This International License Agreement for Non-Warranted
Programs (ILAN) and applicable Transaction Documents (together the
"Agreement") are the complete agreement between Licensee and IBM
regarding the use of a Program. The country required terms included
in Part 2 of this ILAN replace or modify the terms of Part 1.
Transaction Documents (TDs) provide a description,
information, and terms regarding the Program and its authorized use.
Examples of TDs for Programs include license information (LI),
licensed program specifications (LPS), quote, proof of entitlement
(PoE) or invoice. To the extent of any conflict a TD will prevail
over the ILAN.
1. Program License
a. A Program is an executable IBM-branded computer program
and its related material and includes whole and partial copies.
Program details are described in a TD available at http://www.ibm.
com/software/sla (for Passport Advantage Programs) or http://www.ibm.
com/support/knowledgecenter (for other IBM Programs), in the Program's system command
directory, or as otherwise specified by IBM. IBM software policies
(such as backup, temporary use and IBM approved cloud
environment) available at http://www.ibm.com/softwarepolicies apply to
Licensee's use of Programs.
b. Copies of Programs are copyrighted and licensed.
c. Licensee is granted a nonexclusive license to:
(1) use each copy of a Program, subject to the terms of the
Agreement and, if applicable, up to the number of license
entitlements Licensee acquires ("Authorized Use");
(2) make and install copies to support such Authorized Use;
and
(3) make a backup copy.
d. Programs may be used by Licensee, its employees and
contractors. Licensee may not rent or lease a Program or provide
commercial IT, hosting or timesharing services to any third party.
Additional rights may be available for additional fees or under
different terms.
e. The license granted for a Program is subject to Licensee:
(1) reproducing copyright notices and other markings on any
copy;
(2) ensuring anyone who uses the Program: i) does so only
on Licensee's behalf within Licensee's Authorized Use; and ii)
complies with this Agreement;
(3) not reverse assembling, reverse compiling, translating,
or reverse engineering the Program, except as expressly
permitted by law without the possibility of contractual waiver; and
(4) not using any of the elements of the Program or related
licensed materials separately from the Program.
f. If the TD for a Program ("Principal Program") states
that a "Supporting Program" is included with the Principal
Program, Licensee may use the Supporting Program subject to any
license limitations of the Principal Program and only to support
the Principal Program.
g. This license applies to each copy of the Program that
Licensee makes.
h. An update, fix, or patch to a Program is subject to the
terms governing the Program unless new terms are provided in an
updated TD. Licensee accepts such new terms upon installation of
the update, fix, or patch. If a Program is replaced by an
update, Licensee agrees to promptly discontinue use of the replaced
Program.
i. If Licensee is dissatisfied with a Program for any
reason, Licensee may terminate the license by returning the Program
and proof of entitlement to IBM or the authorized IBM Business
Partner within 30 days of the original acquisition date of such
Program for a refund of the amount paid. For a downloaded Program,
contact the party Licensee acquired the Program from for refund
instructions.
2. Warranties
a. IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free
operation of an IBM Program or that IBM will correct all defects or
prevent third party disruptions. These warranties are the exclusive
warranties from IBM and replace all other warranties, including the
implied warranties or conditions of satisfactory quality,
merchantability, non-infringement, and fitness for a particular purpose. IBM
warranties will not apply if there has been misuse, modification,
damage not caused by IBM, or failure to comply with written
instructions provided by IBM. Non-IBM Programs are provided as-is,
without warranties of any kind. Third parties may provide their own
warranties to Licensee.
b. Additional support available during or after the
warranty period may be available under separate agreement.
3. Charges, Taxes, Payment, and Verification
a. Licensee's right to use a Program is contingent on
Licensee paying applicable charges, if any, as specified in the
agreement under which Licensee acquired the license entitlements.
Licensee is responsible to acquire additional license entitlements
in advance of any increase of its use.
b. Licensee agrees to pay all applicable charges for
acquired entitlements and any charges for use in excess of
authorizations. Charges are exclusive of any customs or other duty, tax,
and similar levies imposed by any authority resulting from
Licensee's acquisition of entitlements and will be invoiced in
addition to such charges. Amounts are due upon receipt of the
invoice from IBM and payable within 30 days of the invoice date to
an account specified by IBM and late payment fees may apply.
