Xbox 360 的 Xbox Live 使用規定與隱私權聲明

最後更新日期︰2007 年 11 月

1. 這是您與 MICROSOFT 之間的合約
這是您與 Microsoft Corporation (位於 One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399 United States) 或與您居住地之 Microsoft Corporation 關係企業之間的合約。本合約中我們將以「Microsoft」、「我們」或「我們的」稱呼己方。您則為個人。您必須年滿 18 歲且已達所居住之省 、州或國家的法定年齡。您所提供的一切資料必須是完整且正確無誤。在 Xbox.com 網站 (http://www.xbox.com/live) 上可取得本合約的最新可列印版本。

本合約內容涵蓋了您透過第一代 Xbox 主機、Xbox 360 主機或個人電腦使用本服務，並包括其他您選擇登入 (例如，特定遊戲的訂閱) 的相關服務、內容與其他媒體 (例如，從 Xbox Live 賣場下載的項目)、軟體、機器、支援、文件、更新或升級。以上所有內容統稱為「服務」。

「服務」提供之前提要件係您業已完全接受本合約包含之條款、條件及通知且不予以修改。選擇以下之「接受」，您的電子簽章視為已納入本合約中且您視為同意本合約。您了解，如您不同意本合約，您應選擇「拒絕」、不繼續您的註冊程序、且不得使用Xbox Live。

請注意，本合約有責任限制，並且於法律允許之最大範圍內，我們對於「服務」也不提供擔保責任。本合約對救濟權之規定亦有所限制。上述規定之內容請參閱第 15 條和第 16 條，並請您仔細閱讀這些規定。

2. 其他規定

部分遊戲、內容提供、功能、或透過本「服務」舉辦的活動可能會有額外的規定、管理辦法或準則，以規範該遊戲或功能或參與該活動 (例如，獎項獨得大賽與錦標賽) 的使用。如果本合約中的任何規定與任何特定遊戲、內容提供、功能或活動中的規定有所抵觸，則以本合約為準。任何您與協力廠商的交易或所參與的促銷活動、獎項獨得大賽與錦標賽，以及與其他任何和該交易相關的規定、條件、擔保或聲明均僅涉及您及該協力廠商。我們不會為任何該等交易之任何部份承擔責任或義務。

某些服務功能和相關服務，您也可以在 http://www.xbox.com/live 或 Xbox Live 相關遊戲網站上取得，因此這些也適用該網站上的規定與條件。

3. 您可使用服務的方式與時機

我們提供的「服務」僅供您個人使用。您也不得以任何商業目的或非法形式使用該「服務」，亦不得以任何方式使用該「服務」從事有害 Microsoft 或其關係企業、轉銷商、經銷商、服務提供廠商，及 / 或供應商 (以下簡稱「Microsoft 關係人」)，或其顧客的行為。我們不允許某些有害的活動，包括：(i) 未經授權嘗試存取任何與本「服務」相關之帳戶、電腦、硬體或網路:(ii) 中斷任何與本「服務」相關之帳戶、電腦、硬體或網路:(iii) 透過任何手段從「服務」取得或嘗試取得任何資料，除非我們提供給您或者讓您能夠取得:(iv) 使用「服務」或相關的硬體取得資料，並用其來設計、開發、或更新您所使用的未授權軟體，或供他人存取或使用「服務」:(v) 直接或間接向他人收取使用「服務」的費用:(vi) 使用或散佈未授權的密技、巨集或指令碼:(vii) 在「服務」或特定遊戲中，利用任何錯誤，或未經授權修改任何軟體或資料以獲得遊戲中不當的好處。

Microsoft 可能透過「服務」以管理辦法或其他通知方式，告訴您某些特定行為將構成有害的使用，但是 Microsoft 並無義務提供這些資訊。您必須遵守任何我們提供的管理辦法或其他通知。

4. 您對於服務帳戶的責任
您對於您「服務」帳戶內的一切活動應負完全的責任。維護您的「服務」帳戶密碼的機密性是您的責任。我們可能同意您讓其他人使用您的「服務」帳戶並/或擁有與您「服務」帳戶關聯的附屬會員帳戶 (以下簡稱「附屬帳戶」)。Microsoft 可能會對您「服務」帳戶或任何附屬帳戶的使用者加以限制。若有任何人未經您同意而使用您的帳戶，或與「服務」相關的安全性上有任何漏洞，都請務必通知我們。

5. 附屬帳戶使用者

如果您是附屬帳戶使用者，那麼「服務」帳戶的所有人便對您的附屬帳戶擁有完整的控制權。該控制權包括終止「服務」的權限、隨時關閉或變更附屬帳戶，以及要求和接收附屬帳戶相關的使用資訊。任何對您附屬帳戶資料的蒐集和遞送都會送至「服務」帳戶所有人和 Microsoft。本合約內容同樣適用於附屬帳戶使用者，但下列條款除外：第 4 條 (您對於服務帳戶的責任)，第 6 條 (付款及計費):第 18 條 (您終止服務)，與第 24條 (Microsoft 給您的通知:客戶對電子資訊的同意)。

您聲明您是您允許使用您「服務」帳戶或附屬帳戶之每位兒童的父母或法定監護人。您確認您已明瞭「服務」與某些可透過服務而取得的內容，可能包含或對使用者顯示不適合兒童的內容，並且您同意監督您允許使用該「服務」之兒童對於內容的使用。Microsoft 在 Xbox 360 上提供了「家長監護」供您限制孩子存取可能不適當的內容。在附屬帳戶註冊時套用「家長監護」，可以讓您防止附屬帳戶的任何使用者進行額外的購買，並防止任何使用者存取語音和視訊交談，以減少該使用者與其他使用者交談的機會。您可以在 Xbox 設定畫面的 [系統] 區檢視或修改您的 [家長監護]。如果您想要了解更多關於「家長監護」的資訊，請至 http://www.xbox.com/support/familysettings/default.htm。對於您訂閱的使用者因您使用「家長監護」與否而獲得或被拒絕內容的存取，您均具有責任。

6. 付款及計費
6.1 不適用於某些特定情況。如果您就「服務」和/或額外可透過「服務」 (基於本第 6 條的目的，以上統稱「其他項目」) 購買的項目與服務 (例如，遊戲、下載、服務升級、或其他付費功能) 付款給我們 (無論是目前或將來)，而您使用指定的付款工具付款，如信用卡 (「付費方式」)，則第 6 條中的規定適用於您。如果您因為任何目前的「服務」項目過期了而更新「服務」與您的「付費方式」，則本條亦適用於您。在某些特定情況下，在您註冊「服務」或「其他項目」時需要指定「付費方式」。某些「其他項目」可能需要付款給 Microsoft 以外的公司，這個狀況下關於付款及計費的規定則由其他公司制定。
6.2 付款。當您註冊或之後任何時候輸入指定的「付費方式」，您會建立一個線上帳戶 (您的「付費帳戶」)。您必須確認有權使用該「付費方式」。您會以透過您「付費帳戶」購買的金額支付 Microsoft 所有的費用，並且授權 Microsoft 可進行收費，以及同意使用您指定的「付費方式」付款。除非法律另有禁止規定，您必須預先支付所有的費用。

Microsoft 所收取的金額可能會與您許可的金額不同。如有這種情形發生，Microsoft 至少會在收取費用前十日告知您應支付的金額及日期。如果您的購買包含了訂閱，我們可能會一併向您收取先前計費期間的費用。對於您購買的每個訂閱，我們不會重複收取同一計費期間的費用。一旦有其它的購買 (如一次性下載)，便會向您收取費用。

您可以致電 Xbox 客戶支援部門告訴我們您要停止使用您的「付費方式」。如果您這麼做，我們可能會取消您的「服務」和/或您訂閱的任何「其他項目」。在 Microsoft 能夠合理地處理您的要求之前，您的通知將不影響Microsoft 向您的「付費帳戶」收取的費用。您必須維持您「付費帳戶」中的所有資訊為最新且正確無誤。您可以隨時變更您的「付費方式」。您可以在 Xbox 設定畫面的 [帳戶管理] 區中存取或變更您的「付費帳戶」，如果您透過 Xbox 360 主機存取您的服務，請至 https://billing.microsoft.com。

6.3 試用方案。您可能曾經收到限時試用的免費「服務」或其他試用方案。如果您參與任何這類試用方案，除非特定的訂閱載明規定，否則您必須在試用期間結束後終止適用的「服務」或「其他項目」，以避免對您的「付費方式」收取適用之費用。如果您在試用期間結束後沒有終止適用的「服務」或「其他項目」，則表示您授權 Microsoft 向您的「付費方式」收取費用。如果您沒有「付費帳戶」，則適用的訂閱會在您的試用期間結束後到期。不過，如果您在 Xbox 360 主機上參與任何 Xbox Live 金會員試用方案，無論您是否擁有「付費帳戶」，您的訂閱會繼續，但是當金會員試用期到期時便自動降級為免費的 Xbox Live 銀會員資格。此狀況下，若要維持您的金會員資格，您必須設定您的金會員為自動更新且向您的「付費方式」收取費用，或者您必須輸入一個全新的 Xbox Live 預付卡。

