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”。

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。

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。
