software. You should review the entire agreement, including any supplemental license terms that
accompany the software and any linked terms, because all of the terms are important and together
create this agreement that applies to you. You can review linked terms by pasting the (aka.ms/) link
into a browser window.
By accepting this agreement or using the software, you agree to all of these terms, and consent to
the transmission of certain information during activation and during your use of the software as
per the privacy statement described in Section 3. If you do not accept and comply with these terms,
you may not use the software or its features. You may contact the device manufacturer or installer,
or your retailer if you purchased the software directly, to determine its return policy and return the
software or device for a refund or credit under that policy. You must comply with that policy, which
might require you to return the software with the entire device on which the software is installed for
a refund or credit, if any.
1. Overview.
a. Applicability. This agreement applies to the Windows software that is preinstalled on
your device, or acquired from a retailer and installed by you, the media on which you
received the software (if any), any fonts, icons, images or sound files included with the
software, and also any Microsoft updates, upgrades, supplements or services for the
software, unless other terms come with them. It also applies to Windows apps
developed by Microsoft that provide functionality such as mail, calendar, contacts, music
and news that are included with and are a part of Windows. If this agreement contains
terms regarding a feature or service not available on your device, then those terms do
not apply.
b. Additional terms. Depending on your device’s capabilities, how it is configured, and how
you use it, additional Microsoft and third party terms may apply to your use of certain
features, services and apps.
(i) Some Windows apps provide an access point to, or rely on, online services, and the
use of those services is sometimes governed by separate terms and privacy policies,
such as the Microsoft Services Agreement at (aka.ms/msa). You can view these
terms and policies by looking at the service terms of use or the app’s settings, as
applicable; please read them. The services may not be available in all regions.
(ii) The manufacturer or installer may also preinstall apps, which will be subject to
separate license terms.
31
Page 32
(iii) The software may include third party software such as Adobe Flash Player that is
licensed under its own terms. You agree that your use of Adobe Flash Player is
governed by the license terms for Adobe Systems Incorporated at
(aka.ms/adobeflash). Adobe and Flash are either registered trademarks or
trademarks of Adobe Systems Incorporated in the United States and/or other
countries.
(iv) The software may include third party programs that are licensed to you under this
agreement, or under their own terms. License terms, notices and
acknowledgements, if any, for the third party program can be view at
(aka.ms/thirdpartynotices).
2. Installation and Use Rights.
a. License. The software license is permanently assigned to the device with which you
acquired the software. You many only use the software on that device.
b.Device.In this agreement, “device” means a physical hardware system) with an internal
storage device capable of running the software. A hardware partition or blade is
considered to be a device.
c.Restrictions. The manufacturer or installer and Microsoft reserve all rights (such as rights
under intellectual property laws) not expressly granted in this agreement. For example,
this license does not give you any right to, and you may not:
(i) use or virtualize features of the software separately;
(ii) publish, copy (other than the permitted backup copy), rent, lease, or lend the
software;
(iii) transfer the software (except as permitted by this agreement);
(iv) work around any technical restrictions or limitations in the software;
(v) use the software as server software, for commercial hosting, make the software
available for simultaneous use by multiple users over a network, install the
software on a server and allow users to access it remotely, or install the software
on a device for use only by remote users;
(vi) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the software, or attempt to do so,
except and only to the extent that the foregoing restriction is (a) permitted by
applicable law; (b) permitted by licensing terms governing the use of open source
components that may be included with the software; or (c) required to debug
changes to any libraries licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License
which are included with and linked to by the software; and
(vii) when using Internet-based features you may not use those features in any way
that could interfere with anyone else’s use of them, or to try to gain access to or
use any service, data, account, or network, in an unauthorized manner.
d. Multi use scenarios.
(i) Multiple versions. If when acquiring the software, you were provided with
multiple versions (such as 32-bit and 64-bit versions), you may install and activate
only one of those versions at a time.
(ii) Multiple or pooled connections. Hardware or software you use to multiplex or
pool connections, or reduce the number of devices or users that access or use the
software, does not reduce the number of licenses you need. You may only use such
hardware or software if you have a license for each instance of the software you
are using.
