IF YOU LIVE IN (OR YOUR PRINCIPAL
PLACE OF BUSINESS IS IN) THE UNITED STATES, PLEASE READ THE BINDING ARBITRATION
CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION 10. IT AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED.
These terms ("Terms") cover the use of the Microsoft
Kaizala Web online service (the "Service"). These Terms are an agreement between you and Microsoft
Corporation. You accept these Terms through your use of the Service or by
continuing to use the Service after being notified of a change to these Terms.
1.
USE OF THE SERVICE.
a.
Your Use.
You may use the Service in accordance with these Terms. You need to be a
licensed user of the Kaizala software in order to use the Service.
2.
INTERNET-BASED SERVICES
a.
Consent for Internet-based or
wireless services. If the Service connects to computer systems over the
Internet, which may include via a wireless network, using the Service operates
as your consent to the transmission of standard device information (including
but not limited to technical information about your device, system, and
peripherals) for Internet-based or wireless services. If other terms are
presented in connection with your use of services accessed using the Service,
those terms also apply.
b.
Misuse of Internet-based services. You
may not use any Internet-based service in any way that could harm it or impair
anyone else's use of it or the wireless network. You may not use the service to
try to gain unauthorized access to any service, data, account, or network by
any means.
3. PRIVACY.
Your privacy is important to us. Please read the Microsoft
Privacy Statement (the "Microsoft Privacy Statement")
as it describes the types of data we collect from you and your devices ("Data"),
how we use your Data, and the legal basis we have to process your Data. The
Privacy Statement also describes how Microsoft uses your content, which is your
communications with others; postings submitted by you to Microsoft via the
Service; and the files, photos, documents, audio, digital works, livestreams
and videos that you upload, store, broadcast or share through the Service
("Your Content"). Where processing is based on consent and to
the extent permitted by law, by agreeing to these Terms, you consent to
Microsoft's collection, use and disclosure of Your Content and Data as
described in the Privacy Statement. In some cases, we will provide separate
notice and request your consent as referenced in the Privacy Statement.
4.
DATA
COLLECTION. The Service transmits information about you and your use of
the Service to Microsoft. Microsoft may
use this information to provide services and improve Microsoft's products and
services. Microsoft deletes any personal identifiers (such as IP address) from
this data when it is collected and deletes data we collect after one year.
Microsoft uses a variety of security technologies and procedures to help
protect data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Your
opt-out rights, if any, are described in the Microsoft Privacy Statement. Some
features in the Service may enable collection of data from users of your
applications that access or use the Service. 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 Microsoft Privacy Statement at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=521839. You agree to comply with all applicable provisions
of the Microsoft Privacy Statement. Children are not intended users of the Service
and Microsoft's collection of data from children will adhere to the Microsoft
Privacy Statement.
5. YOUR SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS IN
USER GROUPS. The
Service enables you to create user groups. You may provide your services and
applications (e.g., your custom action or bot) within your groups provided (a)
you inform each user upon joining your group that you own the group and are
solely responsible for your services and applications, (b) your services and
applications comply with applicable law and are governed by your terms of use,
(c) your services and applications do not subject the service in any way to
obligations beyond those explicitly included in these Terms, and (d) you
indemnify and defend Microsoft against, and hold Microsoft harmless from, any
claims related to your services and applications. Microsoft assumes no responsibility or
liability whatsoever for your services and applications.

follow these rules:

Enforcement.
If you violate these Terms, we may stop providing the Service to you or we may

