International Program License Agreement
Part 1 - General Terms
BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, COPYING, ACCESSING, OR USING
THE PROGRAM YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU
ARE ACCEPTING THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON OR A
COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU
HAVE FULL AUTHORITY TO BIND THAT PERSON, COMPANY, OR LEGAL
ENTITY TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS,
- DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, COPY, ACCESS, OR USE THE
PROGRAM; AND
- PROMPTLY RETURN THE PROGRAM AND PROOF OF ENTITLEMENT TO
THE PARTY FROM WHOM YOU ACQUIRED IT TO OBTAIN A REFUND OF THE
AMOUNT YOU PAID. IF YOU DOWNLOADED THE PROGRAM, CONTACT THE PARTY
FROM WHOM YOU ACQUIRED IT.
"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 at
http://www.ibm.com/software/sla/ . The LI may also be found in a
file in the Program's directory, by the use of a system command,
or as a booklet which accompanies the Program.
"Program" is the following, including the original and all
whole or partial copies: 1) machine-readable instructions and
data, 2) components, 3) audio-visual content (such as images,
text, recordings, or pictures), 4) related licensed materials,
and 5) license use documents or keys, and documentation.
A "Proof of Entitlement" ("PoE") is evidence of Your
authorization to use a Program at a specified level. That level may be
measured, for example, by the number of processors or users. The PoE
is also evidence of Your eligibility for warranty, future
upgrade prices, if any, and potential special or promotional
opportunities. If IBM does not provide You with a PoE, then IBM may accept
the original paid sales receipt or other sales record from the
party (either IBM or its reseller) from whom You acquired the
Program, provided that it specifies the name of the Program and the
usage level acquired.
"You" and "Your" refer either to an individual person or to
a single legal entity.
This Agreement includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 -
Country-unique Terms (if any), License Information, and Proof of
Entitlement 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. To the extent there is a conflict between the
terms of this Agreement and those of the IBM International
Passport Advantage Agreement, the terms of the latter agreement
prevail.
1. Entitlement
License
The Program is owned by IBM or an IBM supplier, and is
copyrighted and licensed, not sold.
IBM grants You a nonexclusive license to use the Program
when You lawfully acquire it.
You may 1) use the Program up to the level of use specified
in the PoE and 2) make and install copies, including a backup
copy, 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.
If You acquire the Program as a program upgrade, after You
install the upgrade You may not use the Program from which You
upgraded or transfer it to another party.
You will ensure that anyone who uses the Program (accessed
either locally or remotely) does so only for Your authorized use
and complies with the terms of this Agreement.
You may not 1) use, copy, modify, or distribute the Program
except as 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.
IBM may terminate Your license if You fail to comply with
the terms of this Agreement. If IBM does so, You must destroy
all copies of the Program and its PoE.
Money-back Guarantee
If for any reason You are dissatisfied with the Program and
You are the original licensee, You may obtain a refund of the
amount You paid for it, if within 30 days of Your invoice date You
return the Program and its PoE to the party from whom You obtained
it. If You downloaded the Program, You may contact the party
from whom You acquired it for instructions on how to obtain the
refund.
Program Transfer
You may transfer a Program and all of Your license rights
and obligations to another party only if that party agrees to
the terms of this Agreement. When You transfer the Program, You
must also transfer a copy of this Agreement, including the
Program's PoE. After the transfer, You may not use the Program.
2. Charges
The amount payable for a Program license is a one-time
charge.
One-time charges are based on the level of use acquired
which is specified in the PoE. IBM does not give credits or
refunds for charges already due or paid, except as specified
elsewhere in this Agreement.
If You wish to increase the level of use, notify IBM or the
party from whom You acquired it and pay any applicable charges.
If any authority imposes a duty, tax, levy or fee,
excluding those based on IBM's net income, upon the Program, then You
agree to pay the amount specified or supply exemption
documentation. You are responsible for any personal property taxes for the
Program from the date that You acquire it.
3. Limited Warranty
IBM warrants that when the Program is used in the specified
operating environment it will conform to its specifications. The
warranty applies only to the unmodified portion of the Program. IBM
does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of the
Program or that IBM will correct all Program defects. You are
responsible for the results obtained from the use of the Program.
IBM provides You with access to IBM databases containing
information on known Program defects, defect corrections, restrictions,
and bypasses at no additional charge. Consult the IBM Software
Support Guide for further information at http://www.ibm.
com/software/support . IBM will maintain this information for at least one year
after the original licensee acquires the Program ("Warranty
Period").
If the Program does not function as warranted during the
Warranty Period and the problem cannot be resolved with information
available in the IBM databases, You may return the Program and its
PoE to the party (either IBM or its reseller) from whom You
acquired it and receive a refund in the amount You paid. If You
downloaded the Program, You may contact the party from whom You
acquired it for instructions on how to obtain the refund.

4. Limitation of Liability
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on
IBM's part or 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 and suppliers. It is the maximum for which they and IBM are
collectively responsible.

SUPPLIERS LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THEIR
POSSIBILITY:
