These terms and conditions apply to Siemens’s performance of professional services. By signing a quote or statement of work incorporating these terms and conditions by reference (“Statement of Work”), the Customer agrees to these terms and conditions and any special terms and conditions contained in the Statement of Work.

The original version of this Agreement is in English and the Chinese translation is provided solely for the convenience of the reader.

此处所列的条款与条件适用于本公司专业服务。签署某一报价表或工作叙述表（以下简称“工作叙述表”）即被视为接受本条款和条件。用户同意本条款与条件和工作叙述表项下的任何特殊条款和条件。每一工作叙述表和本条款与条件共同构成本公司公司（以下称“Siemens”）和工作叙述表项下的用户公司（以下称“用户”）之间的“协议”。本协议的原始版本以英文提供，中文版本仅供参考。

 

1. Professional Services. Siemens will perform the professional services (“Services”) and produce the deliverables (“Deliverables”) described in the Statement of Work.

专业服务 本公司将按照工作叙述表中的规定，提供专业服务（以下称“服务”）并制作可交付件（以下称“可交付件”)。

 

A formal change control procedure will be used for all changes or revisions requested by Customer or Siemens to the scope of work, approach, schedule, charges, or Deliverables associated with the Services. Upon submission of a change control request by Siemens or Customer, Siemens will complete a charge estimate and schedule impact based upon the requested change or revision and submits it to the Customer for written acceptance. If the change control request is approved by Customer, Siemens will proceed with the Services as therein amended. If the change control request is not accepted by Customer within 10 calendar days from submittal by Siemens, the change control will be considered null and void.

用户或本公司要求对与服务相关的工作范围、方式、时间表、费用或可交付件作出的所有变更或修改应遵循正式的项目变更程序。在本公司或用户提交变更控制要求后，本公司将基于要求之变更或修改完成费用估算及对进度影响的评估，并将其提交用户书面确认。若用户批准了变更控制要求，则本公司将履行变更后的服务。若用户未在本公司提交后的十（10）天内接受变更控制要求的，则该变更控制将被视为无效。

 

2. Personnel. Siemens reserves the sole right to determine the allocation of Siemens personnel in providing the Services.

人员。 本公司保留在提供服务过程中决定本公司人员分配的独家权利。

 

The Siemens personnel performing the Services will be and remain the employees of Siemens, and Siemens will provide for and pay the compensation and other benefits of such employees, including salary, health, accident and workers’ compensation benefits and all taxes and contributions which an employer is required to pay relating to the employment of employees.

In addition, to the extent reasonably required by Siemens to perform the Services at Customer facilities, Customer will make available to Siemens facility access, office space, office furnishings, telephone and telecopy services, utilities, office supplies, and duplicating services. If the Services require that any software licensed or otherwise provided to Customer by third parties be disclosed to Siemens, or used or accessed by Siemens, Customer will, at no expense to Siemens, obtain all written consents, licenses and sublicenses necessary for Siemens to perform the Services. Customer will defend any claim brought against Siemens to the extent that such claim is due to Customer’s failure to fulfill Customer’s obligations under the preceding sentence. Customer will bear the expense of such defense and pay any damages and attorney’s fees finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction that are attributable to such claim or that result from a settlement thereof, provided that Siemens notifies Customer promptly in writing of the claim and allows Customer to fully direct the defense or settlement of such claim. Customer will not be responsible for any settlement or compromise made without Customer’s consent. This section will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

The parties recognize that in the course of performing the Services, each of the parties may have access to confidential information and trade secrets belonging to the other and each desire that such confidential information and trade secrets remain confidential. Each party agrees that all confidential information and trade secrets communicated to one party by the other in any manner (the "Confidential Information"), whether before or after the date of the Statement of Work, will be used by the recipient party only for the purposes of the Statement of Work. The other party's Confidential Information will not be disclosed by the recipient party, other than to its employees and, in the case of Siemens, to its consultants, agents, and contractors, without the prior written consent of the other party. Each party will advise its employees and, in the case of Siemens, its consultants, agents, and contractors, who receive any of the other party's Confidential Information of its confidential nature. The confidentiality provisions of this Section will not apply to any Confidential Information that (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the recipient party in violation of this Agreement; (ii) becomes available to the recipient party from a source other than the other party, provided that the recipient party has no reason to believe that such source is itself bound by a confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement with the other party or otherwise prohibited from disclosing such Confidential Information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation; (iii) was in the recipient party's possession prior to receipt from the other party; (iv) is independently developed by the recipient party without the use of the other party's Confidential Information; or (v) is required to be disclosed by the recipient party by a governmental agency or law, so long as the recipient party provides the other party with written notice of the required disclosure promptly upon receipt of notice of the required disclosure. Upon any actual or threatened violation of this Section by either party, the other party will have the right, in addition to such other remedies which may be available to it, to seek injunctive relief enjoining such acts or attempts, it being acknowledged and agreed that monetary damages are inadequate to protect the other party. This Section will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

保密。双方认识到，在提供服务的过程中，双方都可以接触到对方的保密信息和商业秘密，且各方都要求将该保密信息和商业秘密保持在保密状态。各方同意，一方在工作叙述表签署日之前或之后，以任何方式向另一方提供的所有保密信息和商业秘密（下称“保密信息”），只能由接收方用于工作叙述表的目的。未经另一方事先书面同意，接收方不得向其雇员（在本公司一方，包括本公司的顾问、代理和承包商）以外的他人泄漏另一方的保密信息。各方应告知收到另一方保密信息的雇员（在本公司一方，包括其顾问、代理和承包商），该等信息是保密的。本条的保密规定不适用于下列信息：(i) 并非由于接收方违反本协议进行披露而为公众普遍所知的信息；(ii)接收方从另一方以外的消息源获取的信息，但前提是接收方无理由相信该类消息源本身受到与另一方之间的保密或不披露协议的约束，或出于法律、合同或诚信义务，被禁止披露此类保密信息；(iii) 在从另一方接收前，接收方已占有的信息；(iv) 接收方未使用另一方的保密信息而独立开发的信息；或 (v) 政府机关或法律要求接收方披露的信息，但前提是接收方在收到披露要求后立即将披露要求书面通知另一方。一旦一方出现实际违反或将要违反本条规定的情况，则除可获取的其它补救措施外，另一方将有权寻求禁令救济来禁止此类行为或企图，双方承认和同意，金钱赔偿不足以保护另一方。本条规定将在本协议期满或因任何原因终止后继续有效。

Failure of the Customer to provide official tax receipts or other evidence of payment to Siemens shall result in Customer paying directly to Siemens additional amounts equal to the amounts originally deducted or withheld from the original payment and for which no documentation was provided.

This Agreement does not supersede any Software License Agreement (or any exhibits thereto) between the parties or any other written agreement between the parties concerning maintenance and support of Siemens software. If Customer issues a purchase order, memorandum or other instrument covering the Services, it is agreed that all terms and conditions contained therein that are additional to or inconsistent with this Agreement or the Statement of Work will be of no force and effect.

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the People’s Republic of China, without giving effect to any choice-of-law rules that may require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
