International License Agreement for Non-Warranted 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 THE
PARTY FROM WHOM IT WAS OBTAINED FOR A REFUND OF THE AMOUNT PAID.
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.
"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 is available at www.ibm.com/software/sla. The LI can
also 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).
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 nonexclusive license to 1) use the
Program up to the Authorized Use specified in the invoice, 2) make
and install copies to support such Authorized Use, and 3) 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 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, 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; or 4)
sublicense, rent, or lease the Program; 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 Trade-ups, Updates, Fixes, and Patches
3.1.1 Trade-ups
If the Program is replaced by a trade-up Program, the
replaced Program's license is promptly terminated.
3.1.2 Updates, Fixes, and Patches
When Licensee receives 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 Fixed Term Licenses
If IBM licenses the Program for a fixed term, Licensee's
license is terminated at the end of the fixed term, unless Licensee
and IBM agree to renew it.
3.3 Term and Termination
This Agreement is effective until terminated.
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. 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.
4. Charges
Charges, if any, are based on Authorized Use obtained,
which is specified in the invoice. IBM does not give credits or
refunds for charges already due or paid, except as specified
elsewhere in this Agreement.
If Licensee wishes to increase its Authorized Use, Licensee
must notify IBM or an authorized IBM reseller in advance and pay
any applicable charges.
5. Taxes
If any authority imposes on the Program a duty, tax, levy,
or fee, excluding those based on IBM's net income, then
Licensee agrees to pay that amount, as specified in an invoice, or
supply exemption documentation. Licensee is responsible for any
personal property taxes for the Program from the date that Licensee
obtains it. If any authority imposes a customs duty, tax, levy, or
fee for the import into or the export, transfer, access, or use
of the Program outside the country in which the original
Licensee was granted the license, then Licensee agrees that it is
responsible for, and will pay, any amount imposed.
6. Money-back Guarantee
If Licensee is dissatisfied with the Program for any reason
and is the original Licensee, Licensee may terminate the
license and obtain a refund of the amount Licensee paid, if any,
for the Program, provided that Licensee returns the Program to
the party from whom Licensee obtained it within 30 days of the
invoice date. If the license is for a fixed term that is subject to
renewal, then Licensee may obtain a refund only if the Program is
returned within the first 30 days of the initial term. If Licensee
downloaded the Program, Licensee should contact the party from whom
Licensee obtained it for instructions on how to obtain the refund.
7. Program Transfer
Licensee may transfer the Program and all of Licensee's
license rights and obligations to another party only if that party
agrees to the terms of this Agreement. If the license is
terminated for any reason by either party, Licensee is prohibited from
transferring the Program to another party. Licensee may not transfer a
portion of 1) the Program or 2) the Program's Authorized Use. When
Licensee transfers the Program, Licensee must also transfer a hard
copy of this Agreement, including the LI. Immediately after the
transfer, Licensee's license terminates.
8. 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 8 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 8.
9. 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.
10. Limitation of Liability
The limitations and exclusions in this Section 10
(Limitation of Liability) apply to the full extent they are not
prohibited by applicable law without the possibility of contractual
waiver.
10.1 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 the charges (if
the Program is subject to fixed term charges, up to twelve
months' charges) Licensee paid for the Program that is the subject
of the claim.
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.
10.2 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.
11. Compliance Verification
For purposes of this Section 11 (Compliance Verification),
"ILAN 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 11
remain in effect during the period the Program is licensed to
Licensee, and for two years thereafter.
11.1 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 ILAN 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 ILAN Program Terms.
Upon reasonable notice, IBM may verify Licensee's
compliance with ILAN Program Terms at all sites and for all
environments in which Licensee uses (for any purpose) Programs subject
to ILAN 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.
11.2 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
ILAN 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.
12. 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.
13. General
a. Nothing in this Agreement affects any statutory rights
of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract.
b. For Programs IBM provides to Licensee in tangible form,
IBM fulfills its shipping and delivery obligations upon the
delivery of such Programs to the IBM-designated carrier, unless
otherwise agreed to in writing by Licensee and IBM.
c. 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.
d. Licensee agrees to comply with all applicable export and
import laws and regulations, including U.S. embargo and sanctions
regulations and prohibitions on export for certain end uses or to
certain users.
e. 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.
f. 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.
g. 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.
h. Neither Licensee nor IBM is responsible for failure to
fulfill any obligations due to causes beyond its control.
i. 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
10.1 (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.
j. 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; 2) the experiences or
recommendations of other parties; or 3) any results or savings that
Licensee may achieve.
k. 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.
l. 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.
m. 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.
14. Geographic Scope and Governing Law
14.1 Governing Law
Both parties agree to the application of the laws of the
country in which Licensee obtained the Program license to govern,
interpret, and enforce all of Licensee's and IBM's respective rights,

the subject matter of this Agreement, without regard to
conflict of law principles.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods does not apply.
14.2 Jurisdiction
All rights, duties, and obligations are subject to the
