remedy or the substitute delivery fails, you can demand that your payment be reduced or that the contract be nullified at your discretion.
(2) Our liability for our own faults and those of our legal representatives and vicarious agents is limited to intent and gross negligence. This does not apply to the violation of essential contractual duties or a lack of promised features. Liability as stipulated by the Product Liability Act applies notwithstanding.
