Microsoft DRIVERS 5.8 FOR PHP FOR MICROSOFT SQL SERVER - Standalone (Free) Use Terms
These license terms are an agreement between you and Microsoft Corporation (or one of its
affiliates). They apply to the software named above and any Microsoft services or software
updates (except to the extent such services or updates are accompanied by new or additional
terms, in which case those different terms apply prospectively and do not alter your or Microsoft’s
rights relating to pre-updated software or services). IF YOU COMPLY WITH THESE LICENSE
TERMS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHTS BELOW. BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS.
1. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.
a) General. You may install and use any number of copies of the software.
b) Third Party Software. The software may include third party applications that Microsoft,
not the third party, licenses to you under this agreement. Any included notices for third
party applications are for your information only.
c) Competitive Benchmarking. If you are a direct competitor, and you access or use the
software for purposes of competitive benchmarking, analysis, or intelligence gathering,
you waive as against Microsoft, its subsidiaries, and its affiliated companies (including
prospectively) any competitive use, access, and benchmarking test restrictions in the
terms governing your software to the extent your terms of use are, or purport to be, more
restrictive than Microsoft’s terms. If you do not waive any such purported restrictions in
the terms governing your software, you are not allowed to access or use this software,
and will not do so.
2. DATA COLLECTION. 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 Microsoft’s products and services. Your opt-out rights, if any, are described in
the product documentation. Some features in the software may enable collection of data from
users of your applications that access or use the software. If you use these features to enable
data collection in your applications, you must comply with applicable law, including getting
any required user consent, and maintain a prominent privacy policy that accurately informs
users about how you use, collect, and share their data. You can learn more about Microsoft’s
data collection and use in the product documentation and the Microsoft Privacy Statement at
[https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=521839]. You agree to comply with all applicable
provisions of the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
3. SCOPE OF LICENSE. The software is licensed, not sold. Microsoft reserves all other rights.
Unless applicable law gives you more rights despite this limitation, you will not (and have no
right to):
a) work around any technical limitations in the software that only allow you to use it in certain ways;
b) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software;
c) remove, minimize, block, or modify any notices of Microsoft or its suppliers in the software;
d) use the software in any way that is against the law or to create or propagate malware; or
e) share, publish, distribute, or lend the software, provide the software as a stand-alone hosted solution
for others to use, or transfer the software or this agreement to any third party.
4. EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. You must comply with all domestic and international export laws
and regulations that apply to the software, which include restrictions on destinations, end
users, and end use. For further information on export restrictions, visit http://aka.ms/exporting.
5. SUPPORT SERVICES. Microsoft is not obligated under this agreement to provide any support
services for the software. Any support provided is “as is”, “with all faults”, and without
warranty of any kind.
6. UPDATES. The software may periodically check for updates, and download and install them
for you. You may obtain updates only from Microsoft or authorized sources. Microsoft may
need to update your system to provide you with updates. You agree to receive these
automatic updates without any additional notice. Updates may not include or support all
existing software features, services, or peripheral devices.
7. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This agreement, and any other terms Microsoft may provide for
supplements, updates, or third-party applications, is the entire agreement for the software.
8. APPLICABLE LAW AND PLACE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES. If you acquired the software in the
United States or Canada, the laws of the state or province where you live (or, if a business,
where your principal place of business is located) govern the interpretation of this agreement,
claims for its breach, and all other claims (including consumer protection, unfair competition,
and tort claims), regardless of conflict of laws principles. If you acquired the software in any
other country, its laws apply. If U.S. federal jurisdiction exists, you and Microsoft consent to
exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal court in King County, Washington for all
disputes heard in court. If not, you and Microsoft consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue
in the Superior Court of King County, Washington for all disputes heard in court.
