MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS
|
|
|
|
MICROSOFT EDGE
|
|
|
|
After installation, these terms are also viewable in Microsoft Edge at
|
|
edge://terms.
|
|
|
|
These license terms are an agreement between you and Microsoft Corporation
|
|
(or one of its affiliates). They apply to this software published by
|
|
Microsoft and any software updates ("Software") (except to the extent such
|
|
Software 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). IF YOU COMPLY WITH
|
|
THESE LICENSE TERMS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHTS BELOW. BY DOWNLOADING OR USING THE
|
|
SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THEM, YOU HAVE NO
|
|
RIGHT TO AND MUST NOT DOWNLOAD OR USE THE SOFTWARE.
|
|
|
|
1. MICROSOFT EDGE FOR WINDOWS DEVICES
|
|
|
|
1.1. Windows License Terms. Your installation and use of the Software on any
|
|
Windows platform shall be governed by the license terms for your
|
|
Microsoft Windows Operating System software ("Windows License Terms") on
|
|
which you are using the Software, and those terms are incorporated by
|
|
reference. If the Software is downloaded from Microsoft and labeled
|
|
preview, insider, beta or pre-release, or is otherwise indicated as not
|
|
being a final retail version of the Software, the applicable terms in
|
|
Section 1.2 also apply to your use of the Software. Section 1.3 applies
|
|
to your use of other services that may be made available for use through
|
|
your use of the Software.
|
|
|
|
1.1.1. Updates. Notwithstanding above Section 1.1 as applied to Windows
|
|
7, 8, and 8.1, the terms of the applicable Windows License Terms,
|
|
or any Windows update settings you have configured, the Software
|
|
periodically checks for 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.
|
|
|
|
1.2. Previews. Microsoft may make preview, insider, beta or other pre-release
|
|
versions of the Software ("Previews") available to you. You may use
|
|
Previews only up to the Software's expiration date (if any) and so long
|
|
as you comply with the applicable Windows License Terms. Previews are
|
|
experimental, which means that Previews may not operate correctly and
|
|
may be substantially different from the commercially released version.
|
|
In some instances, Previews may even inadvertently damage your device
|
|
rendering it inoperable or cause occasional crashes, data loss or apps
|
|
to stop working or be deleted. To recover, you may have to reinstall
|
|
your apps, the operating system or re-flash your device. In some
|
|
instances, you may not be able to go back to your prior version of the
|
|
Software. Because Previews may contain more errors or inaccuracies, you
|
|
should back-up your device before installing any Previews. We recommend
|
|
installing Previews on non-production devices that are not business
|
|
critical because you are more likely to experience crashes, setting and
|
|
policy changes, loss of data or apps, feature and functionality changes,
|
|
cause other apps to stop working, be updated, or removed from your
|
|
device automatically without notice and other potential issues. We
|
|
highly recommend that you do not install the Previews on any systems you
|
|
don't directly control or that you share with others. Notwithstanding
|
|
anything to the contrary in this agreement, Previews are nontransferable
|
|
and provided "AS IS." By installing Previews on your device, you may
|
|
void or impact your device warranty and may not be entitled to support
|
|
from the manufacturer of your device or network operator, if applicable.
|
|
Microsoft may not provide support services for Previews. If you provide
|
|
Microsoft comments, suggestions or other feedback about the Preview
|
|
("Submission"), you grant Microsoft and its partners rights to use the
|
|
Submission in any way and for any purpose. You will not give a
|
|
Submission that is subject to a license that requires Microsoft to
|
|
license its Software or documentation to third parties because Microsoft
|
|
includes your Submission in them. These rights survive this agreement.
|
|
Microsoft may change or discontinue the Previews, or terminate your
|
|
access to the Previews, at any time without notice and for any reason
|
|
whatsoever. You may stop using the Previews at any time by un-installing
|
|
and deleting all copies of any Previews.
|
|
|
|
1.2.1. Data Collection for Previews. Previews may not have included,
|
|
reduced, or different security, privacy, accessibility,
|
|
availability and relatability standards relative to commercially
|
|
provided services and software. For Previews covered under
|
|
Section 1.2, privacy and feature settings may not work as
|
|
intended, and the Previews may not work with other Windows
|
|
privacy settings, including the diagnostic data settings for
|
|
Windows 10. Data collected from your use of the Previews,
|
|
including diagnostic, technical, error reports, crash dumps and
|
|
other related data from your devices running Previews may be
|
|
used, stored, processed and analyzed to keep Windows and the
|
|
Previews up to date, secure, and operating properly. It also
|
|
helps us improve Microsoft products and services and may be used
|
|
for any other purpose described in the Microsoft Privacy
|
|
Statement. If you disable data collection through controls
|
|
available in the Previews, we may continue to collect diagnostic
|
|
information about the download, the installation and removal of
|
|
the Previews and "basic" data as described in the Windows
|
|
Diagnostics section of the Microsoft Privacy Statement. The
|
|
Microsoft Privacy Statement
|
|
(https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=521839), and this
|
|
paragraph, applies to Previews under Section 1.2.
