2) Services and functions of this website

This website is an online shop for the sale of goods.
Physical objects are deemed to be goods.
You will be presented with goods that can be added to an electronic shopping basket and then ordered and paid for.
This website has a header and a footer menu.
The header menu lists the items we sell by category and can be accessed individually from there.
Each product is described on a separate detail page with further information on key features, scope of delivery and total price. From there it can be added to the electronic shopping basket.
You can also access the electronic basket from the top menu once you have added at least one item to it. The electronic ordering process can be initiated and completed from this shopping basket.
In the footer menu you will find links to our legal notice with our

4) Legal requirements for accessibility

As an online shop, this website belongs to the so-called "electronic commerce services" and is characterised by an electronic ordering and payment facility.
As such, there are special legal requirements for accessibility.
In general, this website must provide features and procedures that are adapted to the needs of people with disabilities and allow for use with digital assistive devices.
The online shop functions of this website must be designed to be:

recognisable
operable
comprehensible
and robust.

Recognisability means that the information and components of the online shop are presented in such a way that they can be easily recognised by all users.
Usability requires that the functions of the online shop can also be used by users with limited mobility or intellect.
Comprehensibility requires that the information and functions of the online shop are logically structured, easily understood and clearly labelled.
Finally, robustness requires that the content and functions of the online shop can be used reliably and without restrictions, even if users use digital tools.
If there are products for sale in the online shop that are subject to specific accessibility requirements, information on accessible use must be provided for such products where available.

5) Available aids for accessible use

This website fulfils the accessibility requirements through the following measures:

Alt texts for images: images in the online shop are equipped with alternative texts that provide a brief description of the image and can be processed by screen readers (screen reading aids).
Customisable font size: the font size of the page content can be adjusted to make it as recognisable 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 visual categorisation using sight, but also by solving simple mental tasks.
Operability via mouse and keyboard: the online shop functions can be operated both via mouse and keyboard. The mouse pointer can be moved and operated in the online shop using the control keys on the keyboard.
Browser-independent page output: the content and functions of this website are available in the same layout, orientation and resolution regardless of the browser used.Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): a progra
mming language is used which separates the presentation of the page content in terms of layout, colour and design from its content structure. This makes it possible for digital tools to use their own visibility schemes to display page content.Check
ed correctness of HTML codes: all HTML codes are permanently checked for functionality in order to rule out functional failures and to confirm the ability to capture by digital aids.
Sufficient spacing between characters: characters are displayed at a sufficient distance from each other so as not to impair legibility.
Compatibility with screen readers: the content of the online shop is 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 content, elements and functions automatically adapt their dimensions to the size of the screen being used.
Scalability (visibility when enlarged): page elements and content remain legible in high resolution even when enlarged.
Strong colour contrast: a strong contrast between the colours of characters and backgrounds is preset to ensure optimum visibility of the page elements.
Text notes if input fields are not completed: when mandatory. If input fields are not filled in, a text message is displayed in addition to a coloured marking. This note clarifies which information is missing in the input field.
