本协议由签名表上确定的本协议接受方与上海蓝云网络科技有限公司（以下简称“世纪互联”或“我们”，北京世纪互联宽带数据中心有限公司的关联公司，）签订，双方就下面的条款和条件、可接受的使用方式政策、服务条款、SLA、价格以及门户上针对您的订购的相关条款构成。本协议从我们确认您的第一份订单之日起生效（以下简称“生效日期”）。

1. 服务。

服务的实施。我们为您提供的服务是基于微软（中国）有限公司及其关联公司（以下简称“微软”）许可我们使用的 Microsoft 365 技术。尽管基础Windows Azure 和 Microsoft 365 技术是由微软开发并维护，但服务是由我们而不是由微软实施并向您提供的。微软并非本协议的一方，且本协议未授予您针对微软的任何合同权利或者其他权利或救济。

服务位置。提供服务的数据中心应位于中华人民共和国（在本协议中，不包括香港特别行政区、澳门特别行政区和台湾）。本协议未授权您获取或使用其他数据中心或其他运营商提供的 Microsoft 365 服务。

预览版和有限供应物。我们可能会提供标识为预览版和/或有限供应物的服务。预览版和有限供应物按“现状”、“包含所有缺陷”和“目前可用”的形式提供，不适用 SLA 和有限保证。预览版和/或有限供应物的安全、合规和隐私保护承诺可能会有所不同或减少，这在隐私声明和预览版和/或有限供应物所附的其他任何声明中会做详细说明。对预览版我们可能仅提供有限的客户支持或不提供客户支持。我们可能会在不另行通知的情况下随时更改或停止提供预览版。我们也可能会不让预览版进入“全面发售”。

2. 服务的使用。

使用权利。我们授权您获取和使用服务，并下载、安装和使用您的订购中包含的软件，详见本协议中及门户中的规定，前提是您需要遵守服务条款和可接受的使用方式政策（我们可能会定期更新该等条款和政策）并遵守本协议。我们保留所有其他权利。

限制。您不得对服务进行反向工程、反向编译、反汇编或绕过任意服务的技术限制，除非适用的法律尽管有此项限制仍允许上述行为。对于任何计费机制（包括计量您对服务使用情况的任何机制），您不得禁用、篡改或以其他方式尝试规避。您不得将任何服务和软件出租、租赁、出借、转售、转让或分许可给第三方，也不得为第三方出租、租赁、出借、转售、转让或分许可任何软件。 您访问或使用本服务的方式不应侵犯任何第三方的权利，也不会以使我们的任意供应商承担第三方义务为目的。

终端用户。您应控制您的终端用户的访问行为，并且您应负责确保他们对服务的使用符合本协议。

客户数据。您独自对客户数据的内容负责。您应确保获取我们向您提供服务所必需的客户数据权利，以免我们违反任何第三方的权利或导致我们对您或任何第三方的义务。我们不会接受任何可能适用于客户数据或您对服务的使用的单独许可或其他协议中规定的任何义务。

第三方产品。

(i) 我们可能会向您提供第三方产品。对第三方产品的使用将受您和提供该第三方产品的第三方签订的单独条款的约束。为了方便起见，我们可能在您的服务帐单中包含针对第三方产品的收费。不过我们（以及我们的供应商）不对第三方产品承担任何责任。

(ii) 对于您配合服务安装或使用的任何第三方产品，您应独自承担责任。就约束您对任何第三方产品使用的任何条款而言，我们并不是当事方，亦不受该等条款约束。

(iii) 如果您配合服务安装或使用了任何第三方产品，则您（而非我们）应通过相应行动（例如，通过使用应用程序编程接口或作为服务一部分的其他技术手段），监管和控制此类产品在服务中的安装和使用。我们将不会私自运行此类第三方产品，也不会创建任何副本。