Licensee is responsible to properly acquire additional license
entitlements in advance to increase its use. IBM does not give credits
or refunds for charges already due or paid, except as
specified elsewhere in this ILAN, the applicable TD, or terms of the
agreement under which Licensee acquired license entitlements.
c. Based on acquired entitlements, Licensee agrees to: i)
pay any withholding tax directly to the appropriate government
entity where required by law; ii) furnish a tax certificate
evidencing such payment to IBM; iii) pay IBM only the net proceeds
after tax; and iv) fully cooperate with IBM in seeking a waiver
or reduction of such taxes and promptly complete and file all
relevant documents.
d. If Licensee imports, exports, transfers, accesses, or
uses a Program across a border, Licensee agrees to be
responsible for and pay authorities any custom, duty, tax, or similar
levy assessed by the authorities. This excludes those taxes
based on IBM's net income.
3.1 Licensing Verification
a. Licensee will, for all Programs at all sites and for all
environments, create, retain, and each year provide to IBM upon request
with 30 days' advance notice: i) a report, in a format requested
by IBM using records, system tools output, and other system
information; and ii) supporting documentation (collectively, "Deployment
Data").
b. Upon reasonable notice, IBM and its independent auditors
may verify Licensee's compliance with this Agreement, at all
sites and for all environments, in which Licensee uses (for any
purposes) Programs. 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 will have a
written confidentiality agreement with the independent auditor. In
addition to providing Deployment Data described above, Licensee
agrees to provide to IBM and its auditors additional accurate
information and Deployment Data upon request.
c. Licensee will promptly order and pay charges at IBM's
then current rates associated with: i) any deployments in excess
of authorizations indicated on or by any annual report or
verification; ii) applicable subscription & support services (S&S) for
such excess deployments for the lesser of the duration of such
excess use or two years; and iii) any additional charges and other
liabilities determined as a result of such verification, including but
not limited to taxes, duties, and regulatory fees.
4. Liability and Intellectual Property Protection
a. IBM's entire liability for all claims related to this
Agreement will not exceed the amount of any actual direct damages
incurred by Licensee up to the greater of: i) U.S. $10,000.00 (or
equivalent in local currency); or ii) the amounts paid (if recurring
charges, up to 12 months' charges apply) for the entitlements to the
Program that is the subject of the claim, regardless of the basis
of the claim. IBM will not be liable for special, incidental,
exemplary, indirect, or economic consequential damages, or for lost
profits, business, value, revenue, goodwill, or anticipated savings.
These limitations apply collectively to IBM, its affiliates,
contractors, and suppliers.
b. The following amounts are not subject to the above cap:
damages that cannot be limited under applicable law.
c. IBM has no responsibility for claims based on non-IBM
products, items not provided by IBM, or any violation of law or third
party rights caused by Content, or any Licensee materials,
designs, specifications. Content consists of all data, software, and
information that Licensee or its authorized users provide, authorize
access to, or inputs to a Program.
5. Termination
a. IBM may terminate Licensee's license to use a Program if
Licensee fails to comply with the ILAN, TDs or acquisition
agreements, such as the International Passport Advantage Agreement
(IPAA). Licensee will promptly destroy all copies of the Program
after license termination. Any terms that by their nature extend
beyond the termination remain in effect until fulfilled and apply
to successors and assignees.
6. Governing Laws and Geographic Scope
a. Both parties agree to the application of the laws of the
country where the transaction for license entitlements is
performed, without regard to conflict of law principles. The rights
and obligations of each party are valid only in the country
where the transaction to acquire license entitlements is
performed or, if IBM agrees, the country where the Program is placed
in productive use, except all licenses are valid as
specifically granted.
b. Each party is also responsible for complying with: i)
laws and regulations applicable to its business and Content; and
ii) import, export and economic sanction laws and regulations,
including the defense trade control regime of the United States of
America and any applicable jurisdictions, that prohibit or restrict
the import, export, re-export, or transfer of products,
technology, services or data, directly or indirectly, to or for certain
countries, end uses or end users.
c. If any provision of this Agreement for a Program, is
invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full
force and effect. Nothing in this Agreement affects statutory
rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods does not apply to transactions under this
Agreement.
