of use
The file of your choice is subject
to safeguarding provisions. Festo
or third parties have protection
rights for this electronic docu-
mentation. In as far as these
rights extend to third parties,
Festo has appropriate rights of
use. Festo permits the user the
use under the following condi-
tions:
1. Scope of use
a) The user of the electronic docu-
mentation is allowed to use this
documentation for his own, ex-
clusively company-internal pur-
poses on any number of machines
within his business premises
(location). This right of use in-
cludes exclusively the right to
save the electronic documenta-
tion 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 condi-
tions of use and other user in-
structions.
c) With the exception of the Festo
Logo, the user has the right to use
pictures and texts from the elec-
tronic documentation for creating
his own machine and system
documentation. The use of the
Festo logo requires written con-
sent from Festo. The user himself
is responsible for ensuring that
the pictures and texts used match
the machine/system or the rel-
evant product.
d) Further uses are permitted
within the following framework:
Copying exclusively for use within
the framework of machine and
system documentation from elec-
tronic documents of all docum-
ented supplier components.
Demonstrating to third parties ex-
clusively under guarantee that no
data material is stored wholly or
partly in other networks or other
data storage devices or can be re-
produced there.
Passing on printouts to third
parties not covered by the regula-
tion in item 3, as well as any
processing or other use, is not
permitted.

3. Transferring the authorization

The third party must be made ex-
plicitly aware of these conditions
of use.
II. Exporting the electronic

When exporting the electronic
documentation, the licence
holder must observe the export
regulations of the exporting

III. Guarantee
1. Festo products are being
further developed with regard to
hardware and software. The hard-
ware status and, where appli-
cable, the software status of the
product can be found on the type
plate of the product. In the case
of data storage devices which do
not accompany a product, i.e.
which are not supplied together
with that 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
is alone 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 of liability
1. Festo provides this electronic
documentation in order to assist
the user in creating his machine
and system documentation. In the
case of data storage devices
which do not accompany a
product, i.e. which are not sup-
plied together with that product,
Festo does not guarantee that the
electronic documentation sup-
plied separately 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 separ-
ately supplied data storage de-
vices is limited exclusively to
proper duplication of the soft-
ware, whereby Festo guarantees
that in each case the data storage
device or software contains the
latest status of the documenta-
tion.
2. Furthermore, Festo cannot be
held liable for the lack of econ-
omic success or for damage or
claims by third parties resulting
from the use of the documenta-
tion by the user, with the excep-
tion of claims arising from in-
fringement of the protection
rights of third parties concerning
the use of the electronic docu-
mentation.
3. The limitations of liability as
per paragraphs 1 and 2 do not
apply if, in cases of intent or wan-
ton negligence or the lack of war-
ranted quality, liability is abso-
lutely necessary. In such a case,
Festo's liability is limited to the
damage recognizable by Festo
when the concrete circumstances
are made known.
VI. Safety guidelines/
documentation
Guarantee and liability claims in
conformity with the regulations
mentioned above (items III. and
IV) can only be made if the user
has observed the safety guide-
lines of the documentation in con-
junction with the use of the ma-
chine and its safety guidelines.
The user himself is responsible for
ensuring that the electronic docu-
mentation, which is not supplied
with the product, matches the
product actually used by the user.
