ORDERING, PRICING, PAYMENTS, RENEWALS AND TAXES 3.1 Ordering. Customer shall place an Order for each Subscription for a Service via any means made available by Microsoft for such Ordering. If Customer desires to use the Service for more than the total number of User Licenses available through the Service level it subscribed to, it must subscribe to the appropriate Service level prior to commencing any such use. If Customer desires to reduce the total number of Users, it may do so, subject to the cancellation fees set forth in Section 4.2. Any Services added to a Subscription will expire at the end of the Term. Each Subscription shall be for a defined Term (e.g., 30 days or 12 months). Customer may place Orders for its Affiliates under this Agreement and grant its Affiliates administrative rights to manage the Services. Affiliates may not place Orders under this Agreement. To the extent Customer grants any rights to Affiliates, such Affiliates shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Customer may be required to pay the Subscription Fee in advance, in arrears or both. Microsoft may charge Customer at one time for more than one billing period. Subscription Fees are available via the Order or other means made available by Microsoft. Payments are due and must be paid in accordance with the Order. Price level changes are not retroactive. Prices for each price level are fixed at the time the Subscription is first placed and apply throughout the Term. Subscription Fees are subject to change at the beginning of any Subscription renewal. 3.3 Renewal. Unless the offer specifically states otherwise, Customer’s Subscription will automatically renew at the expiration of the Term. 3.4 New agreement. Prior to placing new Orders, renewing any Subscriptions, or further use of the Services, and upon notice, Microsoft may require that Customer enter into an updated agreement to govern Orders, renewal Subscriptions, or usage from that date forward. 3.5 Taxes and other Incidental Charges. The prices and rate plans do not include any taxes, phone and Internet access charges, mobile text messaging, wireless service and other data transmissions, unless stated otherwise. Customer is responsible for all such incidental charges and any taxes and it is legally obligated to pay including, but not limited to, paying Microsoft any applicable value added, sales or use taxes or like taxes that are permitted to be collected from Customer by Microsoft under applicable law. If any taxes are required by law to be withheld on payments made by Customer to Microsoft, Customer may deduct such taxes from the amount owed Microsoft and pay them to the appropriate taxing authority; provided, however, that Customer shall promptly secure and deliver to Microsoft an official receipt for any such taxes withheld or other documents necessary to enable Microsoft to claim a Foreign Tax Credit. Customer will make certain that any taxes withheld are minimized to the extent possible under applicable law. 3.6 Refunds. All charges are non-refundable unless expressly stated otherwise, or otherwise provided by law. 3.7 Late Payments. Except to the extent prohibited by law, Microsoft may assess a late charge if Customer does not pay on time, regardless of any disputes Customer may have raised about its bill. Customer must pay these late charges as and when billed by Microsoft. The late charge will be the lesser of 1% of the unpaid amount each month or the maximum rate that is permitted by law. Microsoft may use a third party to collect past due amounts. Customer must pay for all reasonable costs incurred by Microsoft to collect any past due amounts. These costs may include reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal fees and costs. Microsoft may suspend or cancel the Service if Customer does not pay in full and on time. 4. TERM AND TERMINATION 4.1 Termination by Microsoft. Microsoft may cancel or suspend Customer’s use of the Service or a portion thereof at any time if Customer violates the terms of this Agreement, if Microsoft believes that Customer’s use of the Service represents a direct or indirect threat to its network function or integrity or anyone else’s use of the Service, or if Microsoft is otherwise required by law to do so. Upon notification by Microsoft of any such cancellation or suspension, Customer’s right to use the Service will stop immediately. Cancellation or suspension of the Service for Customer’s violation of the terms of this Agreement will not change Customer’s obligation to pay any Subscription fees due for the applicable Term. Microsoft may also cancel or suspend Customer’s use of the Service for convenience at any time during the Term. Cancellation or suspension for convenience will only be effective upon a 3-month notification by Microsoft. 4.2 Termination by Customer. Customer may terminate a Subscription or reduce the number of User Licenses at any time during its Term. A termination will be effective at the end of the monthly Subscription cycle during which customer terminates the Subscription or reduces the number of User Licenses. Customer must pay for the period prior to the termination effective date. If customer terminates a one year Subscription within 30 days of the date on which the Subscription became effective or was renewed, customer must pay for the initial 30 days of the Subscription. No payments will be due for the remainder of the Subscription. If customer terminates a Subscription or reduces the number of User Licenses at any other time during the Term, Customer must pay 25% of the Subscription fee otherwise due for the remainder of the one year Term. If Customers cancel the Services in order to migrate to Microsoft’s on-premise or partner-hosted offerings, the cancellation fee will be waived; provided, however, that this waiver is only available in connection with active Subscriptions for which Customer has paid at least three months of Subscription Fees. Customer must provide proof of purchase of the on-premise or partner-hosted offering in order to have its cancellation fee waived. To begin the migration process, Customer should call Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online support. To find regional support contact information, go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=76092. Notwithstanding any amounts due as a consequence of provisioning the Services prior to a migration, no cancellation fee will be owed to Microsoft if Customer migrates to another Microsoft-operated online services platform. If you Order the Service under a special promotional offer that includes a rebate given for each User License that you Order and you later cancel your Subscription (for some or all of the User Licenses obtained under the special promotional offer) before the end of the Term stipulated in the special promotional offer, then you will be required to repay the full rebate that you received for every User License that you cancel under your Subscription. 4.3 Effect of termination. Upon termination or cancellation of the Service by either party for any reason, Microsoft may delete Customer’s Content permanently from its servers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Microsoft will keep Customer’s Content for a period of 90 days before it is deleted from Microsoft’s servers. Customer is solely responsible for taking the necessary steps to back up its Content and ensure that it maintains its primary means of business. 4.4 Waiver of rights and obligations. To the extent necessary to implement the termination of this Agreement, each party waives any right and obligation under any applicable law or regulation to request or obtain intervention of the courts to terminate this Agreement. 4.5 No liability for deletion of Content. Customer acknowledges that, other than as expressly described in these terms, Microsoft will have no obligation to continue to hold, export or return Customer’s Content. Customer acknowledges that Microsoft will have no liability whatsoever for deletion of Content pursuant to these terms. 5. PRIVACY 5.1 Personal data. Personal data collected through the Service may be transferred, stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Microsoft or its service providers maintain facilities. This includes any personal data Customer collect using the Service. By using the Service, Customer consent to transfer of personal data outside of Customer’s country. Customer also agree to obtain sufficient authorization from persons providing personal data to Customer, to: • transfer that data to Microsoft and its agents, and • permit its transfer, storage and processing. If Customer is an educational institution, Customer shall be responsible for any parental consent for any end users’ use of the online service as may be required by applicable law.

