have been previously installed. Regardless of the Machine’s production status,
IBM’s appropriate warranty terms apply.
Limitation of LiabilityCircumstances may arise where, because of a default

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 greater of U.S.
$100,000 (or equivalent in local currency) or the charges (if recurring, 12
months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is the subject of the claim.
This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum
for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.
