MicrosoftMPI Redistributable EULA
These license terms are an agreement between you and Microsoft Corporation (or one of its
affiliates). They apply to the software named above and any Microsoft services or software
updates (except to the extent such services or updates are accompanied by new or additional
terms, in which case those different terms apply prospectively and do not alter your or Microsoft’s
rights relating to pre-updated software or services). IF YOU COMPLY WITH THESE LICENSE
TERMS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHTS BELOW. BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS.
1. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.
a) General. You may install and use any number of copies of the software to run your
applications, and solely for use on Windows.
b) Third Party Software. The software may include third party applications that Microsoft,
not the third party, licenses to you under this agreement. Any included notices for third
party applications are for your information only.
2. DISTRIBUTABLE CODE. The software contains code you are permitted to distribute (i.e. make
available for third parties) in applications you develop, as described in this Section.
a) Distribution Rights. The files described below are distributable if included with the
software.
i. Binary Files. You may copy and distribute binary files in applications you develop; and
ii. Third Party Distribution. You may permit distributors of your applications to copy and
distribute any of this distributable code you elect to distribute with your applications.
b) Distribution Requirements. For any files you distribute, you must:
iii. add significant primary functionality to it in your applications;
iv. require distributors and external end users to agree to terms that protect it and
Microsoft at least as much as this agreement; and
v. indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Microsoft from any claims, including attorneys’
fees, related to the distribution or use of your applications, except to the extent that
any claim is based solely on the unmodified distributable code.
c) Distribution Restrictions. You may not:
vi. use Microsoft’s trademarks or trade dress in your application in any way that suggests
your application comes from or is endorsed by Microsoft; or
vii. modify or distribute the source code of any distributable code so that any part of it
becomes subject to any license that requires that the distributable code, any other
part of the software, or any of Microsoft’s other intellectual property be disclosed or
distributed in source code form, or that others have the right to modify it.
3. SCOPE OF LICENSE. The software is licensed, not sold. Microsoft reserves all other rights.
Unless applicable law gives you more rights despite this limitation, you will not (and have no
right to):
a) work around any technical limitations in the software that only allow you to use it in
certain ways;
b) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the software, or attempt to do so, except and
only to the extent permitted by licensing terms governing the use of open-source
components that may be included with the software;
c) remove, minimize, block, or modify any notices of Microsoft or its suppliers in the
software;
d) use the software in any way that is against the law or to create or propagate malware; or
e) share, publish, distribute, or lend the software (except for any distributable code, subject
to the terms above), provide the software as a stand-alone hosted solution for others to
use, or transfer the software or this agreement to any third party.
4. EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. You must comply with all domestic and international export laws
and regulations that apply to the software, which include restrictions on destinations, end
users, and end use. For further information on export restrictions, visit
http://aka.ms/exporting.
5. SUPPORT SERVICES. Microsoft is not obligated under this agreement to provide any support
services for the software. Any support provided is “as is”, “with all faults”, and without
warranty of any kind.
6. UPDATES. The software may periodically check for updates, and download and install them
for you. You may obtain updates only from Microsoft or authorized sources. Microsoft may
need to update your system to provide you with updates. You agree to receive these
automatic updates without any additional notice. Updates may not include or support all
existing software features, services, or peripheral devices.
7. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This agreement, and any other terms Microsoft may provide for
supplements, updates, or third-party applications, is the entire agreement for the software.
8. APPLICABLE LAW AND PLACE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES. If you acquired the software 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 this agreement,
claims for its breach, and all other claims (including consumer protection, unfair competition,
and tort claims), regardless of conflict of laws principles. If you acquired the software in any
other country, its laws apply. If U.S. federal jurisdiction exists, you and Microsoft consent to
exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal court in King County, Washington for all
disputes heard in court. If not, you and Microsoft consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue
in the Superior Court of King County, Washington for all disputes heard in court.
