upon delivery (shrink-wrap), the terms and conditions set forth in this Contract shall
supersede and govern the license terms between Customers and Vendor for HPE Branded
Software. It is the Customer's responsibility to read the Shrink/Click-wrap License
Agreement and determine if the Customer accepts the license terms. If the Customer does
not agree with the license terms, then Customer shall be responsible for negotiating with

Shrink/Click Wrap License Agreements, Service Agreements or linked or supplemental
documents amend or diminish the rights of DIR Customers or the State, such conflicting or
additional terms shall not take precedence over the terms of this Contract.

referenced documents comprising this contract; provided further that any update to such
linked documents shall only apply to purchases or leases of the associated Vendor product or
service offering after the effective date of the update; and, provided further,that, if Vendor
has responded to a solicitation or request for pricing, no update of such linked documents on
or after the initial date of Vendor's initial response shall apply to that purchase unless Vendor
directly informs Customer of the update before the purchase is consummated.
In the event that different or additional terms or conditions would otherwise result from
accessing a linked document, agreement to said linked document shall not be effective until
reviewed and approved in writing by Customer's authorized signatory.
Vendor shall not, without prior written agreement from Customer's authorized signatory,
require any document that: 1) diminishes the rights, benefits, or protections of the
Customer, or that alters the definitions, measurements, or method for determining any
authorized rights, benefits, or protections of the Customer; or 2) imposes additional costs,
burdens, or obligations upon Customer, or that alters the definitions, measurements, or
method for determining any authorized costs, burdens, or obligations upon Customer.
If Vendor attempts to do any of the foregoing, the prohibited documents will be void and
inapplicable to the contract between DIR and Vendor or Vendor and Customer, and Vendor
will nonetheless be obligated to perform the contract without regard to the prohibited
documents, unless Customer elects instead to terminate the contract, which in such case
may be identified as a termination for cause against Vendor.
