The seller is also the provider of the items displayed on the website http://store.tushmagazine.com/.

1.2. Our terms apply exclusively. Any of the customer’s terms and conditions that contradict or deviate from these terms shall not be acknowledged or applied unless they have been expressly approved by us in writing.

He also agrees that such documents and forms may be retained solely in an electronic format and are “transferable records” within the meaning of the UETA.

1.4. Individual agreements made in individual cases (including collateral agreements, supplements and amendments) shall in any case take precedence over these T&C.
