MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS

2007 MICROSOFT OFFICE SYSTEM DESKTOP APPLICATION SOFTWARE

Below are three separate sets of License Terms. Only one set applies to

you. To determine which License Terms apply to you check the license

designation printed either on your product key, near the product name on

your Certificate of Authenticity, or on the download page if you obtained

your product key online. If your designation is FPP, then the Retail

License Terms below apply to you. If your designation is OEM, then the

OEM License Terms below apply to you. If your designation is MLK, then

the Media-less License Kit Terms below apply to you.

If you need assistance finding your license type, please go to:

www.microsoft.com/office/eula to determine which license you have.

1. RETAIL LICENSE TERMS

These license terms are an agreement between Microsoft Corporation (or

based on where you live, one of its affiliates) and you. Please read

them. They apply to the software that accompanies these license terms,

which includes the media on which you received it, if any. The terms

also apply to any Microsoft

• updates,

• supplements,

• Internet-based services, and

• support services

for this software, unless other terms accompany those items. If so,

those terms apply.

BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT

THEM, DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE. INSTEAD, RETURN IT TO THE RETAILER FOR A

REFUND OR CREDIT. If you cannot obtain a refund there, contact Microsoft

or the Microsoft affiliate serving your country for information about

Microsoft’s refund policies. See www.microsoft.com/worldwide. In the

United States and Canada, call (800) MICROSOFT or see

www.microsoft.com/info/nareturns.htm.

AS DESCRIBED BELOW, USING THE SOFTWARE ALSO OPERATES AS YOUR CONSENT TO

THE TRANSMISSION OF CERTAIN COMPUTER INFORMATION DURING ACTIVATION,

VALIDATION AND FOR INTERNET-BASED SERVICES.

IF YOU COMPLY WITH THESE LICENSE TERMS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHTS BELOW FOR

EACH LICENSE YOU ACQUIRE.

1. OVERVIEW. These license terms permit installation and use of a

copy of the software on three devices, along with other rights, all as

described below.

2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. Before you use the software under a

license, you must assign that license to a device. That device is a

“licensed device.” A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a

separate device.

a. Licensed Device. You may install one copy of the software on three

licensed devices in your household for use by people who reside there.

The software is not licensed for use in any commercial, non-profit, or

revenue-generating business activities.

b. Separation of Components. The components of the software are

licensed as a single unit. You may not separate the components and

install them on different devices.

3. ADDITIONAL LICENSING REQUIREMENTS AND/OR USE RIGHTS.

a. Remote Access. The single primary user of a licensed device may

access and use the software installed on the licensed device remotely

from any other device. You may allow other users to access the software

to provide you with support services. You do not need additional

licenses for this access. No other person may use the software under the

same license at the same time for any other purpose.

b. Media Elements and Templates. You may copy and use images, clip

art, animations, sounds, music, shapes, video clips and templates

provided with the software and identified for such use in documents and

projects that you create. You may distribute those documents and

projects non-commercially. If you wish to use these media elements or

templates for any other purpose, go to www.microsoft.com/permission to

learn whether that use is allowed.

c. Font Components. While the software is running, you may use its

fonts to display and print content. You may only

• embed fonts in content as permitted by the embedding restrictions in

the fonts; and

• temporarily download them to a printer or other output device to help

print content.

d. Multiplexing. Hardware or software you use to

• pool connections, or

• reduce the number of devices or users that directly access or use the

software

(sometimes referred to as “multiplexing” or “pooling”), does not reduce

the number of licenses you need.

e. Trial and Conversion. Some or all of the software may be licensed

on a trial basis. Your rights to use trial software are limited to the

trial period. The trial software and length of the trial period are set

forth during the activation process. You may have the option to convert

your trial rights to subscription or perpetual rights. Conversion

options will be presented to you at the expiration of your trial period.

After the expiration of any trial period without conversion, most

features of the trial software will stop running. At that time you can

continue to open, view and print any documents you created with the trial

software.

f. Subscription Software. If you licensed the software on a

subscription basis, your rights to use the software are limited to the

subscription period. You may have the option to extend your subscription

or convert to a perpetual license. If you extend your subscription, you

may continue using the software until the end of your extended

subscription period. See the software activation screens or other

accompanying materials for subscription details. After the expiration of

your subscription, most features of the software will stop running. At

that time you can continue to open, view and print any documents you

created with the software.

g. Development Tools. The software may contain Microsoft Visual

Studio Tools for Applications or other development tools. You may use

any development tools included in the software only to design, develop,

test, use and demonstrate your programs with the software.

4. MANDATORY ACTIVATION. Activation associates the use of the

software with a specific device. During activation, the software will

send information about the software and the device to Microsoft. This

information includes the version, the license version, language and the

product ID of the software, Internet protocol address of the device and

information derived from the hardware configuration. For more

information, see www.microsoft.com/piracy/activation.mspx. BY USING THE

SOFTWARE, YOU CONSENT TO THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS INFORMATION. After the

time recommended for activation expires, your rights to use the software

will be limited until the software is activated. This is to prevent its

unlicensed use. You can activate the software by Internet or telephone;

Internet and telephone service charges may apply. Some changes to your

computer components or the software may require you to reactivate the

software. THE SOFTWARE WILL REMIND YOU TO ACTIVATE UNTIL YOU DO.

