The following «General Terms and Conditions» are valid for all services and products of LK Luftqualität AG.

LK Luftqualität AG explicitly keeps the right of changing the «General Terms and Conditions» at any time. Decisive is always the version which was valid at the time of the conclusion of the contract. As long as there is no other arrangement, the acceptance of the «General Terms and Conditions» by the customer takes place if an order is made with LK Luftqualität AG.

The products which are developed by ionair ag are the intellectual property of ionair ag. All rights, including design, creation and other rights of protection are reserved by our company.

The copying and transmission of extracts of the offer with enclosed mechanical bulletins, data sheets and drawings to persons who are not in a direct relationship with the company this offer was made to, needs a written approval of ionair ag.

The contract partners treat all facts confidentially which are not generally accessible or in public domain. The confidentiality is to be observed before the conclusion of a contract and also remains valid after the ending of the contractual relationship.
