§ 2 Conclusion of Contracts

Any purchase orders by the Customer shall only be binding on Cross if they are accepted by Cross or complied with by sending the goods.

If the Customer places his order through the Internet or by email, the Customer will be sent an email by Cross confirming receipt of the purchase order and stating particulars regarding the purchase order (order confirmation). Such order confirmation as such shall not constitute an acceptance of the Customer’s offer; rather, it merely constitutes a notification to the Customer that his order has been received by Cross.

3. The Customer shall be bound by his purchase order for a period of 14 days from receipt of his purchase order by Cross.

4.
