2. Offer and conclusion of a contract

2.1 Your order and the sending thereof constitute an offer made to pi to conclude a purchase contract.
2.2 Following receipt of your order, pi shall provide you, via e-mail, with confirmation of receipt of your order. This order confirmation does not constitute an acceptance by pi of your offer to conclude a purchase contract. It solely confirms the receipt of your order.

3.4 The purchase contract is concluded under reservation of the right to deliver correctly and on time ourselves. If the supplier of pi fails to supply us with the ordered goods contrary to a contractual obligation, pi shall be entitled to rescind the contract. In this case, you will be informed immediately in writing of the non-availability of the goods and any purchase price which has already been paid will be refunded immediately.
3.5 If the order is carried out in part deliveries, the right of rescission pursuant to section 3.4 shall be restricted to the articles not yet delivered, provided that these cannot be subsequently delivered within a reasonable period of time.

The deadline is met if you send the goods before the end of the period of fourteen days.
