Despite our efforts, the content listed below is not accessible:
- embedded third-party content whose design we cannot influence (Trusted Shops review widget, payment buttons from PayPal, Amazon Pay and Klarna, Google Maps maps, 3D tour by Fokus 3D, embedded YouTube videos without our own subtitles)
- PDF documents such as invoices and delivery notes
- individual images and logos without a text alternative (including the logo link, payment method logos, seals)
- individual texts and notices with insufficient colour contrast (including the “in stock” availability label)
- individual scrollable areas that cannot be reached by keyboard (e.g. technical data on product pages)