32
Page 33
(iii) Device connections. You may allow up to 20 other devices to access the software
installed on the licensed device for the purpose of using the following software
features: file services, print services, Internet information services, and Internet
connection sharing and telephony services on the licensed device. The 20
connection limit applies to devices that access the software indirectly through
“multiplexing” or other software or hardware that pools connections. You may
allow any number of devices to access the software on the licensed device to
synchronize data between devices. This section does not mean, however, that you
have the right to install the software, or use the primary function of the software
(other than the features listed in this section), on any of these other devices.
(iv) Remote access. Users may access the licensed device from another device using
remote access technologies, but only on devices separately licensed to run the
same or higher edition of this software.
(v) Remote assistance. You may use remote assistance technologies to share an active
session without obtaining any additional licenses for the software. Remote
assistance allows one user to connect directly to another user’s computer, usually
to correct problems.
(vi) POS application. If the software is installed on a retail point of service device, you
may use the software with a point of service application (“POS Application”). A POS
Application is a software application which provides only the following functions:
(i) process sales and service transactions, scan and track inventory, record and/or
transmit customer information, and perform related management functions,
and/or (ii) provide information directly and indirectly to customers about available
products and services. You may use other programs with the software as long as
the other programs: (i) directly support the manufacturer’s specific use for the
device, or (ii) provide system utilities, resource management, or anti-virus or
similar protection. For clarification purposes, an automated teller machine (“ATM”)
is not a retail point of service device.
(vii) Cloud Computing Devices. If your device uses Internet browsing functionality to
connect to and access cloud hosted applications: (i) no desktop functions may run
locally on the device, and (ii) any files that result from the use of the desktop
functions may not be permanently stored on the system. “Desktop functions,” as
used in this agreement, means a consumer or business task or process performed
by a computer or computing device. This includes but is not limited to email, word
processing, spreadsheets, database, scheduling, network or internet browsing and
personal finance.
(viii) Desktop Functions. If your system performs desktop functions, then you must
ensure that they: (i) are only used to support the application, and (ii) operate
only when used with the application.
e.Specific Use. The manufacturer designed the licensed device for a specific use.
You may only use the software for that use.
f.Backup copy. You may make a single copy of the software for backup purposes,
and may also use that backup copy to transfer the software if it was acquired as stand-alone
software, as described below.
3. Privacy; Consent to Use of Data. Your privacy is important to us. Some of the software
features send or receive information when using those features. Many of these features can be
switched off in the user interface, or you can choose not to use them. By accepting this
agreement and using the software you agree that Microsoft may collect, use, and disclose the
information as described in the Microsoft Privacy Statement available at (aka.ms/privacy), and
as may be described in the user interface associated with the software features.
33
Page 34
4. Transfer
a. Software preinstalled on device. If you acquired the software preinstalled on a device,
you may transfer the license to use the software directly to another user, only with the
licensed device. The transfer must include the software and, if provided with the device,
an authentic Windows label including the product key. Before any permitted transfer,
the other party must agree that this agreement applies to the transfer and use of the
software.
b. Stand-alone software. If you acquired the software as stand-alone software, you may
transfer the software to another device that belongs to you. You may also transfer the
software to a device owned by someone else if (i) you are the first licensed user of the
software and (ii) the new user agrees to the terms of this agreement. You may use the
backup copy we allow you to make or the media that the software came on to transfer
the software. Every time you transfer the software to a new device, you must remove
the software from the prior device. You may not transfer the software to share licenses
between devices.