7. General
a. IBM is an independent contractor, not Licensee's agent,
joint venturer, partner, or fiduciary, and does not undertake to
perform any of Licensee's regulatory obligations, or assume any
responsibility for Licensee's business or operations. Licensee is
responsible for its use of IBM Programs and Non-IBM Programs. IBM is
acting as an information technology provider only. IBM's
direction, suggested usage, or guidance or use of a Program does not
constitute medical, clinical, legal, accounting, or other licensed
professional advice. Licensee should obtain its own expert advice.
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. Licensee may not use the Program if failure of the
Program could lead to death, serious bodily injury, or property or
environmental damage.
d. IBM, its affiliates, and contractors of either require
use of business contact information and certain account usage
information. This information is not Content. Business contact
information is used to communicate and manage business dealings with
the Licensee. Examples of business contact information include
name, business telephone, address, email, user ID, and tax
registration information. Account usage information is required to
enable, provide, manage, support, administer, and improve Programs.
Examples of account usage information include reported errors and
digital information gathered using tracking technologies, such as
cookies and web beacons, during use of the Programs. The IBM
Privacy Statement at http://www.ibm.com/privacy provides additional
details with respect to IBM's collection, use, and handling of
business contact and account usage information. When Licensee
provides information to IBM and notice to, or consent by, the
individuals is required for such processing, Licensee will notify
individuals and obtain consent.
e. IBM Business Partners who use or make available Programs
are independent from IBM and unilaterally determine their
prices and terms. IBM is not responsible for their actions,
omissions, statements, or offerings.
f. IBM may offer Non-IBM Programs, or an IBM Program may
enable access to Non-IBM Programs, that may require acceptance of
third party terms identified in a TD or presented to the
Licensee. Linking to or use of Non-IBM Programs constitutes
Licensee's agreement with such terms. IBM is not a party to such third
party agreements and is not responsible for such Non-IBM Programs.
g. License grants to Programs are provided by International
Business Machines Corporation, a New York corporation ("IBM
Corporation"). The IBM company from which the Licensee acquires
entitlements ("IBM") is acting as a distributor and delivering Programs
and is responsible for enforcing the terms of this Agreement.
If entitlements are acquired from an IBM Business Partner, the
IBM company for the country of acquisition is responsible for
enforcing the terms of this Agreement. No right or cause of action is
created in favor of Licensee against IBM Corporation. Licensee
waives all claims and causes of action against IBM Corporation and
agrees to look solely to IBM for any rights and remedies in
connection with Programs.
h. Licensee may not sublicense, assign, or transfer the
license for any Program (except to the extent assignment or
transfer may not be legally restricted or as is expressly permitted
in a TD or as otherwise agreed by IBM). IBM may assign its
rights and obligations under this Agreement in conjunction with
the sale of the portion of IBM's business that includes a
Program. IBM may share this Agreement and related documents in
conjunction with any assignment.
i. All notices under the Agreement must be in writing and
sent to the business address specified in the agreement Licensee
acquired the license entitlements unless a party designates in
writing a different address. The parties consent to the use of
electronic means and facsimile transmissions for communications as a
signed writing. Any reproduction of the Agreement made by reliable
means is considered an original. Agreement supersedes any course
of dealing, discussions or representations, between the
parties.
j. No right or cause of action for any third party is
created by the Agreement. Neither party will bring a legal action
arising out of or related to this Agreement more than two years
after the cause of action arose. Neither party is responsible for
failure to fulfill its non-monetary obligations due to causes
beyond its control. Each party will allow the other reasonable
opportunity to comply before it claims the other has not met its
obligations.
k. IBM may use personnel and resources in locations
worldwide, including third party contractors to support the delivery
of Programs and Program support. Licensee's use of Programs
may result in the transfer of Content, including personally
identifiable information, across country borders to provide Program
support as described in the IBM Software Support Guide.