6.4 價格及價格調昇。「服務」和「其他項目」的價格均為未稅，不含通訊費用，除非另有說明。在法律許可的最大範圍內，應納稅款與電話費用需由您自行負擔。貨幣匯兌結算將依據您與您的「付費方式」提供者間的合約而定。我們可能會不定時變更「服務」與「其他項目」的價格。但有任何變更時，我們會事先讓您知道。如果您的「服務」方案有特定的期間和價格，該價格將在該段特定期間內保持有效。然而，您在該段特定期間後續用您「服務」的價格，將適用新價格。如果您的「服務」或「其他項目」是週期性 (例如，每月) 且未指定特定訂閱期間，則價格變更生效的日期得由 Microsoft 指定之。如果您不同意上述變更，您必須在變更生效前終止並停止使用「服務」或「其他項目」。如果您終止您的「服務」或「其他項目」，則除非您的訂閱載明規定，您的「服務」或「其他項目」會立即終止。


6.5 訂閱續約。如果您註冊的「服務」或「其他項目」為月付式訂閱，則除非該訂閱載明規定，您的訂閱會自動每個月續約，並且如果該訂閱需要支付費用，還會向您的「付費方式」收取費用，除非您在該月底之前取消您的訂閱。如果您訂閱的時間較長 (例如，3、6 或 12 個月)，則除非該訂閱載明規定，您的訂閱會自動續約為該時間之長度，並且如果該訂閱需要支付費用，還會向您的「付費方式」收取實際之費用。關於某些在 Xbox 360 主機上可用的「服務」或「其他項目」，您可能可以選擇使用預付卡而非您的「付費方式」來建立或更新訂閱。如果您沒有「付費帳戶」或者未選擇使用您的「付費方式」付費來讓訂閱自動續約，及/或輸入預付卡以續訂您的「服務」，則您的「服務」在您的訂閱期間結束後可能會被終止。如果您在 Xbox 360 主機上使用預付卡註冊 Xbox Live 金會員，無論您是否擁有「付費帳戶」，您的訂閱會繼續，但是當預付之金會員期間到期時便自動降級為免費的 Xbox Live 銀會員資格。此狀況下，若要維持您的金會員資格，您必須設定您的帳戶為自動續約並向您的「付費方式」收取費用，或者您必須輸入一個新的預付卡。如果您從第一代 Xbox 主機變更「服務」至 Xbox 360 主機，您的「服務」會在您目前的「服務」期間結束後自動每年更新為當時的年度訂閱價格 (無論目前的「服務」是年付式或月付式)。

6.6 退款原則。除非另有明文規定或適用法律的規範，所有的支付的費用將不得退還。您自完成註冊程序後七日內有解除本合約之法定權利，無須負擔任何費用或價款，但您必須已完成註冊程序始有此權利。接獲您解除本合約之通知後，Microsoft將會退還您所支付與服務有關之費用（但不包括所有與服務無關之費用，包括但不限於，在入門套件中所含之硬體、周邊設備、或入門套件中之元件）。除法令另有規定外，前開法定解除權僅適用於根據在台灣購買之Xbox Live入門套件或「訂閱卡」之訂閱代碼、或「付費方式」所初次訂閱之服務，並不適用於任何續訂之服務或免費試用方案訂閱代碼所訂閱之服務或在台灣以外地區所購買者。您可以電話或書面通知[輸入台灣客戶熱線電話號碼]客戶支援部門行使法定解除權及要求退款。請遵照客戶支援部門所指示之退款程序並將Xbox Live入門套件或「訂閱卡」退還至原先您購買時之零售商。請注意，您所支付之任何費用與服務無關者或在完成服務之註冊程序前之解除或終止均屬零售商之責任，您應向零售商查明退款之可行性。其他退款之資訊請參訪http://www.xbox.com/live/accounts

6.7 帳單。向您「付費帳戶」收費的摘要會以電子郵件收據的方式送至您在註冊「服務」時提供的電子郵件地址。您同意這些電子郵件收據是 Microsoft 僅須提供給您的「帳單」。列印或儲存各電子郵件收據，並保存您記錄的拷貝是您的責任。如果您要求書面拷貝，我們會向您收取檢索費用。若要要求一份電子郵件收據的書面拷貝，請電洽 Xbox 客戶支援部門。我們僅會提供您過去 120 天內的書面拷貝。若是您無法檢視或接收電子郵件 (例如，因為您的電子郵件過濾設定)，您給付積欠 Microsoft 費用的期限並不會因此寬延或者免除。
如果您透過 Xbox 360 主機或個人電腦註冊「服務」，或是從您的第一代 Xbox 主機修改您的「服務」至 Xbox 360 主機，則我們會提供您線上的帳單。請登入 https://billing.microsoft.com 檢視、列印該帳單或要求一份帳單的書面拷貝。如果您要求書面拷貝，我們會向您收取檢索費用。我們僅會提供您過去 120 天內的書面拷貝。

6.8 計費錯誤。如果您的帳單發生錯誤，Microsoft 會在收到您的通知和調查該計費情形後，立即更正您的帳單金額。當該錯誤首次出現於帳單上時，您必須於 120 天內告知 Microsoft。若有任何錯誤首次出現於線上帳單且未於發現日起 120 天內通知 Microsoft者，將免除 Microsoft 因該錯誤所產生之損失的一切責任與損害請求。若您未在期限內告知錯誤，將不得要求Microsoft 更正此錯誤。Microsoft 可隨時更正計費上的錯誤。

6.9 延遲付款。Microsoft 得以就未能按時支付的金額收取延遲利息。當 Microsoft 向您的費用收取延遲利息時，您必須支付此延遲利息。延遲利息將按每月未按時支付款項的百分之一 (1%) 利率計算，或上開利率超過相關法律允許的範圍時，將依最高法定利率計算該延遲利息。Microsoft 可能會委由第三人催收未按時支付之已到期金額。這些金額包括了合理的律師費用與其他合法費用與金額。若未按時繳付「服務」費用，Microsoft 得暫停或終止您的「服務」。

6.10 網際網路存取服務。您有義務给付您網際網路存取提供者的收費。這些費用是您就「服務」給付給我們之外的額外費用。

7. MICROSOFT POINTS

如果您在 Xbox 360 主機或個人電腦上使用「服務」，您便可參與 Microsoft Points 服務。Microsoft Points 是一項服務，您可由此取得 Points 並兌換這些 Points 以獲得線上服務與數位商品。您可以在 https://billing.microsoft.com 檢查您的 Points 餘額，以查看您剩下多少 Points。您可以獲得選定的服務或數位商品，那些是我們提供讓您以 Points 交換的優惠。若要兌換，您可以根據所提供項目顯示的特定訊息來兌換您的 Points。

您可以透過多種方式取得 Points。例如，您可以購買 Points，或者使用某些服務中的服務或特定功能也可以獲得 Points (也就是「獎勵 Points」)。唯有完成實際的動作您才能獲得獎勵 Points。您須負擔參與 Points 服務後續而來的任何稅款。

當您獲得 Points 時，您便取得了一項數位商品的有限授權。Points 並不等同於貨幣。無論您是如何取得 Points，均不可使用 Points 交換現金或金錢。Points 並非您個人的財產。您僅可以使用 Points 來獲取我們所提供以 Points 兌換的特定線上服務或數位商品。依您所居住的國家而定，我們可能還會進一步限制您兌換 Points。我們鼓勵您兌換您的 Points。現有供 Points 兌換的特定項目對 Microsoft 而言，並不表示在未來仍持續提供這些項目。你可兌換 Points 以獲得線上服務與數位商品的範圍、種類與類型可能隨時會有變更。我們沒有義務持續提供可供 Points 兌換的項目。

「獎勵 Points」隨時有可能到期，並於該 Points 促銷活動中的訊息中加以規定。如果我們懷疑您的 Points 餘額不正確、濫用、或是有非法的活動，我們可能會取消、停用或限制您對於 Points 餘額的存取。一旦我們從餘額刪除了 Points，除非我們決定開放，否則我們不會將它們恢復。當我們取消、停用或限制您對 Points 餘額的存取，您對您 Points 餘額的使用權利便立即終止。我們會以合理的程序調查 Points 餘額，並立即加以限制存取或做出決定。除此之外，我們可能會限制您對 Points 服務的使用，限制包括：您一次可計入您 Points 餘額的 Points 數量、指定時間內 (例如，一天內) 您可兌換的 Points 數量、以及您每一次促銷活動能獲得的獎勵 Points 數量。

如果我們將 Points 歸入您的餘額中是根據已結束、取消的活動或退回的項目，我們會從您的餘額將該 Points 移除。您必須確保我們已正確地將 Points 歸入您的 Points 餘額中。如果您確信您已有效取得 Points 而我們卻未歸入您的 Points 餘額中，請您在聲稱取得這些 Points 當日起 12 個月內與我們聯絡，我們可能會需要合理的文件來支持您的聲明。

