## 1. WHAT THE AGREEMENT COVERS
8-
This is an agreement between you (“you” or “your”) and Microsoft Corporation, (“Microsoft, “we,” “us” or “our”). The
9-
terms and conditions of this agreement (“agreement”) apply to your access and use of the preview of “Agent 365”
10-
features, services, and software offered by Microsoft (collectively, the “Services”). The Services are optional preview
11-
evaluation services offered by Microsoft to select customers and partners to obtain feedback prior to general release. By
12-
accessing or using the Services, you accept the terms and conditions of this agreement. If you do not accept them, do
13-
not access or use the Services. If you are a subscriber of Microsoft services such as Microsoft 365, Power Platform,
14-
Copilot Studio or Dynamics 365, your customer agreement applies to your use of them generally while this agreement
15-
applies to your use of the Services specifically. For the avoidance of doubt, the Customer Copyright Commitment from
16-
your customer agreement does not apply to your use of the Services.
17-

## 2. DATA
19-
You bear sole responsibility for any and all data provided to Microsoft through your access to or use of the Services
20-
(“Customer Data”), and any software programs or services you use in connection with your access to or use of the
21-
Services, including without limitation taking the steps necessary to back up such Customer Data, software programs or
22-
services.
23-
24-
## 3. THE SERVICES
25-
### 3.1. Pre-Release Services and Updates.
26-
The Services provided under this agreement are in a pre-release stage and are only available for a limited time. The
27-
Services may not work correctly or the way a commercial version of the Services may function. The Services may
28-
experience interruptions and extended downtime during which you may not be able to access Customer Data or other
29-
functionality. Updates may be provided throughout the term and such updates may result in deleting the Customer Data
30-
or changing of Services functionality. In general, due to the pre-release nature of the Services, some or all of the
31-
Customer Data may be lost. Your Customer Data may not be migrated from the Services to any future pre-release or
32-
commercial versions that may be released. You are solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using pre
33-
release services and assume all risks associated with using the Services, including but not limited to risks and costs of
34-
program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of, programs or equipment, and unavailability or
35-
interruption of operations.
36-
37-
### 3.2. Future Releases.

39-
version, and we may not release a future pre-release or commercial version.
40-
41-
### 3.3. Pre-release Limitations
42-
Because of their pre-release status, the Services employ lesser or different privacy and security measures than those
43-
typically present in a Microsoft enterprise online service. You should not use the Services to process personal data relating to an identified or identifiable natural person or other data that is subject to heightened compliance requirements. The Services or certain features of the Services may operate in the United States or may operate in other available countries, and you agree that your Customer Data may be transferred, stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Microsoft or its affiliates, subsidiaries or service providers maintain facilities.

acceptance and compliance with this agreement, you may use the Services for the sole purposes of testing the Services
49-
internally and providing feedback to Microsoft.

rights not expressly granted in this agreement. No additional rights (including implied licenses, rights or covenants) are
115-
granted by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

Services. It is solely your responsibility to protect any rights you may have in the Customer Data and such information.
120-
121-
### 5.3. Your Use of the Customer Data.
122-
You represent, and agree to ensure, that you have the necessary rights to any Customer Data, software programs or
123-
services that you use in connection with the Services, and that such activities do not infringe the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any third party.

125-
### 5.4. Confidentiality.
126-
The Services, including their user interface, features and documentation, are confidential and proprietary to Microsoft and its suppliers. This and all other information shared under this agreement is confidential information. If you have signed a nondisclosure agreement (“NDA”) between you and Microsoft, the NDA is incorporated by reference and applies to your use of the Services. In the event there is no existing NDA, or if such existing NDA is terminated or otherwise ceases to be in effect, then the remainder of this section applies. For five years after access and use of the Services, you may not disclose confidential information to third parties. You may disclose confidential information only to your employees and consultants who need to know the information. You must have written agreements with them that protect the confidential
127-
information at least as much as this agreement. You may disclose confidential information in response to a judicial or
128-
governmental order. You must first give written notice to Microsoft to allow it to seek a protective order or otherwise
129-
protect the information. Confidential information does not include information that: (i) becomes publicly known through
130-
no wrongful act; (ii) you received from a third party who did not breach confidentiality obligations to Microsoft or its
131-
suppliers; or (iii) you developed independently. Your duty to protect confidential information survives this agreement.

133-

scheduled and unscheduled reasons, including maintenance updates, power outages, system failures, extended downtime
136-
and other interruptions. During such periods, you may be unable to access or use all of, or a portion of, the Services.
137-
Some or all of the Customer Data may be lost. In the event of an outage or interruption that Microsoft determines may
138-
cause risk to the Services, Microsoft may determine in its sole discretion to suspend the Services.

## 7. SOFTWARE
146-
If you receive software from us as part of the Services, your use of that software is under the terms of the license that is presented to you for acceptance for that software. If there is no license presented to you, then we grant you a limited

apply to the software. These laws include restrictions on destinations, end users and end use. For additional information,
151-
see http://www.microsoft.com/exporting.

155-
time.

commercialize your feedback in any way and for any purpose. You also give to third parties, without charge, any
160-
intellectual property rights needed for their products, technologies and services to use or interface with any specific parts of a Microsoft software or service that includes the feedback. You will not give feedback that is subject to a license that requires Microsoft to license its software or documentation to third parties because Microsoft includes your feedback in them. These rights survive this agreement.
