2. Advice given by harder is based solely on empirical values ​​from within the company, and only encompasses the latest developments in science and technology in a non-binding way. The information in brochures, catalogues and technical documents is not binding; they do not release the Customer from the need to conduct his own investigations.

The contract covers the manufacture and supply of labels by harder according to the specifications of the Customer.

Section 4 Conclusion of Contract 
For all contracts concluded via the online shop under the internet addresses www.unserdrucker.de or www.labelprint24.com, the German language is exclusively available. The contract is concluded as follows:
1. Your order constitutes an offer to harder for the conclusion of a purchase contract.
2. After placing an order at www.unserdrucker.de or labelprint24.com, harder will send you an email confirming the receipt of your order and listing the details of the order (acknowledgement of receipt). The acknowledgement of receipt is only to inform you that harder has received your order; it does not constitute an acceptance of your offer.
3. The contract is only concluded with the confirmation of the order by harder. The dispatch of the ordered labels is also deemed to be a confirmation of the order.
4. harder is not obliged to accept the Customer's order.
5. Missing, incorrect or incomplete information is deemed expressly as not agreed and does not impose any obligations on harder, neither in terms of performance and warranty, nor in terms of compensation claims. 
6. If the Customer cancels an order, harder is entitled -without prejudice to the assertion of a higher actual damage - to claim 10% of the delivery or service price for the costs incurred by processing the order and for the loss of prospective profits. The Customer has the right to provide evidence of lower damage.

Section 5 Order Placement, Customer Account, Data Check
1. On the websites of www.unserdrucker.de and www.labelprint24.com, the Customer is given access to the so-called calculator, with whose help he can calculate the price of the desired labels by entering the appropriate parameters and finally clicking on ""Calculate"". By clicking the ""Calculate"" button, the Customer is not submitting a binding order.
2. In order to submit an order with harder, the Customer must first open a customer account with which the Customer can log into the online shop. Setting up a customer account is free of charge and does not constitute a binding order either. 
3. If the Customer is logged in via his account, he has the option of uploading his own ready-to-print data for the label previously calculated and to see a preview of the label. 
4. The data made available to harder by the Customer within the framework of his order is not reviewed by harder; the responsibility for the accuracy of the information provided lies solely with the Customer. 
5. This does not apply for data that obviously cannot be processed or read, or if an express agreement (data check) has been made.
harder subjects the data to a free basic check, in which the file format, embedded fonts, colours and/or correct colour space are verified.
6. By activating the box ""Data Check"" the data are fully tested for printability. This is subject to a fee of € 12.00 per data check.
7. The Customer places a binding order for the calculated label by clicking the ""Order Now"" button after having entered all the required information . The order, however, can only be submitted and sent to harder if the Customer has previously accepted the validity of these Terms by clicking the ""Accept T&C"" button, and thus made them the basis of his order. The Customer is bound to his order.

This applies even if the object of contract was renegotiated after contract conclusion without a change being made to the object of the contract.
