contractor or subcontractor (at any tier), then the Government's
rights in Software and accompanying documentation will be only as set
forth in this Agreement; this is in accordance with 48 CFR 227.7201

omitted, unless omission would frustrate the intent of the parties, in
which case this Agreement will immediately terminate.
11. Integration.† This Agreement is the entire agreement between you
and BEA relating to its subject matter.† It supersedes all prior or
contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals,
representations and warranties and prevails over any conflicting or
additional terms of any quote, order, acknowledgment, or other
