Unless explicitly agreed in written form, the copyright owners and/or third parties provide the software modules for use "as is" without any kind of warranty, either explicitly or implicitly. This includes, but is not limited to, commercial viability or suitability for a certain purpose.

The aforementioned conditions and limitations of liability apply equally to the software or partial software, as well as the descriptions and explanations provided in the documentation, even if this is not explicitly indicated.
