Order process:

The customer can collect products from the Skandix webshop in the shopping cart. The selection can be modified in the shopping cart until the order is finally placed. Only by clicking the button „BUY NOW“ the customer constitutes a binding offer for the conclusion of a contract. This is only possible, if these terms and conditions are accepted as an essential part of the contract by confirming the corresponding check box.

Thereupon the customer will receive the order confirmation including the acceptance of the purchase offer and the payment details according to the customer´s previous selection.

The products included in the order confirmation and the given quantities are part of the contract, provided that they are not marked „not longer supplied“.
