2) Offer and functions of this website

This website is an online store for the sale of goods and digital content.

Goods are considered to be physical objects.

Digital content, on the other hand, is data or data sets that are created and provided in digital form.

Products are presented here that can be added to an electronic shopping cart and then ordered and paid for.

This website has a header and footer menu.

The products we sell are listed by category in the header menu and can be accessed individually from there.

Each product is described on a separate detail page with further information about its key features, scope of delivery, and total price. From there, it can be added to your shopping cart.

You can also access the electronic shopping cart via the header menu once you have added at least one product to it. From this shopping cart, you can initiate and complete the electronic ordering process.

In the footer menu you will find links to our imprint with our contact information as well as information on the legal basis of our online offer, delivery and payment options as well as links to other helpful service pages.

4) Legal requirements for accessibility

As an online shop, this website is considered to be one of the so-called “electronic commerce services” and is characterized by electronic ordering and payment options.

Special legal requirements regarding accessibility apply to them.

In general, this website must provide features and procedures that are tailored to the needs of people with disabilities and enable usability with digital tools.

The online shop functions of this website must

  • perceptible
  • operable
  • understandable and
  • robust

be designed.

Perceivability means that the information and components of the online shop are presented in such a way that they are easily perceivable for all users.

Usability requires that the functions of the online shop can also be used by users with limitations in mobility or understanding.

Comprehensibility requires that the information and functions of the online shop are logically structured, easily recognizable and unambiguously labeled.

Ultimately, robustness requires that the content and functions of the online shop can be used reliably and without restrictions, even when users use digital tools.

If products are for sale in the online shop that are subject to their own accessibility requirements, information on accessibility must be provided for such products - where available.

5) Available aids for barrier-free use

This website meets accessibility requirements through the following measures:

  • Alt texts for images: Images in the online shop are equipped with alternative texts that provide a short description of the image and can be processed by screen readers.
  • Font size adjustment: The font size of the page content can be adjusted using the settings option to make it as visible as possible for every user.
  • Mouse and keyboard usability: The online shop functions can be operated using both a mouse and a keyboard. The mouse pointer can be moved and operated using the keyboard's control keys.
  • Browser-independent page display: The content and functions of this website are available in identical layout, orientation and resolution regardless of the browser used.
  • 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 content structure. This allows digital tools to use their own visibility schemes to display page content.
  • Tested correctness of HTML codes: All HTML codes are continuously tested for functionality to prevent malfunctions and inability to read them using digital tools.
  • Sufficient spacing between characters: Characters are displayed with sufficient spacing between them so as not to impair readability.
  • Compatibility with screen readers: The contents of the online shop are 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 magnified): Page elements and content remain readable in high resolution even when magnified.
  • Strong color contrast: A strong contrast between the colors of characters and backgrounds is preset to ensure optimal visibility of page elements.
  • Text notifications for missing input fields: If mandatory input fields are left blank, a text notification appears in addition to a color highlight. This notification clarifies which information is missing from the input field.
