Common use of Preliminary Builds Clause in Contracts

Preliminary Builds. Vision will deliver to IBM builds of BLS/WAS-AE after Visions's code freeze (which is equivalent to the code and unit test completed phase). Based upon driver stability, the Vision Development Managers will determine which builds are appropriate for delivery by Vision to IBM. This early access will allow IBM to start both analysis of the new features and test for backward compatibility early on in the release cycle. IBM realized that these are early builds and as such have not completed Vision's full test cycle. Vision will provide IBM with functional restrictions associated with these early builds.
