• Multiple selection of the displayed graphs and digital channels is possible. 
• When “display values” is activated, all values assigned at this time in the view are displayed when the mouse pointer is moved 
• Date format can be defined user-dependent 
• Configuration of the time ranges to be displayed is possible (e.g. 24 hour steps) 
• CSV export is now configurable 
• It is possible to save the evaluation in image formats (Png, Jpg, Bmp).
• Screenshot by hotkey: Hotkeys are used to put screenshots of the evaluation into the clipboard 
• Display of all shortcuts within the application 
• There is a panoramic view of the entire test run, therefore an overview of the entire test run is also available in zoomed areas. 
• Improved display of the digital channels
• Mouse controlled zooming in X, X/Y and Y direction 
• Extensive measuring functions integrated to the graphs 
• Customizable coloring of all scales, digital channels, graphs etc.

List of bugs fixed/corrected with this version

• The installed version is not displayed correctly in System Configuration 
• Incorrect installation if the path contains blanks 
• If Simpati is started without reading in attachments, an error message with misleading text is displayed 
• If the name of an init file contains capital letters, these attachments are not recognized as such 
• Problems when reading an installation if the installation path contains spaces (SimSetup3k) 
• loading of Simpati takes a long time when cabinet is removed from network 
• SimMailer can be configured/executed without the appropriate Authorization. 
• User Management: List of invalid passwords in User Management cannot be extended. The passwords in the list could still be used the next time the password was changed 
• SimDeviceDiscovery shows wrong IP address 
• SimEdit: In the tabular editor, the extended graphical preview of loops is displayed incorrectly. 
• SimReport: The chamber menu in the left sidebar of the report menu does not allow to select the entries to be displayed. Works after clicking on Refresh 

Known Issues and Limitations

• Translations have been improved, but more work is in progress.
• Day/night programs created in WebSeason are not supported by Simpati and therefore cannot be transferred from the system to Simpati. 
• Main menu title is not Unicode capable: If you enter Chinese characters in the title, they will be displayed. But if you close Simpati afterwards and restart it, the characters become question marks ("?") 
• Missing umlauts in pdf/a export: When exporting from the report, the umlauts "disappear" from the text. This can lead to misunderstandings (e.g. with umlauts in names or similar). 
• Program transfer: In the message window for the confirmation of the program transfer the program name is missing 
• Missing report entry when manually locking/unlocking an installation: If an installation is locked or unlocked by right-clicking on the corresponding chamber, this does not create a report entry. 
• Wait State of the installation is not displayed as "P" . 
• SimViewer display of the month: SimViewer currently displays months always with 30 days. 
• Missing simpati.sys- file leads to a Simconfig error when starting Simpati: If the configuration of Simpati was aborted during the Simpati Standard Installation (=Registration not completed) Simpati will still be installed, but the file: simpati.sys cannot be created. This leads to a message when starting Simpati, if the Simpati installation should be finished? If you click on "YES", an error message will be displayed when Simconfig is started.
• Remedy: Start SimConfig from the Windows start directory 
• The button "Delete user" can also be selected for the system user "Admin". Although this user cannot be deleted, a query will still appear asking whether the user should be deleted and, if confirmed, a corresponding -incorrect- report entry will be made. The user will not be deleted under any circumstances. 
• If the symbolic editor is open when closing Simpati, it will not be closed automatically. The symbolic editor will only be closed after correct login data has been entered in the login window.

License terms

1. Scope of application
The companies named above (hereinafter referred to as “WEISS”) supply computer programs in electronic form such as Simpati and PLC control and visualisation programs (hereinafter Software) to customers (licensees).

The terms and conditions indicated in the following apply exclusively to the granting of usage rights to Software by WEISS. Other general business terms and conditions of the customer shall not apply, unless expressly approved by WEISS (in writing as a minimum requirement).

2. Deliveries and services of WEISS
The scope of delivery is specified in detail by the current product description including additional information in the application documentation. WEISS supplies the Software in the version that is valid at the time of supply or provision. The scope of delivery does not include installation, instruction or training services. The Software is supplied on a data storage device or can be downloaded from a WEISS website at WEISS’ discretion. The customer receives rights to the object code of the Software exclusively. It shall not have the right to use or transfer the source code.

Services relating to the support and maintenance of the Software shall be provided by WEISS exclusively on the basis of a separate written agreement.

3. Granting of usage rights
WEISS grants the customer - subject to a divergent individual, written contractual agreement - and subject to the condition precedent of complete and timely payment of the agreed remuneration, the non-exclusive, permanent, irrevocable and irredeemable right to use the software, i.e. in particular to store or load it permanently or temporarily, display or execute it.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the usage rights shall be granted exclusively for the country in which the customer has its headquarters. If the customer's headquarters are within the European Union, usage rights shall apply across the EU. The customer may use the software only for the contractually stipulated purpose. Commercial sub-leasing is prohibited. Duplication of the software is permitted only to the extent necessary for use as contractually agreed. The customer may produce backup copies of the software in accordance with its codes of practice to the extent necessary. Backup copies on mobile data storage devices must be identified as such with the copyright notice of the original data storage device applied.

