End User License Agreement (EULA)
for the software "TIA Openness Manager"
Version 1.0 of the EULA
License Agreement
1. Preamble
This software connects engineering data and user inputs with an external Large Language Model (LLM). The software itself does not generate engineering data, but serves exclusively as an intermediary and integration tool. Use in industrial environments is potentially risky and requires expert handling.
By installing, activating, or using the software, the user fully accepts this agreement.
2. License Scope
The provider grants the licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, time-limited license to use the software on a single hardware instance (HW-ID).
The licensee receives no ownership of the software, only a right of use.
3. Restrictions
The licensee may not:
- Decompile, reverse engineer, or modify the software
- Transfer the license to other devices (except as per license model)
- Resell or rent the software without written consent
- Bypass security mechanisms, licenses, or activations
- Use the software in safety-critical applications where malfunctions could endanger life, health, or significant assets
4. Use in Engineering Environments
The licensee expressly acknowledges:
- The software does not perform technical validation of content generated by the connected LLM.
- All generated content must be completely, professionally, and manually reviewed by qualified personnel.
- The software may not perform automated write operations on productive control projects.
- The user bears sole responsibility for the interpretation, application, and integration of all content mediated by the software.
5. Liability for External LLM Content
The software merely provides the connection to an external LLM. The provider has no influence on:
- Quality, accuracy, or completeness of LLM outputs
- Possible misinterpretations
- Hallucinations or erroneous code suggestions
- Functional unsuitability of generated content
Any liability of the provider for damages arising from the use or expectation of use of content generated by an LLM is excluded.

- Maximum up to the amount of the license fee paid by the licensee
- No liability for indirect damages
- No liability for production downtime
- No liability for data loss
- No liability for lost profits
- No liability for consequential damages arising from engineering errors
- No liability for damages resulting from improper or negligent use
This limitation applies even in the case of foreseeable damages.
7. User Qualification
Use of the software is permitted only to persons who:
- Have sound knowledge of PLC programming
- Are trained TIA Portal users
- Can professionally assess engineering changes
- Can assess risks when dealing with automatically generated suggestions
By using the software, the user confirms meeting these qualifications.
8. Technical Safety Mechanisms
The software implements technical safeguards, including:
- Manual confirmation before adopting any external content
- No automatic writing to productive projects
- Warnings with every LLM-generated output
- Audit logs documenting user actions
The user may not disable or bypass these protective mechanisms.
9. Updates & Changes
The provider may provide updates but is not obligated to provide support, further development, or functional guarantees.
10. Data Protection
The software may forward local engineering data to an external LLM for processing. The user is solely responsible for compliance with internal security and confidentiality guidelines as well as applicable data protection regulations.