5. Authorized Software and Activation. You are authorized to use this software only if you are
properly licensed and the software has been properly activated with a genuine product key or
by other authorized method. When you connect to the Internet while using the software, the
software will automatically contact Microsoft or its affiliate to confirm the software is genuine
and the license is associated with the licensed device. You can also activate the software
manually by Internet or telephone. In either case, transmission of certain information will
occur, and Internet, telephone and SMS service charges may apply. During activation (or
reactivation that may be triggered by changes to your device’s components), the software may
determine that the installed instance of the software is counterfeit, improperly licensed or
includes unauthorized changes. If activation fails the software will attempt to repair itself by
replacing any tampered Microsoft software with genuine Microsoft software. You may also
receive reminders to obtain a proper license for the software. Successful activation does not
confirm that the software is genuine or properly licensed. You may not bypass or circumvent
activation. To help determine if your software is genuine and whether you are properly
licensed, see (aka.ms/genuine). Certain updates, support, and other services might only be
offered to users of genuine Microsoft software.
6. Updates. You may obtain updates only from Microsoft or authorized sources, and Microsoft
may need to update your system to provide you with those updates. The software periodically
checks for system and app updates, and may download and install them for you. To the extent
automatic updates are enabled on your device, by accepting this agreement, you agree to
receive these types of automatic updates without any additional notice.
7. Geographic and Export Restrictions. If your software is restricted for use in a particular
geographic region, then you may activate the software only in that region. You must also
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 geographic and export restrictions, visit (aka.ms/georestrict) and
(aka.ms/exporting).
8. Support and Refund Procedures. For the software generally, contact the device manufacturer
or installer for support options. Refer to the support number provided with the software. For
updates and supplements obtained directly from Microsoft, Microsoft may provide limited
support services for properly licensed software as described at (aka.ms/mssupport). If you are
seeking a refund, contact the manufacturer or installer to determine its refund policies. You
must comply with those policies, which might require you to return the software with the
entire device on which the software is installed for a refund.
9. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver if You Live in (or if a Business Your Principal
Place of Business is in) the United States.
34
Page 35
We hope we never have a dispute, but if we do, you and we agree to try for 60 days to resolve
it informally. If we can’t, you and we agree to binding individual arbitration before the
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) 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 and the arbitrator’s decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. Class action
lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney-general actions, and any other proceeding
where someone acts in a representative capacity aren’t allowed. Nor is combining individual
proceedings without the consent of all parties.“We,” “our,” and “us” includes Microsoft, the
device manufacturer, and software installer.
a.Disputes covered—everything except IP. The term “dispute” is as broad as it can be. It
includes any claim or controversy between you and the manufacturer or installer, or you
and Microsoft, concerning the software, its price, or this agreement, under any legal
theory including contract, warranty, tort, statute, or regulation, except disputes relating
to the enforcement or validity of your, your licensors’,our, or our licensors’ intellectual
property rights.
b. Mail a Notice of Dispute first. If you have a dispute and our customer service
representatives can’t resolve it, send a Notice of Dispute by U.S. Mail to the
manufacturer or installer, ATTN: LEGAL DEPARTMENT. If your dispute is with Microsoft,
mail it to Microsoft Corporation, ATTN: LCA ARBITRATION, One Microsoft Way, Redmond,
WA 98052-6399. Tell us your name, address, how to contact you, what the problem is,
and what you want. A form is available at (aka.ms/disputeform). We’ll do the same if we
have a dispute with you. After 60 days, you or we may start an arbitration if the dispute
is unresolved.
c. Small claims court option. Instead of mailing a Notice of Dispute, and if you meet the
court’s requirements, you may sue us in small claims court in your county of residence
(or if a business your principal place of business) or our principal place of business–King
County, Washington USA if your dispute is with Microsoft. We hope you’ll mail a Notice
of Dispute and give us 60 days to try to work it out, but you don’t have to before going to
small claims court.
d. Arbitration procedure. The AAA will conduct any arbitration under its Commercial
Arbitration Rules (or if you are an individual and use the software for personal or
household use, or if the value of the dispute is $75,000 USD or less whether or not you
are an individual or how you use the software, its Consumer Arbitration Rules). For more
information, see (aka.ms/adr) or call 1-800-778-7879. To start an arbitration, submit the
form available at (aka.ms/arbitration) to the AAA; mail a copy to the manufacturer or
installer (or to Microsoft if your dispute is with Microsoft). In a dispute involving $25,000
USD or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold
an in-person hearing instead. Any in-person hearing will take place in your county of
residence (of if a business your principal place of business) or our principal place of
business—King County, Washington if your dispute is with Microsoft. You choose. The
arbitrator may award the same damages to you individually as a court could. The
arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to you individually to satisfy
your individual claim.
e.Arbitration fees and payments.
