MICROSOFT PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS
MICROSOFT SQL SERVER DATA-TIER APPLICATION FRAMEWORK
===============================================================================
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 and use any number of copies of the software on
your devices.
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. TIME-SENSITIVE SOFTWARE.
a) Term. The term of this agreement is until 6 months after the commercial
release of the software.
b) Notice. You may receive periodic reminder notices of this date through
the software.
c) Access to data. You may not be able to access data used in the software
when it stops running.
3. PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE. The software is a pre-release version. It may not
operate correctly. It may be different from the commercially released version.
4. FEEDBACK. If you give feedback about the software to Microsoft, you give to
Microsoft, without charge, the right to use, share and commercialize your
feedback in any way and for any purpose. You will not give feedback 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.
5. 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.
6. 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 in any way that is against the law or to create or
propagate malware; or
e) 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.

« 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

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

les dommages spéciaux, indirects ou accessoires et pertes de bénéfices. Cette
limitation concerne:

le code) figurant sur des sites Internet tiers ou dans des
programmes tiers; et

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.