Customer data will be used only to provide Customer the Service. This may include troubleshooting aimed at preventing, detecting and repairing problems affecting the operation of the Service and the improvement of features that involve the detection of, and protection against, emerging and evolving threats to the user (such as malware or spam). Microsoft will not disclose customer data to a third party (including law enforcement, other government entity, or civil litigant; excluding our subcontractors) except as Customer direct or unless required by law. Should a third party contact Microsoft with a demand for customer data, Microsoft will attempt to redirect the third party to request it directly from Customer. As part of that, Microsoft may provide Customer’s basic contact information to the third party. If compelled to disclose customer data to a third party, Microsoft will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer in advance of a disclosure unless legally prohibited. Customer is responsible for responding to requests by a third party regarding Customer’s use of the Service, such as a request to take down content under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. 6.

Microsoft may make services from third parties available to Customer through the Service. These third party services are the responsibility of the third party, not Microsoft. The third party service providers may require Customer to accept additional terms and conditions and/or pay a fee in order to use their services. Those additional terms and conditions are between Customer and the third party. Any third party’s use of information Customer provides as part of using their service is subject to the privacy statements and practices of that third party and/or their suppliers. Microsoft encourages Customer to review the privacy statement of these third party providers. Microsoft is not responsible for the privacy statements or privacy practices of these third party providers or their suppliers. 6.6 Third Party Software.

