EXCLUSION DES DOMMAGES INDIRECTS, ACCESSOIRES ET AUTRES.  Dans toute la mesure permise par la législation en 
vigueur, Microsoft et ses fournisseurs ne sont en aucun cas responsables de tout dommage spécial, indirect, accessoire, moral ou

d'utiliser le PRODUIT LOGICIEL, la prestation ou la non-prestation des Services d'assistance ou autrement en vertu de ou 
relativement à toute disposition de cette convention, que ce soit en cas de faute, de délit (y compris la négligence), de responsabilité 
stricte, de manquement à un contrat ou de manquement à une garantie de Microsoft ou de l'un de ses fournisseurs, et ce, même si 
Microsoft ou l'un de ses fournisseurs a été avisé de la possibilité de tels dommages.