Should the customer transfer its usage rights to a third party, it must impose on this party its duties and obligations from these terms and conditions with respect to the content and scope of the usage rights. Transferring to a third party shall remove the customer’s entitlement to use the Software. It must delete any copies it holds of the Software, provided such are not copies produced for backing up in accordance with the terms and conditions.

The customer undertakes not to convert the software to an alternative code form or to make any changes, extensions or otherwise edit the software, except as permissible in accordance with statutory provisions.

Where WEISS provides to the customer extensions to (e.g. patches, extensions to user manual) or new editions of the software (e.g. updates, upgrades) replacing software provided previously (“outdated software”), such are subject to these terms and conditions. Where WEISS provides a new edition of the software, the entitlement of the customer to use the outdated software shall cease, including without the explicit request by WEISS to return the software, once it begins using the new edition in a productive capacity. WEISS, however, shall grant the customer a three-month transition phase in which it may continue using both versions side-by-side. Duplication or alteration of the application documentation is not permissible, subject to the above provisions.

In the case of software products of third party manufacturers sold by WEISS or third party software components implemented by WEISS, the terms and conditions of use of the respective third party manufacturer shall apply to these software packages/components in the first instance.

4. Duty of cooperation of the customer
The customer shall take reasonable precautions to safeguard against software supplied by WEISS failing to operate properly, either partially or entirely. It shall be required to test the Software thoroughly to ensure the absence of defects, its usability for the purpose it intends and in the hardware and software environment provided by it, before putting into operational use. This also applies to software that it receives from WEISS in connection with the provision of maintenance or based on warranty. The customer shall be solely responsible for ensuring the presence or establishment of a serviceable, adequately dimensioned hardware and software environment.

Furthermore, it shall ensure that its data is backed up using the latest systems. It shall ensure that any up-to-date data stored in machine-readable format is reproducible with reasonable effort. The customer shall maintain an IT security concept using the latest available systems, to consist of technical and organisational measures. This shall include in particular appropriate measures to prevent unauthorised third party access to the Software.

The customer must immediately report to WEISS any defects detected. Notifications of defects must include information on the nature of the fault, in the case of software the module in which the fault occurred, and the operations undertaken when the fault occurred. A prerequisite for supplementary performance in accordance with Section 5 is the reproducibility or detectability of the reported defect.

5. Material defects and defects of title
WEISS provides the customer with deliveries and services free of material defects and defects of title. The customer is aware that minor software bugs that do not restrict the usability of the software or which limit its use only to a negligible degree cannot be fully eliminated in software products. Bugs of this nature do not constitute software defects in terms of the warranty. In the case of software, moreover, functional impairments resulting from the hardware and software environment provided by the customer, incorrect operation, defective external data, malfunctions of computer networks or other causes originating from the area of risk of the customer are not considered defects.

WEISS shall not be responsible for software modified unlawfully by the customer, unless the customer can prove that the modification is not the cause of the reported fault. If products or services provided by WEISS are faulty and a corresponding complaint has been made in writing and in good time by the customer, WEISS shall provide replacements or rectify any issues at its discretion. WEISS is to be given the chance to do so within a reasonable time frame of at least 14 working days. In the case of software, rectification in particular may take the course of providing a new program version, or WEISS indicating reasonable methods to circumvent the effects of the fault. The customer must accept the provision of a new program version including if associated with acceptable outlay for adaptation.

Rectification in the case of defects of title occurs by WEISS providing the customer with the means to use the software legally. WEISS in this regard may replace the software product for one of equal value and which complies with contractual provisions, if acceptable to the customer. Should third parties claim against the customer on the basis of property rights, the customer must notify WEISS of this in writing immediately. WEISS shall at its discretion and in consultation with the customer defend against or settle such claims. The customer must not acknowledge third party claims or settle these amicably. WEISS shall defend against third party claims at its own expense and shall indemnify the customer against all necessary costs and losses associated with defending against such action, provided such is not due to conduct on the part of the customer in breach of the terms and conditions. If attempts at rectification fail, the customer shall be allowed to reduce the fee payable or withdraw from the contract. Withdrawal, however, is permissible only if the customer previously and explicitly threatens WEISS with this in writing with a suitable further deadline.