|
|
|
|
1.3. Other Services. The Software may include features that provide an access
|
|
point to, or rely on, other services, websites, links, content,
|
|
material, integrations or applications, including as provided by
|
|
independent third parties ("Other Services"). Your use of
|
|
Other Services or of Software features that rely on Other
|
|
Services may be governed by separate terms and subject to
|
|
separate privacy policies. You can view these separate terms
|
|
and policies through the Other Services' websites or settings,
|
|
as applicable. The Other Services may not be available in all
|
|
regions. You may not use tokens the Software uses to call into
|
|
a Microsoft Azure service separate from the Software.
|
|
|
|
2. MICROSOFT EDGE FOR NON-WINDOWS DEVICES
|
|
|
|
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 2.14 BELOW. IT AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED.
|
|
|
|
2.1. Installation and Use Rights. For installation and use of the Software
|
|
on any non-Windows platform, including but not limited to macOS and
|
|
Linux, you may install and use one copy of the Software on any device
|
|
running such non-Windows platform.
|
|
|
|
2.2. Third Party Software. The Software may include third party software
|
|
that is licensed to you under this agreement or under their own terms
|
|
or under open source licenses with source code availability options.
|
|
License terms, notices, and acknowledgements, if any, for the third
|
|
party software may be accessible online at
|
|
https://aka.ms/thirdpartynotices or in an accompanying notices file.
|
|
Even if such software is governed by other agreements, the disclaimer,
|
|
limitations on, and exclusions of damages below also apply to the
|
|
extent allowed by applicable law.
|
|
|
|
2.3. Previews. Microsoft may make preview, insider, beta or other
|
|
pre-release versions of the Software ("Previews") available to you. You
|
|
may use Previews only up to the software's expiration date (if any) and
|
|
so long as you comply with these license terms. Previews are
|
|
experimental, which means that Previews may not operate correctly and
|
|
may be substantially different from the commercially released version.
|
|
In some instances, Previews may even inadvertently damage your device
|
|
rendering it inoperable or cause occasional crashes, data loss or apps
|
|
to stop working or be deleted. To recover, you may have to reinstall
|
|
your apps, the operating system or re-flash your device. In some
|
|
instances, you may not be able to go back to your prior version of the
|
|
Software. Because Previews may contain more errors or inaccuracies, you
|
|
should back-up your device before installing any Previews. We recommend
|
|
installing Previews on non-production devices that are not business
|
|
critical because you are more likely to experience crashes, setting and
|
|
policy changes, loss of data or apps, feature and functionality
|
|
changes, cause other apps to stop working, be updated, or removed from
|
|
your device automatically without notice and other potential issues. We
|
|
highly recommend that you do not install the Previews on any systems
|
|
you don't directly control or that you share with others.
|
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, Previews
|
|
are nontransferable and provided "AS IS." By installing Previews on
|
|
your device, you may void or impact your device warranty and may not be
|
|
entitled to support from the manufacturer of your device or network
|
|
operator, if applicable. Microsoft may not provide support services for
|
|
Previews. Microsoft may change or discontinue the Previews, or
|
|
terminate your access to the Previews, at any time without notice and
|
|
for any reason whatsoever. You may stop using the Previews at any time
|
|
by un-installing and deleting all copies of any Previews.
|
|
|
|
2.3.1. Data Collection for Previews. Previews may not have included,
|
|
reduced, or different security, privacy, accessibility,
|
|
availability and relatability standards relative to
|
|
commercially provided services and software. For Previews
|
|
covered under Section 2.3, privacy and feature settings may
|
|
not work as intended, and the Previews may not work with other
|
|
operating system privacy settings. Data collected from your use
|
|
of Previews, including diagnostic, technical, error reports,
|
|
crash dumps and other related data from your devices running
|
|
Previews may be used, stored, processed and analyzed to keep the
|
|
Previews up to date, secure, and operating properly. It also
|
|
helps us improve Microsoft products and services and may be used
|
|
for any other purpose described in the Microsoft Privacy
|
|
Statement. If you disable data collection through controls
|
|
available in the Previews, we may continue to collect diagnostic
|
|
information about the download, the installation and any removal
|
|
of the Previews and "basic" data as described in the Windows
|
|
Diagnostics section of the Microsoft Privacy Statement. The
|
|
Microsoft Privacy Statement
|
|
(https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=521839), and this
|
|
paragraph, applies to Previews under Section 2.3.
|
|
|
|
2.4. Other Services. The Software may include features that provide an
|
|
access point to, or rely on, other services, websites, links, content,
|
|
material, integrations or applications, including as provided by
|
|
independent third parties ("Other Services"). Your use of Other
|
|
Services or of Software features that rely on Other Services may be
|
|
governed by separate terms and subject to separate privacy policies.
|
|
You can view these separate terms and policies through the Other
|
|
Services' websites or settings, as applicable. The Other Services may
|
|
not be available in all regions.
