-
-2. DISTRIBUTION AND PRODUCTION USE. If you have obtained and/or are developing on

-laws and regulations that apply to the software, which include restrictions on

-event, you must destroy all copies of the software and all of its component
-parts. 
-
-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. To the extent you have entered into a separate agreement with
-Microsoft relating specifically to the software, the terms in such agreement
-shall control. 
-
-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. If you acquired the software in any
-other country, its laws apply. 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. 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. 
-
-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 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 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) 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. 
-a) 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. 
-b) HIGH RISK USE DISCLAIMER. WARNING: THE SOFTWARE IS NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED FOR USE  WHERE FAILURE OR FAULT OF ANY KIND OF THE SOFTWARE COULD  RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR IN  PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE (“collectively High Risk Use”). Accordingly, You must design and implement your hardware and software such that, in the event of any interruption, defect, error, or other failure of the software, the safety of people, property, and the environment are not reduced below a level that is reasonable, appropriate, and legal, whether in general or for a specific industry. Your High Risk Use of the software is at Your own risk. 
-
-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. 
-
- Please note: As this software is distributed in Canada, some of the clauses in
-this agreement are provided below in French. 
-
-Remarque: Ce logiciel étant distribué au Canada, certaines des clauses dans ce
-contrat sont fournies ci-dessous en français. 
-
-EXONÉRATION DE GARANTIE. 
-a)	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. 
-b)	CLAUSE D’EXCLUSION DE RESPONSABILITÉ RELATIVE À L’UTILISATION À HAUT RISQUE. 
-AVERTISSEMENT: LE LOGICIEL N’EST PAS CONÇU OU DESTINÉ À ÊTRE UTILISÉ LORSQU’UNE 
-DÉFAILLANCE OU UN DÉFAUT DE QUELQUE NATURE QUE CE SOIT POURRAIT ENTRAÎNER LA 
-MORT OU DES BLESSURES CORPORELLES GRAVES, OU DES DOMMAGES PHYSIQUES OU 
-ENVIRONNEMENTAUX (« Utilisation à haut risque »). Par conséquent, vous devez concevoir et mettre en 
-œuvre votre équipement et votre logiciel de manière à ce que, en cas d’interruption, de défaut, d’erreur 
-ou de toute autre défaillance du logiciel, la sécurité des personnes, des biens et de l’environnement ne 
-soit pas réduite en dessous d’un niveau raisonnable, approprié et légal, que ce soit en général ou pour 
-un secteur spécifique. Votre utilisation à haut risque du logiciel est à vos propres risques.
-
-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. 
-
-Cette limitation concerne: 
-
-•tout ce qui est relié au logiciel, aux services ou au contenu (y compris le
-code) figurant sur 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.
