– price including taxes
– possible costs of delivery
– the manner in which the agreement has been concluded and the necessary signatures
– whether to apply the right of withdrawal
– the method of payment, delivery and performance of the contract

Lovelings can notify or check, within the legal framework, if the consumer can meet the payment obligations, and also check all important facts and factors which are needed to finalize a sound distance agreement. If Lovelings based on research, has good reasons not to conclude the agreement then he is entitled to motivate and to refuse an order/ request or he can connect special conditions to the execution of the offer.

The address that has been made known by the consumer to Lovelings is considered to be the delivery address.