6. Compensation for damages
Unless otherwise stated in the following regulations, WEISS shall be liable in accordance with statutory provisions in the case of the breach of contractual and non-contractual obligations. WEISS shall be liable for compensation for damages - irrespective of the legal basis - in the context of fault liability in cases of intent and gross negligence. In the case of simple negligence, WEISS shall be liable in accordance with statutory provisions subject to a more moderate standard of liability (e.g. for diligence in own affairs) only

a) for losses resulting from loss of life, physical injury or damage to health,

b) for losses resulting from a significant breach of a material contractual obligation (an obligation the fulfilment of which is essential to the proper execution of the contract and which the contractual partner regularly expects and should expect to be complied with); in such cases, however, liability shall be limited to the compensation of predictable, typically occurring losses.

The liability limitations indicated above shall also apply to breaches of duty by or benefiting persons whose culpability WEISS is responsible for in accordance with statutory provisions. The limitations shall not apply if WEISS fraudulently conceals a defect or has assumed a quality guarantee, or to claims of the customer under the Product Liability Act [Produkthaftungsgesetz]. Statements on the properties of the Software are to be viewed as descriptive of performance and do not constitute a quality or durability guarantee as defined by Art. 443 of the German Civil Code [BGB - Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch].

In the case of data loss, WEISS shall be liable only for losses that would still have occurred had the customer properly backed up data (Section 4).

7. Liability of customer and extraordinary termination
The customer shall be liable to WEISS for all losses incurred by WEISS from the violation of copyright provisions in Section 3.

WEISS shall be entitled to revoke the usage rights granted to the customer if the customer repeatedly exceeds the usage rights granted under Section 3 despite a warning from WEISS or fails to take suitable IT security precautions using the latest systems as defined by Section 4. In this case, the customer shall be obligated to immediately cease use of the original software along with any copies and to destroy these. The customer must send a written confirmation of destruction to the address specified below.

8. Place of jurisdiction and choice of law
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) applies to all legal relationships between WEISS and the customer based on these terms and conditions.

The parties are aware that the software may be subject to export and import restrictions. In particular, authorisation requirements may exist or usage of the software or associated technologies may be subject to restrictions outside of Germany. The customer is required to adhere to applicable export and import control provisions of the Federal Republic of Germany, the European Union and the USA, and all other relevant regulations. Fulfilment of the contract by the Licensor is subject to the proviso that fulfilment is not impeded by national and international regulations of export and import law or by any other legal provisions.

If the customer is a merchant, public-law special fund or a legal entity under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all claims resulting from the aforementioned legal relationships shall be the registered office of WEISS; where legal action is taken by WEISS, the general place of jurisdiction of the customer shall also apply.

Services relating to the support and maintenance of the Software shall be provided by WEISS exclusively on the basis of a separate written agreement.

3. Granting of usage rights
WEISS grants the customer - subject to a divergent individual, written contractual agreement - and subject to the condition precedent of complete and timely payment of the agreed remuneration, the non-exclusive, permanent, irrevocable and irredeemable right to use the software, i.e. in particular to store or load it permanently or temporarily, display or execute it.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the usage rights shall be granted exclusively for the country in which the customer has its headquarters. If the customer's headquarters are within the European Union, usage rights shall apply across the EU. The customer may use the software only for the contractually stipulated purpose. Commercial sub-leasing is prohibited. Duplication of the software is permitted only to the extent necessary for use as contractually agreed. The customer may produce backup copies of the software in accordance with its codes of practice to the extent necessary. Backup copies on mobile data storage devices must be identified as such with the copyright notice of the original data storage device applied.

Should the customer transfer its usage rights to a third party, it must impose on this party its duties and obligations from these terms and conditions with respect to the content and scope of the usage rights. Transferring to a third party shall remove the customer’s entitlement to use the Software. It must delete any copies it holds of the Software, provided such are not copies produced for backing up in accordance with the terms and conditions.

The customer undertakes not to convert the software to an alternative code form or to make any changes, extensions or otherwise edit the software, except as permissible in accordance with statutory provisions.

Where WEISS provides to the customer extensions to (e.g. patches, extensions to user manual) or new editions of the software (e.g. updates, upgrades) replacing software provided previously (“outdated software”), such are subject to these terms and conditions. Where WEISS provides a new edition of the software, the entitlement of the customer to use the outdated software shall cease, including without the explicit request by WEISS to return the software, once it begins using the new edition in a productive capacity. WEISS, however, shall grant the customer a three-month transition phase in which it may continue using both versions side-by-side. Duplication or alteration of the application documentation is not permissible, subject to the above provisions.

In the case of software products of third party manufacturers sold by WEISS or third party software components implemented by WEISS, the terms and conditions of use of the respective third party manufacturer shall apply to these software packages/components in the first instance.

4. Duty of cooperation of the customer
The customer shall take reasonable precautions to safeguard against software supplied by WEISS failing to operate properly, either partially or entirely. It shall be required to test the Software thoroughly to ensure the absence of defects, its usability for the purpose it intends and in the hardware and software environment provided by it, before putting into operational use. This also applies to software that it receives from WEISS in connection with the provision of maintenance or based on warranty. The customer shall be solely responsible for ensuring the presence or establishment of a serviceable, adequately dimensioned hardware and software environment.

