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 the software as part of your organization’s
    Remote Desktop Services deployment and publish the software to end users.
 
    b) Third Party Software. The software may include third party applications
    that are licensed to you under this agreement or under their own terms.
    License terms, notices, and acknowledgements, if any, for the third party
    applications may be accessible online at http://aka.ms/thirdpartynotices or
    in an accompanying notices file. Even if such applications are governed by
    other agreements, the disclaimer, limitations on, and exclusions of damages
    below also apply to the extent allowed by applicable law.
 
    c) Open Source Components. The software may contain third party copyrighted
    software licensed under open source licenses with source code availability
    obligations. Copies of those licenses are included in the ThirdPartyNotices
    file or other accompanying notices file.
 
2. 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 and
the Microsoft Privacy Statement at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=521839.
You agree to comply with all applicable provisions of the Microsoft Privacy
Statement.
 
3. 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, or attempt to
    do so, except and only to the extent required by third party licensing terms
    governing the use of certain open-source components that may be included with
    the software;
 
    c) remove, minimize, block, or modify any notices of Microsoft or its
    suppliers in the software;

    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.
 
4. VIDEO CODECS. THIS PRODUCT IS LICENSED UNDER THE 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

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.
 
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. 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.
 
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.
