Warranty and Liability

Warranty and Liability
Note
The Application Examples are not binding and do not claim to be complete regarding the
circuits shown, equipping and any eventuality. The Application Examples do not represent
customer-specific solutions. They are only intended to provide support for typical
applications. You are responsible for ensuring that the described products are used
correctly. These Application Examples do not relieve you of the responsibility to use safe
practices in application, installation, operation and maintenance. 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.
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.
Any form of duplication or distribution of these Application Examples or excerpts
hereof is prohibited without the expressed consent of the Siemens AG.
Security
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
informa-
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
tion
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens' products and solutions only form one element of such a
concept.
Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines
and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to the
enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent necessary and with appropriate
security measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) in place.
Additionally, Siemens' guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into
account. For more information about industrial security, please visit

Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and
to always use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer
supported, and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer's exposure to cyber
threats.