9. CONSUMER RIGHTS; REGIONAL VARIATIONS. This agreement describes certain legal rights.
You may have other rights, including consumer rights, under the laws of your state, province,
or country. Separate and apart from your relationship with Microsoft, you may also have
rights with respect to the party from which you acquired the software. This agreement does
not change those other rights if the laws of your state, province, or country do not permit it to
do so. For example, if you acquired the software in one of the below regions, or mandatory
country law applies, then the following provisions apply to you:
a) Australia. You have statutory guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law and
nothing in this agreement is intended to affect those rights.
b) Canada. If you acquired this software in Canada, you may stop receiving updates
by turning off the automatic update feature, disconnecting your device from the Internet
(if and when you re-connect to the Internet, however, the software will resume checking
for and installing updates), or uninstalling the software. The product documentation, if
any, may also specify how to turn off updates for your specific device or software.
c) Germany and Austria.
i. Warranty. The properly licensed software will perform substantially as described in any Microsoft
materials that accompany the software. However, Microsoft gives no contractual guarantee in
relation to the licensed software.
ii. Limitation of Liability. In case of intentional conduct, gross negligence, claims based on the
Product Liability Act, as well as, in case of death or personal or physical injury, Microsoft is liable
according to the statutory law.
Subject to the foregoing clause ii., Microsoft will only be liable for slight negligence if
Microsoft is in breach of such material contractual obligations, the fulfillment of which
facilitate the due performance of this agreement, the breach of which would endanger
the purpose of this agreement and the compliance with which a party may constantly
trust in (so-called "cardinal obligations"). In other cases of slight negligence,
Microsoft will not be liable for slight negligence.
10. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. THE SOFTWARE IS LICENSED “AS IS.” YOU BEAR THE RISK OF
USING IT. MICROSOFT GIVES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES, OR CONDITIONS.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS, MICROSOFT EXCLUDES ALL IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT.
11. LIMITATION ON AND EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES. IF YOU HAVE ANY BASIS FOR RECOVERING
DAMAGES DESPITE THE PRECEDING DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY, YOU CAN RECOVER FROM
MICROSOFT AND ITS SUPPLIERS ONLY DIRECT DAMAGES UP TO U.S. $5.00. YOU CANNOT
RECOVER ANY OTHER DAMAGES, INCLUDING CONSEQUENTIAL, LOST PROFITS, SPECIAL,
INDIRECT OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.
This limitation applies to (a) anything related to the software, services, content (including
code) on third party Internet sites, or third party applications; and (b) claims for breach of
contract, warranty, guarantee, or condition; strict liability, negligence, or other tort; or any
other claim; in each case 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 state,
province, or country may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential, or
other damages.
Please note: As this software is distributed in Canada, some of the clauses in this agreement are
provided below in French.

EXONÉRATION DE GARANTIE. Le logiciel visé par une licence est offert « tel quel ». Toute
utilisation de ce logiciel est à votre seule risque et péril. Microsoft n’accorde aucune autre
garantie expresse. Vous pouvez bénéficier de droits additionnels en vertu du droit local sur la
protection des consommateurs, que ce contrat ne peut modifier. La ou elles sont permises par le
droit locale, les garanties implicites de qualité marchande, d’adéquation à un usage particulier et
d’absence de contrefaçon sont exclues.
LIMITATION DES DOMMAGES-INTÉRÊTS ET EXCLUSION DE RESPONSABILITÉ POUR LES
DOMMAGES. Vous pouvez obtenir de Microsoft et de ses fournisseurs une indemnisation en cas de
dommages directs uniquement à hauteur de 5,00 $ US. Vous ne pouvez prétendre à aucune
indemnisation pour les autres dommages, y compris les dommages spéciaux, indirects ou
accessoires et pertes de bénéfices.
Cette limitation concerne:
• tout ce qui est relié au logiciel, aux services ou au contenu (y compris le code) figurant sur
des sites Internet tiers ou dans des programmes tiers; et
• les réclamations au titre de violation de contrat ou de garantie, ou au titre de responsabilité
stricte, de négligence ou d’une autre faute dans la limite autorisée par la loi en vigueur.
Elle s’applique également, même si Microsoft connaissait ou devrait connaître l’éventualité d’un
tel dommage. Si votre pays n’autorise pas l’exclusion ou la limitation de responsabilité pour les
dommages indirects, accessoires ou de quelque nature que ce soit, il se peut que la limitation ou
l’exclusion ci-dessus ne s’appliquera pas à votre égard.
EFFET JURIDIQUE. Le présent contrat décrit certains droits juridiques. Vous pourriez avoir
d’autres droits prévus par les lois de votre pays. Le présent contrat ne modifie pas les droits que
vous confèrent les lois de votre pays si celles-ci ne le permettent pas.