8. 通訊設施的使用

您茲此同意於使用「服務」的線上交談時您不期盼具有任何程度的隱私權。這些通訊可能會被監控，不過我們無法監控整個「服務」，也不打算這麼做。您了解這些通訊可能會被他人側錄與使用。某些遊戲可能會利用遊戲管理員與主持人。遊戲管理員和主持人不是經過授權的 Microsoft 發言人，他們的觀點並不代表 Microsoft。

我們不會定時監控您在「服務」上使用的傳訊功能。不過，在最大的合法範圍內，您同意我們可能會監控您的訊息並揭露關於您的資訊，包括訊息的內容，在必要時須：(1) 符合法律且程序合法， (2) 確保您遵循合約，或 (3) 保護 Microsoft、其員工、其顧客、或大眾的權利、財產權或利益。

您按本合約所獲得使用軟體的授權將於您終止訂購「服務」之日終止。Microsoft 可能在「服務」終止後關閉軟體功能。我們可能會自動檢查您的軟體版本，並自動下載升級版軟體至您的電腦，以更新、加強並提升「服務」。
軟體受美國出口法令所規範。您必須遵守適用於該軟體的所有國內和國際出口法令。這些法規包括對目的地、終端使用者和終端使用的限制。若需其他相關資訊，請參閱 www.microsoft.com/exporting。

11. MICROSOFT 驗證網路

我們會提供您使用「服務」所需的驗證網路憑證。我們的驗證網路是多用途的驗證網站服務，讓您能輕鬆登入網站。您不可使用任何會減少直接存取或使用驗證網路使用者人數的軟體或硬體 (有時稱為「多工」或「共享」軟體或硬體)。對您與使用驗證網路之第三方 (包括廣告客戶) 間的交易，包括貨品及服務的交付與付款，您應自行負責。當您存取或使用得自「服務」的憑證時，均受本合約規範。您使用驗證網路存取任何網站或服務時，您可能同時受該網站或服務的使用規定規範。請您務必參閱所瀏覽網站或服務的使用規定。如依 Microsoft 所定義，您有一段時間未登入驗證網路，Microsoft 得依其裁量決定取消或暫停您對於驗證網路的存取。您的憑證一旦被取消，您對驗證網路的使用權也立即終止，並可能也同時終止您的「服務」。

12. 效能與使用資訊

12.1 效能資料。可能自動上載執行效能資料，以評估「服務」及其相關軟體。和/或您用來連接到「服務」的主機。上述資料可能包括主機硬體和操作效能資訊，以及網路效能與服務品質資訊。在您連線到 Xbox LIVE 或離線時可能發生的任何軟硬體錯誤，均會上載和回報。所有上述資料可能儲存有主機的唯一識別碼，並且亦可能涉及其他個人隱私資料。上述資料將僅可用於改善 Xbox 和 Xbox LIVE 客戶經驗。

12.2 使用資料。此外，為了評估和啟用 Xbox LIVE 服務的項目與功能 (例如，排行榜、成就、錦標賽和玩家設定檔共用)，您允許「Microsoft 關係人」使用、追蹤、儲存、複製，散佈、廣播、傳送、公開展示與執行、並複製您的遊戲得分、您的遊戲進行階段、在「服務」上的身分、排名、統計，玩家設定檔，您的提供資料及其他屬於您玩家代號的使用資訊，且不需要通知您或獲取您的同意。

13. 服務的營運和配備

「服務」僅可使用第一代 Xbox、Xbox 360 主機、個人電腦或透過 Xbox.com 登入您的帳戶來進行存取。您同意您必須使用授權的軟體與硬體存取「服務」，且該軟體與硬體皆不可以未授權的方式進行修改 (例如，授權維修、升級和下載)。您不得試圖對第一代 Xbox 或 Xbox 360 主機或「服務」的硬體或軟體進行拆解、反編譯、反向工程、修改，創作該等硬體或軟體的衍生物，或進一步轉授權、散佈或爲其他目的使用該等硬體或軟體。否則，您的帳戶即遭終止和/或您無法存取「服務」，Microsoft 並得尋求其他法律救濟。Microsoft 對於違反Microsoft 系統或網路安全或本合約或於第 2 條所述之規定的使用者，得採取其認爲適當之任何法律行動，該等使用者並可能招致刑事和/或民事法律責任。

Microsoft 就「服務」的營運保留完整且唯一的裁量權。除採取其他行動外，您同意Microsoft 尚得：(a) 限制對「服務」的存取:(b) 為了運作「服務」和保護「服務」的安全以及為了執行本「合約」之需要，從第一代 Xbox 或 Xbox 360 主機、個人電腦和任何連接的周邊裝置擷取用於登入「服務」的資料:(c) 隨時更新、修改、撤回、中止或停止「服務」或任何功能、項目或遊戲，無須事先通知，這可能包括直接自動下載相關軟體至您的第一代 Xbox 或 Xbox 360 主機或個人電腦，而您可能因該軟體而無法存取「服務」、進行盜版遊戲或使用未經授權的周邊裝置。

14. Microsoft 得變更本合約

如果我們變更本合約，我們會在變更生效的 30 天前通知您。我們會以電子郵件或線上公佈的方式通知您。我們也會使用其他我們確信可以聯絡到您的方式與您聯絡。如果您不同意上述變更，必須在該變更生效前，終止並停用「服務」。若您仍繼續使用「服務」，則您的「服務」將依修改後的合約規範之。

15. MICROSOFT 不負擔保責任

MICROSOFT 係以「現狀」、「連同本身具有之一切瑕疵」和「可提供」之條件提供「服務」。於法律所允許之最大範圍內，「Microsoft 關係人」均不負任何擔保、保證或條件之責任。對於依您居住地法律享有之消費者權益，本合約無法加以修改。在法律允許之最大範圍內，Microsoft 排除對適售性、特定目的之適用性、具專門技術及無侵權等之默示擔保。

16. 責任限制:您的唯一救濟權

「Microsoft 關係人」僅對您直接之損害負責，並以一個月「服務」費用為賠償總額上限:對任何其他損害，包括衍生性、利潤損失、特別性、間接或附隨性之損害，不負賠償責任。

本限制適用於：

- 任何與「服務」相關者:
- 任何與第三人網站、第三人程式或第三人管理的內容 (包括程式碼) 相關者:
- 任何與影響您存取或使用「服務」的病毒或其他停用功能相關者:
- 任何有關「服務」與其他服務、軟體和硬體的不相容性:
- 任何有關於開始、執行或完成「服務」相關之傳輸或交易時的延誤或失敗，及
- 在相關法律允許的最大範圍內，對違反合約、擔保、保證或條件之違反、無過失責任、過失或其他侵權行為的請求。

本限制同時適用，即使：

- 救濟權未能完全補償您所有損失或未達其重要目的:或
- Microsoft 知道或應知道該損害的可能性。

部份國家法律不允許對附隨或衍生損害賠償予以排除或限制，則前述之限制或排除便對您不適用。若因居住之省分或國家法律不允許對附隨、衍生或其他損害賠償予以排除或限制，前述限制亦對您不適用。

17. 服務變更:Microsoft 終止服務
Microsoft 保留隨時基於任何理由變更「服務」、刪除或終止其功能、遊戲或其他內容的權利。我們可以隨時終止或停止您的「服務」，無需任何理由和/或通知。「服務」一旦取消，您使用「服務」的權限立即停止。「服務」一旦取消或中止，儲存於「服務」內的資料嗣後可能無法取回。若 Microsoft 終止「服務」，您仍有義務支付您「付費帳戶」內的所有費用，該義務將不會因該終止而改變。惟若 Microsoft 不具理由終止整個「服務」，Microsoft 會按您已支付Microsoft之款項與終止前尚未使用的「服務」比例進行退款。

18. 您終止服務
您可以隨時具理由或不具理由取消「服務」，惟應致電 Xbox Live 客戶支援部門通知我們。關於您區域內客戶支援部門之聯絡資訊，請參閱：http://www.xbox.com/support/contact。如果您參與任何試用方案，必須在該試用期屆滿前終止「服務」以避免產生費用。終止某些「服務」方案可能需要給付手續費，您需要依照該方案所載之手續費總額之。若您終止「服務」，該「付費帳戶」內之所有費用，您有義務給付，該義務將不會因該終止而改變。
19. 解決爭議之準據法及法庭地
若本合約係與 Microsoft Corporation締結者，所有因違反本合約所生的請求應以華盛頓州法律為準據法，惟不適用其關於法律衝突解決之法律及原則。若本合約係與 Microsoft 關係企業締結者，所有因違反本合約所生的請求應以該 Microsoft關係企業設立地之法律為準據法，惟不適用其關於法律衝突解決之法律及原則。所有其他的請求，包括對消費者保護法、不公平競爭法和侵權行為，均依您在美國居住州之法律為準據法:或若您居住在美國境外，則應以 Microsoft 提供您「服務」之國家法律為準據法。

