Footnotes

¹ Benefit offerings may not currently be available in all countries, on all platforms or may be delivered differently. Additional terms and conditions may apply to any specific benefit or geography. Benefits are subject to change without notice at the discretion of the IBM Corporation. Fees are quoted in US dollars or local currency and are subject to change. Fees may vary in some countries due to differences in comparative costs of living and fluctuations in local exchange rates. Fees are displayed in the online ordering system at the time of ordering. Purchase provides access to the benefit for a 12 month period and purchase can be made at any time. If any authority imposes a duty, tax, levy, or fee, excluding those based on IBM's net income, upon any transaction, then you agree to pay that amount.

² Single incidents are not available for purchase. Your Authorized Profile Administrator will be authorized to submit e-mail questions, but may delegate that authority to other registered users at your Location. Unused incidents within the twelve-month term will not be refunded. If IBM cannot provide an answer to your question/problem, the inquiry will not be deducted from your four incidents. In some cases, you may be directed to contact your country's local support organization if the problem is a defect.
