6. If one or more of the provisions in these terms and conditions are or become null and void or annulled entirely or in part at any time, the contract and these terms and conditions will otherwise remain in force and the respective provision will be replaced immediately by mutual consultation, by a provision as close as possible to the purport of the original provision.

1. If an offer has limited validity or if conditions apply, it will be explicitly stated in the offer.

3. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products and services being offered. By accepting, the consumer recognises that the description is sufficiently detailed to allow a good assessment of the offer by the consumer.