21. 轉讓
Microsoft 得通知或不經通知，隨時轉讓全部或部分合約。您不得轉讓本合約或其任何部份予其他第三人。任何轉讓行為的嘗試均為無效。您得以取消您的「服務」方式來取代。則該其他第三人得建立一個「服務」帳戶並與 Microsoft 締約。

Microsoft 線上私隱權聲明

(最近更新：2006 年 1 月)

檢視私隱權聲明重要事項
Microsoft 致力於保護您的私隱權。請閱讀下面的 Microsoft 線上私隱權聲明，以及右側列出的所有補充資訊，以獲得有關您可能要使用的特定 Microsoft 網站和服務的其他詳細資料。

Microsoft 線上私隱權適聲明適用於 Microsoft 透過其大多數網站和服務，以及其離線產品支援服務所收集到的資料。它不適用於那些不顯示或不連結至此聲明，或者具有本身私隱權聲明的網站、服務和產品。

個人資訊的收集
為了存取某些 Microsoft 服務，會要求您使用電子郵件地址和密碼登入，我們將此電子郵件地址和密碼稱為憑證。在大多數情況下，這些憑證將成為 Microsoft Passport Network 的一部份，這意味著您可以使用相同的憑證登入許多不同的 Microsoft 網站和服務，以及 Microsoft 所選合作夥伴的網站和服務。透過登入一個 Microsoft 網站或服務，您可以自動登入其他 Microsoft 網站和服務。如果您透過流動電話存取我們的服務，您也可以使用電話號碼和 PIN 來替代用戶名稱和密碼憑證。建立憑證時，還會要求您提供問題和保密答案，用來協助驗證身分、重設密碼以及更換電子郵件地址。某些服務可能要求額外的安全性，在這些情況下，會要求您建立其他安全金鑰。最後，將為您的憑證指定一個唯一識別碼，用於識別您的憑證及相關資訊。

在某些 Microsoft 網站中，我們會要求您提供個人資訊，例如電子郵件地址、姓名、家庭或工作地址以及電話號碼。我們可能還會收集人口統計資訊，例如郵區編號、年齡、性別、偏好、興趣、愛好等。如果您選擇購買或登入付費訂閱服務，我們將要求其他資訊，例如信用卡號碼和付費地址 (用於建立 Microsoft 計費帳號)。

我們可能會收集有關您訪問的資訊，包括您檢視的頁面、點按的連結以及與 Microsoft 網站和服務有關的其他操作。我們還會收集您的瀏覽器傳送至您所訪問的每個網站的特定標準資訊，例如 IP 位址、瀏覽器類型和語言、存取時間以及參考網址等。

當您接到 Microsoft 的快訊電子郵件或推廣電子郵件時，我們可能使用 Web Beacon (如以下所述)、自訂連結或類似技術，來確定您是否開啟了電子郵件以及點按了哪些連結，從而為您提供更聚焦的電子郵件通訊或其他資訊。

為了讓您在與 Microsoft 的互動中獲得更好的一致性和個性化體驗，可能會將透過某 Microsoft 服務收集的資訊與透過其他 Microsoft 服務獲得的資訊結合起來。我們還可能利用從其他公司獲得的資訊來補充我們收集到的資訊。例如，我們可能使用其他公司的服務，根據您的 IP 位址推知大概的地理區域，以此訂造合適的特定服務。

個人資訊的使用
Microsoft 收集和使用您的個人資訊，以運作和改善網站、提供服務或執行您請求的異動。這些用途可能包括：為您提供更有效的客戶服務；避免要求您重複輸入相同的資訊，從而使網站或服務更易於使用；進行調查和分析，以改善我們的產品、服務和技術；顯示根據您的興趣和偏好而訂造的內容和廣告。

我們還會使用您的個人資訊，來與您進行溝通。我們可能會傳送特定義務服務通訊，例如歡迎郵件、付費提示、有關技術服務問題的資訊和安全通告等。某些 Microsoft 服務 (例如 MSN Hotmail) 可能傳送定期的成員郵件，這是該服務的一部份。我們還可能間或傳送產品調查或推廣郵件，通知您 Microsoft 及其子公司可以提供的其他產品或服務。

Microsoft 網站和服務收集的個人資訊，可能在美國或者 Microsoft 或其子公司、分公司或代理所在的其他任何國家/地區進行儲存和處理，使用 Microsoft 網站或服務，即表示您同意在您所在國家/地區之外進行此類資訊傳輸。Microsoft 遵守美國商務部所公佈的「Safe Harbor Framework」中關於歐盟地區之資訊收集、使用和保留的規定。

個人資訊的共享
除非在此聲明中說明，未經您的同意，我們不會在 Microsoft 及其控制的分公司和子公司之外公開您的個人資訊。某些 Microsoft 網站可讓您選擇與 Microsoft 所選合作夥伴共享您的個人資訊，以便他們與您連絡，提供有關其產品、服務或報價的資訊。其他網站 (例如 MSN) 不會出於銷售目的與第三方共享您的連絡資訊，然而，它可以讓您選擇是否希望從代表外部商業合作夥伴的 Microsoft 收到有關合作夥伴所提供的特定內容之通訊 (不會將您的個人資訊傳輸給第三方)。請參閱下面的通訊偏好設定部份，以獲得更多資訊。

某些 Microsoft 服務可能與其他公司共用品牌並共同提供服務。如果您註冊或使用此類服務，Microsoft 和該公司都會收到共用品牌的服務所收集的資訊。

有時，我們會僱用其他公司代表我們提供有限的服務，例如郵件的處理和傳送、提供客戶支援、託管網站、處理異動或進行服務的統計分析。這些公司將僅允許獲取他們提供該服務所需的個人資訊。他們必須維護該資訊的機密性，並禁止將其用於任何其他目的。

我們不會存取和/或公開您的個人資訊，除非在以下情況中必須這樣做：(a) 遵守 Microsoft 所適用的法律或合法程序；(b) 保護 Microsoft 的權利或財產 (包括協議的執行)；或者 (c) 在緊急情況下，保護 Microsoft 服務用戶或公眾的個人安全。

存取個人資訊
您可以在線上檢視或編輯您的個人資訊。為了防止其他人檢視您的個人資訊，將要求您使用憑證 (電子郵件地址和密碼) 登入。存取個人資訊的適當方法取決於您使用的網站或服務。

Microsoft.com - 您可以透過訪問 Microsoft.com 設定檔中心來存取和更新 microsoft.com 上的設定檔。
Microsoft 計費和帳號服務 - 如果您具有 Microsoft 計費帳號，則可以在 Microsoft 計費網站中，透過點按「個人資訊」或「計費資訊」連結新增或更新您的資訊。
Microsoft Connect - 如果您是 Microsoft Connect 的註冊用戶，則可以在 Microsoft Connect 網站中，透過點按「管理您的 Connect 設定檔」來存取和編輯您的個人資訊。
MSN & Windows Live - 如果您已使用 MSN 或 Windows Live 服務，則可以透過訪問 MSN/Windows Live 帳號服務 來更新您的設定檔資訊、變更密碼、檢視與憑證關聯的唯一 ID，或者關閉特定帳號。
MSN Public Profile - 如果您在 MSN 上建立了公開設定檔，則您也可以透過進入 MSN Member Directory 來編輯或刪除公開設定檔中的資訊。
MSN Keyword 廣告 - 如果您購買了 MSN Keyword 廣告，則可以在 MSN adCenter 網站查看和編輯您的個人資訊。

某些 Microsoft 網站或服務可能收集透過以上連結無法存取的個人資訊。然而，在這種情況下，您可以透過該服務說明的替代存取方式來存取該資訊。或者您可以使用我們的網站表單告訴我們，我們將在 30 天內與您連絡，處理您的請求。

通訊偏好設定
您可以按照收到的電子郵件中的具體指示，停止接收更多來自 Microsoft 網站和服務的推廣電子郵件。

您還可以透過訪問並登入下列網頁，來主動選擇您要從特定 Microsoft 網站或服務接收的通訊：

Microsoft.com Profile Center 允許您選擇是否希望從 Microsoft.com 接收銷售通訊，選擇 Microsoft.com 是否可以與選定的第三方共享您的連絡資訊，以及是否訂閱或取消訂閱我們產品和服務的相關快訊。
MSN & Windows Live Communications Preferences 網頁允許您選擇是否希望從 MSN 或 Windows Live 接收銷售資料。您可以透過進入 MSN Newsletters 網站來訂閱或取消訂閱 MSN 通訊。
如果您具有 Xbox.com 或 Xbox Live 帳號，則可以透過在「編輯玩家設定檔」下選取「私隱權設定」，或者選取「資訊」來設定您的連絡偏好設定，並選擇是否與 Xbox 合作夥伴或您控制台上 Xbox.com 的 My Xbox 頁面共享您的連絡資訊。
如果您註冊了 Microsoft Partner Program，則可以透過點按 Partner Program 網站上的「Manage Your Account」來設定您的連絡偏好設定，或選擇讓其他 Microsoft 合作夥伴共享您的連絡資訊。
這些通訊選擇不適用於作為特定 Microsoft 服務一部份的義務服務通訊 (您會定期收到這些通訊，除非您取消該服務)。

