MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS

MICROSOFT OFFICE LTSC 2024 PREVIEW

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.
1. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.
a) General. You may install and use any number of copies of the software on your
devices, solely to demonstrate and internally evaluate it for your internal
business purposes. You may not use the software in a live operating environment
unless Microsoft permits you to do so under another agreement.
b) Product Keys. The software requires a key to install or access it. You are
responsible for the use of any product key(s) assigned to you and must not share
the key(s) with third parties. You may use as many copies of the software as the
product key permits.
c) Third Party Components. The software may include third party components with
separate legal notices or governed by other agreements, as may be described in the
ThirdPartyNotices file(s) accompanying the software.
2. TIME-SENSITIVE SOFTWARE.
a) Term. The term of this agreement is until 13/01/2025 (day/month/year). Microsoft
may extend this agreement in its discretion.
b) Notice. You may receive periodic reminder notices of this date through the
software.
c) Access to data. You may not be able to access data used in the software when it
stops running.
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, or otherwise attempt to
derive the source code for the software, except and to the extent required by third
party licensing terms governing use of certain open source components that may be
included in 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 lease the software, provide the software as a
stand-alone offering for others to use, or transfer the software or this agreement
to any third party.
4. PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE. The software is a pre-release version. It may not operate
correctly. It may be different from the commercially released version.
5. FEEDBACK. If you give feedback about the software to Microsoft, you give to
Microsoft, without charge, the right to use, share and commercialize your feedback
in any way and for any purpose. You will not give feedback that is subject to a
license that requires Microsoft to license its software or documentation to third
parties because Microsoft includes your feedback in them. These rights survive this
agreement.
6. DATA.
a) 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 our products and services. You may opt-out of many of
these scenarios, but not all, as described in the product documentation. There are
also some features in the software that may enable you to collect data from users
of your applications. If you use these features to enable data collection in your
applications, you must comply with applicable law, including providing appropriate
notices to users of your applications. You can learn more about data collection and
use in the help documentation and the privacy statement at https://aka.ms/privacy.
Your use of the software operates as your consent to these practices.
b) Processing of Personal Data. To the extent Microsoft is a processor or
subprocessor of personal data in connection with the software, Microsoft makes the
commitments in the European Union General Data Protection Regulation Terms of the
Online Services Terms to all customers effective May 25, 2018, at
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/gdpr.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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 can’t, 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 https://aka.ms/arb-agreement-4. You and
Microsoft agree to these terms.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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).
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.

Please note: As this software is distributed in Canada, some of the clauses in this
agreement are provided below in French.

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.