(iv) 如果您配合服务安装或使用了任何第三方产品，则您安装和使用此类产品的方式不应导致我们的知识产权或技术必须承担本协议未包括的任何义务。

对您的帐户的责任。您应当对与您的在线服务帐户有关的所有活动负责，在适用的情况下，包括经您开通而使用服务的用户的行为，以及通过您的帐户或关联帐户与第三方发生的条款和交易活动。您还应负责维护与使用服务相关的任何非公开身份验证凭证的保密性。如有任何可能的帐户或身份验证凭证的误用或任何与服务有关的安全意外行为，您必须立刻通知我们的客户支持团队。

供关联公司使用。您可在此协议下为您的关联公司提交订单，并授予关联公司管理他们的帐户的管理权限。但是，关联公司不能在此协议下提交订单。您应负责确保关联公司对服务的使用符合本协议，且您同意对这些关联公司的任何与使用服务相关的行为负有连带责任。

更新。我们可能会不时更改服务。

客户支持。我方将按照门户中的规定提供服务支持。

有关国家机密的声明和保证。您声明并保证客户数据不包括国家机密，或者，如任何客户数据构成了国家机密，您已获得了必要的批准，以便向我们及我们的关联公司、承包商和供应商披露此等国家机密。

购买教育版教育版资格。您同意如果您购买教育版服务，您必须符合附录A所列的相应资格条件。世纪互联保留随时核实资格条件并在发现未符合资格条件的情况下暂停服务的权利。

3. 安全、隐私和数据保护。

安全性。我们会采用适当的技术和组织措施、内部控制和数据安全例程以保护客户数据，防止意外丢失或更改、未经授权的披露或访问或非法销毁。在我们的网站可查看有关我们安全实践的最新信息。

隐私条款。我们依照隐私声明来处理客户数据。我们是代表您的数据处理方（或分处理方），您指定我们对客户数据进行此类操作以向您提供服务。对于您将在服务中托管其个人信息或其他数据的最终用户或其他用户，您应从其处获得必要的同意。

客户数据的所有权。在双方之间，除了我们向您授予许可的软件，您保有对客户数据的所有权利、所有权和权益。除了在我们的系统上托管客户数据的权利（包括仅出于此类托管之目的在我们系统内使用和复制客户数据的权利）外，我们不会获得对客户数据的任何权利。

客户数据的使用。我们使用客户数据的唯一目的就是向您提供服务。此种用途可能包括通过故障排除来预防、查找和修复服务运营方面的问题。它还包括改进用于查找和防御用户所面临威胁之功能。如果没有您的同意，我们不会出于任何广告或其他商业目的使用客户数据或从其中获取信息。

第三方请求。除非经您指示或者根据适用的法律法规，我们不会向第三方（不包括我们的供应商和分包商）披露客户数据。如果我们被强制要求向第三方披露客户数据，除非法律禁止我们这样做，我们会采用商业上可行的方式提前通知您。如某一第三方联系我们，就您对服务的使用提出投诉（例如声称您或您的终端用户有侵权行为），我们可让该等第三方直接与您联系，且可向其提供您的基本联系方式。

其他公司。我们会聘请其他公司代表我们提供有限服务，例如提供客户支持。任何上述公司将仅获准为履行我们聘请他们提供的服务而获取客户数据，而不得将客户数据用于任何其他目的。我们仍然负责保证这些其他公司履行本协议中规定的义务。

遵守法律。我们在提供服务时将遵守所有适用的法律（包括适用的安全违规行为通知法律），但不包括适用于您或您行业但通常不适用于信息技术服务提供商的任何法律。您应当遵守您的客户解决方案、客户数据及服务使用所适用的所有法律。

4. 购买服务。

订购。可以通过门户下达订单订购许可。通过提交订单，即表示您同意门户上介绍的该订购的相关条款。您可以依据本协议下达多个订单，购买多个订购。

定价和付款。应付款项必须依照门户上针对每个订购的定价和付款方式来支付。根据本协议，除有限供应物外，价格水平取决于您的订购数量。每项订购的价格在下单时确定并固定下来，适用于整个订购期，但在任何订购续签开始时可进行调整。如果在订购期间您的订购许可量增加了，您的价格水平可以进行相应调整。价格水平变更不具备追溯力。

