2. Scope

2.1 These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the website www.kroemtech.ch and all content made available on it — including text, graphics, data, images, tools, logos, videos, and other materials (“Content”).

2.2 These Terms of Use do not apply to the dathaScy platform. The platform is a separate, access-controlled application provided to customers under its own Terms of Service and related agreements.

2.3 By accessing the website you agree to the version of these Terms of Use published at the time of access. Kroemtech may update them from time to time; the current version and its effective date appear on this page.

3. No Advice; No Binding Offer

3.1 The information on this website is provided for general information about Kroemtech’s solutions, services and products in OT security consulting, security awareness training, machine retrofits, and IIoT monitoring. It does not constitute professional, technical, legal, or security advice.

3.2 In particular, no Content on this website — including articles, whitepapers, checklists, or advisories — constitutes an assessment of your environment, and it must not be relied upon to configure, patch, segment, operate, or otherwise modify industrial control systems, operational technology environments, safety instrumented systems, or protective functions. No decision affecting the safety, security, or availability of industrial systems should rest on website Content alone. For questions relating to your specific environment, contact us directly. Product documentation must be reviewed before installation or use.

3.3 Nothing on this website constitutes a binding offer. The materials are an invitation to submit a proposal.

3.4 Accessing this website does not create any contractual, advisory, or fiduciary relationship between you and Kroemtech.

4. Contact Form and Submissions

4.1 Please do not submit confidential, security-sensitive, or proprietary information through the contact form — in particular details of vulnerabilities, network architectures, security incidents, or the configuration of your industrial systems. Submissions made through this website are not treated as confidential and create no duty of care, engagement, or advisory relationship. Confidential exchanges take place only under a written agreement.

4.2 If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in a Kroemtech website, product, or service, please report it to info@kroemtech.com. Kroemtech supports coordinated disclosure.

5.2 You must not:

• access the website by automated means — including scraping, crawling, or bulk downloading — beyond ordinary search-engine indexing, without our prior written consent;
• use any Content to train, fine-tune, or otherwise develop machine-learning or artificial-intelligence models. Kroemtech reserves its rights for text and data mining within the meaning of Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 and comparable provisions; this reservation is also declared in machine-readable form;
• probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the website, circumvent access controls, or otherwise interfere with the website or the servers and networks connected to it;

6.1 The Content on this website is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights.

6.2 Except as expressly granted in these Terms of Use, no rights — including copyrights, trademarks, or patents — are transferred to users. Downloading, printing, or duplicating Content does not imply the grant of any licence or ownership.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

7.1 Kroemtech does not warrant that access to the website will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the website is free from viruses or other harmful elements.

7.2 While Kroemtech seeks to keep the Content current and accurate, no warranty is given as to its completeness, correctness, timeliness, reliability, legal compliance, or suitability for a particular purpose. This applies equally to any data, insights, or conclusions drawn from the Content.
