7. BIM OBJECTS 

We make digital objects and content of the Products (hereinafter referred to as "BIM Objects and Content") available to users on its own platform or any third-party platform of its choice to enable architects, designers, engineers, consultants and other professionals to download the BIM Objects and Content for their software, enabling them to model building information. 

Users may use BIM Objects and Content under the following principles and conditions, which are deemed accepted by the mere fact of using the BIM Objects and Content.  

The “use” of BIM Objects and Content refers to the downloading of the BIM Object, its installation, copy or other advantage arising from the use of its features, in accordance with its intended purpose, by any person (professional or non-professional). 

7.1 Liability 

We cannot exclude or guarantee the absence of imperfections. We do not accept any liability in this respect. These may include typing errors in the coding of the name or article, colour, material or dimensions that differ. In the case of variable article lengths, you may be able to enter a dimension that is not possible from a practical point of view. 

7.2 Geometry Details 

BIM Objects and Content are modelled for functional use within a BIM process. This also means, in particular, that the geometry was not modelled in detail, but only in order to determine the location as well as the relevant connection and fixing points. The irrelevant design and details of the product or certain features may have been omitted in order to be able to use the products pragmatically and without excessive load in models that are often very heavy. These may include material roundings, screws and other fasteners, perforations, etc. 

7.3 Updates and modifications 

We may create new versions of BIM Objects and Content, and may, at our discretion, make them available to users. Any new version of the BIM Objects and Content shall replace the previous version. 
We also reserve the right to make temporary changes to its product range and to phase out products. The user of BIM models must at all times ensure that the products used are available and up-to-date. Users are strictly prohibited from modifying our families and marketing them under a different name and brand. 

7.4 Exclusion of Liability for Digital Objects and Content 

We make no commitment of any kind to the User of the BIM Objects and Content. The user is solely liable (and we have no liability toward the user or any third party) for any content that may be created, transmitted, sent, uploaded, displayed or used for any application made available in any manner whatsoever while using any BIM Object or Content and the consequences thereof (including any loss or damage that the user, its affiliates, customers or any other third party may incur). 

By providing the BIM Objects and Content, we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability, quality or fitness for any purpose of the BIM Objects and Content. In no event shall we and/or our affiliates be liable for any damages caused by the BIM Objects and Content, regardless of the cause, including, but not limited to, errors or omissions in any BIM Object or Content or for any loss or damage of any kind resulting from the use of any BIM Object or Content. 

Any download, use or adaptation, including formatting, of our BIM Objects and Content is the sole responsibility of the professionals concerned, whether this use is aimed at creating a new business relationship, providing advice, providing updates concerning their products to users, carrying out specific projects, digital models, analyses and simulations (energy, structural calculation, conflict detection, etc.), controls (compliance with standards, budget, etc.), visualisations or any other purpose. 

7.5 Intellectual Property 

All intellectual property rights (including copyrights, trademark rights, patents and all other intellectual property rights) relating to the BIM Objects and Content attached thereto are our exclusive property. 

These Terms of Use in no way entail the transfer to a user of any intellectual property rights related either to the structure or to the content of the BIM Objects. 

We shall grant no licence and any breach regarding intellectual property rights shall constitute an infringement. In general, the user undertakes not to infringe in any way our rights and not to engage in any activity that could aim to modify, interfere, damage or infringe in any way whatsoever our data or associated intellectual property rights. 

7.6 Respect of our rights over Digital Objects and Content 

The user is not authorised to extract or collect our BIM Objects and Content to establish separate databases.

The user guarantees that there will be no infringement and/or alleged infringement on its part or on the part of a third party regarding the activities it will offer in connection with our BIM Objects and Content. 

7.7 Guarantees 

The BIM Object is a particularly complex area of computer technology.