Microsoft will not run or make any copies of third party software licensed by the Customer except to support Customer’s use of the Service. Customer may not install or use the third party software in any way that would subject Microsoft’s intellectual property or technology to obligations beyond those included in the Agreement. Microsoft does not, and will not have any obligation to, provide technical or other support for any third party software. Microsoft does not make any representation or guaranty that any third party software will operate successfully with the Service or continue performing after an update, upgrade, services patch, support fix or platform migration has been made to the Service. 7. CUSTOMER CONTENT 7.1 Content. Customer, its Users and associated account Users may be able to post or store Content to third party or Microsoft websites made available through the Service. Customer may be able to post or provide materials (including feedback) that are part of the Service in a publicly accessible area that allows Customer to communicate with others. If so, the terms of use associated with those websites where public access is made available for Customer to share Content, as applicable, apply to Customer’s use of them. Customer acknowledges that certain technical processing for posting Content may be required to store and retrieve the Content, conform to connecting networks’ technical requirements, or conform to the limitations of the Service. 7.2 Links to third-party Web sites. The Service may contain links to third-party websites. These third-party websites are not under Microsoft’s control. If Microsoft has included these links in the Service, it provides them as a convenience only. The inclusion of these links is not an endorsement by Microsoft of any third-party website, service or product. Microsoft reserves the right to disable links to any third-party website that Customer posts on the Service. 7.3 Microsoft will not own any Content. Microsoft performs regular backups of Content for the purpose of recovery in the event of a failure in Microsoft’s data centers.

Microsoft shall not be responsible or liable for the deletion, correction, destruction, damage, loss or failure to store any Content that Customer uses with the Service. 8.

Customer is solely responsible for monitoring usage of its Service account and for any use or misuse of its Service account or the Service resulting from any associated account or any third party using any password or user name selected by or issued to Customer. If Customer is the authorized User of an associated account, then the person or entity that gave Customer access to the Service (the account holder) has full control over Customer’s associated account. This control includes the right to end the Service, close or alter Customer’s associated account at any time, and, in some cases, request and receive machine and Service usage information related to Customer’s associated account. 9. PRE-RELEASE SERVICE If the version of the Service that is Licensed to Customer is a pre-release or early access version, including its user interface, features and documentation (“Beta Version”), then it may not work the way a final version of the feature or Service will. Microsoft reserves the right to not release a commercial version of, or to change, any Beta Version of the Service at any time without notice to Customer. Any such Beta Version is confidential and proprietary to Microsoft and its suppliers. For five years after Customer subscribes to the Beta Version of the Service or the subsequent commercial version of the Service, whichever is first, Customer agrees not to disclose any Beta Version to third parties or to use any Beta Version other than for its internal purposes in connection with Customer’s use of the Service. Customer’s duty to protect the confidentiality of any Beta Version survives this Agreement. Pre-release services are provided “as-is,” “with all faults” and “as available.” You bear the risk of using pre-release services. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Microsoft parties give no express warranties, guarantees or conditions. You may have additional rights under your local laws that this Agreement cannot change. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude any implied warranties or conditions including those of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, workmanlike effort, non-infringement and satisfactory quality. 10.

This limited warranty is subject to the following limitations: · this limited warranty applies only during the Term, including any renewals ("Warranty Period"); · any implied warranties, guarantees or conditions not able to be disclaimed as a matter of law will last only during the Warranty Period; · this limited warranty does not cover problems caused by accident, abuse or use of the Services in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement, or resulting from events beyond Microsoft’s reasonable control; · this limited warranty does not apply to problems caused by the failure to meet minimum system requirements; and · this limited warranty does not apply to downtime or other interruption in access to the Services, or any other performance metrics that are addressed in an applicable SLA. 12.2 Remedies for breach of limited warranty.

