If the distance contract is concluded electronically, the text of these terms and conditions may be provided to the consumer electronically in such a way that the consumer can store them on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated where the terms and conditions can be accessed electronically and that they will be sent electronically or otherwise free of charge upon request.
If specific product or service conditions apply in addition to these terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs apply accordingly, and in case of conflicting terms, the consumer may rely on the provision most favorable to them.
