EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. You acknowledge that the Product is of U.S. origin and subject to U.S. export jurisdiction. You agree to comply with all applicable international and national laws that apply to the Product, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, as well as end-user, end-use, and destination restrictions issued by U.S. and other governments. For additional information see . 11. AUTOMATIC INTERNET-BASED SERVICES. The Product features described below are enabled by default to connect via the Internet to Microsoft computer systems automatically, without separate notice to you. You consent to the operation of these features, unless you choose to switch them off or not use them. Microsoft does not obtain personally identifiable information through any of these features. For more information about these features, please see your Software documentation or the Microsoft online support site. a. Windows Update Features. Under the Product's default configuration, if you connect a device to your Workstation Computer and the correct device driver is not available on your Workstation Computer, then Windows Update features on your Workstation Computer (including Device Manager and the Plug & Play CDM Module) automatically attempt to check Microsoft computer systems via the Internet for the correct device driver. Having this happen automatically makes Plug-and-Play installation of new hardware a better experience for customers. You may switch off Windows Update's automatic driver checking feature. b. Web Content Features. Under the Product's default configuration, if you are connected to the Internet, several features of the Product are enabled by default to retrieve content from Microsoft computer systems and display it to you. When you activate such a feature, it uses standard Internet protocols, which transmit the type of operating system, browser and language code of your Workstation Computer to the Microsoft computer system so that the content can be viewed properly from your Workstation Computer. These features only operate when you activate them, and you may choose to switch them off or not use them. An example of this feature is Appshelp. c. Digital Certificates. Use of certificates based on the X.509 standard is an important security feature of the Product. Certain functions of the X.509 implementation (for example, certificate revocation checking and certificate path building) connect via the Internet to computer systems belonging to Microsoft and other digital certificate authorities to check the validity of digital certificates that you receive from third parties during certain Internet-based operations (for example, communications secured with SSL or IPsec, mail secured with S/MIME, and smartcard authentication). In accordance with the X.509 standard, the Product automatically retrieves user certificates and certificate revocation lists when you attempt to access certificate protected content. Additionally, the Product's Auto Root Update feature will occasionally update the list of trusted certificate authorities. Auto Root Update is an optional feature; you can uninstall it if you do not desire it to function. The other security operations based on the X.509 standard can be prevented from operating by blocking Internet access. d. Windows Media Digital Rights Management. Content providers are using the digital rights management technology for Windows Media contained in this Product ("WM-DRM") to protect the integrity of their content ("Secure Content") so that their intellectual property, including copyright, in such content is not misappropriated. Portions of this Product and third party applications such as media players use WM-DRM to play Secure Content ("WM-DRM Software"). If the WM-DRM Software's security has been compromised, owners of Secure Content ("Secure Content Owners") may request that Microsoft revoke the WM-DRM Software's right to copy, display and/or play Secure Content. Revocation does not alter the WM-DRM Software's ability to play unprotected content. A list of revoked WM-DRM Software is sent to your computer whenever you download a license for Secure Content from the Internet. Microsoft may, in conjunction with such license, also download revocation lists onto your computer on behalf of Secure Content Owners. Secure Content Owners may also require you to upgrade some of the WM-DRM components in this Product ("WM-DRM Upgrades") before accessing their content. When you attempt to play such content, WM-DRM Software built by Microsoft will notify you that a WM-DRM Upgrade is required and then ask for your consent before the WM-DRM Upgrade is downloaded. WM-DRM Software built by third parties may do the same. If you decline the upgrade, you will not be able to access content that requires the WM-DRM Upgrade; however, you will still be able to access unprotected content and Secure Content that does not require the upgrade. WM-DRM features that access the Internet, such as acquiring new licenses and/or performing a required WM-DRM Upgrade, can be switched off. When these features are switched off, you will still be able to play Secure Content if you have a valid license for such content already stored on your computer. e. Windows Media Player. Some features of Windows Media Player automatically contact Microsoft computer systems if you use Windows Media Player or specific features of it: features that (A) check for new codecs if your Workstation Computer does not have the correct ones for content you attempt to play (this feature may be switched off), and (B) check for new versions of Windows Media Player (this feature will operate only when you are using Windows Media Player). 12.