税款。价格包括增值税。您必须负责缴纳法律规定必须缴纳的任何适用印花税和所有其他税款，包括由于向您的关联公司提供服务而产生的任何税款。我们负责支付与我们的净收入和个人财产所有权相关的所有税款。如果必须将某项税款从您支付给我们的付款中扣除，则您可从应付给我们的款项中扣除该税款，并将该税款支付给相应的税收机构；但前提是您应及时获取并向我们提交这些预缴税金的正式收据或我们可能合理请求的其他票据，以便我们申请外国税收抵免或退款。您将保证，预扣的任何税款均为适用的法律允许的最低限额。

5. 期限、终止与暂停。

期限。本协议在依据本协议购买的任何订购期内一直保持有效。初始订购期限是指从初始订购之日起的十二 (12) 个日历月，除非门户上另外指定。如果您在订购期限内增加特定服务计划的订购许可量，增加的订购许可将视为该计划订购的一部分，将与初始订单中购买的许可同时到期。

终止。您可以通过致电客户支持或者按照门户上介绍的其他方式在订购期内终止任意订购。如果您在订购期内终止订购，但在终止生效前，您必须支付所有应付款项和欠款，而我们不会提供退款。在实施本协议的终止条款的必要范围内，协议双方均放弃其根据适用的法律或规章、现在或将来拥有的权利和可能承担的义务，请求或获得任何法庭的批准、指令、决定或判决，以终止本协议。

续签。除有限供应物之外，订购将在订购期结束时自动续订，续订期与相应的初始期限相同。有限供应物将在期满时终止，并且将不会自动续订。我们将在订购期满之前为您提供书面的自动续签通知。如果希望在订购期结束时订购到期，则您必须在订购期结束之前至少提前三十 (30) 天通知您的客户支持。

客户数据的返还与删除。您可以随时提取和/或删除客户数据。在订购期满或终止后，我们会将您还未删除的任何客户数据保留至少九十 (90) 天以便于您提取，但有限供应物除外。如果是有限供应物，我们会立即删除客户数据，不提供任何保留期。您应负责支付保留期的所有存储费用及其他适用的费用。上述保存期限届满后，我们会自保存期限终止后删除所有客户数据，包括所有缓存或备份的副本。您同意，我们没有继续保留、导出或返还客户数据的其他义务，而且对于我们依照这些条款删除客户数据的行为，我们也不承担任何责任。

法规。若我们根据政府法规或要求的发展现状，认为本协议或服务可能与上述法规或要求相冲突的，我们可以变更服务或终止协议，且无需承担任何责任。

暂停。如果出现以下情况，我们可以暂停您对服务的使用：(1) 出于防止对客户数据进行未授权访问的合理需要；(2) 您未能在合理时间内回应指控侵权索赔；(3) 您没有依照本协议支付应付款项；或者 (4) 您没有遵守可接受的使用方式政策或违反了本协议或适用法律和法规的其他条款。暂停的适用范围是服务的最小必要部分，只有在存在条件或需要时才会实行。我们将在暂停服务之前发出通知，除非我们合理认为必须立即暂停服务。如果您未能在暂停服务后六十 (60) 天内完全解决导致暂停的原因，我们可能会终止您的订购并在不提供任何保留期的情况下删除您的客户数据。

因违约而终止。如果您实质性地违反此协议，我们会通知您并为您提供三十 (30) 天对违约进行补救。如果您在三十 (30) 天期限内未补救实质性违约，我们将终止您的服务使用权。对于有限供应物，我们终止服务的权利在此类实质性违约的通知发出时即生效。

7. 索赔辩护。

辩护。对于因服务侵犯独立第三方的专利权、版权或商标或非法使用其商业秘密而由该第三方提出的任何索赔，我们将为您提供辩护。对于由独立第三方提出的任何索赔，如果是因为 (1) 您在使用服务过程中直接或间接提供的任何客户解决方案或客户数据侵犯了该第三方的专利权、版权或商标，或非法使用了其商业秘密或 (2) 您违反了可接受的使用方式政策，则您应为我们和我们的关联公司提供辩护。

