MICROSOFT DIRECTSTORAGE SDK
 
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 to develop and test your 
        applications.
    b)  Third Party Components. The software may include third party components with separate legal 
        notices or governed by other agreements, as may be described in the ThirdPartyNotices file(s) 
        accompanying the software.

2.  DISTRIBUTABLE CODE. The software may contain code you are permitted to distribute (i.e. make 
    available for third parties) in applications you develop, as described in this Section. 
    a)  Distribution Rights. The code and test files described below are distributable if included with the 
        software. 
        i.  Distributables. You may copy and distribute the object code form of the software listed in the 
            distributables file list in the software; and
        ii. Third Party Distribution. You may permit distributors of your applications to copy and distribute 
            any of this distributable code you elect to distribute with your applications.
    b)  Distribution Requirements. For any code you distribute, you must:
        i.  add significant primary functionality to it in your applications; 
        ii. require distributors and external end users to agree to terms that protect it and Microsoft at least 
            as much as this agreement; and
        iii.    indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Microsoft from any claims, including attorneys' fees, related 
                to the distribution or use of your applications, except to the extent that any claim is based solely 
                on the unmodified distributable code.
    c)  Distribution Restrictions. You may not:
        i.  use Microsoft's trademarks or trade dress in your application in any way that suggests your 
            application comes from or is endorsed by Microsoft; or
        ii. modify or distribute the source code of any distributable code so that any part of it becomes 
            subject to any license that requires that the distributable code, any other part of the software, or 
            any of Microsoft's other intellectual property be disclosed or distributed in source code form, or 
            that others have the right to modify it.

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 otherwise attempt to derive the source 
        code for the software, except and to the extent required by third party licensing terms governing use 
        of certain open source components that may be included in 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 lease the software (except for any distributable code, subject to the 
        terms above), provide the software as a stand-alone offering for others to use, or transfer the 
        software or this agreement to any third party.

4.  DATA. 
    a)  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 our 
        products and services. You may opt-out of many of these scenarios, but not all, as described in the 
        product documentation.  There are also some features in the software that may enable you to collect 
        data from users of your applications. If you use these features to enable data collection in your 
        applications, you must comply with applicable law, including providing appropriate notices to users of 
        your applications. You can learn more about data collection and use in the help documentation and 
        the privacy statement at https://aka.ms/privacy. Your use of the software operates as your consent to 
        these practices.
    b)  Processing of Personal Data. To the extent Microsoft is a processor or subprocessor of personal 
        data in connection with the software, Microsoft makes the commitments in the European Union 
        General Data Protection Regulation Terms of the Online Services Terms to all customers effective May 
        25, 2018, at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/gdpr.

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 https://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.  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.

9.  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.

10. 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)  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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

provided below in French.

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