(i) Disputes involving $75,000 USD or less. The manufacturer or installer (or
Microsoft if your dispute is with Microsoft) will promptly reimburse your filing fees
and pay the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. If you reject our last written
settlement offer made before the arbitrator was appointed, your dispute goes all
the way to an arbitrator’s decision (called an “award”), and the arbitrator awards
you more than this last written offer, the manufacturer or installer (or Microsoft if
your dispute is with Microsoft) will: (1) pay the greater of the award or $1,000
35
Page 36
USD; (2) pay your reasonable attorney’s fees, if any; and (3) reimburse any
expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney reasonably
accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration. The
arbitrator will determine the amounts unless you and we agree on them.
(ii) Disputes involving more than $75,000 USD. The AAA rules will govern payment of
filing fees and the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses.
(iii) Disputes involving any amount.If you start an arbitration we won’t seek our AAA
or arbitrator’s fees and expenses, or your filing fees we reimbursed, unless the
arbitrator finds the arbitration frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. If we
start an arbitration we will pay all filing, AAA, and arbitrator’s fees and expenses.
We won’t seek our attorney’s fees or expenses from you in any arbitration. Fees
and expenses are not counted in determining how much a dispute involves.
f.Must file within one year. You and we must file in small claims court or arbitration any
claim or dispute (except intellectual property disputes — see Section 9.a.) within one
year from when it first could be filed. Otherwise, it’s permanently barred.
g.Severability. If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or
some parts of a dispute, those parts won’t be arbitrated but will proceed in court, with
the rest proceeding in arbitration. If any other provision of Section 9 is found to be illegal
or unenforceable, that provision will be severed but the rest of Section 9 still applies.
h. Conflict with AAA rules.This agreement governs if it conflicts with the AAA’s Commercial
Arbitration Rules or Consumer Arbitration Rules.
i.Microsoft as party or third-party beneficiary. If Microsoft is the device manufacturer or
if you acquired the software from a retailer, Microsoft is a party to this agreement.
Otherwise, Microsoft is not a party but is a third-party beneficiary of your agreement
with the manufacturer or installer to resolve disputes through informal negotiation and
arbitration.
10. Governing Law. The laws of the state or country where you live (or if a business where your
principal place of business is located) govern all claims and disputes concerning the software,
its price, or this agreement, including breach of contract claims and claims under state
consumer protection laws, unfair competition laws, implied warranty laws, for unjust
enrichment, and in tort, regardless of conflict of law principles. In the United States, the FAA
governs all provisions relating to 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 or country. 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 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. References to “Limited Warranty” are references to the express warranty
provided by Microsoft or the manufacturer or installer. This warranty is given in addition
to other rights and remedies you may have under law, including your rights and remedies
in accordance with the statutory guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law.
In this section, “goods” refers to the software for which Microsoft or the manufacturer
or installer provides the express warranty. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot
be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or
refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or
damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to
be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
36

b. Canada. You may stop receiving updates on your device by turning off Internet access. If
and when you re-connect to the Internet, the software will resume checking for and
installing updates.
c. European Union. The academic use restriction in Section 12.d(i) below does not apply in
the jurisdictions listed on this site: (aka.ms/academicuse).
d. Germany and Austria.
(i) Warranty. The properly licensed software will perform substantially as described in
any Microsoft materials that accompany the software. However, the manufacturer
or installer, and Microsoft, give 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, the manufacturer or installer, or Microsoft is liable according to the
statutory law.
Subject to the preceding sentence, the manufacturer or installer, or Microsoft will only
be liable for slight negligence if the manufacturer or installer or 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, the manufacturer or installer
or Microsoft will not be liable for slight negligence.
e. Other regions. See (aka.ms/variations) for a current list of regional variations
