obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a

where applicable, before service is provided:
a.
follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request
procedures that IBM or your reseller provides;

Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential,
proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return
to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information
from the Machine prior to its return.

liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance,
regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM

or tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or limited by
applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than
1.
damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property
and tangible personal property; and

the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if
recurring, 12 months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the
claim. For purposes of this item, the term “Machine” includes Machine
