MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS

WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM

IF YOU LIVE IN (OR IF YOUR PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS IS IN) THE UNITED STATES, PLEASE READ THE
BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION 11. IT AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES
ARE RESOLVED.

Thank you for choosing Microsoft!

Depending on how you obtained the Windows software, this is a license agreement between (i) you and
the device manufacturer or software installer that distributes the software with your device; or (ii) you
and Microsoft Corporation (or, based on where you live or, if a business, where your principal place of
business is located, one of its affiliates) if you acquired the software from a retailer. Microsoft is the
device manufacturer for devices produced by Microsoft or one of its affiliates, and Microsoft is the
retailer if you acquired the software directly from Microsoft. Note that if you are a volume license
customer, use of this software is subject to your volume license agreement rather than this agreement.

This agreement describes your rights and the conditions upon which you may use the Windows
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, contacts, music and
photos 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. Additional Microsoft and third-party terms may apply to your use of certain
features, services and apps, depending on your device’s capabilities, how it is configured, and how you
use it. Please be sure to read them.

(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. The services may not be available in all regions.

(ii) Microsoft, the device manufacturer or installer may include additional apps, which will be subject
to separate license terms and privacy policies.

(iii) The software includes Adobe Flash Player that is licensed under terms from 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
programs can be viewed at (aka.ms/thirdpartynotices).

(v) To the extent included with Windows, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote are licensed for your
personal, non-commercial use, unless you have commercial use rights under a separate agreement.
2. Installation and Use Rights.

a. License. The software is licensed, not sold. Under this agreement, we grant you the right to install
and run one instance of the software on your device (the licensed device), for use by one person at a
time, so long as you comply with all the terms of this agreement. Updating or upgrading from non-
genuine software with software from Microsoft or authorized sources does not make your original
version or the updated/upgraded version genuine, and in that situation, you do not have a license to use
the software.

b. Device. In this agreement, “device” means a hardware system (whether physical or virtual) with an
internal storage device capable of running the software. A hardware partition or blade is considered to
be a device.

c. Restrictions. The device 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.

(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. 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) Use in a virtualized environment. This license allows you to install only one instance of the
software for use on one device, whether that device is physical or virtual. If you want to use the
software on more than one virtual device, you must obtain a separate license for each instance.

(v) Remote access. No more than once every 90 days, you may designate a single user who physically
uses the licensed device as the licensed user. The licensed user may access the licensed device from
another device using remote access technologies. Other users, at different times, 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.

(vi) 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.
e. 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 in
Section 4 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 (aka.ms/privacy), and as may be described in the user interface associated
with the software features.

4. Transfer. The provisions of this section do not apply if you acquired the software in Germany or in
any of the countries listed on this site (aka.ms/transfer), in which case any transfer of the software to a
third party, and the right to use it, must comply with applicable law.

a. Software preinstalled on device. If you acquired the software preinstalled on a device (and also if
you upgraded from 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 (and also if you
upgraded from software you acquired 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 conduct activation to associate it with a certain 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. The software periodically checks for system and app updates, and downloads and installs
them for you. You may obtain updates only from Microsoft or authorized sources, and Microsoft may
need to update your system to provide you with those updates. By accepting this agreement, you agree
to receive these types of automatic updates without any additional notice.

7. Downgrade Rights. If you acquired a device from a manufacturer or installer with a Professional
version of Windows preinstalled on it and it is configured to run in full feature mode, you may use either
a Windows 8.1 Pro or Windows 7 Professional version, but only for so long as Microsoft provides
support for that earlier version as set forth in (aka.ms/windows lifecycle). This agreement applies to
your use of the earlier versions. If the earlier version includes different components, any terms for those
components in the agreement that comes with the earlier version apply to your use of such
components. Neither the device manufacturer or installer, nor Microsoft, is obligated to supply earlier
versions to you. You must obtain the earlier version separately, for which you may be charged a fee. At
any time, you may replace an earlier version with the version you originally acquired.

8. 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).