Furthermore, it shall ensure that its data is backed up using the latest systems. It shall ensure that any up-to-date data stored in machine-readable format is reproducible with reasonable effort. The customer shall maintain an IT security concept using the latest available systems, to consist of technical and organisational measures. This shall include in particular appropriate measures to prevent unauthorised third party access to the Software.

The customer must immediately report to WEISS any defects detected. Notifications of defects must include information on the nature of the fault, in the case of software the module in which the fault occurred, and the operations undertaken when the fault occurred. A prerequisite for supplementary performance in accordance with Section 5 is the reproducibility or detectability of the reported defect.

5. Material defects and defects of title
WEISS provides the customer with deliveries and services free of material defects and defects of title. The customer is aware that minor software bugs that do not restrict the usability of the software or which limit its use only to a negligible degree cannot be fully eliminated in software products. Bugs of this nature do not constitute software defects in terms of the warranty. In the case of software, moreover, functional impairments resulting from the hardware and software environment provided by the customer, incorrect operation, defective external data, malfunctions of computer networks or other causes originating from the area of risk of the customer are not considered defects.

WEISS shall not be responsible for software modified unlawfully by the customer, unless the customer can prove that the modification is not the cause of the reported fault. If products or services provided by WEISS are faulty and a corresponding complaint has been made in writing and in good time by the customer, WEISS shall provide replacements or rectify any issues at its discretion. WEISS is to be given the chance to do so within a reasonable time frame of at least 14 working days. In the case of software, rectification in particular may take the course of providing a new program version, or WEISS indicating reasonable methods to circumvent the effects of the fault. The customer must accept the provision of a new program version including if associated with acceptable outlay for adaptation.

Rectification in the case of defects of title occurs by WEISS providing the customer with the means to use the software legally. WEISS in this regard may replace the software product for one of equal value and which complies with contractual provisions, if acceptable to the customer. Should third parties claim against the customer on the basis of property rights, the customer must notify WEISS of this in writing immediately. WEISS shall at its discretion and in consultation with the customer defend against or settle such claims. The customer must not acknowledge third party claims or settle these amicably. WEISS shall defend against third party claims at its own expense and shall indemnify the customer against all necessary costs and losses associated with defending against such action, provided such is not due to conduct on the part of the customer in breach of the terms and conditions. If attempts at rectification fail, the customer shall be allowed to reduce the fee payable or withdraw from the contract. Withdrawal, however, is permissible only if the customer previously and explicitly threatens WEISS with this in writing with a suitable further deadline.

6. Compensation for damages
Unless otherwise stated in the following regulations, WEISS shall be liable in accordance with statutory provisions in the case of the breach of contractual and non-contractual obligations. WEISS shall be liable for compensation for damages - irrespective of the legal basis - in the context of fault liability in cases of intent and gross negligence. In the case of simple negligence, WEISS shall be liable in accordance with statutory provisions subject to a more moderate standard of liability (e.g. for diligence in own affairs) only

a) for losses resulting from loss of life, physical injury or damage to health,

b) for losses resulting from a significant breach of a material contractual obligation (an obligation the fulfilment of which is essential to the proper execution of the contract and which the contractual partner regularly expects and should expect to be complied with); in such cases, however, liability shall be limited to the compensation of predictable, typically occurring losses.

The liability limitations indicated above shall also apply to breaches of duty by or benefiting persons whose culpability WEISS is responsible for in accordance with statutory provisions. The limitations shall not apply if WEISS fraudulently conceals a defect or has assumed a quality guarantee, or to claims of the customer under the Product Liability Act [Produkthaftungsgesetz]. Statements on the properties of the Software are to be viewed as descriptive of performance and do not constitute a quality or durability guarantee as defined by Art. 443 of the German Civil Code [BGB - Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch].

In the case of data loss, WEISS shall be liable only for losses that would still have occurred had the customer properly backed up data (Section 4).

7. Liability of customer and extraordinary termination
The customer shall be liable to WEISS for all losses incurred by WEISS from the violation of copyright provisions in Section 3.

WEISS shall be entitled to revoke the usage rights granted to the customer if the customer repeatedly exceeds the usage rights granted under Section 3 despite a warning from WEISS or fails to take suitable IT security precautions using the latest systems as defined by Section 4. In this case, the customer shall be obligated to immediately cease use of the original software along with any copies and to destroy these. The customer must send a written confirmation of destruction to the address specified below.

8. Place of jurisdiction and choice of law
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) applies to all legal relationships between WEISS and the customer based on these terms and conditions.

The parties are aware that the software may be subject to export and import restrictions. In particular, authorisation requirements may exist or usage of the software or associated technologies may be subject to restrictions outside of Germany. The customer is required to adhere to applicable export and import control provisions of the Federal Republic of Germany, the European Union and the USA, and all other relevant regulations. Fulfilment of the contract by the Licensor is subject to the proviso that fulfilment is not impeded by national and international regulations of export and import law or by any other legal provisions.

