Disclaimer

Software prices and availability may change without notice. Site license deals and special purchase deals often depend on sufficient demand within the University and the academic community as a whole, therefore the discounted prices available through these schemes cannot be guaranteed to be available indefinitely.

It is up to the individual to choose software that meets their requirements. IS is not responsible for errors or lack of functionality in externally-produced software.

The provision under a special deal or site license does not necessarily imply support and/or endorsement by IS.
