After the Customer has provided the final destination notification,
Siemens sends the Customer an RSC Certificate detailing the
place of performance and the service period.
The services to be provided by Siemens are requested via a
service order from the Customer. The service order must be
submitted within the service period of the RSC.

by this RSC shall only be provided in those countries named in
the RSC country list.