If the customer is a merchant, public-law special fund or a legal entity under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all claims resulting from the aforementioned legal relationships shall be the registered office of WEISS; where legal action is taken by WEISS, the general place of jurisdiction of the customer shall also apply.

Release Notes

Simpati_4_70_Weiss IoT Gateway 1.0.0
Release Notes

Diese Release Notes beschreiben den Inhalt und den Zweck des IoT-Gateways Simpati_4_70_Weiss, welches nachfolgend Weiss IoT-Gateway genannt wird.

Dies ist die erste stabile Version, die für die Produktion freigegeben wurde.

Systemanforderungen für die Installation des Weiss IoT Gateway Software:
Ein installiertes und lauffähiges Simpati 4.70 ist erforderlich.

Erstellt für .NET Core 3.1 LTS. Das Framework ist auch im Deployment-Paket enthalten.

Hardware:
Sie finden sie in den Bedienungsanleitungen Simpati_4_70_Weiss IoT Gateway und Simpati 4.70, sowie im Downloadbereich für unsere Software unter:

www.weiss-technik.com/software

Kompatible Produkte
Das Weiss IoT Gateway sammelt Daten von Simpati unter Verwendung des SimServ-Protokolls. Kompatibel zu simserv.exe von Simpati 4.70.

Nur die Controller-Typen CONTROLLER_C2K (33333) und CONTROLLER_C3K (44444) werden unterstützt. Kammern anderer Controller werden ignoriert. Es wird eine Warnmeldung protokolliert.

Weiss IoT Gateway
Die Software wird als Windows-Dienst geliefert, der eine ASP.NET Core-Webanwendung startet. Sie enthält eine browserbasierte Anwendung, die ein Dashboard und Werkzeuge für die Überwachung sowie Diagnose bereitstellt.

Die Browser-basierte App bietet eine Möglichkeit, sich bei Simpati Online anzumelden und die Anwendung zu registrieren. Nach der Registrierung veröffentlicht die Anwendung in regelmäßigen Abständen Daten an den Azure IoT Hub. Die veröffentlichten Daten umfassen: Simpati-Metadaten, Kammer-Metadaten, Kammerprofile, Kammermodus und -zustand, Kammerfehler und andere Benachrichtigungen, Kammertelemetrie (Profilwerte und -grenzen).

Das Weiss IoT-Gateway prüft jede Sekunde auf Fehler, Benachrichtigungen oder Modus- und Zustandsänderungen und veröffentlicht die Änderung, wenn sie entdeckt wird. Dies umfasst sowohl das Kommen als auch das Gehen von Fehlern. Die Software plant die Veröffentlichung von Telemetriedaten in einem Intervall, das aus der Einstellung "Archivierungsrate" im Dialog "Kammerkonfiguration" in Simpati übernommen wird.
Alle 5 Sekunden wird geprüft, ob sich diese Einstellung geändert hat.
Der Verbindungs- und Unterbrechungszustand und die Metadaten werden veröffentlicht, sobald eine Änderung ihres Wertes festgestellt wird.
Wenn die Verbindung zum IoT-Hub unterbrochen wird, werden die Nachrichten im Speicher in eine Warteschlange gestellt. Die Warteschlange wird periodisch auf der Festplatte gespeichert. Diese Warteschlange wird mit einer Prüfsumme gegen Manipulation signiert.
Wenn die Verbindung erhalten bleibt und als stabil angesehen wird, werden die Nachrichten in der Warteschlange zuerst gesendet, bevor neue Nachrichten verarbeitet werden.
Das Weiss IoT-Gateway veröffentlicht keine kammerbezogenen Daten, solange die Kammer offline ist. Dies gilt für alle Kammern während Simpati offline ist.

Die Kammern werden durch ihre interne Seriennummer identifiziert. Wenn eine Kammer oder ein Controller keine Seriennummer oder eine ungültige Seriennummer überträgt, dann generiert und verwendet das Weiss IoT Gateway eine Fallback-Seriennummer.
Das Weiss IoT-Gateway wird durch eine Simpati-Seriennummer und eine eindeutige ID identifiziert. Die eindeutige ID wird pro installierter Instanz des Weiss IoT-Gateways generiert.

Fehler, die sich auf die Anwendung selbst beziehen (z. B. Kommunikation, Registrierung usw.), werden auf dem Dashboard in der Webanwendung angezeigt und nach deren Behebung aus dem Dashboard entfernt.

Diese Software unterstützt verschiedene Ebenen und Kategorien der Protokollierung. Die Protokollierung kann so konfiguriert werden, dass ausgewählte Bedenken in einer ausgewählten Ausführlichkeitsstufe protokolliert werden. Pro Tag wird eine Protokolldatei erstellt. Die Protokolldateien werden nach einer konfigurierten Anzahl von Tagen entfernt (Standardwert: 14 Tage).

