General terms and conditions of use for technical documentation
Phoenix Contact reserves the right to alter, correct, and/or improve the technical
documentation and the products described in the technical documentation at its own
discretion and without giving prior notice, insofar as this is reasonable for the user. The
same applies to any technical changes that serve the purpose of technical progress.
The receipt of technical documentation (in particular data sheets, installation instructions,
manuals, etc.) does not constitute any further duty on the part of Phoenix Contact to furnish
information on alterations to products and/or technical documentation. Any other
agreement shall only apply if expressly confirmed in writing by Phoenix Contact. Please
note that the supplied documentation is product-specific documentation only and that you
are responsible for checking the suitability and intended use of the products in your specific
application, in particular with regard to observing the applicable standards and regulations.
Although Phoenix Contact makes every effort to ensure that the information content is
accurate, up-to-date, and state-of-the-art, technical inaccuracies and/or printing errors in
the information cannot be ruled out. Phoenix Contact does not offer any guarantees as to
the reliability, accuracy or completeness of the information. All information made available
in the technical data is supplied without any accompanying guarantee, whether expressly
mentioned, implied or tacitly assumed. This information does not include any guarantees
regarding quality, does not describe any fair marketable quality, and does not make any
claims as to quality guarantees or guarantees regarding the suitability for a special purpose.
Phoenix Contact accepts no liability or responsibility for errors or omissions in the content
of the technical documentation (in particular data sheets, installation instructions, manuals,

The aforementioned limitations of liability and exemptions from liability do not apply, in so
far as liability must be assumed, e.g., according to product liability law, in cases of
premeditation, gross negligence, on account of loss of life, physical injury or damage to
health or on account of the violation of important contractual obligations. Claims for
damages for the violation of important contractual obligations are, however, limited to
contract-typical, predictable damages, provided there is no premeditation or gross
negligence, or that liability is assumed on account of loss of life, physical injury or damage
to health. This ruling does not imply a change in the burden of proof to the detriment of the
user.
