LICENSE INFORMATION
The Programs listed below are licensed under the following License Information
terms and conditions in addition to the Program license terms previously agreed
to by Client and IBM. If Client does not have previously agreed to license terms
in effect for the Program, the International Program License Agreement (Z125-3301-14)
applies.
Program Name (Program Number):
IBM Data Server Driver for .NET Core 3.1 (Tool)
The following standard terms apply to Licensee's use of the Program.
Limited use right
As described in the International Program License Agreement ("IPLA") and this
License Information, IBM grants Licensee a limited right to use the Program.
This right is limited to the level of Authorized Use, such as a Processor Value
Unit ("PVU"), a Resource Value Unit ("RVU"), a Value Unit ("VU"), or other specified
level of use, paid for by Licensee as evidenced in the Proof of Entitlement.
Licensee's use may also be limited to a specified machine, or only as a Supporting
Program, or subject to other restrictions. As Licensee has not paid for all
of the economic value of the Program, no other use is permitted without the
payment of additional fees. In addition, Licensee is not authorized to use the
Program to provide commercial IT services to any third party, to provide commercial
hosting or timesharing, or to sublicense, rent, or lease the Program unless
expressly provided for in the applicable agreements under which Licensee obtains
authorizations to use the Program. Additional rights may be available to Licensee
subject to the payment of additional fees or under different or supplementary
terms. IBM reserves the right to determine whether to make such additional rights
available to Licensee.
Specifications
Program's specifications can be found in the collective Description and Technical
Information sections of the Program's Announcement Letters.
Prohibited Uses
Licensee may not use or authorize others to use the Program if failure of the
Program could lead to death, bodily injury, or property or environmental damage.
Redistributables
If the Program includes components that are Redistributable, they will be identified
in the REDIST file that accompanies the Program. In addition to the license
rights granted in the Agreement, Licensee may distribute the Redistributables
subject to the following terms:
1) Redistribution must be in object code form only and must conform to all directions,
instruction and specifications in the Program's accompanying REDIST or documentation;
2) If the Program's accompanying documentation expressly allows Licensee to
modify the Redistributables, such modification must conform to all directions,
instruction and specifications in that documentation and these modifications,
if any, must be treated as Redistributables;
3) Redistributables may be distributed only as part of Licensee's application
that was developed using the Program ("Licensee's Application") and only to
support Licensee's customers in connection with their use of Licensee's Application.
Licensee's Application must constitute significant value add such that the Redistributables
are not a substantial motivation for the acquisition by end users of Licensee's
software product;
4) If the Redistributables include a Java Runtime Environment, Licensee must
also include other non-Java Redistributables with Licensee's Application, unless
the Application is designed to run only on general computer devices (for example,
laptops, desktops and servers) and not on handheld or other pervasive devices
(i.e., devices that contain a microprocessor but do not have computing as their
primary purpose);
5) Licensee may not remove any copyright or notice files contained in the Redistributables;
6) Licensee must hold IBM, its suppliers or distributors harmless from and against
any claim arising out of the use or distribution of Licensee's Application;
7) Licensee may not use the same path name as the original Redistributable files/modules;
8) Licensee may not use IBM's, its suppliers or distributors names or trademarks
in connection with the marketing of Licensee's Application without IBM's or
that supplier's or distributor's prior written consent;
9) IBM, its suppliers and distributors provide the Redistributables and related
documentation without obligation of support and "AS IS", WITH NO WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT
OR NON-INTERFERENCE AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE;
10) Licensee is responsible for all technical assistance for Licensee's Application
and any modifications to the Redistributables; and
11) Licensee's license agreement with the end user of Licensee's Application
must notify the end user that the Redistributables or their modifications may
not be i) used for any purpose other than to enable Licensee's Application,
ii) copied (except for backup purposes), iii) further distributed or transferred
without Licensee's Application or iv) reverse assembled, reverse compiled, or
otherwise translated except as specifically permitted by law and without the
possibility of a contractual waiver. Furthermore, Licensee's license agreement
must be at least as protective of IBM as the terms of this Agreement.

International Program License Agreement
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, DOCUMENTATION, AND PROOF OF ENTITLEMENT
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).
"Proof of Entitlement" ("PoE") - evidence of Licensee's Authorized Use. The
PoE is also evidence of Licensee's eligibility for warranty, future update prices,
if any, and potential special or promotional opportunities. If IBM does not
provide Licensee with a PoE, then IBM may accept as the PoE the original paid
sales receipt or other sales record from the party (either IBM or its reseller)
from whom Licensee obtained the Program, provided that it specifies the Program
name and Authorized Use obtained.
"Warranty Period" - one year, starting on the date the original Licensee is
granted the license.
2. Agreement Structure
This Agreement includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 - Country-unique Terms
(if any), the LI, and the PoE 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 PoE, 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 are based on Authorized Use obtained, 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 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 for the Program, provided that Licensee returns the Program and
PoE to the party from whom Licensee obtained it within 30 days of the date the
PoE was issued to Licensee. If the license is for a fixed term that is subject
to renewal, then Licensee may obtain a refund only if the Program and its PoE
are 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 and PoE. Immediately after the transfer, Licensee's license
terminates.
8. Warranty and Exclusions
8.1 Limited Warranty
IBM warrants that the Program, when used in its specified operating environment,
will conform to its specifications. The Program's specifications, and specified
operating environment information, can be found in documentation accompanying
the Program (such as a read-me file) or other information published by IBM (such
as an announcement letter). Licensee agrees that such documentation and other
Program content may be supplied only in the English language, unless otherwise
required by local law without the possibility of contractual waiver or limitation.
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. Licensee is responsible for the results obtained
from the use of the Program.
During the Warranty Period, IBM provides Licensee 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 Handbook
for further information at www.ibm.com/software/support.
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,
Licensee may return the Program and its PoE to the party (either IBM or its
reseller) from whom Licensee obtained it and receive a refund of the amount
Licensee paid. After returning the Program, Licensee's license terminates. If
Licensee downloaded the Program, Licensee should contact the party from whom
Licensee obtained it for instructions on how to obtain the refund.
8.2 Exclusions
THESE WARRANTIES ARE LICENSEE'S EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES
OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, 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 WARRANTY PERIOD. 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.
THESE WARRANTIES GIVE LICENSEE SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. LICENSEE MAY ALSO HAVE
OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE OR JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.
THE WARRANTIES IN THIS SECTION 8 (WARRANTY AND EXCLUSIONS) ARE PROVIDED SOLELY
BY IBM. THE DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SUBSECTION 8.2 (EXCLUSIONS), HOWEVER, ALSO APPLY
TO IBM'S SUPPLIERS OF THIRD PARTY CODE. THOSE SUPPLIERS PROVIDE SUCH CODE WITHOUT
WARRANTIES OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND. THIS PARAGRAPH DOES NOT NULLIFY IBM'S WARRANTY
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
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 warranty 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), "IPLA 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 IPLA 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 IPLA Program Terms.
Upon reasonable notice, IBM may verify Licensee's compliance with IPLA Program
Terms at all sites and for all environments in which Licensee uses (for any
purpose) Programs subject to IPLA 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 IPLA 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, other than as expressly
warranted in Section 8 (Warranty and Exclusions) above; 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.
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, duties, and obligations arising from, or relating
in any manner to, 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 courts of the country
in which Licensee obtained the Program license.
