2) Offerings and functions of this website
This website is an online shop for the sale of goods, digital content, and services.
Goods are defined here as physical items.
Digital content, on the other hand, is data or data sets that are created and provided in digital form.
Here you will find products that can be added to an electronic shopping cart and then ordered and paid for with binding effect.
This website has a header and footer menu.
The header menu lists the products we sell by category, from which they can be accessed individually.
Each product is described on a separate detail page with further information about its essential characteristics, the scope of delivery or service, and the total price. From there, it can be added to the electronic shopping cart.
In addition, the electronic shopping cart can be accessed via the header menu as soon as you have added at least one product to it. The electronic ordering process can be initiated and completed from this shopping cart.
In the footer menu, you will find links to our legal notice with our contact information, as well as information on the legal basis of our online offer, delivery and payment options, and links to other helpful service pages.

4) Legal requirements for accessibility
As an online shop, this website is considered an “electronic commerce service” and features an electronic ordering and payment option.
It is subject to special legal requirements for accessibility.
In general, this website must provide functions and procedures that are tailored to the needs of people with disabilities and enable usability with digital aids.
The online shop functions of this website must therefore be
- perceivable
- operable
- understandable, and
- robust
in design.
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 limited mobility or mental abilities.
Comprehensibility requires that the information and functions of the online shop are logically structured, easily recognizable, and unambiguously labeled.
Finally, robustness requires that the content and functions of the online shop can be used reliably and without restrictions, even when users employ digital aids.
If the online shop sells products that are subject to its own accessibility requirements, information on accessible use must be provided for such products, where available.
5) Available aids for accessible use
This website meets accessibility requirements through the following measures:
- Alt texts for images: Images in the online shop are provided with alternative texts that give a brief description of the image and can be processed by screen readers (screen reading aids).
- Accessible captchas: To ensure that entries are made by humans, so-called “captchas” may be used. These captchas can be operated not only by visual recognition using visual ability, but also by solving simple puzzles.
- Operability via mouse and keyboard: The online shop functions can be operated using both a mouse and a keyboard. The mouse pointer can be moved and activated in the online shop using the control keys on the keyboard.
- Browser-independent page output: The content and functions of this website are available in the same layout, orientation, and resolution regardless of the browser used.
- Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): A programming language is used that separates the presentation of the page content in terms of layout, color, and design from its content structure. This enables digital aids to use their own visibility schemes to display the page content.
- Verified correctness of HTML codes: All HTML codes are permanently checked for functionality to rule out malfunctions and the inability to be detected by digital aids.
- Sufficient spacing between characters: Characters are displayed with sufficient spacing between them so as not to impair readability.
- Compatibility with screen readers: The content of the online shop is compatible with all common screen readers (screen reading aids) and can be read and processed by them.
- Responsive design (adaptation to different screen sizes): The dimensions of the content, elements, and functions automatically adapt to the size of the screen used.
- Scalability (visibility when enlarged): Page elements and content remain legible in high resolution even when enlarged.
- Strong color contrast: A strong contrast between font colors and backgrounds is preset to ensure optimal visibility of page elements.
- Text prompts when input fields are not filled in: If mandatory input fields are not filled in, a color highlight is displayed along with a text prompt. This prompt indicates which information is missing in the input field.
