International License Agreement for Early Release of
Programs
Part 1 - General Terms
BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, COPYING, ACCESSING, CLICKING ON
AN "ACCEPT" BUTTON, OR OTHERWISE USING THE PROGRAM, LICENSEE
AGREES TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU ARE ACCEPTING THESE
TERMS ON BEHALF OF LICENSEE, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU
HAVE FULL AUTHORITY TO BIND LICENSEE TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO
NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS,
* DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, COPY, ACCESS, CLICK ON AN
"ACCEPT" BUTTON, OR USE THE PROGRAM; AND
* PROMPTLY RETURN THE UNUSED MEDIA AND DOCUMENTATION TO
IBM. IF THE PROGRAM WAS DOWNLOADED, DESTROY ALL COPIES OF THE
PROGRAM.
1. Definitions
"Authorized Use" - the specified level at which Licensee is
authorized to execute or run the Program. That level may be measured
by number of users, millions of service units ("MSUs"),
Processor Value Units ("PVUs"), or other level of use specified by
IBM in the "License Information" (see below).
"Early Release" - a release of a Program for purposes of
testing prior to it being made commercially available that may
still be under development and therefore, potentially unreliable.
"IBM" - International Business Machines Corporation or one
of its subsidiaries.
"License Information" ("LI") - a document that provides
information and any additional terms specific to a Program. The
Program's LI can be found in the Program's directory, by the use of a
system command, or as a booklet included with the Program.
"Program" - the following, including the original and all
whole or partial copies: 1) machine-readable instructions and
data, 2) components, files, and modules, 3) audio-visual content
(such as images, text, recordings, or pictures), and 4) related
licensed materials (such as keys and documentation).
"Test Period" - the period during which the Licensee tests
a Program that has not been made commercially available to
customers.
2. Agreement Structure
This Agreement includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 -
Country-unique Terms (if any) and the LI and is the complete
agreement between Licensee and IBM regarding the use of the Program.
It replaces any prior oral or written communications between
Licensee and IBM concerning Licensee's use of the Program. The terms
of Part 2 may replace or modify those of Part 1. To the extent
of any conflict, the LI prevails over both Parts.
3. License Grant
The Program is owned by IBM or an IBM supplier, and is
copyrighted and licensed, not sold.
IBM grants Licensee a limited, nonexclusive,
nontransferable license to 1) download, install, and use the Program during
the Test Period up to the Authorized Use specified in the LI
solely for test purposes and to provide feedback to IBM and 2)
make a backup copy, all provided that
a. Licensee has lawfully obtained the Program and complies
with the terms of this Agreement;
b. the backup copy does not execute unless the backed-up
Program cannot execute;
c. Licensee reproduces all copyright notices and other
legends of ownership on each copy, or partial copy, of the Program;
d. Licensee maintains a record of all copies of the Program
and ensures that anyone who uses the Program (accessed either
locally or remotely) 1) does so only on Licensee's behalf and 2)
complies with the terms of this Agreement;
e. Licensee does not 1) use the Program for productive
purposes or otherwise use, copy, modify, or distribute the Program
except as expressly permitted in this Agreement; 2) reverse
assemble, reverse compile, otherwise translate, or reverse engineer
the Program, except as expressly permitted by law without the
possibility of contractual waiver; 3) use any of the Program's
components, files, modules, audio-visual content, or related licensed
materials separately from that Program; 4) sublicense, rent, or lease
the Program; or 5) use the Program for commercial application
hosting; and
f. if Licensee obtains this Program as a Supporting
Program, Licensee uses this Program only to support the Principal
Program and subject to any limitations in the license to the
Principal Program, or, if Licensee obtains this Program as a
Principal Program, Licensee uses all Supporting Programs only to
support this Program, and subject to any limitations in this
Agreement. For purposes of this Item "f," a "Supporting Program" is a
Program that is part of another IBM Program ("Principal Program")
and identified as a Supporting Program in the Principal
Program's LI. (To obtain a separate license to a Supporting Program
without these restrictions, Licensee should contact the party from
whom Licensee obtained the Supporting Program.)
