MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS

MICROSOFT MEDIA CREATION TOOL


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 Microsofts
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.
1. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.
a) General. You may install and use one copy of the software to develop and test
your applications, and solely for use on Windows. You may make one backup copy of the
software for the sole purpose of reinstalling the software.
b) Third Party Software. The software may include third party applications that
Microsoft, not the third party, licenses to you under this agreement. Any included notices
for third party applications are for your information only.
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 Microsofts 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 Microsofts
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. 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 (aka.ms/exporting).
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. This Section applies if you live in
(or, if a business, your principal place of business is in) the United States. If you and
Microsoft have a dispute, you and Microsoft agree to try for 60 days to resolve it informally. If
you and Microsoft cant, you and Microsoft agree to binding individual arbitration before the
American Arbitration Association under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), and not to sue in
court in front of a judge or jury. Instead, a neutral arbitrator will decide. Class action
lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney-general actions, and any other proceeding
where someone acts in a representative capacity are not allowed; nor is combining individual
proceedings without the consent of all parties. The complete Arbitration Agreement contains
more terms and is at aka.ms/arb-agreement-1. You and Microsoft agree to these terms.
8. TERMINATION. Without prejudice to any other rights, Microsoft may terminate this
agreement if you fail to comply with any of its terms or conditions. In such event, you must
destroy all copies of the software and all of its component parts.
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. 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.
12. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. THE SOFTWARE IS LICENSED AS IS. YOU BEAR THE RISK
OF USING IT. MICROSOFT GIVES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES, OR
CONDITIONS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS, MICROSOFT
EXCLUDES ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
13. LIMITATION ON AND EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES. IF YOU HAVE ANY BASIS FOR
RECOVERING DAMAGES DESPITE THE PRECEDING DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY, YOU CAN
RECOVER FROM MICROSOFT AND ITS SUPPLIERS ONLY DIRECT DAMAGES UP TO U.S. $5.00.
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 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.
