MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS

MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO 2015 IMAGE LIBRARY

These license terms are an agreement between Microsoft Corporation (or based on where you live, one of
its affiliates) and you. They apply to the software named above. The terms also apply to any Microsoft
services or updates for the software, except to the extent those have different terms.
IF YOU COMPLY WITH THESE LICENSE TERMS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHTS BELOW.
1. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.
a. One user may use copies of the software to develop and test their applications.
b. Backup copy. You may make one backup copy of the software, for reinstalling the software.
2. DISTRIBUTABLE CODE. The software contains code that you are permitted to distribute
(Distributable Code) in applications you develop as described in this Section. (For this Section the
term distribution also means deployment of your applications for third parties to access over the
Internet.)

a. Right to Use and Distribute.

Images. You may copy, distribute, and deploy the images in the Image Library in applications
that you develop with the Visual Studio Family of products.

Third Party Distribution. You may permit distributors of your applications to copy and distribute
the Distributable Code as part of those applications.

b. Distribution Requirements. For any Distributable Code you distribute, you must
add significant primary functionality to it in your applications;
require distributors and external end users to agree to terms that protect the Distributable
Code at least as much as this agreement; and,
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Microsoft from any claims, including attorneys fees,
related to the distribution or use of your applications, except to the extent that any claim is
based solely on the Distributable Code.
c. Distribution Restrictions. You may not use Microsofts trademarks in your applications names or
branding in a way that suggests your applications come from or are endorsed by Microsoft; or
modify or distribute the source code of any Distributable Code so that any part of it becomes
subject to an Excluded License. An Excluded License is one that requires, as a condition of use,
modification or distribution, that (i) the code be disclosed or distributed in source code form; or (ii)
others have the right to modify it.
3. DATA. The software may collect information about you and your use of the software, and send
that to Microsoft. Microsoft may use this information to provide services and improve our
products and services. You may opt-out of many of these scenarios, but not all, as described in
the product documentation. There are also some features in the software that may enable you to
collect data from users of your applications. If you use these features to enable data collection in
your applications, you must comply with applicable law, including providing appropriate notices
to users of your applications. You can learn more about data collection and use in the help
documentation and the privacy statement at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?

provide any warranties for any of the third party packages.
