International Program License Agreement
Part 1 - General Terms
BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, COPYING, ACCESSING, OR USING THE PROGRAM YOU AGREE
TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU ARE ACCEPTING THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF
ANOTHER PERSON OR A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT
THAT YOU HAVE FULL AUTHORITY TO BIND THAT PERSON, COMPANY, OR LEGAL ENTITY TO
THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS,
- DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, COPY, ACCESS, OR USE THE PROGRAM; AND
- PROMPTLY RETURN THE PROGRAM AND PROOF OF ENTITLEMENT TO THE PARTY FROM WHOM
YOU ACQUIRED IT TO OBTAIN A REFUND OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID. IF YOU DOWNLOADED
THE PROGRAM, CONTACT THE PARTY FROM WHOM YOU ACQUIRED IT.
"IBM" is International Business Machines Corporation or one of its
subsidiaries.
"License Information" ("LI") is a document that provides
information specific to a Program. The Program's LI is available at
http://www.ibm.com/software/sla/ . The LI may also be found in a file in the
Program's directory, by the use of a system command, or as a booklet which
accompanies the Program.
"Program" is the following, including the original and all whole or
partial copies: 1) machine-readable instructions and data, 2) components, 3)
audio-visual content (such as images, text, recordings, or pictures), 4)
related licensed materials, and 5) license use documents or keys, and
documentation.
A "Proof of Entitlement" ("PoE") is evidence of Your
authorization to use a Program at a specified level. That level may be
measured, for example, by the number of processors or users. The PoE is also
evidence of Your eligibility for warranty, future upgrade prices, if any, and
potential special or promotional opportunities. If IBM does not provide You
with a PoE, then IBM may accept the original paid sales receipt or other sales
record from the party (either IBM or its reseller) from whom You acquired the
Program, provided that it specifies the name of the Program and the usage level
acquired.
"You" and "Your" refer either to an individual person or to
a single legal entity.
This Agreement includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 - Country-unique Terms
(if any), License Information, and Proof of Entitlement and is the complete
agreement between You and IBM regarding the use of the Program. It replaces any
prior oral or written communications between You and IBM concerning Your use of
the Program. The terms of Part 2 and License Information may replace or modify
those of Part 1. To the extent there is a conflict between the terms of this Agreement
and those of the IBM International Passport Advantage Agreement, the terms of
the latter agreement prevail.
1. Entitlement
License
The Program is owned by IBM or an IBM supplier, and is copyrighted and
licensed, not sold.
IBM grants You a nonexclusive license to use the Program when You lawfully
acquire it.
You may 1) use the Program up to the level of use specified in the PoE and 2)
make and install copies, including a backup copy, to support such use. The
terms of this license apply to each copy You make. You will reproduce all
copyright notices and all other legends of ownership on each copy, or partial
copy, of the Program.
If You acquire the Program as a program upgrade, after You install the upgrade
You may not use the Program from which You upgraded or transfer it to another
party.
You will ensure that anyone who uses the Program (accessed either locally or
remotely) does so only for Your authorized use and complies with the terms of
this Agreement.
You may not 1) use, copy, modify, or distribute the Program except as provided
in this Agreement; 2) reverse assemble, reverse compile, or otherwise translate
the Program except as specifically permitted by law without the possibility of
contractual waiver; or 3) sublicense, rent, or lease the Program.
IBM may terminate Your license if You fail to comply with the terms of this
Agreement. If IBM does so, You must destroy all copies of the Program and its
PoE.
Money-back Guarantee
If for any reason You are dissatisfied with the Program and You are the
original licensee, You may obtain a refund of the amount You paid for it, if
within 30 days of Your invoice date You return the Program and its PoE to the
party from whom You obtained it. If You downloaded the Program, You may contact
the party from whom You acquired it for instructions on how to obtain the
refund.
Program Transfer
You may transfer a Program and all of Your license rights and obligations to
another party only if that party agrees to the terms of this Agreement. When
You transfer the Program, You must also transfer a copy of this Agreement,
including the Program's PoE. After the transfer, You may not use the Program.
2. Charges
The amount payable for a Program license is a one-time charge.
One-time charges are based on the level of use acquired which is specified in
the PoE. IBM does not give credits or refunds for charges already due or paid,
except as specified elsewhere in this Agreement.
If You wish to increase the level of use, notify IBM or the party from whom You
acquired it and pay any applicable charges.
If any authority imposes a duty, tax, levy or fee, excluding those based on
IBM's net income, upon the Program, then You agree to pay the amount specified
or supply exemption documentation. You are responsible for any personal
property taxes for the Program from the date that You acquire it.
3. Limited Warranty
IBM warrants that when the Program is used in the specified operating
environment it will conform to its specifications. The warranty applies only to
the unmodified portion of the Program. IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or
error-free operation of the Program or that IBM will correct all Program
defects. You are responsible for the results obtained from the use of the
Program.
IBM provides You with access to IBM databases containing information on known
Program defects, defect corrections, restrictions, and bypasses at no
additional charge. Consult the IBM Software Support Guide for further
information at http://www.ibm. com/software/support . IBM will maintain this
information for at least one year after the original licensee acquires the
Program ("Warranty Period").
If the Program does not function as warranted during the Warranty Period and
the problem cannot be resolved with information available in the IBM databases,
You may return the Program and its PoE to the party (either IBM or its
reseller) from whom You acquired it and receive a refund in the amount You
paid. If You downloaded the Program, You may contact the party from whom You
acquired it for instructions on how to obtain the refund.

4. Limitation of Liability
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM's part or other
liability, You are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance,
regardless of the basis on which You may be entitled to claim damages from IBM,
(including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract
or tort claim), IBM is liable for no more than 1) damages for bodily injury
(including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property
and 2) the amount of any other actual direct damages up to the charges for the
Program that is the subject of the claim.
This limitation of liability also applies to IBM's Program developers and
suppliers. It is the maximum for which they and IBM are collectively
responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM, ITS PROGRAM DEVELOPERS OR SUPPLIERS LIABLE FOR
ANY OF THE FOLLOWING, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY:
1. LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, DATA;

YOU.

including communicating with You (for example, for processing orders, for
