11. SECURITY DISCLAIMER

In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art security concept. The Licensed Software only forms one element of such a concept. You are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to your plants, systems, machines and networks which should only be connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place.
SIEMENS’s License Software undergoes continuous development to make it more secure. SIEMENS strongly recommends that updates are applied as soon as they are available and that the latest versions are used. Use of versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase your exposure to cyber threats. SIEMENS strongly recommends complying with security advisories on the latest security threats, patches and other related measures.

12. EXPORT CONTROL

The Software, including technical data/cryptographic software, may be subject to Swiss, German, European Union and U.S. export controls and may be subject to import or export controls in other countries. You agree to strictly comply with all applicable import and export regulations when distributing or using the Software. SIEMENS shall not be obligated to fulfill this agreement if such fulfillment is prevented by any impediments arising out of Swiss national, European Community or US Re-export international foreign trade or customs requirements or any embargoes or other sanctions.

13. FOR U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS

The Software was developed at private expense and is a “commercial item” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212.
