General Conditions for the Provision of Software for Automation and Drive Technology
1. Supply of Software and Granting of Rights to Use Software
1.1 Definitions
"Order Data" are the concurring details of the Parties as to the identification of the Software
including the article number of Siemens as well as the corresponding order information
belonging to the article number from the current catalog of Siemens at the time of the order
confirmation. Insofar as the Customer receives no order confirmation from Siemens, the
details of the article number of the CoL which Siemens provides to the Customer with the
acceptance of its order shall apply.
"CoL" means the Certificate of License containing details of the nature of the rights of use
acquired for the Software. The CoL is to accompany the Software or the delivery note.
"Engineering Software" is software for engineering, such as project planning, programming,
parameter setting, testing or commissioning.
"Earlier Version" is an earlier release of the Software; normally such as is recognizable from
the change in the version number.
"Instance" means either an instance in a physical operating system environment or an
instance in a virtual operating system environment.
"Open Source Software" includes Open Source Software or similar software of third parties.
"Runtime Software" is software for plants and machine operation, e.g. operating systems,
basic systems, system expansions or drivers.
"Service Pack" is an issue of software in which defects are corrected but which generally
does not involve any change in functionality.
"Property Right" is defined in section 8.1.
"Software" is the software product which the customer acquires from Siemens under this
Agreement including the related documentation.
1.2 Scope of these General Conditions
These General Conditions shall apply exclusively to the provision of Software for Automation
and Drives by Siemens to the Customer. General terms and conditions of the Customer shall
apply only where such are expressly accepted in writing by Siemens.
1.3 Subject Matter
Siemens shall provide the Customer the Software specified in the Order Data and it shall
grant the Customer the rights to this Software based on the License Type (see Section 2)
and the applicable Software Type (see Section 3). The License Type and Software Type are
detailed in the Order Data or, additionally, in the CoL. If, on the basis of the Order Data or
the CoL the Customer receives only the Software but Siemens grants no license to use, the
Customer shall be entitled to use the Software only if it acquires license rights of use in
accordance with Section 2 and, insofar as a License Key is necessary, also obtains a
License Key. If the Software is supplied electronically or, if copying rights are granted for it,
the rights and duties set out under these General Conditions shall apply to the copies
generated by the Customer with the approval of Siemens.
