Explanation:
Personally I would not translate the words "zur Vermittlung" as doing so would make the English clumsy, and it makes sense without. I would say something like:

All services offered by XYZ on their website constitute [merely] an offer to the customer.

I have added "merely" to make it sound a bit more English.

  -> Don't wish even more work on yourself!
neutral  Steffen Walter: I'd use 'brokered' instead of 'offered' to reflect the aspect of 'Vermittlung' - no clumsiness involved here (see my suggestion below).

Explanation:
It's not the services that are being brokered; the asker's previous question shows that the company is a brokerage.
