XDK Disclaimer 2018-01-15
Disclaimer for Bosch Connected Devices and Solutions (BCDS) Cross-Domain Devel-
opment Kit (XDK)
XDK is designed for use within environmental conditions as further detailed in the technical
handbook. Any use or operation under deviating environmental conditions must be validated
and tested on customer’s own responsibility.
Manufacturing of XDK or derivations, adaptations thereof may only be done by BCDS.
XDK is not intended to represent a final design recommendation for any particular application.
Final device in an application has to be designed, tested and validated as per customer’s own
defined series production process (e.g. proper circuit board design and layout, heat-sink,
proper supply concept etc.) taking into account the applicable state of the art in technology.
The customer shall be responsible for conducting the design of customer’s application or pro-
ject within the scope of the Internet of Things (hereinafter referred to “Customer Application”)
as well as the integration of the XDK into such Customer Application and any adequate oper-
ating safeguards taking account of the state of the art in technology and all applicable statutory
regulations and provisions. In order to avoid/minimize risks associated with a Customer Appli-
cation, sufficient validation and testing must be provided by the customer to avoid inherent or
procedural hazards.
Bosch assumes no responsibility for the consequences of use of the Customer Application or
for any infringement of patents or other rights of third parties which may result from its use in
combination with any technology developed or added by the customer.
XDK housing is not to be opened or tampered with. In case of XDK in a single box package a
breakout board has been provided with delivery so that the user can access the extension bus
of XDK without opening the housing.
Neither the XDK nor a potential product derivation, nor the break-out board or any other XDK
component adaption are designed, intended, or authorized for use as components in systems
intended for surgical implant into the body, or other applications intended to support or sustain
life, or for any other application in which the failure of the Bosch product could create a situa-
tion where personal injury or death may occur. The same applies for any kind of nuclear sys-
tems or weapons.
In the event of any use of XDK outside the BCDS expressly specified environmental or instal-
lation conditions customer shall indemnify and hold BCDS and its officers, employees, sub-
sidiaries, affiliates, and distributors harmless against all claims, costs, damages, and ex-
penses, and reasonable attorney fees arising out of, directly or indirectly, any claim of personal
injury or death associated with such unintended or unauthorized use.