5. VALIDATION.

a. The software will from time to time update or require download of

the validation feature of the software. Validation verifies that the

software has been activated and is properly licensed. Validation also

permits you to use certain features of the software or to obtain

additional benefits. For more information, see

www.microsoft.com/genuine/office/WhyValidate.aspx.

b. During a validation check, the software will send information about

the software to Microsoft. This information includes the version of the

software and the product key. Microsoft does not use the information to

identify or contact you. BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU CONSENT TO THE

TRANSMISSION OF THIS INFORMATION. For more information, see

www.microsoft.com/genuine/office/PrivacyInfo.aspx.

c. If the software is not properly licensed, the functionality of the

software may be affected. For example, you may need to reactivate the

software, or receive reminders to obtain a properly licensed copy of the

software, or not obtain certain updates, upgrades or services from

Microsoft.

d. You may only obtain updates or upgrades for the software from

Microsoft or authorized sources. For more information on obtaining

updates from authorized sources, see

www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/faq.aspx.

6. INTERNET-BASED SERVICES. Microsoft provides Internet-based

services with the software. Except as otherwise noted in materials

accompanying a service, it may change or cancel them at any time.

a. Consent for Internet-Based Services. The software features

described below connect to Microsoft or service provider computer systems

over the Internet. In some cases, you will not receive a separate notice

when they connect. Unless otherwise noted, you may switch off these

features or not use them. For more information about these features, see

www.office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX010986541033.aspx. BY USING THESE

FEATURES, YOU CONSENT TO THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS INFORMATION. Microsoft

does not use the information to identify or contact you.

Computer Information. The following features use Internet protocols,

which send to the appropriate systems computer information, such as your

Internet protocol address, the type of operating system, browser and name

and version of the software you are using, and the language code of the

device where you installed the software. Microsoft uses this information

to make the Internet-based services available to you.

• Web Content Features. Features in the software can retrieve related

content from Microsoft and provide it to you. Examples of these features

are clip art, templates, online training, online assistance and Appshelp.

You may choose not to use these web content features.

• Digital Certificates. The software uses digital certificates. These

digital certificates confirm the identity of Internet users sending X.509

standard encrypted information. They also can be used to digitally sign

files and macros to verify the integrity and origin of the file contents.

The software retrieves certificates and updates certificate revocation

lists using the Internet, when available.

• Information Rights Management. The software contains a feature that

allows you to create content that cannot be printed, copied or sent to

others without your permission. You may need to connect to Microsoft to

use this feature for the first time. Once a year, you may need to reconnect

to Microsoft to update it. For more information, go to

www.office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010397891033.aspx. You may

choose not to use this feature.

b. Misuse of Internet-based Services. You may not use these services

in any way that could harm them or impair anyone else’s use of them. You

may not use the services to try to gain unauthorized access to any

service, data, account or network by any means.

7. SCOPE OF LICENSE. The software is licensed, not sold. This

agreement only gives you some rights to use the software. Microsoft and

if applicable your manufacturer, reserve all other rights. Unless

applicable law gives you more rights despite this limitation, you may use

the software only as expressly permitted in this agreement. In doing so,

you must comply with any technical limitations in the software that only

allow you to use it in certain ways. For more information, see

www.microsoft.com/licensing/userights. You may not:

• work around any technical limitations in the software;

• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except and

only to the extent that applicable law expressly permits, despite this

limitation;

• make more copies of the software than specified in this agreement or

allowed by applicable law, despite this limitation;

• publish the software for others to copy;

• use the software in any way that is against the law;

• rent, lease or lend the software; or

• use the software for commercial software hosting services.

8. BACKUP COPY. You may make one backup copy of the media. You may

use it only to reinstall the software.

9. DOCUMENTATION. Any person that has valid access to your computer

or internal network may copy and use the documentation for your internal,

reference purposes.

10. NOT FOR RESALE SOFTWARE. You may not sell software marked as “NFR”

or “Not for Resale.”

11. MILITARY APPRECIAION EDITION SOFTWARE. You must be a “Qualified

Military User” to use software marked as “Military Appreciation Edition.”

To be a Qualified Military User, you must be:

• Active U. S. Military personnel with valid Military identification;

• Retired U.S. Military personnel with valid Military identification; or

• Dependent of U.S. Military personnel meeting one of the above criteria

with a valid Military identification.

12. UPGRADE OR CONVERSION. To upgrade or convert software, you must

first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade or

conversion. Upon upgrade or conversion, this agreement takes the place

of the agreement for the software you upgraded or converted from. After

you upgrade or convert, you may no longer use the earlier version of the

software you upgraded or converted from.

13. PROOF OF LICENSE.

a. Genuine Proof of License. If you acquired the software on a disc

or other media, a genuine Microsoft proof of license label with a genuine

copy of the software identifies software licensed under the terms of this

agreement. To be valid, this label must appear on Microsoft packaging.

