MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS

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. INSTEAD, RETURN IT TO THE RETAILER FOR A REFUND OR CREDIT. If you cannot obtain a refund there, contact Microsoft or the Microsoft affiliate serving your country for information about Microsoft’s refund policies. See www.microsoft.com/worldwide.

TRIAL USE RIGHTS and CONVERSION for Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere 2010 Trial Edition.  If the software is a trial edition, then this Section applies to you.  You may install and use any number of copies of the trial software on your devices.  You may only use the trial software for internal evaluation purposes.  For example, your trial rights do not include the right to deploy or distribute any programs you design or develop with the software for use in a production environment, except that you may deploy your programs internally solely to evaluate the software.  You may convert your trial rights at any time to the full rights described in the rest of these license terms by purchasing a commercial license and obtaining a product key from Microsoft or one of its distributors.  Your rights to use the trial software are limited to ninety (90) days.  The trial software will present conversion options to you thirty (30) days after you install the trial software.  At that time you may either request an additional 60-day trial period extension or purchase a commercial license to continue using the software.   After the expiration of the 90-day trial period, without conversion, the trial software will stop running.

·         Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 13 and the Limited Warranty do not apply.  The remaining sections below apply.

·         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.

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

·         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.

12.  LEGAL EFFECT. This agreement describes certain legal rights. You may have other rights under the laws of your state or country. You may also have rights with respect to the party from whom you acquired the software.

·         repair, replacement or a refund for the software does not fully compensate you for any losses; or

·         Microsoft knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. They also may not apply to you because your country may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or other damages.

DANS TOUTE LA MESURE PERMISE PAR LA RÉGLEMENTATION APPLICABLE, TOUTE GARANTIE IMPLICITE SERA APPLICABLE UNIQUEMENT PENDANT LA DURÉE DE LA GARANTIE LIMITÉE. Certains états n’autorisent pas les limitations portant sur la durée d’une garantie implicite, de sorte que les limitations ci-dessus peuvent ne pas vous être applicables. Elles peuvent également ne pas vous être applicables, car certains pays n’autorisent pas les limitations portant sur la durée d’une garantie implicite.

C.    EXCLUSIONS DE LA GARANTIE. Cette garantie ne couvre pas les problèmes engendrés par vos propres actes (ou inexécutions), les actes d’autrui ou tout autre événement échappant au contrôle raisonnable de Microsoft.

D.    RECOURS EN CAS DE VIOLATION DE GARANTIE. MICROSOFT S’ENGAGE À RÉPARER OU À REMPLACER LE LOGICIEL GRATUITEMENT.

MICROSOFT S'ENGAGE ÉGALEMENT À RÉPARER OU À REMPLACER LES SUPPLÉMENTS, LES MISES À JOUR ET LE LOGICIEL DE REMPLACEMENT GRATUITEMENT. SI MICROSOFT NE PEUT PAS LES RÉPARER NI LES REMPLACER, ELLE REMBOURSERA LE MONTANT QUE VOUS AVEZ PAYÉ POUR CES ÉLÉMENTS, LE CAS ÉCHÉANT. POUR OBTENIR UN REMBOURSEMENT, VOUS DEVEZ DÉSINSTALLER LE LOGICIEL ET RETOURNER TOUT SUPPORT ET AUTRES DOCUMENTS ASSOCIÉS À MICROSOFT ACCOMPAGNÉS D’UN JUSTIFICATIF D’ACHAT.

G.    AUCUNE AUTRE GARANTIE. LA GARANTIE LIMITÉE EST LA SEULE GARANTIE DIRECTE FOURNIE PAR MICROSOFT. MICROSOFT N’ACCORDE AUCUNE AUTRE GARANTIE EXPRESSE. DANS LA MESURE AUTORISÉE PAR LE DROIT DE VOTRE PAYS, MICROSOFT EXCLUT LES GARANTIES IMPLICITES DE QUALITÉ, D’ADÉQUATION À UN USAGE PARTICULIER ET D’ABSENCE DE CONTREFAÇON. Si les lois de votre pays vous accordent des garanties implicites, nonobstant la présente exclusion, les recours dont vous disposez sont ceux exposés dans l’article ci-dessus relatif aux recours en cas de violation de garantie, dans la limite autorisée par le droit de votre pays.

H.    LIMITATION ET EXCLUSION DE RESPONSABILITÉ EN CAS DE VIOLATION DE GARANTIE. L’ARTICLE CI-DESSUS RELATIF À LA LIMITATION ET L'EXCLUSION DE RESPONSABILITÉ EN CAS DE DOMMAGES S’APPLIQUE EN CAS DE VIOLATION DE LA PRÉSENTE GARANTIE LIMITÉE.

Cette limitation concerne :

·         toute affaire liée au logiciel, aux services ou au contenu (y compris tout code) figurant sur des sites Internet tiers ou dans des programmes tiers ; et

·         les réclamations pour rupture de contrat ou violation de garantie, les réclamations en cas de responsabilité sans faute, de négligence ou autre délit dans la limite autorisée par la loi en vigueur.

Elle s’applique également, même si :

·         la réparation, le remplacement ou le remboursement du logiciel ne compense pas intégralement tout préjudice subi ; ou

·         Microsoft avait ou aurait dû avoir connaissance de l’éventualité de tels dommages.

Certains États n’autorisent pas l’exclusion de garanties ou la limitation de responsabilité pour les dommages indirects ou accessoires, de sorte que la limitation ou l’exclusion ci-dessus peut ne pas vous être applicable. Elles peuvent également ne pas vous être applicables si votre pays n’autorise pas l’exclusion de garanties ou la limitation de responsabilité pour les dommages indirects, accessoires ou autres types de dommages.

EFFET JURIDIQUE. Le présent contrat décrit certains droits légaux. Vous pouvez bénéficier d’autres droits prévus par les lois de votre État ou pays. Vous pouvez également bénéficier de certains droits à l’égard de la partie auprès de laquelle vous avez acquis le logiciel. Le présent contrat ne modifie pas les droits que vous confèrent les lois de votre État ou pays si celles-ci ne le permettent pas.
