ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY

LAST UPDATED: FEBRUARY 2011

This Acceptable use policy identifies activities that you are prohibited from
engaging in when using Microsoft Online Services ("Services" or in the case of
an individual service, "Service"), which includes any Service that links to this
Acceptable use policy.

Please report violations of this Acceptable use policy to Microsoft Online
Services Customer Support. Include the words "Acceptable Use Policy" in the
subject.

When using Microsoft Online Services, you may not:

 1. Use the Services in a way that is against applicable law. Including:
    
    * Illegal activity such as child pornography; gambling; piracy; violating
      copyright, trademark or other intellectual property laws.
    * Accessing or authorizing anyone to access the service from an embargoed
      country.
    * Threatening, stalking, defaming, defrauding, degrading, victimizing or
      intimidating anyone for any reason.
    * Invading anyone's privacy by attempting to harvest, collect, store, or
      publish private or personally identifiable information, such as passwords,
      account information, credit card numbers, addresses, or other contact
      information without their knowledge and consent.

 2. Use the Services in a way that could harm them or impair anyone else's use
    of them. Including:
    
    * Any attempt to gain unauthorized access to a Service, acting to deny
      others access to a Service, or authorizing any third party to access or
      use the Services on your behalf (such as anyone without a license or
      revealing to anyone your username and password).
    * Use the Services to try to gain unauthorized access to any other service,
      data, account or network by any means.
    * Use any automated process or service to access or use the Services such as
      a BOT, a spider or periodic caching of information stored by Microsoft.
    * Intending to harm or exploit minors in any way, or collecting personally
      identifiable information of any minor.

 3. Falsify any email header information or in any way misrepresent your
    identity.
    
    * Including misrepresenting the source of anything you post or upload or
      impersonating another individual or entity, such as with "spoofing".

 4. Use the Services to transmit, distribute, or deliver any unsolicited bulk or
    unsolicited commercial e-mail (i.e., spam).
    
    * Except with regard to spam that you are directing to a Microsoft-provided
      e-mail spam filter.

 5. Remove, modify, or tamper with any regulatory or legal notice or link that
    is incorporated into the Services.
    
    * Including providing or creating links to external sites that violate this
      Acceptable use policy or other legal agreements Microsoft provides.
    * As well as any use of the Services to distribute any offering or link
      designed to violate these terms (e.g., enable sending of spam, enable
      denial of service attacks, etc.)

Additionally:

 * Microsoft is not responsible for the content of any user-created posting,
   listing or message. The decision to view content or engage with others is
   yours. We advise you to use your judgment.
 * You are responsible for protecting your computer against interference,
   spyware or viruses that may be encountered for downloaded items from the
   service. We recommend you install a virus protection program on your computer
   and keep it up to date.
 * Information you provide or upload to the Services may be stored outside of
   the country in which you reside.

Your use of any Microsoft Online Services administered through this site is
governed by the terms and conditions of the agreement(s) under which you
purchased the services. You can obtain a copy of your agreement(s) by contacting
Microsoft Online Services Support.

If Microsoft believes that unauthorized or improper use is being made of the
Microsoft Online Services, it may, without notice and at its sole discretion,
take such action as it deems appropriate, including blocking messages from a
particular internet domain, mail server or IP address. Violation of this policy
can lead to termination of a customer's account.

Customer data in (1) Communities for support; and (2) third level domain names
used on the Service, are additionally subject to the restrictions in the Windows
Live Code of Conduct.

Microsoft reserves the right to amend or change the Acceptable use policy of any
service at any time without notice. We encourage you to periodically review
these guidelines to ensure you are in compliance.

Nothing in this policy is intended to grant any rights in the Microsoft Online
Services. Failure to enforce this policy in every instance does not amount to a
waiver of Microsoft's rights.
