3.6 Safety instructions/warnings

(a) WARNING: Prior to first commissioning of the relevant Rotork Product and/or Product Connected Services, it is important to check that all Rotork Products and the systems to which they are connected (including the settings which they are calibrated to) effectively meet the specifications and settings required by the relevant Product Connected Services operations terms and/or Acceptable Use Policy. Incorrect settings might present a danger to or damage from or to the relevant Product Connected Services platform and/or the relevant system to which the Rotork Product is or has been connected. For example, damage may be caused to the relevant valve or the installation to which the Rotork Product is attached that the Product Connected Services are being used/ implemented to connect.

(b) WARNING: When using Rotork’s Digital Services:

Product Connected Services may enable the user to change or adjust certain parameters and operations of the relevant supported Rotork Product(s). In particular, this could include adjustments to certain values such as torque limits of a Rotork actuator or setting of valve-end positions. Issuing commands such as operation commands (operation in direction OPEN, operation in direction CLOSE) are commands which are considered to be “critical actions”.

After adjusting parameters and prior to issuing operation commands, it is particularly important that the user ensures that all Rotork Product and Product Connected Services settings are further checked to ensure they still meet the requirements of the relevant Rotork Product operational requirements and its application to the overall system and this is critically important in relation to critical actions as these may pose a greater risk of danger, damage or injury. Results of actions chosen to occur by a user to the relevant system at which the Rotork Product is installed shall not be the responsibility of Rotork.

Depending on the application/settings chosen, an incorrect or unsafe parameter setting may result in hazards arising from the relevant product system causing damage to either the valve, the installation to which it is connected or injury to persons. To the extent which it is able to limit it by law, Rotork accepts no responsibility for any damage or injury caused by such actions taken by, or failures to check settings by, the relevant user. Rotork shall not be responsible for any harm or damage caused by the actions or operations chosen to be undertaken by the user on the relevant Rotork Product and the equipment to which such Rotork Product is connected.

(c) Product and System safety: The User acknowledges and agrees that it is the user’s and/or the relevant system owner’s responsibility to implement and maintain adequate physical and technological security requirements in respect of the installation, commissioning, operation, use, maintenance, change of parameters, decommissioning and disassembly (where relevant) of the relent Rotork Product, the system to which the relevant Rotork Product may be connected or interact with and which may be connected to or impacted by the use of Product Connected Services, and the site at which the relevant system is located; including but not limited to measures in accordance with:

(i) any product instructions provided by the relevant manufacturer of the system products (including Rotork instructions in relation to the Rotork Product);

(ii) any security, health and safety requirements required by an insurer of the system(s), the Rotork Product or the site at which the Rotork Product is connected; and

(iii) good industry practice.

Such system owner and/or the relevant user shall therefore remain responsible and liable for any damage or injury caused by or to the relevant Rotork Product or entire system through the use of Product Connected Services as a result of any such act or omission.
