German term or phrase: Aufforderung zur Abgabe eines Angebots
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to understand this.

The entire sentence is: Die in unseren Katalogen und Verkaufsunterlagen, sowie im Internet enthaltenen Angebote sind stets freibleibend, d.h. nur als Aufforderung zur Abgabe eines Angebots zu verstehen.

This appears under the heading: Angebote und Abscluss.
