Warranty and liability regarding the application
examples
The application examples of the software library „RBG_Failsafe_DS_V5_4" or
„RBG_Failsafe_TS_V13" (following "application example") of Siemens AG are a free
of charge service for our customers. The application examples are to be understood
as non-binding and they could be incomplete concerning configuration and
equipment. The application examples shall not constitute customized solutions, but
rather simply provide support for typical questions. Every customer is responsible
for appropriate conditions and operations of the products within the valid regulations
and has to control the results of the application examples and adapt them
individually to its system.
Any claims against us – based on whatever legal reason – resulting from the use of
the examples, information, programs, engineering and performance data etc.,
described in this Application Example shall be excluded. Such an exclusion shall not
apply in the case of mandatory liability, e.g. under the German Product Liability Act
("Produkthaftungsgesetz"), in case of intent, gross negligence, or injury of life, body
or health, guarantee for the quality of a product, fraudulent concealment of a
deficiency or breach of a condition which goes to the root of the contract
("wesentliche Vertragspflichten"). The damages for a breach of a substantial
contractual obligation are, however, limited to the foreseeable damage, typical for the
type of contract, except in the event of intent or gross negligence or injury to life,
body or health. The above provisions do not imply a change of the burden of proof to
your detriment.
When using these Application Examples, you recognize that we cannot be made
liable for any damage/claims beyond the liability clause described. We reserve the
right to make changes to these Application Examples at any time without prior
notice. If there are any deviations between the recommendations provided in these
application examples and other Siemens publications – e.g. Catalogs – the contents
of the other documents have priority.
We do not accept any liability for the information contained in this document.
Transfer and reproduction of these application examples or extracts of them are
forbidden if not explicit allowed by the Siemens AG.
Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that sup-
port the secure operation of plants, solutions, machines, equipment and/or networks.
They are important components in a holistic industrial security concept. With this in
mind, Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development. Siemens
recommends strongly that you regularly check for product updates.
For the secure operation of Siemens products and solutions, it is necessary to take
suitable preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and integrate each compo-
nent into a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Third-party products
that may be in use should also be considered. For more information about industrial
security, visit http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity.
To stay informed about product updates as they occur, sign up for a product-specific
newsletter. For more information, visit http://support.automation.siemens.com.