alleged violations of these Terms, Microsoft reserves the right to review your
use in order to resolve the issue. However, we cannot monitor the entire
Service and make no attempt to do so.
l.
Creating an Account.
You can create a Kaizala account by signing up via the Kaizala mobile
application. You agree not to use any false, inaccurate or misleading
information when signing up for your Kaizala account. You cannot transfer your Kaizala
account credentials to another user or entity. To protect your account, keep
your account details and password confidential. You are responsible for all
activity that occurs under your Kaizala account.
m.
Additional Equipment/Data Plans.
To use the Service, you'll need an Internet connection and/or data/cellular
plan. You are responsible for providing all connections and plans needed to use
the Service and for paying the fees charged by the provider(s) of your
connections and plans. Those fees are in addition to any fees you pay us for
the Service and we will not reimburse you for such fees. Check with your
provider(s) to determine if there are any such fees that may apply to you.
n.
Support.
Microsoft is not obligated to provide
any support services for the Service. Any support provided is "as is", "with
all faults", and without warranty of any kind.
o.
Ending the Service.
If the Service is canceled (whether by you or us), first your right to access
the Service stops immediately. Second, we'll delete Data or Your Content
associated with your Service or will otherwise disassociate it from you and
your Kaizala account (unless we are required by law to keep it, return it, or
transfer it to you or a third party identified by you). As a result
you may no longer be able to access any of the Service (or Your Content that
you've stored on the Service).
7.
USING THIRD-PARTY APPS AND SERVICES.
The Service may allow you to access or acquire products, services, websites,
links, content, material, games, skills, integrations, bots or applications
from independent third parties (companies or people who aren't Microsoft) ("Third-Party
Apps and Services"). The Service also helps you find, make requests
to, or interact with Third-Party Apps and Services or allows you to share Your
Content or Data, and you understand that you are directing the Service to
provide Third-Party Apps and Services to you. The Third-Party Apps and Services
may allow you to store Your Content or Data with the publisher, provider or
operator of the Third-Party Apps and Services. The Third-Party Apps and
Services may present you with a privacy policy or require you to accept additional
terms before you can install or use the Third-Party App or Service. You should
review any additional terms and privacy policies before acquiring, using,
requesting, or linking your Kaizala Account to any Third-Party Apps and
Services. Any additional terms do not modify any of these Terms. You are
responsible for your dealings with third parties. Microsoft does not license
any intellectual property to you as part of any Third-Party Apps and Services
and is not responsible or liable to you or others for information or services
provided by any Third-Party Apps and Services.
8.
SERVICE AVAILABILITY.
a.
The Service, Third-Party Apps and
Services, or material or products offered through the Service may be
unavailable from time to time, may be offered for a limited time, or may vary
depending on your region or device. If you change the location associated with
your Kaizala account, you may need to re-acquire the material or applications
that were available to you and paid for in your previous region.
b.
We strive to keep the Service up and
running; however, all online services suffer occasional disruptions and
outages, and Microsoft is not liable for any disruption or loss you may suffer
as a result. In the event of an outage, you may not be able to retrieve Your
Content or Data that you've stored. We recommend that you regularly backup Your
Content and Data that you store on the Service or store using Third-Party Apps
and Services.
9.
UPDATES TO THE SERVICE AND CHANGES
TO THESE TERMS.
a.
We may change these Terms at any time,
and we'll tell you when we do. Using the Service after the changes become
effective means you agree to the new terms. If you don't agree to the new
terms, you must stop using the Service.
b.
Additionally, there may be times
when we need to remove or change features or functionality of the Service or
stop providing a Service or access to Third-Party Apps and Services altogether.
Except to the extent required by applicable law, we have no obligation to
provide a re-download or replacement of any material or applications previously
purchased.
10.

place of business is in) the United States.

If you and Microsoft can't, you and Microsoft agree to binding individual
arbitration before the American Arbitration Association under the Federal
Arbitration Act ("FAA"), and not to sue in court in front of a judge or jury.
Instead, a neutral arbitrator will decide. Class action lawsuits, class-wide
arbitrations, private attorney-general actions, and any other proceeding where
someone acts in a representative capacity are not allowed; nor is combining
individual proceedings without the consent of all parties. The complete
Arbitration Agreement contains more terms and is at
http://aka.ms/arb-agreement-1. You and Microsoft agree to these terms.
11.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT. These Terms, and any other terms Microsoft may
provide for supplements, updates, or third-party applications, is the entire
agreement for the Service.
12.
APPLICABLE LAW.
a.
United States and Canada. If you
acquired the application 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 these terms, claims for
breach of them, and all other claims (including consumer protection, unfair
competition, and tort claims), regardless of conflict of law principles.
b.
Outside the United States and
Canada. If you acquired the application in any other country, the laws of that
country apply.
13. Warranties.

EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER YOUR LOCAL LAW, WE EXCLUDE ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
INCLUDING FOR MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, WORKMANLIKE EFFORT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU MAY HAVE CERTAIN RIGHTS
UNDER YOUR LOCAL LAW. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS IS INTENDED TO AFFECT THOSE
RIGHTS, IF THEY ARE APPLICABLE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT COMPUTER AND
TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS ARE NOT FAULT-FREE AND OCCASIONAL PERIODS OF
DOWNTIME OCCUR. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY,
SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT CONTENT LOSS WON'T OCCUR, NOR DO WE GUARANTEE ANY
CONNECTION TO OR TRANSMISSION FROM THE COMPUTER NETWORKS.
14. Limitation
of Liability. Limitation of Liability. If you have
any basis for recovering damages (including breach of these Terms), you agree
that your exclusive remedy is to recover, from Microsoft or any affiliates,
resellers, distributors, Third-Party Apps and Services providers, and vendors,
direct damages up to $10.00. You can't recover any other damages or losses,
including direct, consequential, lost profits, special, indirect, incidental,
or punitive. These limitations and exclusions apply even if this remedy
doesn't fully compensate you for any losses or fails of its essential purpose
or if we knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages. To the
maximum extent permitted by law, these limitations and exclusions apply to
anything or any claims related to these Terms or the Service.
