1. Area of application
The General Terms and Conditions (“GTC”) determine the contractual framework conditions between the parties Ledavio KIG (“Ledavio”) and a partner of Ledavio (“Customer”) in connection with the provided online software (Software-as a-Service).

Since Ledavio does not store a copy for the customer, he should read and print out these terms and conditions and keep a copy for his own records. The GTC shall also apply irrespective of whether they are or are not expressly referred to.
A detailed description of the services to be provided by Ledavio can be found in the selected plan (“pricing/plans“), which can be found on www.ledavio.design.

The customer’s general terms and conditions are hereby expressly rejected. They are not applicable to the contractual relationship between Ledavio and the customer.
