The Cylinder is proprietary to SodaStream, patent pending and protected by other intellectual property rights. Further, to protect users' safety and health, various directives and regulations govern and regulate the use, refilling, maintenance, retesting and repair of the Cylinder. SodaStream possesses the legally required knowledge and expertise to be responsible for strict legal compliance that can only be guaranteed if the Cylinder is maintained, examined, retested and refilled by it. Thus, the Cylinder remains the property of SodaStream and is provided under License.

2. Refilling an empty Cylinder by third parties may infringe SodaStream's intellectual property rights, including patents and other proprietary rights, may be risky and may violate certain laws. SodaStream only warrants the safety of Cylinders refilled by it, bearing a SodaStream tamper proof valve seal. You may not remove or change any proprietary notice appearing on or accompanying the Cylinders.
3. If you return the Cylinder to SodaStream or an authorized SodaStream distributor, without exchanging it for a full one, you will be entitled to a return fee of 2 or local equivalent.
4. The Cylinder, together with this User License, may be transferred to a third party provided the third party agrees to be bound by the conditions and ownership rights expressed herein. Possession of this User License proves the right of its holder to use one Cylinder under the terms herein.
