The following terms of business shall apply to all business relations with our customers. The ordering party recognizes them to be binding for the present contract as well as for all future business transactions. We shall not acknowledge any conflicting or deviating terms and conditions of the customer regardless of whatever point in time at which we receive them. The terms and conditions for software licenses are laid down in separate agreements.

II. OFFER AND CONCLUSION OF AGREEMENTS

1) the Products that have been developed, and are licensed to you, CODESYS Corporation (the "CODESYS products")

2) the Products that have been developed, and are licensed to you, by a third-party developer (the "Third-Party Products").

The category of each Product is displayed in the store. Your license to each Product is subject to a separate license agreement to be concluded.

The license to every CODESYS product is a binding agreement between you and CODESYS Corporation.

You acknowledge that you are purchasing the license to each Third-Party Product from the third-party licensor of that Third-Party Product; CODESYS Corporation is acting as agent for the Application Provider in providing each such Third-Party Product to you; and CODESYS Corporation is not a party to the license between you and the Application Provider with respect to that Third-Party Product. The Application Provider of each Third-Party Product is solely responsible for that Third-Party Product, the content therein, compensatory damage claims, and any claims that you or any other party may have relating to that Third-Party Product.

The presentation of our merchandise does not constitute a binding offer. An offer is only binding once you have ordered the merchandise. If this offer is accepted, we will send you an order confirmation by e-mail.
Our written order confirmation shall be decisive for determining the extent of our delivery obligation. Verbal agreements at the time of the relevant contract conclusion which supplement or amend the order confirmation, require our express written confirmation in order to be valid.
Customers, even if they are consumers, are not entitled to a statutory right of revocation for distance selling contracts for products, as the digital content is not on a physical data carrier and delivery takes place immediately after the order has been placed (download of the software and shipment of the license key by e-mail).
With the order, the customer expressly agrees to the execution of the contract before the expiry of the revocation period and has noted that his right of revocation expires with the commencement of the execution of the contract.