個人資訊的安全
Microsoft 致力於保護個人資訊的安全。我們使用各種安全技術和程序來保護您的個人資訊，以防止未經授權的存取、使用或公開。例如，我們將您提供的個人資訊儲存在只具備有限存取權的電腦系統上，該系統位於受控制的設施中。當我們在互聯網上傳輸高度機密的資訊 (例如信用卡號碼或密碼) 時，我們使用加密 (例如安全通訊端層 [SSL] 協議) 對其進行保護。

如果密碼是用來協助保護您的帳號和個人資訊，則您有責任保護密碼機密。不要與任何人共享此資訊。如果您與某人共享一台電腦，您務必要選擇登出後再離開網站或服務，以防止後來的用戶存取您的資訊。

兒童個人資訊的收集和使用
請注意，如果您同意您的兒童使用 MSN 和 Windows Live 服務，這些服務將包括一般用戶通訊服務 (如 MSN Group、Messenger 和 Hotmail)，並且您的兒童將能夠與其他任何年齡的用戶進行通訊並向其公開個人資訊。家長可以變更或取消之前做出的同意選擇，並可以檢查、編輯或請求刪除兒童的個人資訊。例如，在 MSN 和 Windows Live 上，家長可以訪問「帳號服務」，然後點按「Permission for kids」。如果我們變更此私隱權聲明，並超過家長之前同意對兒童個人資訊的收集、使用或公開的範圍，我們將通知家長並要求再次獲得家長的同意。

如果您具有 MSN Premium、MSN Plus 或 MSN 9 Dial-Up 帳號，則可以選擇為該帳號的其他用戶設定 MSN Parental Control。請閱讀 MSN Premium 的補充資訊，以獲得更多資訊。我們還提供了一個專門為兒童設計的區域 http://kids.msn.com/，該區域具有特殊私隱權聲明，通知兒童和家長有關 MSN Kids 區域的資訊，說明該區域提供的額外私隱權保護措施，並為兒童提供如何在線上保護他們自己的提示。

我們建議您與兒童探討關於在線上與陌生人通訊以及公開個人資訊的問題。您和您的兒童可以訪問我們的線上安全資源，以獲得有關安全使用互聯網的更多資訊。

Cookie 的使用
Microsoft 網站使用「cookie」來讓您登入我們的服務並協助個性化您的線上體驗。Cookie 是一個小型文字檔，由網頁伺服器放置在您的硬碟內。Cookie 包含某些資訊，這些資訊以後可以由向您發送 cookie 的網域中的網頁伺服器讀取。Cookie 無法用於執行程式或向您的電腦傳送病毒。

Microsoft 網站使用 cookie 將您的偏好設定和其他資訊儲存在您的電腦內，讓您免於重複輸入相同資訊以節省時間，並可在以後訪問這些網站時顯示您個性化的內容與適當的廣告。

當您使用憑證登入網站時，Microsoft Passport Network 會將您的唯一識別碼以及您登入的時間儲存在硬碟內已加密的 cookie 中。此 cookie 可讓您從該網站的某一頁移到另一頁時，無需逐頁重新登入。當您登出時，這些 cookie 將從您的電腦上刪除。Passport Network 還使用 cookie 來改善登入體驗。例如，您的電子郵件地址可以儲存在一個 cookie 中，而該 cookie 在您登出後仍保留在您的電腦內。此 cookie 可讓您的電子郵件地址提前寫入，所以在您下次登入時只需鍵入您的密碼。如果您使用公用電腦或者您不想儲存此資訊，則可以在登入頁上選擇適當的單選按鈕，便不會使用此 cookie。

您可以接受或拒絕使用 cookie。大多數 Web 瀏覽器會自動接受 cookie，但如果您願意，通常可以修改瀏覽器設定以拒絕使用 cookie。如果您選擇拒絕使用 cookie，則可能會無法登入或使用其他需要 cookie 的 Microsoft 網站和服務的互動功能。

Web Beacon 的使用
Microsoft 網頁可能包含電子影像，即 Web Beacon，有時稱為單像素 GIF 圖檔 - 可以用於協助在網站上傳送 cookie，並可讓我們計算訪問這些網頁的用戶數以及傳送共用品牌的服務。我們可能在推廣電子郵件訊息或我們的通訊中包含 Web Beacon，以確定訊息是否被開啟及發生作用。

Microsoft 還可能使用第三方的 Web Beacon，以協助我們收集積聚的統計資料並確定我們推廣活動的有效性。我們禁止第三方使用我們網站上的 Web Beacon 來收集或存取您的個人資訊。

最後，我們可能與其他在 Microsoft 網站上打廣告的公司合作，將 Web Beacon 放置在他們的網站上，從而可讓我們統計有關由點按 Microsoft 網站上的廣告而導致在廣告客戶網站上進行購買或其他行為的頻率。

第三方廣告網絡的使用
您在 Microsoft 網頁上看到的大多數線上標題廣告由 Microsoft 所展示。然而，我們允許其他公司 (稱為第三方廣告伺服器或廣告網絡) 在 Microsoft 網頁上展示廣告。某些廣告網絡可能會將永久性 cookie 放置在您的電腦上，以便他們在傳送線上廣告時能識別您的電腦。以這種方式，廣告網絡可以收集有關您或使用您電腦的其他人從何處觀看他們的廣告，並確定哪些廣告被點按。此資訊可讓廣告網絡向您傳送他們認為您最感興趣的目標廣告。Microsoft 無法存取第三方廣告伺服器或廣告網路放置的 cookie。

Microsoft 與目前進行此作業的許多第三方廣告網絡保持著合作關係，如：Avenue A、BlueStreak、DoubleClick、Mediaplex、Pointroll、RealMedia、TangoZebra 和 Unicast。這些使用永久 cookie 的廣告網絡可以為您提供一種退出廣告目標的方法。

控制「垃圾郵件」或來路不明的電子郵件
Microsoft 非常重視如何控制來路不明的商業電子郵件或「垃圾郵件」。Microsoft 具有嚴格的反垃圾郵件原則， 禁止使用 Hotmail 或其他 MSN 電子郵件帳號傳送垃圾郵件。Microsoft 不向第三方出售、租借或租賃其電子郵件用戶清單。Microsoft 正在繼續積極檢驗和實施新技術 (例如擴充過濾功能)，但目前並沒有可用的技術能夠完全阻止傳送和接收來路不明的電子郵件。使用諸如 Inbox Protector 等工具，以及在線上謹慎共享您的電子郵件地址，將有助於減少收到來路不明的電子郵件的數量。
此私隱權聲明的執行
如果關於此聲明您有任何問題，您應首先透過使用我們的網站表單與我們連絡。如果您沒有收到問題的答覆，或者
對此私隱權聲明的變更
我們將間或更新此私隱權聲明，以反映我們在服務中的變更和客戶回響。如果我們變更此聲明，我們將修訂此聲明頂端的「最近更新」日期。如果對此聲明或關於 Microsoft 如何使用您的個人資訊作出重要變更，則我們將通知您，透過在實施變更之前顯著張貼此類變更的通知或直接向您傳送通知。我們建議您定期查看此聲明，以瞭解 Microsoft 正在如何保護您的資訊。
與我們連絡
Microsoft 歡迎您提出有關此私隱權聲明的意見。如您對此聲明有任何問題，或者您認為我們沒有遵守此聲明，請透過使用我們的網站表單與我們連絡。

Xbox LIVE、Windows - LIVE 遊戲與 Xbox.com 隱私權聲明增補
最後更新日期︰2007 年 3 月

玩家代號和暱稱

當您為使用 Xbox 或 Games for Windows 而建立 LIVE 帳戶時，系統同時會要求您建立一個玩家代號。您也可以使用不同的暱稱來進行遊戲。在您為使用 Xbox 或 Games for Windows (以下統稱「服務」) 登入 LIVE 服務之後，這些玩家代號和暱稱會顯示出來讓其他玩家看到，並且可能會在遊戲中、透過 Windows Live Messenger 和/或網路上與您的遊戲統計資料與線上狀態一起顯示出來。正因為其他人會看得到這些名字，所以在建立玩家代號或暱稱時，您不應該使用個人資料來命名。您可能還會有機會附加照片、圖片、文字或音檔到您的統計資料中。如果您將上述資料附加進去，服務中的其他使用者便可看到或聽到該資料。

