MICROSOFT SOFTWARE
LICENSE TERMS
IF YOU LIVE
IN (OR ARE A BUSINESS WITH A PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS IN) THE UNITED STATES,
PLEASE READ THE “BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER” SECTION BELOW. IT
AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED.
These license terms are an agreement between you
and Microsoft Corporation (or one of its affiliates). They apply to the
software named above and any Microsoft services or software updates (except to
the extent such services or updates are accompanied by new or additional
terms, in which case those different terms apply prospectively and do not alter
your or Microsoft’s rights relating to pre-updated software or services). IF YOU COMPLY WITH THESE LICENSE TERMS,
YOU HAVE THE RIGHTS BELOW. BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT THESE
TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THEM, DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE. INSTEAD,
RETURN IT TO APPLE INC. ("APPLE") FOR A REFUND OR CREDIT IF
APPLICABLE.
1. INSTALLATION
AND USE RIGHTS. You may install and use one copy of the software on a
macOS-based device as permitted by Apple’s app store usage rules.
a) Third
Party Software. The software may include third party applications that are
licensed to you under this agreement or under their own terms. License terms,
notices, and acknowledgements, if any, for the third party applications may be
accessible online at https://aka.ms/thirdpartynotices
or in an accompanying notices file. Even if such applications are governed by other
agreements, the disclaimer, limitations on, and exclusions of damages below
also apply to the extent allowed by applicable law.
2. DATA
COLLECTION. The software may collect information about you and your use of
the software and send that to Microsoft. Microsoft may use this information to
provide services and improve Microsoft’s products and services. Your opt-out
rights, if any, are described in the product documentation. Some features in
the software may enable collection of data from users of your applications that
access or use the software. If you use these features to enable data collection
in your applications, you must comply with applicable law, including getting
any required user consent, and maintain a prominent privacy policy that
accurately informs users about how you use, collect, and share their data. You
can learn more about Microsoft’s data collection and use in the product
documentation and the Microsoft Privacy Statement at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=521839. You agree to
comply with all applicable provisions of the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
3. SCOPE
OF LICENSE. The software is licensed, not sold. Microsoft reserves all
other rights. Unless applicable law gives you more rights despite this
limitation, you will not (and have no right to):
a)
work around any
technical limitations in the software that only allow you to use it in certain
ways;
b)
reverse
engineer, decompile or disassemble the software;
c)
remove,
minimize, block, or modify any notices of Microsoft or its suppliers in the
software;
d)
use the
software in any way that is against the law or to create or propagate malware;
or
e)
share, publish,
distribute, or lend the software, provide the software as a stand-alone hosted
solution for others to use, or transfer the software or this agreement to any
third party.
4.
TRANSFER
TO ANOTHER DEVICE. You may uninstall
the software and install it on another device for your use. You may not share
this license on multiple devices.
5. EXPORT
RESTRICTIONS. You must comply with all domestic and international export
laws and regulations that apply to the software, which include restrictions on
destinations, end users, and end use. For further information on export
restrictions, visit https://aka.ms/exporting.
6. SUPPORT
SERVICES. Microsoft is not obligated under this agreement to provide any
support services for the software. Any support provided is “as is”, “with all
faults”, and without warranty of any kind.
7. UPDATES.
The software may periodically check for updates, and download and install them
for you. You may obtain updates only from Microsoft or authorized sources.
Microsoft may need to update your system to provide you with updates. You agree
to receive these automatic updates without any additional notice. Updates may
not include or support all existing software features, services, or peripheral
devices.
9. ENTIRE
AGREEMENT. This agreement, and any other terms Microsoft may provide for
supplements, updates, or third-party applications, is the entire agreement for
the software.
10. APPLICABLE
LAW AND PLACE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES. If you acquired the software in the
United States or Canada, the laws of the state or province where you live (or,
if a business, where your principal place of business is located) govern the
interpretation of this agreement, claims for its breach, and all other claims
(including consumer protection, unfair competition, and tort claims),
regardless of conflict of laws principles, except that the FAA governs
everything related to arbitration. If you acquired the software in any other
country, its laws apply, except that the FAA governs everything related to
arbitration. If U.S. federal jurisdiction exists, you and Microsoft consent to
exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal court in King County,
Washington for all disputes heard in court (excluding arbitration). If not, you
and Microsoft consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the Superior Court
of King County, Washington for all disputes heard in court (excluding
arbitration).
11. THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY.
You agree that Apple and its subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of this
agreement, and Apple has the right to enforce this agreement.
12. CONSUMER
RIGHTS; REGIONAL VARIATIONS. This agreement describes certain legal rights.
You may have other rights, including consumer rights, under the laws of your
state, province, or country. Separate and apart from your relationship with
Microsoft, you may also have rights with respect to the party from which you
acquired the software. This agreement does not change those other rights if the
laws of your state, province, or country do not permit it to do so. For
example, if you acquired the software in one of the below regions, or mandatory
country law applies, then the following provisions apply to you:
a) Australia.
You have statutory guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law and nothing in
this agreement is intended to affect those rights.
b) Canada.
