Appendix 2. MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE
TERMS
WINDOWS 10 IOT ENTERPRISE & MOBILE (ALL EDITIONS)
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 9. 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.
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, 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.
