The order takes place by completing and clicking on the respective fields or buttons provided in the online order forms. Orders for different goods can be collected in a shopping basket provided for this purpose and placed jointly.

By sending the completely or sufficiently completed online order, the Customer issues a binding and – apart from the separate rights of cancellation or return – also irrevocable offer to buy on the conditions defined in the order, and undertakes to completely fulfil this.

Carinthia shall accept the order after this has been received by sending an order confirmation to the Customer, and shall undertake to deliver the goods ordered on the respective applicable conditions.

Complaints about missing or defective items must be made IMMEDIATELY at receipt of goods (same day). Subsequent complaints can no longer be accepted.

Carinthia is unable to accept any liability for the acceptance of the shipment by authorised persons. Any liability by the transport or delivery service provider remains unaffected by this.
