August 31, 2012
We've updated the [Microsoft Services Agreement], which governs many
of our online services - including your Microsoft account and many of
our online products and services for consumers, such as Hotmail,
SkyDrive, Bing, MSN, Office.com, Windows Live Messenger, Windows
Photo Gallery, Windows Movie Maker, Windows Mail Desktop, and
Windows Writer. Please read over the new Microsoft Services
Agreement [here] to familiarize yourself with the changes we've made.
Microsoft Services Agreement
The updated agreement will take effect on October 19, 2012. If you
continue to use our services after October 19th, you agree to
the terms of the new agreement or, of course you can cancel your
service at any time.
We have modified the agreement to make it easier to read and
understand, including using a question and answer format that we
believe makes the terms much clearer. We also clarified how
Microsoft uses your content to better protect consumers and improve
our products, including aligning our usage to the way we're designing
our cloud services to be highly integrated across many Microsoft
products. We realize you may have personal conversations and store
personal files using our products, and we want you to know that we
prioritize your privacy.
Finally, we have added a binding arbitration clause and class action
waiver that affects how disputes with Microsoft will be resolved in
the United States.
Thank you for using Microsoft products and services!
