In this case, the use of the software is not covered by this contract, but is governed solely by the terms of the respective open source license.
- The License to the LisRT V3 software is transferable to a third party, who then has the status of user within the meaning of this License Agreement.

- The provisions of § 4 of this Usage and License Agreement shall apply accordingly.
§ 6 Sublicensing

§ 7 Further development / developer license
- Further development of the LisRT V3 software requires the written consent of Löhnert Elektronik and the purchase of a developer license.

- Further development of the paid version of the LisRT V3 software as defined in § 5 of this Use and License Agreement is not permitted.
- The user (developer) is permitted to modify the LisRT V3 software and to supplement it for further applications with his own or third-party program parts if he complies with the following conditions (5) to (7).
- The name of the software remains "LisRT V3" with an addition by the user (developer) himself, so that it is still recognizable as LisRT V3 and, on the other hand, changes are apparent.
- The components of LisRT V3 shall be marked with a copyright notice to Löhnert Elektronik GmbH and these license agreements. The user (developer) undertakes to observe all the requirements of the Apache 2.0 License, MIT License, BSD License and the Microsoft Public License and to pass on existing obligations. In particular, the license conditions attached to this software must be passed on.
- Furthermore, the software must contain the automatic query for compliance with the license conditions in accordance with § 3 subs. 1 and thus draw the user's attention to this.
- Löhnert Elektronik shall not assume any warranty or liability for defects or damage resulting from further development of the LisRT V3 software by a user (developer). Reference is made to § 8 subs. 4.
§ 8 Obligations of the user
- The user is obliged to keep the LisRT V3 software in a safe place so that unauthorized access or unauthorized copying is prevented.
- It is the sole responsibility of the user to set up a functioning hardware and software environment for the LisRT V3 software.
- The user assumes all responsibilities and obligations with regard to the selection, installation and use of the LisRT V3 software.
- The user is prohibited from using the LisRT V3 software in areas of particular risk which require fault-free continuous operation of relevant systems and in which failure of the LisRT V3 software could result in immediate danger to life, limb or health or in significant material or environmental damage. Löhnert Elektronik does not warrant or guarantee that the LisRT V3 software is suitable for use in areas of particular risk.
§ 9 Liability
- Regardless of the legal grounds, Löhnert Elektronik, its vicarious agents and its legal representatives shall be liable for damages insofar as such damages are culpably caused by Löhnert Elektronik and result from injury to life, limb or health.
- Löhnert Elektronik, its vicarious agents and legal representatives shall be liable for material defects in the use of the LisRT V3 software for free testing purposes for direct damage caused to the user because a defect in the software was fraudulently concealed from the user and for consequential damage caused by intent or gross negligence on the part of Löhnert Elektronik, its vicarious agents or its legal representatives. Any further liability for material defects in the use of the LisRT V3 software for free test purposes is excluded.
- In the case of use of the LisRT V3 software in the productive environment (§ 5) for which a charge is made, Löhnert Elektronik shall be liable - in addition to liability under § 9 subs. 1 and 2 - for slight negligence only in the event of breach of material obligations. In the event of a slightly negligent breach of an obligation, Löhnert Elektronik shall be liable at most to the extent of the typically foreseeable damage.
- Löhnert Elektronik shall not assume any warranty or liability for defects or damage resulting from a modification of the software by third parties (e.g. further development) or from a use not in accordance with the functions specified in the documentation or from failure to comply with the documentation.
- The input of parameters and limit value data within the LisRT V3 software is not the responsibility of Löhnert Elektronik. Parameters and limit data within the LisRT V3 software are to be defined by the user at his own discretion and under his own responsibility by input.
- Errors shall only be rectified on the basis of a separate support contract for which payment is to be made or - without obligation - by means of updates for as long as Löhnert Elektronik offers the LisRT V3 software.
- Löhnert Elektronik is not aware of any legal defects in the software. In the event of defects of title, Löhnert Elektronik, its vicarious agents and its legal representatives shall only be liable for damages incurred by the user because a defect of title in the software was fraudulently concealed from the user. Any further warranty for defects of title is excluded.
- Löhnert Elektronik, its vicarious agents and its legal representatives shall not be liable for any damage caused by inappropriate, improper or unintended use of the LisRT V3 software.
- Liability under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected by this Usage and License Agreement.
§ 10 Applicable law
The contractual relationship between the parties and all disputes arising from or in connection with this contractual relationship shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply.
§ 11 Place of jurisdiction
Insofar as the user is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law or has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany, or moves his place of residence or habitual abode out of Germany after conclusion of the contract or his place of residence or habitual abode is unknown at the time the action is brought, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from and in connection with the contractual relationship between the parties shall in all such cases be the place of business of Löhnert Elektronik.
§ 12 Dispute resolution
Löhnert Elektronik declares that it is not prepared to participate in consumer arbitration proceedings in accordance with the Consumer Dispute Resolution Act, as the use of the LisRT V3 software by consumers is prohibited.
§ 13 Severability clause
Should one or more provisions of this Usage and License Agreement be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