This license applies to each copy of the Program that
Licensee makes.
3.1 Updates, Fixes, and Patches
When Licensee obtains an update, fix, or patch to a
Program, Licensee accepts any additional or different terms that are
applicable to such update, fix, or patch that are specified in its LI.
If no additional or different terms are provided, then the
update, fix, or patch is subject solely to this Agreement. If the
Program is replaced by an update, Licensee agrees to promptly
discontinue use of the replaced Program.
3.2 Term and Termination
The Test Period begins on the date Licensee agrees to the
terms of this Agreement and ends upon the earliest of 1) the end
of the duration or the date specified by IBM in either the
License Information or a transaction document, 2) the date on which
the Program automatically disables itself, or 3) the date on
which IBM makes the Program commercially available. Licensee's
license to the Program terminates at the end of the Test Period,
and Licensee agrees to promptly discontinue use of the Program
and destroy all of Licensee's copies of the Program within 10
days of the end of the Test Period.
IBM may terminate Licensee's license if Licensee fails to
comply with the terms of this Agreement. If the license is
terminated for any reason by either party, Licensee agrees to promptly
discontinue use of and destroy all of Licensee's copies of the Program.
THE PROGRAM MAY CONTAIN A DISABLING DEVICE THAT WILL
PREVENT IT FROM BEING USED AFTER THE TEST PERIOD ENDS. LICENSEE
AGREES NOT TO TAMPER WITH THE DISABLING DEVICE OR THE PROGRAM.
LICENSEE SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID ANY LOSS OF DATA THAT
MIGHT RESULT WHEN THE PROGRAM CAN NO LONGER BE USED.
4. Charges
There is no charge for the use of the Program for the
duration of the Test Period.
5. Rights in Data
Licensee assigns to IBM all right, title, and interest
(including ownership of copyright) in any data, suggestions, or
written materials that 1) are related to the Program and 2)
Licensee provides to IBM. Upon IBM's request, Licensee will sign
additional documents necessary to assign such rights. In addition to
the foregoing, Licensee grants to IBM a non-exclusive,
irrevocable, unrestricted, worldwide and paid-up right and license to a)
include in any product or service any idea, know-how, concept,
technique, invention, discovery or improvement, whether or not
patentable, that Licensee provides to IBM related to the Program b)
use, manufacture and market any such product or service, and c)
allow others to do any of the foregoing.
6. No Warranties
SUBJECT TO ANY STATUTORY WARRANTIES THAT CANNOT BE
EXCLUDED, IBM MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
REGARDING THE PROGRAM OR SUPPORT, IF ANY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY,
SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND TITLE, AND
ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF NON-INFRINGEMENT.
SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY
TO LICENSEE. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN
DURATION TO THE MINIMUM PERIOD REQUIRED BY LAW. NO WARRANTIES APPLY
AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW
LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO LICENSEE. LICENSEE MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS
THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE OR JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.
THE DISCLAIMERS AND EXCLUSIONS IN THIS SECTION 6 ALSO APPLY
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 SUPPORT OF ANY KIND, UNLESS IBM
SPECIFIES OTHERWISE. IN SUCH EVENT, ANY SUPPORT PROVIDED BY IBM IS
SUBJECT TO THE DISCLAIMERS AND EXCLUSIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.
7. Licensee Data and Databases
To assist Licensee in isolating the cause of a problem with
the Program, IBM may request that Licensee 1) allow IBM to
remotely access Licensee's system or 2) send Licensee information or
system data to IBM. However, IBM is not obligated to provide such
assistance unless IBM and Licensee enter a separate written agreement
under which IBM agrees to provide to Licensee that type of
support, which is beyond IBM's obligations in this Agreement. In any
event, IBM uses information about errors and problems to improve
its products and services, and assist with its provision of
related support offerings. For these purposes, IBM may use IBM
entities and subcontractors (including in one or more countries
other than the one in which Licensee is located), and Licensee
authorizes IBM to do so.
