- the Provider has supplied the Customer with a confirmation in accordance with Section 5(2) or Section 7(3) of the Austrian Distance and Off-Premises Contracts Act (FAGG).

7.3. The Provider will send the Customer, to the email address provided by the Customer, a confirmation without undue delay that the order has been received by the Provider ("Order Confirmation"). This Order Confirmation does not constitute acceptance of the Customer's order but merely confirms receipt of the order by the Provider.

The Provider will notify the Customer of such circumstances as soon as possible.
10. Default by the Provider
10.1. If the Provider defaults on its performance, the Customer must first request the Provider to render the performance within a reasonable grace period of two weeks. If the Provider fails to perform within this period, the Customer may withdraw from the contract or continue to demand performance.
11. Warranty

12. Liability and Damages
12.1. The Provider's liability for damage caused by slight negligence, with the exception of personal injury and breach of principal contractual obligations, is excluded. Liability is furthermore excluded for pure financial loss, loss of profit, third-party damage, indirect damage and consequential damage caused by defects. The limiting or excluding provisions of this Clause 12 do not apply insofar as gross negligence or intent on the part of the Provider is present.
13. General Provisions
13.1. Unless Austrian law applies in any event due to the orientation of this Web Shop towards Austria, the exclusive applicability of Austrian law, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, is agreed.

13.3. The Customer may only offset claims against the Provider's claims if the claims are legally connected with the Provider's claims, have been acknowledged, or have been established by a court.
13.4. The Customer is obliged to notify the Provider of any changes to their address. If the Customer fails to notify a change of address, a declaration by the Provider sent to the last address provided is nevertheless deemed to have been received by the Customer.
Withdrawal Instructions
Right of Withdrawal / Right of Cancellation
The term "Rücktrittsrecht" commonly used in Austria corresponds to the term "Widerrufsrecht" (right of withdrawal) commonly used in Germany and in the Consumer Rights Directive. In these instructions, the term "right of withdrawal" is used throughout; it has the same meaning as the Austrian term "Rücktrittsrecht".
Exclusion of the Right of Withdrawal
In the case of contracts for the supply of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, there is no right of withdrawal where the Provider – with the express consent of the Customer and after the Customer has acknowledged the loss of the right of withdrawal – has begun performance of the contract before expiry of the withdrawal period.
