MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS
MICROSOFT QUANTUM DEVELOPMENT KIT LIBRARIES AND SAMPLES
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) You may:
(i) Install, use, and distribute any number of copies of the software for
evaluation, internal testing and research purposes, subject to the
restrictions in this agreement. Examples of permissible uses are teaching,
academic research, public demonstrations, internal testing, and personal
experimentation; and
(ii) publish (or present papers or articles) on your results from using the
software, provided that you provide attribution to Microsoft for the
software, and no portion of the software (other than extracts from samples
or documentation that are reasonably needed to support your papers or
articles) is included in any such publication or presentation.
b) Third Party Software. The software may include third party applications that
Microsoft, not the third party, licenses to you under this agreement. Any
included notices for third party applications are for your information only.
2. 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;
c) remove, minimize, block, or modify any notices of Microsoft or its
suppliers in the software;
d) use the software for commercial, non-profit, or revenue-generating
activities;
e) use the software in any way that is against the law or to create or
propagate malware; or
f) share, 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. TERMINATION. Without prejudice to any other rights, Microsoft may terminate
this agreement if you fail to comply with any of its terms or conditions.
In such event, you must destroy all copies of the software and all of its
component parts.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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
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.
