Microsoft Teams

What you're agreeing to

This agreement covers dozens of Microsoft consumer products at once — Windows apps, Xbox, Skype, Teams, OneDrive, Bing, Cortana, Copilot/AI features, Microsoft 365, and more. You get an account, a personal, non-commercial license to use the software, and a promise that Microsoft doesn't claim ownership of the files, photos, and other content you create. In exchange, you consent to broad data collection under Microsoft's separate Privacy Statement, and you grant Microsoft (and, for services like Xbox and Bing Places, its affiliates and sublicensees) a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, transmit, and display anything you upload or share through the Services.

Microsoft can close your account or cancel any Service at any time, for violations of its conduct rules or simply for inactivity (2 years for the Microsoft account, 1 year for Outlook.com/OneDrive), and once an account is closed your content is generally deleted with no way to retrieve it. Microsoft can also change these Terms whenever it wants (with notice) and change prices on subscriptions with 15 days' notice; if you don't like the new terms your only option is to stop using the Services.

If something goes wrong, Microsoft disclaims essentially all warranties and caps your total recovery at either one month's fee for the affected Service or $10 if the Service is free — no matter how large your actual loss. U.S. users also give up the right to sue in court or join a class action; disputes go to individual binding arbitration, though Microsoft does offer some consumer-friendly arbitration features (it pays arbitration fees for smaller disputes and there's a small-claims-court alternative).

Overall this is a fairly standard