9. Warranty, Disclaimer, Remedy, Damages and Procedures.

a. Limited Warranty. Depending on how you obtained the Windows software, Microsoft, or the
device manufacturer or installer, warrants that properly licensed software will perform substantially as
described in any Microsoft materials that accompany the software. This limited warranty does not cover
problems that you cause, that arise when you fail to follow instructions, or that are caused by events
beyond the reasonable control of Microsoft, or the device manufacturer or installer. The limited
warranty starts when the first user acquires the software, and lasts for one year if acquired from
Microsoft, or for 90 days if acquired from a device manufacturer or installer. If you obtain updates or
supplements directly from Microsoft during the 90-day term of the device manufacturer’s or installer’s
limited warranty, Microsoft provides the limited warranty for those updates or supplements. Any
supplements, updates, or replacement software that you may receive from Microsoft during that year
are also covered, but only for the remainder of that one-year period if acquired from Microsoft, or for
90 days if acquired from a device manufacturer or installer, or for 30 days, whichever is longer.
Transferring the software will not extend the limited warranty.
b. Disclaimer. Neither Microsoft, nor the device manufacturer or installer, gives any other express
warranties, guarantees, or conditions. Microsoft and the device manufacturer and installer exclude all
implied warranties and conditions, including those of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
and non-infringement. If your local law does not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, then any
implied warranties, guarantees, or conditions last only during the term of the limited warranty and are
limited as much as your local law allows. If your local law requires a longer limited warranty term,
despite this agreement, then that longer term will apply, but you can recover only the remedies this
agreement allows.

c. Limited Remedy. If Microsoft, or the device manufacturer or installer, breaches its limited
warranty, it will, at its election, either: (i) repair or replace the software at no charge, or (ii) accept
return of the software (or at its election the device on which the software was preinstalled) for a refund
of the amount paid, if any. The device manufacturer or installer (or Microsoft if you acquired them
directly from Microsoft) may also repair or replace supplements, updates, and replacement of the
software or provide a refund of the amount you paid for them, if any. These are your only remedies for
breach of warranty. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state or country to country.

d. Damages. Except for any repair, replacement, or refund that Microsoft, or the device manufacturer
or installer, may provide, you may not under this limited warranty, under any other part of this
agreement, or under any theory, recover any damages or other remedy, including lost profits or direct,
consequential, special, indirect, or incidental damages. The damage exclusions and remedy limitations in
this agreement apply even if repair, replacement, or a refund does not fully compensate you for any
losses, if Microsoft, or the device manufacturer or installer, knew or should have known about the
possibility of the damages, or if the remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some states and countries do
not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential, or other damages, so those limitations
or exclusions may not apply to you. If your local law allows you to recover damages from Microsoft, or
the device manufacturer or installer, even though this agreement does not, you cannot recover more
than you paid for the software (or up to $50 USD if you acquired the software for no charge).

e. Warranty and Refund Procedures. For service or refund, you must provide a copy of your proof of
purchase and comply with Microsoft’s return policies if you acquired the software from Microsoft, or
the device manufacturer’s or installer’s return policies if you acquired the software from a device
manufacturer or installer. If you purchased stand-alone software, those return policies might require
you to uninstall the software and return it to Microsoft. If you acquired the software pre-installed on a
device, those return policies may require return of the software with the entire device on which the
software is installed; the certificate of authenticity label including the product key (if provided with your
device) must remain affixed. Contact the device manufacturer or installer at the address or toll-free
telephone number provided with your device to find out how to obtain warranty service for the
software. If Microsoft is your device manufacturer or if you acquired the software from a retailer,
contact Microsoft at:

(i) United States and Canada. For warranty service or information about how to obtain a refund for
software acquired in the United States or Canada, contact Microsoft via telephone at (800) MICROSOFT;
via mail at Microsoft Customer Service and Support, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399; or
visit (aka.ms/nareturns).

(ii) Europe, Middle East, and Africa. If you acquired the software in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa,
contact either Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, Customer Care Centre, Atrium Building Block B,
Carmanhall Road, Sandyford Industrial Estate, Dublin 18, Ireland, or the Microsoft affiliate serving your
country (aka.ms/msoffices).

(iii) Australia. If you acquired the software in Australia, contact Microsoft to make a claim at 13 20 58;
or Microsoft Pty Ltd, 1 Epping Road, North Ryde NSW 2113 Australia.

(iv) Other countries. If you acquired the software in another country, contact the Microsoft affiliate
serving your country (aka.ms/msoffices).

10. Support.

a. For software preinstalled on a device. 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).

b. For software acquired from a retailer. Microsoft provides limited support services for properly
licensed software as described at (aka.ms/mssupport).

11. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver if You Live in (or, if a Business, Your Principal Place of
Business is in) the United States.

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 review 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 device 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 aNotice 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 device manufacturer or installer, ATTN: LEGAL
DEPARTMENT. If your dispute is with Microsoft, mail it to Microsoft Corporation, ATTN: CELA
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.

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 device
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 (or, 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. Under AAA rules, the arbitrator rules on his or her own
jurisdiction, including the arbitrability of any claim. But a court has exclusive authority to enforce the
prohibition on arbitration on a class-wide basis or in a representative capacity.
e. Arbitration fees and payments.

