13.
Disclaimer of Warranty.
The software is licensed “as-is.”
You bear the risk of using it. Microsoft gives no express warranties,
guarantees or conditions. You may have additional consumer rights under
your local laws which this agreement cannot change. To the extent

merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

damages.
This
limitation applies to
·
anything
related to the software, services, content (including code) on third party
Internet sites, or third party programs; and
·
claims
for breach of contract, breach of warranty, guarantee or condition, strict
liability, negligence, or other tort to the extent permitted by applicable law.
It
also applies even if Microsoft knew or should have known about the possibility
of the damages. The above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you
because your country may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental,
consequential or other damages.

limitation ou l’exclusion ci-dessus ne s’appliquera
pas à votre égard.
