It is not possible to make purchases of products on our website. However the user has the option to select products directly from the producer platform and to purchase them online from one of the specialized dealers that are listed on the website.

Any and all obligations resulting from the purchase of products, especially the sales contract, the payment and delivery arrangements, and the guarantee are limited exclusively to the user and dealer which the user has selected during the ordering process. The Modelleisenbahn GmbH is not a contractual partner for the sale because the user of the producer platform does not enter into a sales contract with the Modelleisenbahn GmbH but with the dealer.