(i) Disputes involving $75,000 USD or less. The device 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 device manufacturer or installer (or
Microsoft if your dispute is with Microsoft) will: (1) pay the greater of the award or $1,000 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.

(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.

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 11.a.) within one year from when it first
could be filed. Otherwise, it’s permanently barred.

g. Severability. If any part of Section 11 (Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver) is found to be
illegal or unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect (with an arbitration award issued before any
court proceeding begins), except that if a finding of partial illegality or unenforceability would allow
class-wide or representative arbitration, Section 11 will be unenforceable in its entirety.

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 device manufacturer or installer to
resolve disputes through informal negotiation and arbitration.

12. 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 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.

13. 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 device manufacturer or installer. This warranty is given in addition to other rights and
remedies you may have under law, including your rights and remedies under the Australian Consumer
Law consumer guarantees. Nothing in this agreement limits or changes those rights and remedies. In
particular:.

(i) the provisions excluding and limiting warranties, guarantees, damages and remedies, and limiting
duration of your rights under local laws in Section 9 headed Warranty, Disclaimer, Remedy, Damages
and Procedures do not apply to the Australian Consumer Law consumer guarantees and your rights and
remedies under them;

(ii) support and refund policies referred to in Section 10 are subject to the Australian Consumer Law;

(iii) the Australian Consumer Law consumer guarantees apply to the evaluation software described in
Section 14 d (ii) and the preview software described in Section 14 d (iv); and

(iv) our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. In
this section, “goods” refers to the software for which Microsoft, the device manufacturer or installer
provides the express warranty. 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.

To learn more about your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, please review the information at
(aka.ms/acl).
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 14.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 device 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 device manufacturer or
installer, or Microsoft is liable according to the statutory law.

Subject to the preceding sentence, the device manufacturer or installer, or Microsoft will only be liable
for slight negligence if the device 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 device
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.

14. Additional Notices.

a. Networks, data and Internet usage. Some features of the software and services accessed through
the software may require your device to access the Internet. Your access and usage (including charges)
may be subject to the terms of your cellular or internet provider agreement. Certain features of the
software may help you access the Internet more efficiently, but the software’s usage calculations may
be different from your service provider’s measurements. You are always responsible for (i)
understanding and complying with the terms of your own plans and agreements, and (ii) any issues
arising from using or accessing networks, including public/open networks. You may use the software to
connect to networks, and to share access information about those networks, only if you have permission
to do so.

b. H.264/AVC and MPEG-4 visual standards and VC-1 video standards. The software may include
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and/or VC-1 decoding technology. MPEG LA, L.L.C. requires this notice:

VC-1, AND MPEG-4 PART 2 VIDEO THAT WAS ENCODED BY A CONSUMER ENGAGED IN A PERSONAL AND
NON-COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY AND/OR WAS OBTAINED FROM A VIDEO PROVIDER LICENSED TO PROVIDE
SUCH VIDEO. NO LICENSE IS GRANTED OR SHALL BE IMPLIED FOR ANY OTHER USE. ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION MAY BE OBTAINED FROM MPEG LA, L.L.C. SEE (AKA.MS/MPEGLA).

c. Malware protection. Microsoft cares about protecting your device from malware. The software will
turn on malware protection if other protection is not installed or has expired. To do so, other
antimalware software will be disabled or may have to be removed.

d. Limited rightsversions. If the software version you acquired is marked or otherwise intended for a
specific or limited use, then you may only use it as specified. You may not use such versions of the
software for commercial, non-profit, or revenue-generating activities.

(i) Academic. For academic use, you must be a student, faculty or staff of an educational institution at
the time of purchase.

(ii) Evaluation. For evaluation (or test or demonstration) use, you may not sell the software, use it in a
live operating environment, or use it after the evaluation period. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, evaluation software is provided “AS IS” and no warranty, implied or express
(including the Limited Warranty), applies to these versions.

(iii) NFR. You may not sell software marked as “NFR” or “Not for Resale”.

(iv) Preview. You may choose to use preview, insider, beta, or other pre-release versions of the
software (“previews”) that Microsoft may make available. You may use previews only up to the
software’s expiration date and so long as you comply with all the terms of this agreement. Previews are
experimental and may be substantially different from the commercially released version.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, previews are provided “AS IS,” and no
warranty, implied or express (including the Limited Warranty), applies to these versions. By installing
previews on your device, you may void or impact your device warranty and may not be entitled to
support from your devicemanufacturer or network operator, if applicable. Microsoft is not responsible
for any damage therebycaused to you. Microsoft may not provide support services for previews. If you
provide Microsoft comments, suggestions or other feedback about the preview (“submission”), you