If you receive the label separately, it is invalid. You should keep the

packaging that has the label on it to prove that you are licensed to use

the software. If you acquire the software without a disc or other media,

your proof of purchase and any accompanying collateral from your merchant

identifying the software is your proof of license. Proof of purchase may

be subject to verification by your merchant’s records.

b. Upgrade or Conversion License. If you upgrade or convert the

software, your proof of license is identified by

• the genuine Microsoft proof of license for the software you upgraded or

converted from; and

• proof of purchase and any accompanying collateral from a merchant

identifying the software you upgraded or converted to. Proof of purchase

may be subject to verification by your merchant’s records.

c. To identify genuine Microsoft software, see www.howtotell.com.

14. REASSIGN TO ANOTHER DEVICE. You may reassign the license to a

different device any number of times, but not more than one time every 90

days. If you reassign, that other device becomes the “licensed device.”

If you retire the licensed device due to hardware failure, you may

reassign the license sooner.

15. TRANSFER TO A THIRD PARTY. The first user of the software may make

a one-time transfer of the software, and this agreement, directly to a

third party. The first user must uninstall the software before

transferring it separately from the device. The first user may not

retain any copies. Before any permitted transfer, the other party must

agree that this agreement applies to the transfer and use of the

software. The transfer must include the proof of license. If the

software is an upgrade, any transfer must also include all prior versions

of the software. Military Appreciation Edition software is only

transferable to other Qualified Military Users.

16. EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. The software is subject to United States

export laws and regulations. You must comply with all domestic and

international export laws and regulations that apply to the software.

These laws include restrictions on destinations, end users and end use.

For additional information, see www.microsoft.com/exporting.

17. SUPPORT SERVICES. Microsoft provides support services for the

software as described at

www.support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx.

18. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This agreement (including the warranty below),

any addendum or amendment included with the software, and the terms for

supplements, updates, Internet-based services and support services that

you use, are the entire agreement for the software and support services.

19. APPLICABLE LAW.

a. United States. If you acquired the software in the United States,

Washington state law governs the interpretation of this agreement and

applies to claims for breach of it, regardless of conflict of laws

principles. The laws of the state where you live govern all other

claims, including claims under state consumer protection laws, unfair

competition laws, and in tort.

b. Outside the United States. If you acquired the software in any

other country, the laws of that country apply.

20. LEGAL EFFECT. This agreement describes certain legal rights. You

may have other rights under the laws of your state or country. You may

also have rights with respect to the party from whom you acquired the

software. This agreement does not change your rights under the laws of

your state or country if the laws of your state or country do not permit

it to do so.

21. LIMITATION ON AND EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES. YOU CAN RECOVER FROM

MICROSOFT AND ITS SUPPLIERS ONLY DIRECT DAMAGES UP TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID

FOR THE SOFTWARE. YOU CANNOT RECOVER ANY OTHER DAMAGES, INCLUDING

CONSEQUENTIAL, LOST PROFITS, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.

This limitation applies to

• anything related to the software, services, content (including code) on

third party Internet sites, or third party programs; and

• claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, guarantee or

condition, strict liability, negligence, or other tort to the extent

permitted by applicable law.

It also applies even if

• repair, replacement or a refund for the software does not fully

compensate you for any losses; or

• Microsoft knew or should have known about the possibility of the

damages.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or

consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply

to you. They also may not apply to you because your country may not

allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or other

damages.

2. OEM LICENSE TERMS

These license terms are an agreement between you and the device

manufacturer that distributes the software with the device, or the

software installer that distributes the software with the device. Please

read them. They apply to the software that accompanies these license

terms, which includes the media on which you received it, if any.

Printed paper license terms, which may come with the software, take the

place of any on-screen license terms. The terms also apply to any

Microsoft

• updates,

• supplements,

• Internet-based services, and

• support services

for this software, unless other terms accompany those items. If so,

those terms apply. If you obtain updates or supplements directly from

MS, then these terms apply except that Microsoft, not the manufacturer or

installer, licenses those to you.

By using the software, you accept these terms. If you do not accept

them, do not use the software. Instead, contact the manufacturer or

installer to determine their return policy for a refund or credit.

As described below, using the software also operates as your consent to

the transmission of certain computer information during activation,

validation, and for Internet-based services.

If you comply with these license terms, you have the rights below for

each license you acquire.

1. OVERVIEW. These license terms permit installation and use of one

copy of the software on one device, along with other rights, all as

described below.

2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. The software license is permanently

assigned to the device with which you acquired the software. That device

is the “licensed device.” A hardware partition or blade is considered to

be a separate device.

a. Licensed Device. You may install one copy of the software on the

licensed device in your household for use by people who reside there.

The software is not licensed for use in any commercial, non-profit, or

revenue-generating business activities.

b. Separation of Components. The components of the software are licensed

as a single unit. You may not separate the components and install them

on different devices.

3. ADDITIONAL LICENSING REQUIREMENTS AND/OR USE RIGHTS.

a. Remote Access. The single primary user of the licensed device may
