2. Offer, Order Process and Conclusion of Contract

(1) None of the information and offers contained in our online shop (www.edel-optics.co.uk) relating to the products distributed by us constitute a legally binding offer, but rather an invitation to place an order (a so-called invitatio ad offerendum).

• You initiate the ordering process concerning the products in the cart by clicking “Proceed to Checkout”.

By clicking on “Place your order” you agree to a binding order of all goods in the shopping cart.