Licensee remains responsible for 1) any data and the
content of any database Licensee makes available to IBM, 2) the
selection and implementation of procedures and controls regarding
access, security, encryption, use, and transmission of data
(including any personally-identifiable data), and 3) backup and
recovery of any database and any stored data. Licensee will not send
or provide IBM access to any personally-identifiable
information, whether in data or any other form, and will be responsible
for reasonable costs and other amounts that IBM may incur
relating to any such information mistakenly provided to IBM or the
loss or disclosure of such information by IBM, including those
arising out of any third party claims.
8. Limitation of Liability
The limitations and exclusions in this Section 8
(Limitation of Liability) apply to the full extent they are not
prohibited by applicable law without the possibility of contractual
waiver.
8.1 Items for Which IBM May Be Liable
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on
IBM's part or other liability, Licensee is entitled to recover
damages from IBM. Regardless of the basis on which Licensee is
entitled to claim damages from IBM (including fundamental breach,
negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), IBM's
entire liability for all claims in the aggregate arising from or
related to each Program or otherwise arising under this Agreement
will not exceed the amount of any 1) damages for bodily injury
(including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal
property and 2) other actual direct damages up to U.S. $10,000 (or
equivalent in local currency).
This limit also applies to any of IBM's Program developers
and suppliers. It is the maximum for which IBM and its Program
developers and suppliers are collectively responsible.
8.2 Items for Which IBM Is Not Liable
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM, ITS PROGRAM DEVELOPERS OR
SUPPLIERS LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THEIR
POSSIBILITY:
a. LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, DATA;
b. SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, OR
FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; OR
c. LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR
ANTICIPATED SAVINGS.
9. Compliance Verification
For purposes of this Section 9 (Compliance Verification),
"Early Release Program Terms" means 1) this Agreement and
applicable amendments and transaction documents provided by IBM, and
2) IBM software policies that may be found at the IBM Software
Policy website (www.ibm.com/softwarepolicies), including but not
limited to those policies concerning backup, sub-capacity pricing,
and migration.
The rights and obligations set forth in this Section 9
remain in effect during the period the Program is licensed to
Licensee, and for two years thereafter.
9.1 Verification Process
Licensee agrees to create, retain, and provide to IBM and
its auditors accurate written records, system tool outputs, and
other system information sufficient to provide auditable
verification that Licensee's use of all Programs is in compliance with
the Early Release Program Terms, including, without limitation,
all of IBM's applicable licensing and pricing qualification
terms. Licensee is responsible for 1) ensuring that it does not
exceed its Authorized Use, and 2) remaining in compliance with
Early Release Program Terms.
Upon reasonable notice, IBM may verify Licensee's
compliance with Early Release Program Terms at all sites and for all
environments in which Licensee uses (for any purpose) Programs subject
to Early Release Program Terms. Such verification will be
conducted in a manner that minimizes disruption to Licensee's
business, and may be conducted on Licensee's premises, during normal
business hours. IBM may use an independent auditor to assist with
such verification, provided IBM has a written confidentiality
agreement in place with such auditor.
9.2 Resolution
IBM will notify Licensee in writing if any such
verification indicates that Licensee has used any Program in excess of
its Authorized Use or is otherwise not in compliance with the
Early Release Program Terms. Licensee agrees to promptly pay
directly to IBM the charges that IBM specifies in an invoice for 1)
any such excess use, 2) support for such excess use for the
lesser of the duration of such excess use or two years, and 3) any
additional charges and other liabilities determined as a result of
such verification.
10. Third Party Notices
The Program may include third party code that IBM, not the
third party, licenses to Licensee under this Agreement. Notices,
if any, for the third party code ("Third Party Notices") are
included for Licensee's information only. These notices can be found
in the Program's NOTICES file(s). Information on how to obtain
source code for certain third party code can be found in the Third
Party Notices. If in the Third Party Notices IBM identifies third
party code as "Modifiable Third Party Code," IBM authorizes
Licensee to 1) modify the Modifiable Third Party Code and 2) reverse
engineer the Program modules that directly interface with the
Modifiable Third Party Code provided that it is only for the purpose
of debugging Licensee's modifications to such third party
code. IBM's service and support obligations, if any, apply only
to the unmodified Program.
