+# Azure AI Private Preview Terms – Online Experimentation
+
+Updated 11/11/2024
+
+These terms are an agreement between you and Microsoft Corporation (or one of
+its affiliates). As confirmed by your acceptance of the invitation to
+participate in the **Online Experimentation Private Preview**, or by accessing
+any materials provided in connection with this private preview, you agree that
+(1) you have the authority to agree to these terms on behalf of your
+organization and (2) your organization agrees to, and is bound by, these terms.
+
+## Overview
+
+We welcome you to the Online Experimentation Private Preview (“<ins>Private
+Preview</ins>”). Your access to this Private Preview will enable you to create,
+run and analyze online A/B experiments and engage with a GitHub Copilot for
+Azure extension plugin that assists with experimentation.
+
+We are eager to collaborate with you so that your feedback can help us build the
+best product. Please note that this Private Preview may not be used in
+production deployments. Private Preview experimentation is restricted to
+internal use only. No access to external end users is allowed. You must take
+adequate security and access measures to ensure such internal-only use.
+Violation will result in your immediate removal from the Private Preview and
+removal from consideration of future preview opportunities.
+
+This Private Preview is subject to the Microsoft volume licensing agreement
+(“<ins>VLA</ins>”) applicable to your use of Microsoft online services,
+including applicable Product Terms (available at
+https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/terms) (“<ins>License Terms</ins>”). Any
+capitalized terms not otherwise defined in these Private Preview Terms will have
+the meaning given to them in your VLA. In the event of any conflict between
+these Private Preview Terms and the VLA, these terms will control.
+
+## What We Need from You
+
+Participants of this Private Preview are expected to foster a collaborative
+partnership with the Azure ExP product team (“<ins>Product Team</ins>”). Product
+Team leaders, engineers, and customer excellence representatives will be
+actively involved to help capture feedback, resolve bugs, and solve issues.
+
+During the private preview we will collect feedback using a general participant
+survey followed by a kick-off meeting to introduce the private preview. Once you
+have access to the private preview, we will schedule a follow-up meeting and
+send an additional survey to collect detailed private preview feedback.
+
+You are expected to maintain frequent communication with the Product Team.
+Failure to participate and provide feedback will result in removal from this
+Private Preview and may impact consideration of your future preview
+opportunities.
+
+## Acknowledgements
+
+Please remember that this Private Preview is a new and innovative technology and
+results are not guaranteed. Your oversight and review are crucial. Review the
+documentation and transparency content provided for this private preview. It is
+ultimately you who are accountable for the results of your use of this Private
+Preview.
+
+We want this Private Preview functionality to delight and assist you.
+Accordingly, if the Private Preview generates unintended results, or results
+that do not meet your expectations, immediately inform Microsoft (via the
+product manager you are working with or other mechanism specified by Microsoft).
+
+Being a Private Preview means it is made available to you before general
+availability so you can test and evaluate it and provide feedback to Microsoft.
+Previews may have restricted functionality and may employ reduced or different
+privacy, security, or compliance commitments than a commercial version. This
+Private Preview feature is provided “as-is,” “with all faults,” “as available,”
+and without warranty, support, or service level agreements. You may be required
+to update your Private Preview resource during or at the end of the Private
+Preview period.
+
+You are solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using the
+Private Preview and you assume all risks associated with using it, including but
+not limited to risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable
+laws, damage to or loss of your data, programs or equipment, and unavailability
+or interruption of operations.
+
+You must not rely on the Private Preview to make business critical decisions and
+to cross-check any output responses by referencing the source data and telemetry
+that was used to generate the experiment results.
+
+## Other Terms

+_Service Limits._ This Private Preview is subject to the service limits
+described in the costs and billing section of the user documentation, and is not

+service costs beyond any free tier usage for any Azure services that are
+required for the Private Preview (e.g., Azure App Configuration, Azure Monitor).
+
+_Feedback._ In exchange for access to this Private Preview, you will give us
+suggestions, comments, input, ideas, or know-how, in any form,
+("<ins>Feedback</ins>") about the Private Preview or other Microsoft products or
+services. However, you will not provide us Feedback containing Personal Data or
+other data that is subject to legal or regulatory compliance requirements. You
+give to Microsoft, without charge, the right to use, share, and freely
+commercialize Feedback in any way and for any purpose. You also give third
+parties, without charge, the right to use, or interface with, any Microsoft
+products or services that include the Feedback. You represent and warrant that
+you own or otherwise control all rights to such Feedback and that no such
+Feedback is subject to any third-party rights.

+all information you receive about the Private Preview or other Microsoft

+> to protect the other's Confidential Information.
+>
+> Each party may disclose the other's Confidential Information to its
+> affiliates, employees, and contractors only on a need-to-know basis, subject

+> Confidential Information may also be disclosed by either party as necessary to
+> comply with a judicial or other governmental order, but the party making such
+> disclosure must (a) first give the other party reasonable notice of such
+> disclosure to allow for a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective order or
