Conditions of use for “Electronic documentation”
I. Protection rights and scope of use
The file of your choice is subject to
protective provisions. Festo or third
parties have protective rights to this
electronic documentation, which Festo
provides both on portable data storage
devices (diskettes, CD ROM, removable
disks) as well as on the Internet and/
or intranet, referred to as electronic
documentation below. In so far as third
parties have whole or partial right of
access to this electronic documentation,
Festo has the appropriate rights of use.
Festo permits the user the use under the
following conditions:
1. Scope of use
a) The user of the electronic
documentation is allowed to use this
documentation for his own, exclusively
company-internal purposes on any
number of machines within his business
premises (location). This right of use
includes exclusively the right to save
the electronic documentation on the
central processors (machines) used at
the location.
b) The electronic documentation may
be printed out on a printer at the
location of the user as often as desired,
providing this printout is printed with
or kept in a safe place together with
these conditions of use and other user
instructions.
c) With the exception of the Festo
logo, the user has the right to use
pictures and texts from the electronic
documentation for creating his own
machine and system documentation.
The use of the Festo logo requires
written consent from Festo. The user
is responsible for ensuring that the
pictures and texts used match the
machine/system or the product.
d) Further uses are permitted within the
following framework:
Copying exclusively for use within the
framework of machine and system
documentation from electronic
documents of all documented supplier
components. Demonstrating to third
parties exclusively under guarantee
that no data material is stored wholly or
partly in other networks or other data
storage devices or can be reproduced
there.
Passing on printouts to third parties not
covered by the regulation in item 3, as
well as any processing or other use are
not permitted.
2. Copyright note
Every “electronic document” receives
a copyright note. This note must be
included on every copy and every
printout.
Example: E 2003, Festo AG & Co. KG,
D-73726 Esslingen
3. Transferring the authorisation of
use
The user can transfer the authorization
of use in the scope of and with
the limitations of the conditions
in accordance with items 1 and 2
completely to a third party. The third
party must be made explicitly aware of
these conditions of use.
II. Exporting the electronic documen-
tation
When exporting the electronic
documentation, the licence holder
must observe the export regulations of
the exporting country and those of the
purchasing country.
III. Warranty
1. Festo products are being continuously
developed with regard to hardware
and software. The hardware status
and, where applicable, the software
status of the product is given in the
product labelling. If the electronic
documentation, in whatever form, is
not supplied with the product, i.e. is
not supplied on a data storage device
(diskettes, CD ROM, removable disk)
as a delivery unit with the relevant
product, Festo does not guarantee
that the electronic documentation
corresponds to every hardware and
software status of the product. In
this case, the printed documentation
from Festo accompanying the product
alone is decisive for ensuring that the
hardware and software status of the
product matches that of the electronic
documentation.
2. The information contained in this
electronic documentation can be
amended by Festo without prior notice
and does not commit Festo in any way.
IV. Liability/limitations on liability
1. Festo provides this electronic
documentation in order to assist
the user in creating his machine and
system documentation. In the case
that electronic documentation in the
form of data storage devices (diskettes,
CD ROM, removable disk) does not
accompany a product, i.e. is not
automatically supplied together with
that product, Festo does not guarantee
that the electronic documentation
separately available/supplied matches
the product actually used by the user.
The latter applies particularly to
extracts of the documents for the user’s
own documentation. The guarantee
and liability for separately available/
supplied portable data storage devices,
i.e. with the exception of electronic
documentation provided on the
Internet/intranet, are limited exclusively
to proper duplication of the software,
whereby Festo guarantees that in
each case the relevant portable data
storage device or software contains the
latest status of the documentation. In
respect of the electronic documentation
available on the Internet/Intranet, there
is no guarantee that it will have the
same version status as the last printed
edition.
2. Furthermore, Festo cannot be
held liable for the lack of economic
success or for damage or claims by
third parties resulting from the use of
the documentation by the user, with
the exception of claims arising from
infringement of the protection rights of
third parties concerning the use of the
electronic documentation.
3. The limitations on liability as per
paragraphs 1 and 2 do not apply if, in
cases of intent or gross negligence or
lack of warranted quality, a compulsory
liability exists. In such a case, Festo’s
liability is limited to the damage
discernable by Festo when the concrete
circumstances are made known.
V. Safety guidelines/documentation
Warranty and liability claims in
conformity with the aforementioned
regulations (points III. and IV) may be
raised only if the user has observed the
safety guidelines of the documentation
in conjunction with the use of the
machine and its safety guidelines. The
user himself is responsible for ensuring
that the electronic documentation, when
not supplied with the product, matches
the product actually used by the user.
