Terms and conditions

Last updated July 10, 2025

Agreement to our legal terms

We are IKONION Digitale Medien GmbH, trading under the name IKONION (“Company”, ‘we’, ‘us’, “our”), a company registered in Germany at Schopenhauerstraße 9A, 68165 Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg.

We operate the website https://easyeyeweb.com/ (“Website”) and all other related products and services that reference or link to these Legal Terms (collectively, the “Services”).

Easy Eye Web is a cloud-based video hosting platform that plays educational videos created by IKONION on ophthalmic anatomy, diagnostics and treatment procedures. The service allows licensed eye care professionals – such as ophthalmology practices, eye clinics, optometrists and optical retailers – to embed these videos on their own websites for the sole purpose of patient information and visual explanation. Easy Eye Web does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment; all clinical content is for informational purposes only and may only be used in its original form on the customer’s website.

You can contact us by phone at +49 (0) 800 – IKONION (0800 4566466), by e-mail at info@ikonion.com or by mail at Schopenhauerstraße 9A, 68165 Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

You acknowledge that by accessing the Services, you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Legal Terms. If you do not agree to all of these Legal Terms, you are expressly prohibited from using the Services and must stop using them immediately.

We will inform you in advance of any planned changes to the services you use. The amended Legal Terms will be effective upon posting or notification via info@ikonion.com as specified in the email message. By continuing to use the Services after the effective date of the changes, you agree to be bound by the amended terms.