Die Stabilität der Anwendung wie

• Speicherverbrauch,
• reier Plattenplatz,
• Datenverkehr,
• Größe der Nachrichten-Warteschlange,
• Betrieb der Dienste,

wird ständig überwacht und in der Webanwendung angezeigt.

Das Weiss IoT-Gateway enthält eine Fehlerreporter-Funktion, in der eine ZIP-Datei mit aktuellen Protokollen und Informationen über den Status der Kammer und den Zustand der Applikation heruntergeladen werden kann.

Es unterstützt verschiedene Bereitstellungsphasen (Entwicklung, „Preview“, Integration und Produktion).

Es unterstützt die Konfiguration von SimServ-Verbindungseinstellungen und Proxy-Einstellungen.

Systemvorraussetzung

Hinweis zum Offline-Betrieb
Das Weiss IoT Gateway benötigt eine zuverlässige Internetverbindung. Sollte die Internetverbindung einmal ausfallen, werden die Daten weiterhin aus Simpati ausgelesen, jedoch stattdessen in einer Datei auf Ihrem PC zwischengespeichert (Offline-Puffer). Nach Wiederaufnahme der Verbindung wird zunächst der Inhalt des Offline-Puffers in die Cloud übertragen und danach geht die Verarbeitung normal weiter.

Der Kunde erhält ausschließlich Rechte am Objektcode der Software. Er hat keinen Anspruch auf Nutzung oder Übergabe des Quellcodes.

Leistungen bezüglich des Supportes und der Pflege der Software erbringt WEISS nur aufgrund gesonderter schriftlicher Vereinbarung.

3. Einräumung von Nutzungsrechten
WEISS räumt dem Kunden - vorbehaltlich einer abweichenden individualvertraglichen, schriftlichen Vereinbarung - aufschiebend bedingt auf den Zeitpunkt der vollständigen Zahlung der vereinbarten Vergütung, das nicht ausschließliche, dauerhafte, unwiderrufliche und unkündbare Recht ein, die Software zu nutzen, das heißt insbesondere dauerhaft oder temporär zu speichern und zu laden, sie anzuzeigen und ablaufen zu lassen.

Ohne ausdrückliche Vereinbarung wird das Nutzungsrecht ausschließlich für das Land eingeräumt, in dem der Kunde seinen Geschäftssitz hat. Ist der Geschäftssitz innerhalb der Europäischen Union, gilt das Nutzungsrecht EU-weit. Der Kunde darf die Software nur zu dem vertraglich vorgesehenen Zweck nutzen. Die gewerbliche Weitervermietung ist untersagt. Vervielfältigungen der Software sind nur insoweit zulässig, als dies für den vertragsgemäßen Gebrauch notwendig ist. Der Kunde darf von der Software Sicherungskopien nach den Regeln der Technik im notwendigen Umfang anfertigen. Sicherungskopien auf beweglichen Datenträgern sind als solche zu kennzeichnen und mit dem Urheberrechtsvermerk des Originaldatenträgers zu versehen.

Überträgt der Kunde sein Nutzungsrecht an einen Dritten, hat er seine Verpflichtungen aus diesen Bedingungen hinsichtlich Inhaltes und Umfang der Nutzungsrechte dem Dritten aufzuerlegen. Mit der Übertragung an den Dritten ist der Kunde nicht mehr zur Nutzung berechtigt. Er hat etwaige Kopien der Software zu löschen, soweit es sich nicht um Kopien zur ordnungsgemäßen Datensicherung handelt.

Der Kunde verpflichtet sich, die Software nicht in eine andere Codeform zu bringen und keine Änderungen, Erweiterungen oder sonstige Bearbeitungen der Software vorzunehmen, es sei denn, dass dies nach den gesetzlichen Vorschriften zulässig ist.

Überlässt WEISS dem Kunden im Rahmen von Nachbesserung oder Pflege Ergänzungen (z. B. Patches, Ergänzungen des Bedienerhandbuches) oder eine Neuauflage der Software (z. B. Update, Upgrade), die früher überlassene Software („Altsoftware“) ersetzt, unterliegen sie diesen Bestimmungen. Stellt WEISS eine Neuauflage der Software zur Verfügung, so erlöschen in Bezug auf die Altsoftware die Befugnisse des Kunden auch ohne ausdrückliches Rückgabeverlangen von WEISS, sobald der Kunde die neue Software produktiv nutzt. WEISS räumt dem Kunden jedoch eine dreimonatige Übergangsphase ein, in der beide Versionen nebeneinander genutzt werden dürfen. Eine Vervielfältigung oder Umarbeitung der Anwendungsdokumentation ist – vorbehaltlich des Vorgenannten – nicht gestattet.

