By clicking on the button “Binding Order”, the customer makes a binding offer to Oculyze to conclude a sales contract. The customer then receives a message confirming the receipt of his order at Oculyze. This order confirmation does not constitute acceptance of the offer. The contract is concluded as soon as Oculyze transmits the acceptance via email, fax or message in the customer account (confirmation of acceptance), at the latest however with the dispatch of the ordered goods to the Customer.