9. CONSUMER RIGHTS; REGIONAL VARIATIONS. This agreement describes certain legal rights.
You may have other rights, including consumer rights, under the laws of your state or
country. Separate and apart from your relationship with Microsoft, you may also have rights
with respect to the party from which you acquired the software. This agreement does not
change those other rights if the laws of your state or country do not permit it to do so. For
example, if you acquired the software in one of the below regions, or mandatory country law
applies, then the following provisions apply to you:
a) Australia. You have statutory guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law and nothing in this
agreement is intended to affect those rights.
b) Canada. If you acquired this software in Canada, you may stop receiving updates by turning off the
automatic update feature, disconnecting your device from the Internet (if and when you re-connect to
the Internet, however, the software will resume checking for and installing updates), or uninstalling
the software. The product documentation, if any, may also specify how to turn off updates for your
specific device or software.
c) Germany and Austria.
i. Warranty. The properly licensed software will perform substantially as described in any Microsoft
materials that accompany the software. However, Microsoft gives no contractual guarantee in
relation to the licensed software.
ii. Limitation of Liability. In case of intentional conduct, gross negligence, claims based on the
Product Liability Act, as well as, in case of death or personal or physical injury, Microsoft is liable
according to the statutory law.
Subject to the foregoing clause ii., Microsoft will only be liable for slight negligence if
Microsoft is in breach of such material contractual obligations, the fulfillment of which
facilitate the due performance of this agreement, the breach of which would endanger the
purpose of this agreement and the compliance with which a party may constantly trust in
(so-called "cardinal obligations"). In other cases of slight negligence, Microsoft will not be
liable for slight negligence.
10. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. THE SOFTWARE IS LICENSED “AS IS.” YOU BEAR THE RISK OF
USING IT. MICROSOFT GIVES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES, OR CONDITIONS.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS, MICROSOFT EXCLUDES ALL IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT.
11. LIMITATION ON AND EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES. IF YOU HAVE ANY BASIS FOR RECOVERING
DAMAGES DESPITE THE PRECEDING DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY, YOU CAN RECOVER FROM
MICROSOFT AND ITS SUPPLIERS ONLY DIRECT DAMAGES UP TO U.S. $5.00. YOU CANNOT
RECOVER ANY OTHER DAMAGES, INCLUDING CONSEQUENTIAL, LOST PROFITS, SPECIAL,
INDIRECT, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.
This limitation applies to (a) anything related to the software, services, content (including
code) on third party Internet sites, or third party applications; and (b) claims for breach of
contract, warranty, guarantee, or condition; strict liability, negligence, or other tort; or any
other claim; in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law.
It also applies even if Microsoft knew or should have known about the possibility of the
damages. The above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you because your state,
province, or country may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential, or
other damages.
Please note: As this software is distributed in Canada, some of the clauses in this agreement are
provided below in French.
Remarque: Ce logiciel étant distribué au Canada, certaines des clauses dans ce contrat sont
fournies ci-dessous en français.
EXONÉRATION DE GARANTIE. Le logiciel visé par une licence est offert « tel quel ». Toute
utilisation de ce logiciel est à votre seule risque et péril. Microsoft n’accorde aucune autre
garantie expresse. Vous pouvez bénéficier de droits additionnels en vertu du droit local sur la
protection des consommateurs, que ce contrat ne peut modifier. La ou elles sont permises par le
droit locale, les garanties implicites de qualité marchande, d’adéquation à un usage particulier et
d’absence de contrefaçon sont exclues.
LIMITATION DES DOMMAGES-INTÉRÊTS ET EXCLUSION DE RESPONSABILITÉ POUR LES
DOMMAGES. Vous pouvez obtenir de Microsoft et de ses fournisseurs une indemnisation en cas de
dommages directs uniquement à hauteur de 5,00 $ US. Vous ne pouvez prétendre à aucune
indemnisation pour les autres dommages, y compris les dommages spéciaux, indirects ou
accessoires et pertes de bénéfices.
Cette limitation concerne:
• tout ce qui est relié au logiciel, aux services ou au contenu (y compris le code) figurant sur
des sites Internet tiers ou dans des programmes tiers; et
• les réclamations au titre de violation de contrat ou de garantie, ou au titre de responsabilité
stricte, de négligence ou d’une autre faute dans la limite autorisée par la loi en vigueur.
Elle s’applique également, même si Microsoft connaissait ou devrait connaître l’éventualité d’un
tel dommage. Si votre pays n’autorise pas l’exclusion ou la limitation de responsabilité pour les
dommages indirects, accessoires ou de quelque nature que ce soit, il se peut que la limitation ou
l’exclusion ci-dessus ne s’appliquera pas à votre égard.
EFFET JURIDIQUE. Le présent contrat décrit certains droits juridiques. Vous pourriez avoir
d’autres droits prévus par les lois de votre pays. Le présent contrat ne modifie pas les droits que
vous confèrent les lois de votre pays si celles-ci ne le permettent pas.
