available that it 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/ .

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

legal 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

replace or modify those of Part 1.

lawfully acquire it.
You may 1) use the Program only for internal evaluation or testing
purposes, and 2) make and install a reasonable number of copies,
including a backup 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 USED AFTER THE EVALUATION PERIOD ENDS. YOU WILL NOT TAMPER WITH

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.
The evaluation period begins when You agree to the terms of this

License Information, 2) 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.

copyright) in any data, suggestions, and written materials that 1) is
related to Your use of the Program and 2) You provide to IBM. If IBM

rights. Neither party will charge the other for rights in data or any
work performed as a result of this 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.
Manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers of non-IBM Programs may provide
their own warranties.
IBM does not provide technical support, unless IBM specifies otherwise.

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

including names, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses, anywhere they do
business. Such information will be processed and used in connection with

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

more than two years after the cause of action arose unless otherwise
provided by local law without the possibility of contractual waiver or
limitation.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT, AS DEFINED BY APPLICABLE LOCAL LAW, ANY LEGAL OR
OTHER ACTION RELATED TO A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE COMMENCED NO
LATER THAN FOUR YEARS FROM THE DATE ON WHICH THE CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE.

For purposes of this clause, contact information will also include
information about You as a legal entity, for example revenue data and

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.