Bei durch WEISS vertriebenen Softwareprodukten von Drittherstellern bzw. implementierten Drittsoftwareelementen gelten die Nutzungsbedingungen der Dritthersteller für diese Software(teile) vorrangig.

4. Mitwirkungspflichten des Kunden
Der Kunde trifft angemessene Vorkehrungen für den Fall, dass von WEISS gelieferte Software ganz oder teilweise nicht ordnungsgemäß arbeitet. Er wird die Software gründlich auf Mangelfreiheit, deren Verwendbarkeit zu dem von ihm beabsichtigten Zweck und in der von ihm zur Verfügung gestellten

Hard- und Softwareumgebung testen, bevor er diese operativ einsetzt. Dies gilt auch für Software, die er von WEISS im Rahmen der Gewährleistung oder Pflege erhält. Das Vorhandensein oder die Einrichtung einer funktionsfähigen, ausreichend dimensionierten Hard- und Softwareumgebung liegt in der alleinigen Verantwortung des Kunden.

Weiterhin wird er seine Daten nach dem Stand der Technik sichern. Er stellt sicher, dass die aktuellen Daten aus in maschinenlesbarer Form bereitgehaltenen Datenbeständen mit vertretbarem Aufwand reproduzierbar sind. Der Kunde unterhält ein dem Stand der Technik entsprechendes IT Sicherheitskonzept bestehend aus technischen und organisatorischen Maßnahmen. Im Rahmen dessen trifft er insbesondere angemessene Maßnahmen, um die Software vor dem unbefugten Zugriff durch Dritte zu schützen.

Festgestellte Mängel hat der Kunde unverzüglich an WEISS zu melden. Die Mängelrüge muss Informationen über die Art des Fehlers, bei Software das Modul, in dem der Fehler aufgetreten ist, sowie die Arbeiten, die bei Auftreten des Fehlers durchgeführt wurden, enthalten. Voraussetzung für die Nacherfüllung gemäß Ziffer 5 ist die Reproduzierbarkeit oder Feststellbarkeit eines gemeldeten Mangels.

5. Sach- und Rechtsmängel
WEISS verschafft dem Kunden Lieferungen und Leistungen frei von Sach- und Rechtsmängeln. Dem Kunden ist bewusst, dass kleinere Programmfehler, die die Nutzbarkeit der Software nicht oder nur unerheblich einschränken, bei Softwareprodukten nicht vollständig ausgeschlossen werden können. Solche unerheblichen Fehler stellen keinen Mangel der Software im Sinne der Gewährleistung dar. Bei Software sind ferner solche Funktionsbeeinträchtigungen keine Mängel, die aus der vom Kunden zur Verfügung gestellten Hardware- und Softwareumgebung, Fehlbedienung, externen schadhaften Daten, Störungen von Rechnernetzen oder sonstigen aus dem Risikobereich des Kunden stammenden Gründen resultieren.

Für Software, die vom Kunden widerrechtlich geändert worden ist, hat WEISS nicht einzustehen, es sei denn, der Kunde weist nach, dass die Änderung für den gemeldeten Mangel nicht ursächlich ist. Soweit Lieferungen und Leistungen von WEISS mangelhaft sind und dies vom Kunden rechtzeitig schriftlich beanstandet wurde, wird WEISS nach seiner Wahl nachliefern oder nachbessern (Nacherfüllung). Hierzu ist WEISS Gelegenheit innerhalb angemessener Frist von mindestens vierzehn Werktagen zu gewähren. Bei Software kann die Nacherfüllung insbesondere durch Überlassung einer neuen Programmversion oder dadurch erfolgen, dass WEISS zumutbare Möglichkeiten aufzeigt, die Auswirkungen des Mangels zu umgehen. Eine neue Programmversion muss vom Kunden auch dann übernommen werden, wenn dies für ihn zu einem hinnehmbaren Anpassungsaufwand führt.

Die Nacherfüllung bei Rechtsmängeln erfolgt, indem WEISS dem Kunden eine rechtlich einwandfreie Nutzungsmöglichkeit an der Software verschafft. WEISS kann hierbei die betroffene Software gegen eine gleichwertige, den vertraglichen Bestimmungen entsprechende Software austauschen, wenn dies für den Kunden hinnehmbar ist. Falls Dritte Schutzrechte gegen den Kunden geltend machen, unterrichtet dieser WEISS unverzüglich schriftlich. WEISS wird nach seiner Wahl und in Absprache mit dem Kunden die Ansprüche abwehren oder befriedigen. Der Kunde darf von sich aus die Ansprüche Dritter nicht anerkennen oder die Inanspruchnahme gütlich beilegen. WEISS wehrt die Ansprüche Dritter auf eigene Kosten ab und stellt den Kunden von allen mit der Anspruchsabwehr verbundenen notwendigen Kosten und Schäden frei, soweit diese nicht auf einem pflichtwidrigen Verhalten des Kunden beruhen. Schlägt die Nacherfüllung fehl, kann der Kunde die Vergütung mindern oder vom Vertrag zurücktreten. Der Rücktritt ist allerdings nur zulässig, wenn der Kunde WEISS dies zuvor ausdrücklich schriftlich mit einer angemessenen weiteren Nachfrist androht.

