General conditions  
for the use and licensing  
of software


I. General guidelines for use/Warranty

1. Customers receive SEW-EURODRIVE software free of charge and as 
a special service. The enclosed software has been generated and 
tested thoroughly at SEW-EURODRIVE. However, based on the 
complexity of the software and our product offers, it is nearly 
impossible to develop software solutions that run without any 
errors in all applications and are absolutely complete. Please 
note that the information contained in technical data, 
descriptions, figures and drawings, dimension and weight information 
is subject to change even if it refers to DIN and/or other 
standards. The same holds true for prices. However, any information 
is binding only if the data has been confirmed by SEW-EURODRIVE for 
any particular piece of information. Otherwise, there can be no 
warranty extended that the data is complete, correct and up to date. 
This information describes the nature of our products but does not 
represent any promised properties.

2. There may be no alteration, reverse engineering, further 
development or translation of the software except where legally 
permitted. 

II. Liability

1. SEW-EURODRIVE is liable for any damages resulting from the installation or 
operation of this software only in case these damages were incurred by gross 
negligence or intention of SEW-EURODRIVE, its legal representatives or its 
agents. In addition, SEW-EURODRIVE is liable for any culpable damages to life, 
body or health caused by the company, its legal representatives or its agents 
during installation or operation. 


2. SEW-EURODRIVE explicitly is not liable for any problems arising 
from entering the wrong data based on 

	- misunderstood prompts

	- incorrect input data

	- incorrect or imprecise default values.

Only qualified personnel can enter the corresponding data as well 
as the correct result from several proposed solutions. The software 
will make certain recommendations but will not make the decision 
for you! Feel free to contact a specialist at SEW-EURODRIVE in 
case you have any questions. 

3. SEW-EURODRIVE is not liable for the lack of economic success, 
lost profits, indirect damages, indirect losses due to defects 
and claims by third parties except claims based on the 
violation of third party industrial property rights. 

III. Other

Any legal matters of the parties involved are subject to the laws of the Federal 
Republic of Germany with the exception of the United Nation law covering the 
international sale of goods (CISG). The place of jurisdiction is Bruchsal.
