GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE CLC_calculator SPREADSHEET USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
1. SUBJECT
With these General Terms and Conditions (or "Agreement"), ROTHO BLAAS SRL, with registered office at I-39040 Cortaccia (BZ), Via dell'Adige 2/1 (hereinafter "RB") grants the user the non-exclusive and revocable right to use the "CTC_calculator" spreadsheet (hereinafter "XLS") free of charge under the following conditions and during the term of this Agreement.
This Agreement therefore governs the relationship between the User and RB with respect to the use of this spreadsheet. By downloading and using XLS, the user accepts this Agreement and the conditions set out herein.
XLS allows the user to perform static calculations only for the products and materials indicated in each of its sections. This Agreement expressly prohibits to use XLS to manufacture products that are not indicated.
XLS allows the user to determine an indicative number of connectors; the exact number of connectors must be determined by the designer in charge who is responsible for checking the accuracy of the results obtained from the processing of the data entered.
In any case, RB does not guarantee the legal and design conformity of the calculations, as RB intends to provide only an indicative calculation tool to be considered as a technical-commercial service within the sales activity.
2. TECHNICAL-STANDARDS REFERENCES
RB carried out the checks according to the Limit State method in accordance with EN 1995-1-1 Eurocode 5 - Design of timber structures and EN 1992-1-1 Eurocode 2 - Design of concrete structures.
The stresses have been calculated using the method indicated in Appendix B of the standard EN 1995-1-1 concerning mechanically jointed beams. The dimensioning is carried out considering an effective shoring of the beams during the casting phase and until the concrete is completely cured.
The dimensioning of any additional reinforcement required must be carried out separately. The stiffness values are taken from the European Technical Assessment Document ETA-19/0244.

RB:
a) makes available XLS to the User free of charge, as it is;
b) does not provide the user with any technical support for using XLS;
c) does not guarantee that XLS complies with the regulations in force or with the calculations design made using it. In particular, as a result of changes to the relevant provisions, such as standards, approvals, etc., the spreadsheet may become invalid in part or in full.
d) while reserving the right to update, revise and develop XLS, RB does not assume any obligation towards the user to verify, correct, complete or update the spreadsheet and/or make the updates available to the user.