If you acquired this software in Canada, you may stop receiving updates by
turning off the automatic update feature, disconnecting your device from the
Internet (if and when you re-connect to the Internet, however, the software
will resume checking for and installing updates), or uninstalling the software.
The product documentation, if any, may also specify how to turn off updates for
your specific device or software.
c) Germany
and Austria.
i. Warranty.
The properly licensed software will perform
substantially as described in any Microsoft materials that accompany the
software. However, Microsoft gives no contractual guarantee in relation to the
licensed software.
ii. Limitation of Liability. In case
of intentional conduct, gross negligence, claims based on the Product Liability
Act, as well as, in case of death or personal or physical injury, Microsoft is
liable according to the statutory law.
Subject to the foregoing clause ii.,
Microsoft will only be liable for slight negligence if Microsoft is in breach
of such material contractual obligations, the fulfillment of which facilitate
the due performance of this agreement, the breach of which would endanger the
purpose of this agreement and the compliance with which a party may constantly
trust in (so-called "cardinal obligations"). In other cases of slight
negligence, Microsoft will not be liable for slight negligence.
13. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. THE SOFTWARE IS LICENSED “AS IS.” YOU BEAR THE
RISK OF USING IT. IF DESIRED, YOU MAY NOTIFY APPLE FOR A REFUND OF THE PURCHASE
PRICE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, APPLE WILL HAVE NO
OTHER WARRANTY OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER. MICROSOFT GIVES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES,
GUARANTEES, OR CONDITIONS. YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL CONSUMER RIGHTS OR STATUTORY
GUARANTEES UNDER YOUR LOCAL LAWS THAT THIS AGREEMENT CANNOT CHANGE. TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER YOUR LOCAL LAWS, MICROSOFT EXCLUDES ALL IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT.
14. LIMITATION ON AND EXCLUSION OF REMEDIES AND DAMAGES. IF YOU HAVE ANY
BASIS FOR RECOVERING DAMAGES DESPITE THE PRECEDING DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY, YOU
CAN RECOVER FROM APPLE, MICROSOFT, AND MICROSOFT’S SUPPLIERS ONLY DIRECT
DAMAGES UP TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE. YOU CANNOT RECOVER ANY
OTHER DAMAGES, INCLUDING CONSEQUENTIAL, LOST PROFITS, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.
This limitation applies to (a) anything related to
the software, services, content (including code) on third party Internet sites,
or third party applications; and (b) claims for breach of
contract, warranty, guarantee, or condition; strict liability, negligence, or
other tort; or any other claim; in each case to the extent permitted by
applicable law. It also
applies even if Microsoft or Apple knew or should have known about the
possibility of the damages. The above limitation or exclusion may not apply to
you because your state, province, or country may not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental, consequential, or other damages.
Please note: As this
software is distributed in Canada, some of the clauses in this agreement are
provided below in French.
Remarque: Ce
logiciel étant distribué au Canada, certaines des clauses dans ce contrat sont
fournies ci-dessous en français.
EXONÉRATION DE
GARANTIE. Le logiciel visé par une licence est offert « tel quel ». Toute
utilisation de ce logiciel est à votre seule risque et péril. Microsoft
n’accorde aucune autre garantie expresse. Vous pouvez bénéficier de droits
additionnels en vertu du droit local sur la protection des consommateurs, que
ce contrat ne peut modifier. La ou elles sont permises par le droit locale, les
garanties implicites de qualité marchande, d’adéquation à un usage particulier
et d’absence de contrefaçon sont exclues.
LIMITATION DES DOMMAGES-INTÉRÊTS
ET EXCLUSION DE RESPONSABILITÉ POUR LES DOMMAGES. Vous pouvez obtenir de
Microsoft et de ses fournisseurs une indemnisation en cas de dommages directs
uniquement à hauteur de 5,00 $ US. Vous ne pouvez prétendre à aucune
indemnisation pour les autres dommages, y compris les dommages spéciaux,
indirects ou accessoires et pertes de bénéfices.
Cette limitation
concerne:
• tout
ce qui est relié au logiciel, aux services ou au contenu (y compris le code)
figurant sur des sites Internet tiers ou dans des programmes tiers; et
• les
réclamations au titre de violation de contrat ou de garantie, ou au titre de
responsabilité stricte, de négligence ou d’une autre faute dans la limite
autorisée par la loi en vigueur.
Elle s’applique
également, même si Microsoft connaissait ou devrait connaître l’éventualité
d’un tel dommage. Si votre pays n’autorise pas l’exclusion ou la limitation de
responsabilité pour les dommages indirects, accessoires ou de quelque nature
que ce soit, il se peut que la limitation ou l’exclusion ci-dessus ne
s’appliquera pas à votre égard.
EFFET JURIDIQUE. Le
présent contrat décrit certains droits juridiques. Vous pourriez avoir d’autres
droits prévus par les lois de votre pays. Le présent contrat ne modifie pas les
droits que vous confèrent les lois de votre pays si celles-ci ne le permettent
pas.
