3.3. The seller then sends the customer an automatic confirmation of receipt by e-mail in which the customer’s order is listed again and which the customer can print out using the “Print” function (order confirmation). The automatic confirmation of receipt only documents that the customer’s order has been received by the seller and does not constitute acceptance of the application.
