MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS
MICROSOFT AZURE SERVICE FABRIC FOR WINDOWS SERVER
 
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 with 
Windows Operating System Software.
b)	Third Party Software. The software may include third party applications that Microsoft, not the third 
party, licenses to you under this agreement. Any included notices for third party applications are for 
your information only.
2.	PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE. The software may contain features which are a pre-release version. Such 
pre-release features may not operate correctly and may be changed prior to commercial release.  We also 
may not release a commercial version of a pre-release feature or remove it from the software.  A list of the 
pre-release features and details can be found at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=827870.   
3.	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 Microsoft’s 
products and services. Your opt-out rights, if any, are described in the product documentation. Some 
features in the software may enable collection of data from users of your applications that access or use 
the software. If you use these features to enable data collection in your applications, you must comply 
with applicable law, including getting any required user consent, and maintain a prominent privacy policy 
that accurately informs users about how you use, collect, and share their data. You can learn more about 
Microsoft’s data collection and use in the product documentation at 
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=827871 and the Microsoft Online Services Privacy Statement at  
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement/OnlineServices/Default.aspx. 
4.	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;
c)	remove, minimize, block, or modify any notices of Microsoft or its suppliers in the software;
d)	use the software for commercial, non-profit, or revenue-generating activities;
e)	use the software in any way that is against the law or to create or propagate malware; or
f)	share, publish, distribute, or lend the software, provide the software as a stand-alone hosted solution 
for others to use, or transfer the software or this agreement to any third party.
5.	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 http://aka.ms/exporting.
6.	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.
7.	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.
8.	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 http://aka.ms/arb-agreement-1. You and Microsoft 
agree to these terms.
9.	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.
10.	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).
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, 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.
12.	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.
13.	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.

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.

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.
