Soeder assumes no liability for any information concerning expected delivery times, which should therefore not be considered binding and subject to change at any time and without notice.

The products, services and prices published at www.[soeder].com constitute an offer to sell. This offer, however, is always subject to the subsequent condition that delivery may be impossible or the price was incorrectly posted (either by the manufacturer or by Soeder). This means that articles that are no longer available will not be delivered. In addition, this may mean that we have not indicated the correct price in our shop.

The customer enters into a contract with Soeder upon submitting an order through our online shop, our brick-and-mortar shop, by telephone or by email. Soeder will acknowledge the receipt of the customer's order by sending an automatically generated order confirmation email. This automatically generated order confirmation does not warrant that the product is actually available and can be delivered. It merely indicates to the customer that Soeder has received his order and that the customer has entered into a contract, subject to the ability of Soeder to fulfil the order.

If the product is not available or its price was inaccurately posted, the contract will be terminated immediately without further input from the parties. We will inform the customer immediately if this situation occurs. If the product has already been delivered to the customer, the title to the item will automatically revert to Soeder and the customer will be required to return it in exchange for a refund from Soeder of the purchase price. If the product has not already been delivered to the customer, the customer will not be obliged to pay the purchase price or accept delivery. If either situation occurs, Soeder is not required to make a substitute delivery.