服務統計資料

我們可能會蒐集有關您使用「服務」的資訊。此資訊可包含下列活動︰您登入和登出「服務」的次數；您在「服務」上進行過的遊戲；您在「服務」上購買的專案；以及遊戲分數統計資料。如果您使用了含有儲存裝置 (硬碟或記憶匣) 的 Xbox 360 主機，並且如果您離線進行遊戲或從未登入「服務」，則使用資料會儲存在您 Xbox 主機的儲存裝置中並於下次您登入「服務」時傳送至 Microsoft。不過，在 Xbox LIVE 設定畫面中，您可以在連線到「服務」之前將此資訊從您的儲存裝置刪除，或將其封鎖，不對其他使用者顯示。當您的 Xbox 連線到網際網路時，Microsoft 能夠識別您目前所使用的 Xbox 主機和 Xbox 設定畫面的版本。此外，當透過個人電腦存取「服務」時，Microsoft 會蒐集您所使用之 LIVE 軟體版本的資訊。此資訊是專門用來提醒 Microsof 在適當時刻提供您「服務」的自動更新版本，以及保護「服務」的安全性。

反作弊

為了藉由作弊偵測讓所有使用者擁有公平的遊戲體驗，Microsoft 會定期蒐集您透過個人電腦登入「服務」以使用 Games for Windows 時的電腦資訊，這些資訊包括：您的 IP 位址、作業系統和 LIVE 軟體版本，以及其他非個人作業系統和驅動程式狀態資訊。此外，Microsoft 可能還會蒐集在您電腦上執行之其他軟體的資訊，根據 Microsoft 的分析，即疑似用於作弊的軟體，還有 LIVE 軟體所產生的偽造報告，包括疑似作弊軟體的識別、啟用 LIVE 遊戲軟體的產品金鑰、您個人使用「服務」以及您與其他啟用 LIVE 遊戲玩家使用「服務」時的網路效能資料，以及關於 LIVE 軟體毀損的資訊。Microsoft 會將此資訊用於保護「服務」的安全性，並且可能對您的 LIVE 帳戶採取強制行動，不過我們不會將此資訊用於任何會停用在您電腦上執行的任何其他軟體。

線上狀態

如果您是「服務」的訂閱者，其他訂閱者將可以透過「服務」、Windows Live Messenger 或在 Xbox.com 網站上看到您的玩家代號、暱稱與類似排行榜最高分數的統計資料。其他訂閱者可檢視其他像是您的玩家圖片、座右銘、國家等資料，以及像是您所喜愛的遊戲和您的線上狀態等統計資料，不過您可以封鎖此資料的分享，或是只分享這些資料給您好友名單上的好友。如果您使用 Xbox 360 或個人電腦，您的玩家代號會自動與您的驗證網路憑證連結，因此當您登入 Xbox.com、Bungie.net 或其他相關遊戲網站時，您會獲得個人化的體驗並可存取額外的功能。如果您使用第一代 Xbox，您便有機會在網站上的 [我的 Xbox] 區手動將您的玩家代號與您的驗證網路憑證連結。您的玩家代號與 Windows LIVE ID 的連結亦可與協力廠商遊戲網站共享，讓那些網站可以在您登入時提供個人化的體驗。

存取您的資訊

不論您是從 Xbox 主機或個人電腦存取「服務」，您隨時都可以在 Xbox.com 的 [我的 Box] 頁面檢視或編輯您的個人資料，或者變更您的連絡人和資料分享喜好設定。您也可以在 Xbox 360 的 [編輯玩家設定檔] 下選取 [隱私權設定]，或者在第一代 Xbox LIVE 設定畫面的 [帳戶管理] 中選取 [資訊分享] 選項，來更新您的個人資料。您可以打電話到 Xbox 客戶支援部門 (800-96-4215)，取消您在「服務」的帳戶。

家長監護與家長同意

如果您有小孩使用「服務」，您可以在建立帳戶時使用「家長監護」功能選擇設定小孩的帳戶。兒童的使用資訊，像是玩過的遊戲、下載記錄與好友名單皆可供與兒童相關的家長帳戶所有人檢視。相關的家長帳戶所有人可以讓兒童帳戶使用預設設定，或者針對每個兒童帳戶自訂限制的層級。

13 歲以下的兒童需要家長的同意，才能建立「服務」帳戶。建立帳戶會啟用「服務」和某些 Xbox.com 功能，而這需要相關家長帳戶所有人的同意，才能蒐集有關該兒童的資訊。這將牽涉信用卡卡號的蒐集與驗證，係為協助判斷該家長帳戶的所有人是否為成人。使用個人電腦的話，家長可在 Xbox LIVE 設定畫面中的 [家長監護] 或透過 Xbox.com，取消先前做出的同意選擇，並可檢視、編輯或要求刪除兒童的個人資訊。我們不會故意要求 13 歲以下的兒童提供超過服務之合理需求的資訊。如果我們變更了本隱私權聲明，要擴展蒐集、使用或透露家長先前同意的兒童個人資訊範圍，會先通知家長，並需要取得家長的進一步同意。

Xbox Live Terms of Use and Privacy Statement
Last Updated: November 2007

1. THIS IS A CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU AND MICROSOFT
This is a contract between you and Microsoft Corporation (located at One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399 United States) or, based on where you live, a Microsoft Corporation affiliate. We will refer to ourselves in this contract as with "Microsoft", "we" or "our." You are an individual person. You must be at least 18 years old and have attained the age of majority in the province, state or country in which you live. The facts you give us must be complete and correct. A printable version of the most current form of this contract is posted on the Xbox.com web site (http://www.xbox.com/live).

This contract covers your use of this service via an original Xbox console, an Xbox 360 console or a personal computer as applicable, and includes any other related services for which you choose to sign up (for example, specific game subscriptions), content and other media (for example, items downloaded from Xbox Live Marketplace), software, machines, support, papers, updates or upgrades. We refer to these all as the "Service."

The Service is offered to you conditioned on your acceptance without modification of these terms, conditions, and notices contained herein. By selecting "ACCEPT" below, you are attaching your electronic signature to and agreeing to this contract. You understand that if you do not agree to this contract, you should select "DECLINE", discontinue your registration and refrain from using Xbox Live.

Please note that this contract limits our liability and we do not provide warranties for the Service. The contract also limits your remedies. These terms are in Sections 15 and 16 and we urge you to read the terms carefully.

2. ADDITIONAL TERMS

Certain games, content offerings, features, or events available via this Service may contain additional terms, codes of conduct or guidelines that govern use of those games or features or participation in those events (for example, sweepstakes and tournaments). If any terms in this contract conflict with any terms and contained within any particular game, feature or event, then the terms in this contract shall control. Any dealings with third parties or participation in promotions, sweepstakes and tournaments, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings are solely between you and the third party. We do not endorse and will not be responsible or liable for any aspect of any such dealings.

Some Service features and related services may also be available to you on http://www.xbox.com/live or Xbox Live game-related web sites, and are also subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable web site.

3. HOW AND WHEN YOU MAY USE THE SERVICE

We provide the Service for your personal use. You may not use the Service for commercial purposes or in a way that is against the law. You also may not use it in a way that harms us or our affiliates, resellers, distributors, service providers, partners and/or suppliers (collectively, the "Microsoft Parties"), or any customer of a Microsoft Party. Some examples of harmful activity that we do not permit include: (i) trying to gain access to any account, computers, hardware or networks related to this Service without authorization; (ii) disrupting accounts, computers, hardware or networks related to the Service; (iii) obtaining or trying to obtain any data through any means from the Service, except if we intend to provide or make it available to you; (iv) using the Service or related hardware to obtain any data to design, develop or update unauthorized software that you use or provide to others to access or use in connection with the Service; (v) charging others to use the Service either directly or indirectly; (vi) using or distributing unauthorized cheats, macros or scripts; (vii) exploiting any bug, or making unauthorized modifications to any software or data, in the Service or particular game to gain unfair advantage in a game.

We may tell you about other specific harmful uses in a code of conduct or other notice available through the Service. We have, however, no duty to do so. You will obey any codes of conduct or other notices we provide.
You may start using the Service right after you finish the sign-up process. No withdrawal right or "cooling-off" period applies to the Service, except if the law requires a "cooling-off" period even when your use of a service starts right away.

4. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SERVICE ACCOUNT
You are responsible for all activity under your Service account. You are responsible for keeping confidential any password for your Service account. We may allow you to have additional persons use your Service account and/or have additional member accounts associated to your Service account. We refer to these as "associated accounts." We may limit who may use your Service account or any associated accounts. You must tell us right away about anyone using your account without your consent, or any security breach that relates to the Service.

5. ASSOCIATED ACCOUNT USERS

If you are the user of an associated account, then the holder of the Service account has full control over your associated account. This control includes the right to end the Service, close or alter your associated account at any time, and to request and receive usage information related to your associated account. Any data related to your associated account is collected and delivered to the holder of the Service account and Microsoft. As an associated account user, this contract applies to you except for the following sections: Section 4 (You Are Responsible for Your Service Account), Section 6 (Charges and Billing); Section 18 (Your Cancellation of Service), and Section 24 (Our Notices to You; Consent Regarding Electronic Information).