11. General
a. Nothing in this Agreement affects any statutory rights
of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract.
b. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid
or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement
remain in full force and effect.
c. Licensee is prohibited from exporting the Program.
d. Licensee authorizes International Business Machines
Corporation and its subsidiaries (and their successors and assigns,
contractors and IBM Business Partners) to store and use Licensee's
business contact information wherever they do business, in
connection with IBM products and services, or in furtherance of IBM's
business relationship with Licensee.
e. Each party will allow the other reasonable opportunity
to comply before it claims that the other has not met its
obligations under this Agreement. The parties will attempt in good
faith to resolve all disputes, disagreements, or claims between
the parties relating to this Agreement.
f. Unless otherwise required by applicable law without the
possibility of contractual waiver or limitation: 1) neither party will
bring a legal action, regardless of form, for any claim arising
out of or related to this Agreement more than two years after
the cause of action arose; and 2) upon the expiration of such
time limit, any such claim and all respective rights related to
the claim lapse.
g. Neither Licensee nor IBM is responsible for failure to
fulfill any obligations due to causes beyond its control.
h. No right or cause of action for any third party is
created by this Agreement, nor is IBM responsible for any third
party claims against Licensee, except as permitted in Subsection
8.1 (Items for Which IBM May Be Liable) above for bodily injury
(including death) or damage to real or tangible personal property for
which IBM is legally liable to that third party.
i. In entering into this Agreement, neither party is
relying on any representation not specified in this Agreement,
including but not limited to any representation concerning: 1) the
performance or function of the Program, other than as expressly
warranted in Section 6 (No Warranties) above; 2) the experiences or
recommendations of other parties; or 3) any results or savings that
Licensee may achieve.
j. IBM has signed agreements with certain organizations
(called "IBM Business Partners") to promote, market, and support
certain Programs. IBM Business Partners remain independent and
separate from IBM. IBM is not responsible for the actions or
statements of IBM Business Partners or obligations they have to
Licensee.
k. The license and intellectual property indemnification
terms of Licensee's other agreements with IBM (such as the IBM
Customer Agreement) do not apply to Program licenses granted under
this Agreement.
l. IBM does not warrant that any version of the Program
that is formally released or made commercially available (if
any) will be similar to, or compatible with, Early Release
versions.
m. Licensee may not assign this Agreement, in whole or in
part, without IBM's prior written consent. Any attempt to do so
is void.
n. Any terms of this Agreement that by their nature extend
beyond termination of this Agreement remain in effect until
fulfilled, and apply to both parties' respective successors and
assignees.
o. Both parties agree that all information exchanged is
nonconfidential. If either party requires the exchange of confidential
information, it will be made under a signed confidentiality agreement.
12. Geographic Scope and Governing Law
12.1 Governing Law
Both parties agree to the application of the laws of the
country in which Licensee obtained the Program license to govern,

governing law and rules of procedure:
ASIA PACIFIC
(1) In Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Philippines, and
Vietnam:
Disputes arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement will be finally settled by arbitration which will be held
in Singapore in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of
Singapore International Arbitration Center ("SIAC Rules") then in
effect. The arbitration award will be final and binding for the
parties without appeal and will be in writing and set forth the
findings of fact and the conclusions of law.
The number of arbitrators will be three, with each side to
the dispute being entitled to appoint one arbitrator. The two
arbitrators appointed by the parties will appoint a third arbitrator
who will act as chairman of the proceedings. Vacancies in the
post of chairman will be filled by the president of the SIAC.
Other vacancies will be filled by the respective nominating
party. Proceedings will continue from the stage they were at when
the vacancy occurred.
If one of the parties refuses or otherwise fails to appoint
an arbitrator within 30 days of the date the other party
appoints its, the first appointed arbitrator will be the sole
arbitrator, provided that the arbitrator was validly and properly
