(2) If no copies of the product selected by the customer are available at the time of the customer’s order, the provider shall inform the customer immediately in the order confirmation. If the product is permanently not available, the provider denies a declaration of acceptance. A contract is not concluded in this case.

(3) Delivery risk is borne by the provider only, when the customer is a consumer.