You represent that you are the parent or legal guardian of each minor that you allow to use your Service account or associated account. You acknowledge that you are aware that some features of the Service and some content available through the service may contain or expose users to material that is unsuitable for minors, and you agree to supervise usage by minors whom you permit to use the Service. Microsoft offers Family Settings on Xbox 360 that help you limit access to material that may be unsuitable for minors. By applying Family Settings to an associated account at sign-up, you may, among other things, prevent any user of an associated account from making additional purchases, and prevent any user from having access to voice and video chat, which will eliminate the ability of such user to communicate with other users. You may view or revise your Family Settings in the Xbox Dashboard in the System area. If you are interested in learning more about Family Settings, information is available at http://www.xbox.com/support/familysettings/default.htm. You remain responsible for any material to which a user of your subscription either gains or is denied access as a result of your use or non-use of the Family Settings.

6. CHARGES AND BILLING
6.1 Not Applicable to Some Situations. If you pay us for the Service (either currently or in the future) and/or for additional items and services (e.g., games, downloads, Service upgrades, or other premium features) available for purchase via the Service (collectively for purposes of this Section 6, "Other Items"), and you pay with a designated payment instrument such as a credit card ("Payment Method"), then the terms of this Section 6 apply to you. This Section will also apply to you if your Service is renewed with your Payment Method following the expiration of any current Service term. In some cases, designation of a Payment Method is required when you sign up for the Service or Other Items. Certain Other Items may be provided for a fee paid to a company other than Microsoft, in which case the terms applicable to charges and billing are as set forth by the other company.

6.2 Payment. By entering a designated Payment Method when you sign up or any time after, you will create an online account (your "Billing Account"). You confirm that you are authorized to use the Payment Method. You will pay Microsoft all charges at the prices then in effect for all purchases made using your Billing Account, and you authorize Microsoft to charge, and you agree to pay using, your designated Payment Method. You will pay for all purchases in advance.

We may charge a different amount from what you approved. If we do, we will tell you the amount and the date of the charge at least 10 days before we make the charge. If your purchase consists of a subscription, we may bill you for more than one of your prior billing periods together. We will not bill you more than once in any billing period for each subscription you purchase. Other purchases (such as a one-time download) will be billed when the purchase is made.

You may tell us to stop using your Payment Method by calling Xbox Customer Support. If you do so, however, we may cancel your Service and/or any Other Items to which you are subscribed. Your notice to us will not affect charges we submit to your Billing Account before we could reasonably act on your request. You must keep all information in your Billing Account accurate and current. You may change your Payment Method at any time. You can access and make changes to your Billing Account in the Account Management section of the Xbox Dashboard, or if you access your Service via an Xbox 360 console, at https://billing.microsoft.com.

6.3 Trial Period Offers. You may have received a limited time of free Service or some other trial period offer for Other Items. If you are participating in any such trial, then unless the terms of the particular subscription state otherwise, you must cancel the applicable Service or Other Item by the end of the trial period to avoid incurring applicable charges to your Payment Method. If you do not cancel the applicable Service or Other Item by the end of the trial period, then you hereby authorize Microsoft to charge your Payment Method. If you do not have a Billing Account, then the applicable subscription will expire at the end of your trial period. However, if you are participating in any Xbox Live Gold Membership trial period on an Xbox 360 console, your subscription will continue but will downgrade to a free Xbox Live Silver Membership at the end of your Gold membership trial period, regardless of whether you have a Billing Account. In this case, to maintain your Gold membership level, you must either set your Gold membership to automatically renew with a charge to your Payment Method, or you must enter a new Xbox Live prepaid card.

6.4 Prices and Price Increases. Prices for the Service and Other Items exclude all taxes and telecommunication charges, unless expressly stated otherwise. To the maximum extent permitted by law, these taxes and charges are your responsibility. Currency exchange settlements are based on your agreement with your Payment Method provider. We may change the pricing of the Service and Other Items from time to time. We will tell you before any change. If there is a specific time length and price for your Service or Other Item offer, then that price will remain in force for that time. Your use of the Service or Other Item after that time, however, will be charged at the new price. If your Service or Other Item is on a period basis (for example, monthly), with no specific time period, then any price change will start when we say. If you do not agree to these changes, then you must cancel and stop using the Service or Other Item before the changes are in force. If you cancel your Service or Other Item, then unless the terms of your subscription state otherwise, your Service or Other Item ends immediately.


6.5 Subscription Renewal. If you sign up for a Service or Other Item that is a monthly subscription, then unless the terms of that subscription state otherwise, your subscription will automatically and continuously renew from month to month and if it is a subscription that requires payment of a fee, your Payment Method will be charged unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of that month. If you are subscribed for longer subscription periods (e.g., 3, 6 or 12 months) then unless the terms of that subscription state otherwise, your subscription will automatically and continuously renew for such period and if it is a subscription that requires the payment of a fee, your Payment Method will be charged at prices then in effect. In some cases relating to Service offers or Other Items available on Xbox 360 consoles, you may have the option to create or renew a subscription with a prepaid card instead of your Payment Method. Your Service may be cancelled at the end of your subscription term if you do not have a Billing Account or have not elected to auto-renew your subscription with a charge to your Payment Method, and/or have not entered a prepaid card for purposes of renewing your Service. If you sign up for an Xbox Live Gold Membership on an Xbox 360 console using a prepaid card, your subscription will continue but will downgrade to a free Xbox Live Silver Membership at the end of your pre-paid Gold membership period, regardless of whether you have a Billing Account. In this case, to maintain your Gold membership, you must set your account to automatically renew with a charge to your Payment Method or you must enter a new prepaid card. If you modify your Service from an original Xbox console to an Xbox 360 console, your Service will automatically renew annually at the then-current annual subscription price following the end of your current Service term (regardless of whether that current Service term is an annual or monthly term).

6.6 Refund Policies. Except as stated otherwise, or as otherwise provided by applicable law, all charges are non-refundable. If you signed up for an annual Service and paid the annual fee with your Payment Method, we may provide you a full refund of the annual fee if you cancel within the first 60 days of your Service. Additional information about refunds is available at http://www.xbox.com/live/accounts/default.htm.

6.7 Billing Statements. Charges on your Billing Account will be summarized for you in e-mail receipt(s) sent to the e-mail address you provided at initial Service sign-up. You agree that such e-mail receipts are the only statement of your Billing Account that Microsoft needs to provide to you. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PRINT OR SAVE A COPY OF EACH EMAIL RECEIPT AND TO RETAIN COPIES FOR YOUR RECORDS. If you request a paper copy, we may charge you a retrieval fee. To request a paper copy of an e-mail receipt, call Xbox Customer Support. We will only provide paper copies for the past 120 days. Your inability to view or receive e-mail (e.g. due to your e-mail filter settings) does not extend, or relieve you of, your obligation to pay any amounts owing to Microsoft.
If you sign up to the Service via an Xbox 360 console or personal computer, or modify your Service from an original Xbox console to an Xbox 360 console, then we will also provide you with an online billing statement. Go to https://billing.microsoft.com to view, print or request a paper copy of this statement. If you request a paper copy, we may charge you a retrieval fee. We will only provide paper copies for the past 120 days.

6.8 Errors. If we make an error on your bill, we will correct it promptly after you tell us and we investigate the charge. You must tell us within 120 days after an error first appears on your bill. You release us from all liability and claims of loss resulting from any error that you do not report to us within 120 days after the error first appears on your online statement. If you do not tell us within this time, we will not be required to correct the error. We can correct billing errors at any time.

6.9 Late Payments. We may assess a late charge if you do not pay on time. You must pay these late charges when we bill you for them. The late charge will be the lesser of 1% of the unpaid amount each month or the maximum rate that is permitted by law. We may use a third party to collect past due amounts. These costs include reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal fees and costs. We may suspend of cancel your Service if you fail to pay any amounts due on time.

6.10 Internet Access Service. You are responsible for paying the fees charged by your internet access provider. These fees are in addition to the fees you pay us for the Service.

7. MICROSOFT POINTS

If you are using the Service on an Xbox 360 console or personal computer, you can participate in the Microsoft Points service. Microsoft Points is a service under which you can acquire Points and redeem those Points for certain online services and digital goods. You can see how many Points you have by checking your Points balance at https://billing.microsoft.com. You can obtain selected services or digital goods that we elect to offer in exchange for Points. You can do this by redeeming your Points as indicated in the particular messaging you see for those offers.

You can acquire Points in a variety of ways. For example, you can purchase Points, or certain services may give you Points for using the service or specific features of the service (also known as "reward Points"). You can earn reward Points only for actions you actually complete. You are responsible for any tax consequences that may result from your participation in the Points service.

