Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / IBM

English term or phrase: even as

But the charges against IBM are distinct in that the biz provides salespeople with a contact that isn't a contract. It gives salespeople an Incentive Plan Letter (IPL) that spells out the terms of their compensation {even as} it considers those terms non-binding: when confronted with legal challenges to its commission payments, the tech titan has insisted that IPLs are not legally enforceable.

Chinese translation:尽管/然而

Explanation:
这里是个转折的意思，可以根据译文的语序译作“尽管”或者“然而”：

IBM为销售人员提供了一份IPL，{尽管}该公司认为其中的条款不具约束力，但是IPL中却详细说明了获得报酬的条件
IBM为销售人员提供了一份IPL，其中详细说明了获得报酬的条件，{然而}该公司认为其中的条款不具约束力

我自己倾向于“然而”的译法

另外，引文第一行里面的“contact"应该是CONTRACT吧？
