As an Admin, you represent that you have the legal authority to enter into this agreement on your organization's behalf and to bind your organization to its terms. You further agree that you or your End Users’ use of the Microsoft Store on Windows, however branded, to download, install, and use applications and content acquired by you through the Store is subject to the applicable Windows license and Microsoft Store on Windows services agreement. To the extent that there is any conflict between the terms of this Microsoft Store for Business and Education Services Agreement and the Microsoft Store on Windows terms, the terms of this Microsoft Store for Business and Education Services Agreement will prevail.

To be eligible to be an administrator of an organization for purposes of the Store (“Admin”), you must either verify that (i) you are authorized to act as a “Global Admin” on behalf of the organization that owns the credentials that you use to access the Store (through that organization’s Azure Active Directory), or (ii) you have been authorized as an Admin for the Store by your organization’s Global Admin or other administrator with authority to delegate you as an Admin.

3. Use of the Store, Applications, and Digital Goods.
- a. Access to the Store. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any non-public authentication credentials and payment information associated with your use of the Store. You must promptly notify Microsoft’s customer support team of any possible misuse of your organization’s accounts or authentication credentials or payment information or any security incident related to the Store or any product or service acquired through the Store. Your organization may designate one or more Admins to manage the organization’s use of the Store. Except as expressly prohibited by law, actions taken by an Admin using the organization’s credentials will be binding upon the organization.
- b. Licensing of Applications and Digital Goods. Through the Store, Microsoft may enable you to purchase, rent, or otherwise acquire books and other content in digital form (which are “Digital Goods” as defined in the Microsoft Services Agreement) as well as applications on behalf of End Users. Digital Goods and applications made available through the Store are licensed, not sold, to you. Applications are licensed to you under the Standard Application License Terms (the "SALT", which are available at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=530144), unless different license terms are provided with the application or in a separate agreement, in which case those terms will apply. Digital Goods are licensed to you under the usage rules for digital goods (available at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=723143 or successor URL) (the “Rules”), unless different license terms are provided with the application or in a separate agreement, in which case those terms will apply. When a third party is the application publisher or the company from which you acquire a Digital Good ("Publisher"), Microsoft is not a party to the terms between you and the Publisher and is not bound by those terms. If you have engaged a Publisher to provide applications or Digital Goods directly to your private store, your use and distribution of such application(s) or Digital Goods will be governed by the terms agreed between you and such Publisher. Microsoft is not responsible for any issues arising out of your use of Publisher’s applications or Digital Goods. Microsoft is not responsible for information provided by Publisher.

To the full extent of your authority to do so under applicable law, you consent to the Microsoft Privacy Statement and the privacy policies of Publishers on behalf of your End Users.
- e. Permissions for Microsoft Store on Windows Applications and Digital Goods; Compatibility. Many applications are designed to take advantage of specific hardware and software features of the device on which they are installed. For various reasons, applications from the Store may not install or run on all Windows devices. An application’s use of certain hardware and software features may give the application or its related service access to data. Information about device compatibility and features that an application uses is provided on the application’s product description page in the Store and the Microsoft Store on Windows. Please check the product description prior to purchase to verify that the application is compatible with the device(s) on which you intend to install it. You are responsible for providing relevant information to End Users if you distribute applications outside the Microsoft Store on Windows.
- f. Updates. The Microsoft Store on Windows will automatically download and install application updates. End Users or Tenant Admin can opt out of automatic application updates by changing Microsoft Store on Windows settings. Microsoft may also offer centralized control over application updates on organization devices via device management tools. Updated applications may use Windows hardware and software features that differ from the previous versions, which may give those applications access to different types of data. You should periodically review the product description pages for products and/or services and inform End Users of relevant changes.
- g. Service, Application, and Digital Good Availability. We may remove or change features or functionality of the Store at any time. Except to the extent required by applicable law, we have no obligation to provide a re-download or replacement of any products or services previously licensed. Some products or services may stop working if the Windows device on which they are installed is updated or modified or if an End User attempts to use them on a different type of Windows device. In some circumstances, applications or Digital Goods that have been previously downloaded on individual devices may be disabled. You may be responsible for removal of the disabled application or Digital Good from devices on which it is installed.
- g. Application Content. Some applications may contain advertising, promotions, or other commercial messages. Some applications may include in-app purchases. Any in-app purchases made by End Users using personal accounts will be licensed to those accounts and not to their work or school account with Microsoft.

Additionally, you agree to permit Microsoft to use any updated account information regarding your selected payment method provided by your issuing bank or the applicable payment network.

If you cancel your subscription earlier than the agreed term, you may be charged an early termination fee, if permitted by applicable law. By authorizing recurring payments, you are authorizing Microsoft to process such payments as either electronic debits or fund transfers, or as electronic drafts from your designated account (in the case of Automated Clearing House or similar payments), as charges to your designated account (in the case of credit card or similar payments) (collectively, "Electronic Payments"), or you may choose to be invoiced. Subscription fees are generally billed or charged in advance of the applicable subscription period.

All licenses must be unassigned or reclaimed from End Users for the order to be cancellable. No cancellations or refunds may be requested through the order history portal after thirty (30) days. Microsoft reserves the right to remove organization’s ability to cancel orders through the order history portal if organization engages in excessive order cancellation.