|
|
|
|
2.5. Communications with You. Microsoft may use your contact information (i)
|
|
to communicate with you about your use of the Software, and (ii) to
|
|
provide you with additional information, about the Software and other
|
|
Microsoft products or services. This contact may be by email, SMS,
|
|
instant message, web chat, phone, in the user interface, or other
|
|
means, and may include offers. You can always choose whether you wish
|
|
to receive promotional email, SMS messages, telephone calls and postal
|
|
mail from Microsoft.
|
|
|
|
2.6. Feedback. If you provide Microsoft comments, suggestions or other
|
|
feedback about the Software to Microsoft ("Submission"), you grant
|
|
Microsoft and its partners rights to use the Submission in any way and
|
|
for any purpose. You will not give Microsoft a Submission that is
|
|
subject to a license that requires Microsoft to license its Software or
|
|
documentation to third parties because Microsoft includes your feedback
|
|
in them. These rights survive this agreement.
|
|
|
|
2.7. Data Collection. The Software may collect information about you and
|
|
your use of the Software and send that to Microsoft. 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 at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=521839, and as may
|
|
be described in the user interface associated with the Software
|
|
features.
|
|
|
|
2.8. Scope of License. The Software is licensed, not sold. This agreement
|
|
gives you only some rights to use the Software. 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, disassemble, decrypt or otherwise
|
|
attempt to derive the source code of the Software, except and only
|
|
to the extent that the foregoing restriction is (i) permitted by
|
|
applicable law; (ii) required by third party licensing terms
|
|
governing the use of certain open-source components that may be
|
|
included with the Software; or (iii) 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.
|
|
(c) remove, minimize, block, or modify any notices of Microsoft or its
|
|
suppliers in the Software;
|
|
(d) 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;
|
|
(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.
|
|
(g) use tokens the Software uses to call into a Microsoft Azure
|
|
service separate from the Software.
|
|
|
|
2.9. Documentation. If documentation is provided with the Software, you may
|
|
copy and use the documentation for personal reference purposes.
|
|
|
|
2.10. H.264/AVC and MPEG-4 Visual Standards and VC-1 Video Standards. The
|
|
Software may include H.264/AVC, MPEG-4 Visual, and/or VC-1 codec
|
|
technology. MPEG LA, L.L.C. requires this notice:
|
|
|
|
THIS PRODUCT IS LICENSED UNDER THE H.264/AVC, THE VC-1, AND THE MPEG-4
|
|
PART 2 VISUAL PATENT PORTFOLIO LICENSES FOR THE PERSONAL AND
|
|
NON-COMMERCIAL USE OF A CONSUMER TO (i) ENCODE VIDEO IN COMPLIANCE
|
|
WITH THE ABOVE STANDARDS ("VIDEO STANDARDS") OR (ii) DECODE AVC, VC-1,
|
|
AND MPEG-4 PART 2 VIDEO THAT WAS ENCODED BY A CONSUMER ENGAGED IN A
|
|
PERSONAL AND NON-COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY 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 https://aka.ms/mpegla.
|
|
|
|
2.11. 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
|
|
https://aka.ms/exporting.
|
|
|
|
2.12. 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.
|
|
|
|
2.13. 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.
|
|
|
|
2.14. 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 https://aka.ms/arb-agreement-1. You and
|
|
Microsoft agree to these terms.
|
|
|
|
2.15. 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.
|
|
|
|
2.16. Applicable Law and lace 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).
|
|
|
|
2.17. 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 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 orphysical 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.
|
|
|
|
2.18. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. THE SOFTWARE IS LICENSED "AS IS," "WITH ALL
|
|
FAULTS," AND "AS AVAILABLE." YOU BEAR THE RISK OF USING IT. MICROSOFT
|
|
GIVES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES, OR CONDITIONS. YOU MAY HAVE
|
|
ADDITIONAL CONSUMER RIGHTS OR STATUTORY GUARANTEES UNDER YOUR LOCAL
|
|
LAWS THAT THIS AGREEMENT CANNOT CHANGE. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER
|
|
YOUR LOCAL LAWS, MICROSOFT EXCLUDES ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING
|
|
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND
|
|
NON-INFRINGEMENT.
|
|
|
|
2.19. LIMITATION ON AND EXCLUSION OF REMEDIES AND DAMAGES. IF YOU HAVE ANY
|
|
BASIS FOR RECOVERING DAMAGES DESPITE THE PRECEDING DISCLAIMER OF
|
|
WARRANTY, YOU CAN RECOVER FROM MICROSOFT AND MICROSOFT'S AFFILIATES OR
|
|
SUPPLIERS ONLY DIRECT DAMAGES UP TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE
|
|
SOFTWARE OR $5.00, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. YOU CANNOT RECOVER ANY OTHER
|
|
DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING CONSEQUENTIAL, LOST PROFITS, SPECIAL,
|
|
INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
|
|
PERMITTED BY LAW, THESE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO ANYTHING OR
|
|
ANY CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE.
|
|
|
|
It also applies even if this remedy does not fully compensate you for
|
|
any losses or fails of its essential purpose or 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.
