will be similar to, or compatible with, Early Release versions.
"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 in a file in the Program's
directory, by the use of a system command, or as a booklet which accompanies
the Program. The LI may also be found at http://www.ibm.com/software/sla/ .

copies: 1) machine-readable instructions and data, 2) components, 3)
audio-visual content (such as images, text, recordings, or pictures), 4)

documentation.

entity.
This Agreement includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 - Country-unique Terms
(if any), and License Information 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.

acquire it.
You may 1) use the Program only for internal evaluation or testing purposes,

copy, of the Program 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.
THE PROGRAM MAY CONTAIN A DISABLING DEVICE THAT WILL PREVENT IT FROM BEING

for Your authorized use and complies with the terms of this Agreement.

in this Agreement; 2) reverse assemble, reverse compile, or otherwise

when the Program automatically disables itself, or 3) when IBM makes the
program commercially available. You will destroy the Program and all copies
made of it within ten days of the end of the evaluation period. There is no
charge for the use of Program for the duration of the evaluation period.

Agreement.

SUBJECT TO ANY STATUTORY WARRANTIES WHICH CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, IBM MAKES NO
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, REGARDING THE PROGRAM OR TECHNICAL
SUPPORT, IF ANY.
The exclusion also applies to any of IBM's Program developers and suppliers.

own warranties.

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.

activities, including communicating with You (for example, for processing
orders, for promotions, and for market research).

local law without the possibility of contractual waiver or limitation.

due to causes beyond its control.

SWITZERLAND: General (Section 5): The following is added to item 4:
For purposes of this clause, contact information will also include information
about You as a legal entity, for example revenue data and other transactional
information.
UNITED KINGDOM: No Warranty (Section 3): The following replaces the first
sentence in the first paragraph of this section:
SUBJECT TO ANY STATUTORY WARRANTIES WHICH CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, IBM MAKES NO
WARRANTY OR CONDITION EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING (WITHOUT
LIMITATION) THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, REGARDING THE PROGRAM.
Limitation of Liability (Section 4): The following replaces the terms of this
section in its entirety:
For the purposes of this section, a "Default" means any act, statement,
omission, or negligence on the part of IBM in connection with, or in relation
to, the subject matter of an Agreement in respect of which IBM is legally
liable to You, whether in contract or tort. A number of Defaults which
together result in, or contribute to, substantially the same loss or damage
will be treated as one Default.
Circumstances may arise where, because of a Default, You are entitled to
recover damages from IBM. This section sets out the extent of IBM's liability
and Your sole remedy.
1. IBM will accept unlimited liability for:
a. death or personal injury caused by the negligence of IBM;
b. any breach of its obligations implied by Section 12 of the Sale of Goods
Act 1979 or Section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982, or any
statutory modification or re-enactment of either such Section; and
c. subject always to the Items for Which IBM is Not Liable below, for physical
damage to Your tangible property resulting from the negligence of IBM.
2. IBM's entire liability for actual damages for any one Default will not in
any event, except as provided in item 1 above, exceed the greater of 1)
£75,000, or 2) 125% of the amount You paid for the Program directly relating
to the Default. These limits also apply to IBM's suppliers and Program
developers. They state the maximum for which IBM and such suppliers and
Program developers are collectively responsible.
Items for Which IBM is Not Liable
Save with respect to any liability referred to in item 1 above, under no
circumstances is IBM or any of its suppliers or Program developers liable for
any of the following, even if IBM or they were informed of the possibility of
such losses:
1. loss of, or damage to, data;
2. special, indirect, or consequential loss; or
3. loss of profits, business, revenue, goodwill, or anticipated savings.