6. Schadensersatz
Soweit sich aus den nachfolgenden Regelungen nichts Abweichendes ergibt, haftet WEISS bei einer Verletzung von vertraglichen und außervertraglichen Pflichten nach den gesetzlichen Vorschriften.

WEISS haftet auf Schadensersatz – gleich aus welchem Rechtsgrund – im Rahmen der Verschuldenshaftung bei Vorsatz und grober Fahrlässigkeit. Bei einfacher Fahrlässigkeit haftet WEISS vorbehaltlich eines milderen Haftungsmaßstabs nach den gesetzlichen Vorschriften (z.B. für Sorgfalt in eigenen Angelegenheiten) nur

a) für Schäden aus der Verletzung des Lebens, des Körpers oder der Gesundheit,

b) für Schäden aus der nicht unerheblichen Verletzung einer wesentlichen Vertragspflicht (Verpflichtung, deren Erfüllung die ordnungsgemäße Durchführung des Vertrags überhaupt erst ermöglicht und auf deren Einhaltung der Vertragspartner regelmäßig vertraut und vertrauen darf); in diesem Fall ist die Haftung jedoch auf den Ersatz des vorhersehbaren, typischerweise eintretenden Schadens begrenzt.

Die vorgenannten Haftungsbeschränkungen gelten auch bei Pflichtverletzungen durch bzw. zugunsten von Personen, deren Verschulden WEISS nach gesetzlichen Vorschriften zu vertreten hat. Sie gelten nicht, soweit WEISS einen Mangel arglistig verschwiegen oder eine Beschaffenheitsgarantie übernommen hat und für Ansprüche des Kunden nach dem Produkthaftungsgesetz. Aussagen zur Beschaffenheit der Software sind als Leistungsbeschreibung zu verstehen und stellen keine Beschaffenheits- oder Haltbarkeitsgarantie im Sinne von § 443 BGB dar.

Bei Datenverlusten haftet WEISS nur für den Schaden, der auch bei ordnungsgemäßer Datensicherung durch den Kunden (Ziffer 4) entstanden wäre.

7. Haftung des Kunden und außerordentliche Kündigung
Der Kunde haftet gegenüber WEISS für alle Schäden, die WEISS aus der Verletzung der urheberrechtlichen Bestimmungen aus Ziffer 3 entstehen.

WEISS ist berechtigt, die dem Kunden eingeräumten Nutzungsrechte zu widerrufen, wenn der Kunde trotz Mahnung seitens WEISS wiederholt die nach Ziffer 3 eingeräumten Nutzungsrechte überschreitet oder keine dem Stand der Technik entsprechenden Vorkehrungen zur IT-Sicherheit im Sinne der Ziffer 4 trifft. In diesem Falle ist der Kunde verpflichtet, die Nutzung der Original-Software nebst sämtlichen Kopien unverzüglich einzustellen und diese zu vernichten. Der Kunde hat eine schriftliche Bestätigung der Vernichtung an die unten angegebene Adresse zu übersenden.

8. Rechtswahl und Gerichtsstand
Für alle Rechtsbeziehungen zwischen WEISS und dem Kunden, denen diese Bedingungen zu Grunde gelegt werden, gilt das Recht der Bundesrepublik Deutschland unter Ausschluss des Übereinkommens der Vereinten Nationen über Verträge über den internationalen Warenkauf (CISG).

Die Parteien sind sich darüber bewusst, dass die Software Export- und Importbeschränkungen unterliegen kann. Insbesondere können Genehmigungspflichten bestehen bzw. kann die Nutzung der Software oder damit verbundener Technologien im Ausland Beschränkungen unterliegen.

Der Kunde wird die anwendbaren Export- und Importkontrollvorschriften der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, der Europäischen Union und der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, sowie alle anderen einschlägigen Vorschriften einhalten. Die Vertragserfüllung des Lizenzgebers steht unter dem Vorbehalt, dass der Erfüllung keine Hindernisse aufgrund von nationalen und internationalen Vorschriften des Export- und Importrechts sowie keine sonstigen gesetzlichen Vorschriften entgegenstehen.

Sofern der Kunde Kaufmann, öffentlich-rechtliches Sondervermögen oder eine juristische Person des öffentlichen Rechts ist, ist ausschließlicher Gerichtsstand für alle sich aus den vorgenannten Rechtsbeziehungen ergebenden Ansprüche der Sitz von WEISS; erhebt WEISS Klage, so gilt daneben auch der allgemeine Gerichtsstand des Kunden.