When you obtain Points, you have obtained a limited license to a digital good. Points have no monetary value. You may not obtain any cash or money in exchange for Points, regardless of how you acquired those Points. Points are not your personal property. Your only recourse for using Points is to obtain the specific online services or digital goods that we offer for Points redemption. We may further restrict your Points redemption offers based on your country of residence. We encourage you to redeem your Points. The existence of a particular offer available for Points redemption is not a commitment by us to maintain or continue to make such offers in the future. The scope, variety and type of online services and digital goods that you may obtain by redeeming Points can change at any time. We have no obligation to continue making offers available for Points redemption.

Reward Points may expire at any time, as set forth in the messaging related to that reward Points promotion. We may cancel, suspend or otherwise limit your access to your Points balance if we suspect fraudulent, abusive or unlawful activity on your Points balance. Once we delete Points from a balance, we will not reinstate them, except at our discretion. When we cancel, suspend or otherwise limit access to your Points balance, your right to use your Points balance immediately ceases. We will use reasonable efforts to investigate Points balances that are subject to access limitations and to reach a final decision on the limitations promptly. In addition, we may limit your use of the Points service, including applying limits to: the number of Points you may have credited to your Points balance at one time, the number of Points you may redeem within a given time period (for example, one day), and the number of reward Points you may obtain per promotion.

If we post Points to your balance for an activity that is subsequently voided, canceled or involves a returned item, then we will remove those Points from your balance. You must ensure that we properly post your Points to your Points balance. If you believe that you have validly acquired Points that we have not posted to your Points balance, then you must contact us within 12 months after the date you claimed to have acquired those Points and we may require reasonable documentation to support your claim.

If the submission is a photograph or other digital image, you also expressly waive any and all rights of privacy and publicity with respect to the image. This section only applies for legally permissible and authorized content, and to the extent that use and publishing of legal content does not breach the law. We will not pay you for your submission. We may refuse to transfer, or we may remove your submission at any time. For each submission, you must have all rights necessary for you to grant the permissions in this section.
You should not expect any level of privacy concerning your use of the live communication features of the Service. These communications may be monitored; however, we cannot monitor the entire Service and make no attempt to do so. You understand that these communications can be recorded and used by others. Some games may utilize game managers and hosts. Game managers and hosts are not authorized Microsoft spokespersons, and their views do not necessarily reflect those of Microsoft.

We do not routinely monitor your use of the messaging features of the Service. However, to the maximum extent permitted by law, we may monitor your messages and may disclose information about you, including contents of messages, if we deem it necessary to: (1) conform to legal requirements or respond to legal process, (2) ensure your compliance with this contract, or (3) protect the rights, property, or interests of Microsoft, its employees, its customers or the public.

11. MICROSOFT AUTHENTICATION NETWORK

We may provide you with credentials on the authentication Network to use with the Service. Our authentication network is a multi-purpose authentication Web service that makes it easy for you to sign in to Web sites. You may not use any software or hardware that reduces the number of users directly accessing or using the authentication network (sometimes called "multiplexing" or "pooling" software or hardware). You are solely responsible for any dealings with third parties (including advertisers) who use our authentication network, including the delivery of and payment for goods and services. This contract applies to you whenever you access or use the credentials you obtained with the Service. When you use the authentication network to gain access to any site or service, the terms and conditions for that site or service may also apply to you. Please refer to the terms of use for each site or service that you visit. We may cancel or suspend your access to the authentication network for inactivity, which we define as failing to sign in to our authentication network for an extended period, as determined by us. When we cancel your credentials, your right to use our authentication network immediately ceases, and we may also cancel your Service.

12. PERFORMANCE AND USAGE INFORMATION

12.1 Performance Data. We may automatically upload performance data for evaluating the Service and the software associated with the Service, and/or the console you use to connect to the Service. Such data may include console hardware and operating performance data, and network performance and service quality data. Any software or hardware errors, which may occur while you are connected to Xbox Live or offline, may be uploaded and reported. All such data may be stored with the console's unique identifier, and may also be associated with other personally identifiable information. This data will only be used to improve the Xbox and the Xbox Live customer experience.

12.2 Usage Data. Additionally, in order to evaluate and enable the features and functions of the Xbox Live service, such as leaderboards, achievements, tournaments and gamer profile sharing, you grant Microsoft Parties permission to use, track, store, copy, distribute, broadcast, transmit, publicly display and perform, and reproduce your game scores, your game play sessions, presence on the Service, rankings, statistics, gamer profile, your submissions, and other usage information with or without attribution to your gamertag, and without notice or compensation to you of any kind.

You agree that you are using authorized software and hardware to access the Service, and that your software and hardware have not been modified in any unauthorized way (e.g., authorized repairs, upgrades and downloads). Any attempt to disassemble, decompile, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, modify, further sublicense, distribute or use for other purposes either the hardware or software associated with an original Xbox or Xbox 360 console or the Service, is strictly prohibited and may result in cancellation of your account and/or your ability to access the Service, and the pursuit of other legal remedies by Microsoft. Microsoft may take any legal action it deems appropriate against users who violate Microsoft's systems or network security or this contract or any additional terms as described in Section 2 above, and such users may also incur criminal and/or civil liability.

Microsoft reserves complete and sole discretion with respect to the operation of the Service. Microsoft may, among other things: (a) restrict or limit access to the Service; (b) retrieve information from the original Xbox, Xbox 360 console, personal computer, and any connected peripheral device used to log onto the Service as necessary to operate and protect the security of the Service, and to enforce this Agreement; and (c) upgrade, modify, withdraw, suspend, or discontinue any functionality or feature of the Service or any game from time to time without notice, which may involve the automatic download of related software directly to your original Xbox, Xbox 360 console, personal computer, and which software may prevent you from accessing the Service, playing pirated games, or using unauthorized peripheral devices.

14. HOW WE MAY CHANGE THIS CONTRACT

If we change this contract, then we will tell you at least 30 days before the change is in force. We will tell you of the change by e-mail or online posting. We may also use other ways that we believe will reach you. If you do not agree to such changes, then you must cancel and stop using the Service before the changes are in force. If you do not stop using the Service, then your use of the Service will continue under the changed contract.

15. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY

We provide the Service "as-is," "with all faults" and "as available." The Microsoft Parties give no express warranties, guarantees or conditions. You may have additional consumer rights under your local laws that this contract cannot change.

16. LIABILITY LIMITATION; YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY

You can recover from the Microsoft Parties only direct damages up to an amount equal to your Service fee for one month. You cannot recover any other damages, including consequential, lost profits, special, indirect or incidental damages.

It also applies even if:

- this remedy does not fully compensate you for any losses, or fails of its essential purpose; or
- Microsoft knew or should have known about the possibility of damages.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. They also may not apply to you because your province or country may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or other damages.

17. CHANGES TO THE SERVICE; OUR CANCELLATION OF THE SERVICE
We may change the Service or delete or discontinue features, games or other content at any time and for any reason. We may cancel or suspend your Service at any time. Our cancellation or suspension may be without cause and/or without notice. Upon Service cancellation, your right to use the Service stops right away. Once the Service is cancelled or suspended, any data you have stored on the Service may not be retrieved later. Our cancellation of the Service will not alter your obligation to pay all charges made to your Billing Account.

18. YOUR CANCELLATION OF SERVICE

20. INTERPRETING THE CONTRACT
All parts of this contract apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. A court may hold that we cannot enforce a part of this contract as written. If this happens, then we will replace that part with terms that most closely match the intent of the part that we cannot enforce. The rest of this contract will not change. Except as expressly stated herein, this is the entire contract between us regarding your use of the Service, and it supersedes any prior contract or statements regarding your use of the Service.

Microsoft Online Privacy Statement

(last updated: January 2006)

view the privacy notice highlights
Microsoft is committed to protecting your privacy. Please read the Microsoft Online Privacy Statement below and also any supplemental information listed to the right for additional details about particular Microsoft sites and services that you may use.

This Microsoft Online Privacy Statement applies to data collected by Microsoft through the majority of its Web sites and services, as well as its offline product support services. It does not apply to those Microsoft sites, services and products that do not display or link to this statement or that have their own privacy statements.

Collection of Your Personal Information
In order to access some Microsoft services, you will be asked to sign in with an e-mail address and password, which we refer to as your credentials. In most cases, these credentials will be part of the Microsoft Passport Network, which means you can use the same credentials to sign in to many different Microsoft sites and services, as well as those of select Microsoft partners. By signing in on one Microsoft site or service, you may be automatically signed into other Microsoft sites and services. If you access our services via a mobile phone, you may also use your telephone number and a PIN as an alternative credential to your username and password. As part of creating your credentials, you may also be requested to provide questions and secret answers, which we use to help verify your identity and assist in resetting your password, as well as an alternate e-mail address. Some services may require added security, and in these cases, you may be asked to create an additional security key. Finally, a unique ID number will be assigned to your credentials that will be used to identify your credentials and associated information.

At some Microsoft sites, we ask you to provide personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. We may also collect demographic information, such as your postcode, age, gender, preferences, interests and favourites.
