The latest version of the Microsoft Agreement will go into effect on October 1.

Clause b of the limitation of liability clause states:

Microsoft is not responsible for Microsoft’s failure to perform or delay in performance of its obligations due to circumstances beyond Microsoft’s reasonable control (for example, industrial disputes, force majeure, acts of war or terrorism, malicious sabotage, accident, or compliance with any applicable law or government order). No responsibility or liability is assumed for this.

In the latest version of the agreement, the contracting entity, choice of law and place of dispute resolution states:

“When you use all other services in accordance with these terms, you are entering into a contract with Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052, USA, and for those services, these terms will be governed by the State of Washington, regardless of conflict of law principles.
