Accessibility Statement

1) Introduction

We are pleased about your visit to our website and thank you for your interest.

Below you will find information on the accessible usability of our online offering.

We inform you about

  • what offerings and functions you can expect on this website,
  • how you can use these offerings and functions,
  • which options for accessible use are available to you, and
  • which authority is responsible for monitoring accessibility on this website.

2) Explanations on the use of the offerings and functions

2.1 Virtual buttons

This website can be operated using virtual buttons.

2.2 Home, overview and detail pages

On the homepage, you will find a selection of offered products in the central page area. By interacting with a product presentation, you will be taken to the product detail page.

In the header menu, you can navigate between the various product categories.
After selecting a category, you will be taken to an overview page showing 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.

The product detail pages contain, in addition to all essential information about the product and the total price, where applicable a quantity selection element as well as an add-to-cart button.

If available, the desired order quantity can be set using the quantity selection.

2.3 Electronic shopping cart

By activating the add-to-cart button, you add the product (if applicable in the selected quantity) 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 again or, where applicable, the order quantity can be changed.

2.4 Electronic ordering process

After reviewing, you can complete the electronic ordering process by interacting with the corresponding buttons.

For this purpose, you will first be asked to enter your contact details (at least name, email address and delivery or billing address) via an input form.

In the next step, you can choose between the available delivery or service options.

Finally, you can select one of the available payment methods, enter the required payment data and complete the order.

The order becomes binding only when the designated button on the final order page is clicked. It is labeled “Buy”, “Buy now”, “Order with obligation to pay” or another clearly unambiguous wording.

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

If you have chosen to pay using an online payment method, you will be redirected from the final order page to the payment provider’s system to complete the payment there.

3) Legal requirements for accessibility

As an online shop, this website qualifies as a so-called “service in electronic commerce” and is characterized by an electronic ordering and payment option.

Special legal accessibility requirements therefore apply to it.

In general, this website must provide functions and procedures that are designed to meet the needs of people with disabilities and enable operation with digital assistive technologies.

The online shop functions of this website must therefore be

  • perceivable,
  • operable,
  • understandable, and
  • 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 cognition.

Understandability presupposes that the information and functions of the online shop are logically structured, easy to recognize and clearly labeled.

Robustness ultimately requires that the content and functions of the online shop can be used reliably and without restrictions, even when users employ digital assistive technologies.

If products are offered for sale in the online shop that are themselves subject to accessibility requirements, information on accessible use must be provided for such products, where available.

4) Available aids for accessible use

This website meets the accessibility requirements through the following measures:

  • Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): A programming language is used that separates the presentation of page content in terms of layout, color and design from its structural content. This makes it possible for 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 malfunctions and ensure detectability by digital assistive technologies.
  • Responsive design (adaptation to different screen sizes): The content, elements and functions automatically adapt their dimensions to the size of the screen being used.
  • Textual notices when mandatory input fields are not completed: If required input fields are not filled in, a textual notice is provided in addition to a color highlight. This notice indicates which information is missing from the input field.