补救措施。如果我们合理认为此类索赔可能会妨碍您对产品的使用，我们将寻求：(1) 为您获取继续使用产品的权利；或 (2) 对产品进行修改或使用具有对等功能的产品予以更换。如果以上选项在商业上不是合理可行的，我们可能终止您使用服务的权利，然后返还尚未使用的订购权利的所有预付款。

义务。各方必须立即将第 7 中规定的索赔事宜通知另一方。寻求保护的一方必须 (1) 让另一方全权处理索赔辩护和庭外和解事宜；以及 (2) 提供索赔辩护方面的合理帮助。提供保护的一方将 (1) 补偿另一方在提供帮助时所产生的合理的现付费用；以及 (2) 支付任何不利终审判决（或经另一方同意的庭外和解）产生的费用。

排除。在适用法律允许的范围内，即便相关方知悉发生相关损害的可能性，任何一方（及其关联公司、供应商和/或承包商）均不就收入损失或任何间接的、特殊的、偶然的、附随的、惩罚性的或惩戒性的损害承担责任。

限制例外情况。本节中的责任限制在适用法律允许的最大范围内适用，但不适用于：(1) 双方在“索赔辩护”“一节或不可抗力”小节条款下的义务；或 (2) 侵犯另一方知识产权的行为。

9. 软件。

用于设备上的软件。我们可能向您提供软件，以便与服务配合使用。如果提供给您的软件具有自己的专有许可条款，则以这些条款为准，可能需要您直接与软件的供应商签订最终用户许可协议。如果软件没有自己的许可条款，则我们将授予您许可，在设备上安装并使用您订购数量的软件副本以用于服务。我们会检查您正在使用的软件的版本，并推荐更新或（在通知或不通知的情况下）将其下载到您的设备中。您依照本协议获得的软件许可仅在相应的订购期限内有效，或者我们更新了服务而致使服务不再支持该软件（以较早的时间为准），则您对软件的使用权利即告终止。

Location of Services.  The Services are provided from data center(s) located in the People’s Republic of China (which for the purpose of this agreement excludes Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Regions and Taiwan).  This agreement does not provide any right to access or use the Microsoft 365 services from other data centers or other operators.

Preview releases and Limited Offerings. We may make available Services identified as Previews and/or Limited Offerings.

PREVIEWS AND LIMITED OFFERINGS ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS,” “WITH ALL FAULTS,” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” AND ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE SLAS AND LIMITED WARRANTY. Previews and/or Limited Offerings may be subject to reduced or different security, compliance and privacy commitments, as further explained in the Privacy Statement and any additional notices provided with the Preview and/or Limited Offerings.  Customer support for Previews may be limited or not available.  We may change or discontinue Previews at any time without notice.  We also may choose not to release a Preview into “General Availability.”

Right to use. We grant you the right to access and use the Services and to download, install and use Software included with your Subscription, as further described in this agreement and the Portal, subject to the Services Terms and the Acceptable Use Policy, which we may update periodically, and your compliance with this agreement. We reserve all other rights.

Limitations. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or work around technical limitations in any of the Services, except where applicable law permits it despite this limitation.  You may not disable, tamper with or otherwise attempt to circumvent any billing mechanism, including any mechanism that meters your use of the Service.  You may not rent, lease, lend, resell, transfer, or sublicense any Software to or for third parties.  You may not access or use the Service in any way that violates the rights of any third party or purports to subject any of our suppliers to any obligations to third parties.

End Users. You control access by your End Users, and you are responsible for their use of the Services in accordance with this agreement.

Customer Data. You are solely responsible for the content of your Customer Data.  You will secure rights in Customer Data necessary for us to provide you the Services without violating the rights of any third party, or otherwise obligating us to you or to any third party.  We do not and will not accept any obligations set forth in any separate license or other agreement that may apply to Customer Data or your use of the Services.

Third-Party Products.

(i) We may make Third Party Products available to you.  The use of a Third-Party Product will be governed by separate terms between you and the third party providing that Third-Party Product.  For your convenience, we may include charges for the Third-Party Product as part of your bill for the Services.  We (and our suppliers), however, assume no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the Third-Party Product.
