BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION 9. IT AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES ARE
RESOLVED.
Thank you for choosing Microsoft!
Depending on how you obtained the Windows software, this is a license agreement between (i) you and the device
manufacturer or software installer that distributes the software with your device; or (ii) you and Microsoft Corporation
(or, based on where you live or if a business where your principal place of business is located, one of its affiliates) if you
acquired the software from a retailer. Microsoft is the device manufacturer for devices produced by Microsoft or one of
its affiliates, and Microsoft is the retailer if you acquired the software directly from Microsoft.
This agreement describes your rights and the conditions upon which you may use the Windows software. You should
review the entire agreement, including any supplemental license terms that accompany the software and any linked
terms, because all of the terms are important and together create this agreement that applies to you. You can review

transmission of certain information during activation and during your use of the software as per the privacy

software or its features. You may contact the device manufacturer or installer, or your retailer if you purchased the
software directly, to determine its return policy and return the software or device for a refund or credit under that
policy. You must comply with that policy, which might require you to return the software with the entire device on
which the software is installed for a refund or credit, if any.

regions.