These are Customer’s only remedies for breach of the limited warranty, unless other remedies are required to be provided under applicable law. 12.3 DISCLAIMER OF OTHER WARRANTIES. OTHER THAN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, MICROSOFT PROVIDES NO OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES. MICROSOFT DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. THESE DISCLAIMERS WILL APPLY UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 13. DEFENSE OF INFRINGEMENT AND MISAPPROPRIATION CLAIMS 13.1 Agreement to protect. Microsoft will defend Customer against any claims made by an unaffiliated third party that any Service or Client Software infringes that party’s patent, copyright or trademark or makes intentional unlawful use of its trade secret or undisclosed information. Microsoft will also pay the amount of any resulting adverse final judgment (or settlement to which Microsoft consents). This Section provides Customer’s exclusive remedy for these claims. The term "undisclosed information" is as defined in Article 39.2 of the TRIPs agreement. 13.2 What Customer must do. Customer must notify Microsoft promptly in writing of the claim and give Microsoft sole control over its defense or settlement. Customer must also provide Microsoft with reasonable assistance in defending the claim. Microsoft will reimburse Customer for reasonable out of pocket expenses that it incurs in providing that assistance. 13.3 Limitations on defense obligation. Microsoft’s obligations will not apply to the extent that the claim or award is based on: · Customer’s use of the Service or Client Software after Microsoft notifies it to discontinue its use due to a third party claim; · Customer’s combination of the Service or any related Client Software with a non-Microsoft product, data or business process; · damages attributable to the value of the use of a non-Microsoft product, data or business process; · Customer’s use of Microsoft’s trademark(s) without express written consent to do so; or · any trade secret or undisclosed information claim, where Customer acquires the trade secret or undisclosed information (1) through improper means; (2) under circumstances giving rise to a duty to maintain its secrecy or limit its use; or (3) from a person (other than Microsoft) who owed to the party asserting the claim a duty to maintain the secrecy or limit the use of the trade secret or undisclosed information. Customer will reimburse Microsoft for any costs or damages that result from any of the above actions. 13.4 Specific rights and remedies in case of infringement. · Microsoft’s rights in addressing possible infringement. If Microsoft receives information concerning an infringement claim related to a Service or Client Software, Microsoft may, at its expense and without obligation to do so: (1) procure for Customer the right to continue to use the allegedly infringing Service and/or Client Software, (2) modify the Service and/or Client Software, or (3) replace the Service and/or Client Software with a functional equivalent, to make it non-infringing, in which case Customer will immediately stop using the allegedly infringing Service and/or Client Software after receiving notice from Microsoft. · Customer’s specific remedy in case of injunction. If, as a result of an infringement claim, Customer’s use of a Service or Client Software is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, Microsoft will, at its option, either: (1) procure the right to continue its use; (2) replace it with a functional equivalent; (3) modify it to make it non-infringing; or (4) terminate the License for the infringing Service and/or related Client Software and refund any amounts paid in advance by Customer for unused Services. 14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 14.1 Limitation on liability. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the liability of Microsoft and of Microsoft’s contractors to Customer arising under this Agreement is limited to direct damages up to the amount Customer paid Microsoft for the Service and/or Client Software giving rise to that liability during the (1) Term or (2) twelve months prior to the filing of the claim, whichever is less. These limitations apply regardless of whether the liability is based on breach of contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, breach of warranties, or any other legal theory. However, these monetary limitations will not apply to: · Microsoft’s obligations under the Section titled "Defense of infringement and misappropriation claims"; · Customer’s use of Microsoft’s trademark(s) without express written consent to do so; · liability for damages awarded by a court of final adjudication for Microsoft’s or its employees’ or agents’ gross negligence or willful misconduct; · liabilities arising out of any breach by Microsoft of its obligations under the Section entitled "Confidentiality"; or · liability for personal injury or death caused by Microsoft’s negligence or that of its employees or agents or for fraudulent misrepresentation. 14.2 EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WHATEVER THE LEGAL BASIS FOR THE CLAIM, NEITHER PARTY, NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR SUPPLIERS, WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION) ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR IF SUCH POSSIBILITY WAS REASONABLY FORESEEABLE. HOWEVER, THIS EXCLUSION DOES NOT APPLY TO EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY TO THE OTHER FOR VIOLATION OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS OR OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. 15. VERIFYING COMPLIANCE During the Term of any Subscription and for three years thereafter, Customer must keep all usual and proper records relating to the Subscription(s) and Customer’s use of the Services and/or Client Software under this Agreement. Microsoft may request that Customer conduct an internal audit of all Services in use throughout Customer’s organization, comparing the number of User Licenses in use to the number of User Licenses issued to and/or paid for by Customer. By requesting an audit, Microsoft does not waive its rights to enforce this Agreement or to protect Microsoft’s intellectual property by any other means permitted by law. If verification or self-audit reveals any unlicensed use, Customer must promptly order sufficient Licenses to cover its past and present use. If material unlicensed use is found, Customer must reimburse Microsoft for the costs Microsoft has incurred in verification and acquire the necessary additional Licenses at single retail license cost within 30 days. 16.
