Security information

Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.

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 industrial security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.

Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems, machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components 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. 

For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please visit https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity.

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

General License Conditions for Software Products for Automation and Drives 
(Status: January 31, 2019)

1. Supply of Software and Granting of Rights to Use Software
1.1 Definitions
"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. 
"Cyberthreat" means any circumstance or event with the potential to adversely impact the Customer’s plants, systems, machines and networks via unauthorized access, destruction, disclosure and/or modification of information, denial of service attacks or comparable scenarios.
"Earlier Version" is an earlier release of the Software; normally such is recognizable from the change in the version number.
"Engineering Software" is software for engineering, such as, for example, project planning, programming, parameter setting, testing or commissioning. 
"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.
"Order Data" is data identifying the Software including the item number of Siemens as well as the corresponding order information belonging to the item number from the current catalogue of Siemens at the time of the order confirmation. Insofar as the Customer receives no order confirmation from Siemens, the data associated with the item number of the CoL which Siemens provides to the Customer with the acceptance of its order shall apply.
"Runtime Software" is software for plants and machine operation, e.g. operating systems, basic systems, system extensions or drivers. 
"Service Pack" is a release of the Software in which defects and/or Vulnerabilities are eliminated, but which generally does not involve any change in functionality. The term "Service Pack" as used in these General Conditions shall include also single bug fixes and/or vulnerability patches which are not a release of the Software. The latter are usually referred to as "Update". 
"Software" is the software product which the Customer acquires from Siemens under this contract including the related documentation.
"Vulnerability" means a security vulnerability of a Software that could be exploited to permit unauthorized access, use, or modification to such Software or computing environment.
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 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 Software, 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 created by the Customer with the approval of Siemens.
1.4 Scope of Delivery
Siemens shall deliver the Software as well as the respective CoL to the Customer, according to the Order Data, either on a data medium or via download. 
Siemens shall enclose the documentation related to the Software, at its discretion, either in electronic form with the Software itself or, in electronic form available for download free of charge. Insofar as it is evident from the Order Data that the documentation is not included in the scope of delivery, the documentation shall be purchased separately; in such case the Customer shall not have any right to generate copies but shall purchase the required number of documentation copies.
Siemens shall deliver a License Key to the Customer if the Software requires a License Key for technical activation purposes. 
If the Parties agree that the Customer is to acquire only the Software but not the rights of use for the Software for the time being, the License Key and the CoL shall not be included in the scope of delivery. If the Customer acquires the rights of use limited to validation purposes, a CoL may be included in the scope of delivery.
1.5 Included Third-party Software Components
Insofar as Open Source Software is included in the Software, such Open Source Software is listed in the Readme_OSS file of the Software. The Customer is entitled to use the Open Source Software in accordance with the respective applicable license conditions of the Open Source Software. These OSS license conditions are included with the Software and shall prevail over these General Conditions. The Open Source Software license conditions shall have priority also in relation to the proprietary Siemens components insofar as the Open Source Software license conditions grant the Customer certain rights of use on the basis of the connection of OSS components with proprietary Siemens components.
Siemens shall make available to the Customer, at the request of the Customer, the Open Source Software source code in return for payment of a fee to compensate for expenses insofar as the license conditions of the Open Source Software require such release of the source code. The Software may, in addition to Open Source Software, contain other licensed software, i.e. software which was not developed by Siemens itself, but which Siemens has obtained from third parties, e.g. Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd, under a license. If the Customer shall receive in such case the conditions of the respective licensor of the licensed software in the Readme_OSS file, these shall apply to the liability of the licensor in relation to the Customer. In terms of the liability of Siemens to the Customer, the General Conditions shall apply in each case.
1.6 Nature of the Software, Systems Environment
The nature of the Software shall be based exclusively on the Order Data/the order confirmation along with the Software documentation available at the time of the concluding of the contract. The Customer shall make available the system environment in accordance with the requirements in the Order Data/order confirmation or the CoL and the related documentation.
