(2) Under the URL www.schuman7b.com the Lessor provides an online form, through which the Tenant can send a booking request to the Lessor after entering the required information. The Tenant hereby makes an offer to conclude a rental agreement, which the Lessor accepts by signing the contract. The Lessor sends the Tenant a booking confirmation.
