These license terms are an agreement between Microsoft Corporation (or based on where you 
live, one of its affiliates) and you. Please read them. They apply to the software 
named above, which includes the media on which you received it, if any. The terms also apply to 
any Microsoft

• updates,
• supplements,
• Internet-based services, and
• support services

for this software, unless other terms accompany those items. If so, those terms apply.

BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT 
ACCEPT THEM, DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE.

If you comply with these license terms, you have the rights below.

1. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. 

a. Installation and Use.

i. You may install and use any number of copies of the software on your devices.

b. Third Party Programs. The software may include third party programs that Microsoft, 
not the third party, licenses to you under this agreement. Notices, if any, for the third 
party program are included for your information only.

2. ADDITIONAL LICENSING REQUIREMENTS AND/OR USE RIGHTS.

a. Distributable Code.

i.	Right to Use and Distribute. You are permitted to distribute the software in programs you 
develop if you comply with the terms below:

* You may copy and distribute the object code form of the software (“Distributable Code”) in 
programs you develop. You may not modify the software.
* You may permit distributors of your programs to copy and distribute the Distributable Code 
as part of those programs.
ii.	Distribution Requirements. For any Distributable Code you distribute, you must
* add significant primary functionality to it in your programs;
* require distributors and external end users to agree to terms that protect it at least as 
much as this agreement;
* display your valid copyright notice on your programs; and
* indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Microsoft from any claims, including attorneys’ fees, 
related to the distribution or use of your programs.
iii.	Distribution Restrictions. You may not

come from or are endorsed by Microsoft;
* include Distributable Code in malicious, deceptive or unlawful programs; or
* modify or distribute the source code of any Distributable Code so that any part of it 
becomes subject to an Excluded License. An Excluded License is one that requires, as a 
condition of use, modification or distribution, that
* the code be disclosed or distributed in source code form; or
* others have the right to modify it.


3. SCOPE OF LICENSE. The software is licensed, not sold. This agreement only gives you 
some rights to use the software. Microsoft reserves all other rights. Unless applicable law 
gives you more rights despite this limitation, you may use the software only as expressly 
permitted in this agreement. In doing so, you must comply with any technical limitations in 
the software that only allow you to use it in certain ways. You may not

• work around any technical limitations in the software;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except and only to the extent 
that applicable law expressly permits, despite this limitation;
• make more copies of the software than specified in this agreement or allowed by 
applicable law, despite this limitation;
• publish the software for others to copy;
• rent, lease or lend the software;
• transfer the software or this agreement to any third party; or
• use the software for commercial software hosting services.

4. EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. The software is subject to United States export laws and 
regulations. You must comply with all domestic and international export laws and 
regulations that apply to the software. These laws include restrictions on destinations, end 
users and end use. For additional information, see www.microsoft.com/exporting.

5. SUPPORT SERVICES. Because this software is “as is,” we may not provide support 
services for it.

6. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This agreement, and the terms for supplements, updates, Internet-
based services and support services that you use, are the entire agreement for the software 
and support services.

7. APPLICABLE LAW.

a. United States. If you acquired the software in the United States, Washington state law 
governs the interpretation of this agreement and applies to claims for breach of it, 
regardless of conflict of laws principles. The laws of the state where you live govern all 
other claims, including claims under state consumer protection laws, unfair competition 
laws, and in tort.

b. Outside the United States. If you acquired the software in any other country, the laws of 
that country apply.

8. LEGAL EFFECT. This agreement describes certain legal rights. You may have other rights 
under the laws of your country. You may also have rights with respect to the party from 
whom you acquired the software. This agreement does not change your rights under the laws 
of your country if the laws of your country do not permit it to do so.

9. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. THE SOFTWARE IS LICENSED “AS-IS.” YOU 
BEAR THE RISK OF USING IT. MICROSOFT GIVES NO EXPRESS 
WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES OR CONDITIONS. YOU MAY HAVE 
ADDITIONAL CONSUMER RIGHTS UNDER YOUR LOCAL LAWS WHICH THIS 
AGREEMENT CANNOT CHANGE. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER 
YOUR LOCAL LAWS, MICROSOFT EXCLUDES THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES 
OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-
INFRINGEMENT.

10. LIMITATION ON AND EXCLUSION OF REMEDIES AND DAMAGES. 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

• anything related to the software, services, content (including code) on third party Internet 
sites, or third party programs, and
• claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, guarantee or condition, strict liability, 
negligence, or other tort 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 country may 
not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or other damages.

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

Remarque : Ce logiciel étant distribué au Québec, 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.
