Use Standards Legally: Protect Your Business

Standards are protected by copyright worldwide. Even sharing them internally or externally without a valid license can quickly result in a copyright violation – often unintentionally, but with serious consequences. It is therefore crucial that everyone in the company understands and complies with the legal requirements.

Single-User License: Personal Access to Standards

When you purchase a standard via SNV-Connect, you receive a personal, non-transferable single-user license. This means only the licensed individual may use the document. Sharing it within the company is not permitted.

Standards are protected by copyright and trade secrets. To enable broader usage, corresponding multi-user or network licenses must be acquired. Users are responsible for complying with the license terms – violations may have legal consequences.
