2) Explanations on the Use of the Offerings and Functions

2.1 Virtual Buttons

This website can be operated via virtual buttons.

2.2 Home, Overview, and Detail Pages

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

In the header menu, you can navigate between the different product categories.
After selecting a category, you will be taken to an overview page where all products in this category are displayed.

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 and a shopping cart button.

If available, you can set the desired order quantity via the quantity selection.

2.3 Electronic Shopping Cart

By pressing the shopping 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 added products. 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 provide your contact details (at least name, email address, and delivery and/or billing address) via an input form.

Then, in the next step, you can select from the available delivery and/or service options.

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

The binding placement of the order only occurs when the designated button on the final order page is pressed. It is labeled "Buy", "Buy Now", "Order with Obligation to Pay" or another clear formulation.

Before pressing this order button, you can use your browser's "Back" button at any time to navigate back to the previous steps and/or cancel the ordering process at any time.

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

3) Legal Requirements for Accessibility

This website, as an online shop, is considered a “service in electronic commerce” and is characterized by the possibility of electronic ordering and payment.

Special legal requirements regarding accessibility apply to it.

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

The online shop functions of this website must therefore be

  • perceivable
  • operable
  • understandable, and
  • robust

in their design.

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.

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, easily recognizable, and unambiguously labeled.

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

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

4) Available aids for accessible use

This website fulfills the requirements for accessibility through the following measures:

  • Alt texts for images: Images in the online shop are provided with alternative texts that offer a brief description of the illustration and can be processed by screen readers (screen reading aids).
  • Adjustable font size: The font size of the page content can be adjusted via settings options to make it as perceivable as possible for every user.
  • Accessible captchas: To ensure that entries are of human origin, so-called “captchas” may be used. These captchas can be operated not only by optical assignment using vision, but also by solving simple cognitive tasks.
  • Operability by mouse and keyboard: The online shop functions can be operated both by mouse and by keyboard. Using the control keys of the keyboard, the mouse pointer can be moved and activated in the online shop.
  • Browser-independent page output: The content and functions of this website are available in identical arrangement, 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 makes it possible for digital assistive tools to use their own visibility schemes to display the page content.
  • Adequate spacing between characters: Characters are displayed with sufficient spacing from each other to avoid impairing readability.
  • Responsive design (adaptation to different screen sizes): The content, elements, and functions automatically adjust their dimensions to the size of the screen used.
  • Scalability (visibility when enlarged): Page elements and content remain high-resolution and legible even when enlarged.
  • Strong color contrast: A strong contrast between the colors of characters and backgrounds is preset to ensure optimal visibility of page elements.
