The Quotation may only be accepted by the Customer sending an acceptance containing the essential data of the Quotation to the Contractor by e-mail, which is also received by the Contractor. Acceptance is deemed to have been given when the written declaration is received by the Contractor. This also applies if an automatic reply to receipt is received from the Contractor's mailbox.

After the conclusion of the Contract, the Customer may request changes to the contents of the Quotation or to the Product, in particular to the design, colour, material, size and quantity. In such a case, the Contractor shall draw up a new Quotation for the Customer, which may also include the work that the Contractor has already carried out under the original Contract and its remuneration, if any.

If the Parties have agreed on a sample Product to be made, or if the content of the Quotation so provides, the Contractor shall produce the sample Product by the deadline specified in the Quotation, which the Customer shall either accept or return to the Contractor with comments. In the event that the Customer requests changes to the sample Product, it shall return the sample Product to the Contractor with its comments. A new sample shall be made by the Contractor at the Contractor's expense once only; repeated changes to the sample may be made by the Contractor against an additional charge based on a modified Quotation.

In the event that the amount already paid exceeds the amount of the Products available to the Customer as at the date of receipt of the declaration of withdrawal or termination, the Contractor shall refund the excess, but in such a case shall be entitled to compensation for damages in accordance with the provisions of clause 9 of these GTC.
