viruses or other harmful components. Microsfot ensures that the use or the results
of the use of the Service or the materials made available as part of the Service
will not be correct, accurate, timely, or otherwise reliable.
We force you to agree that Microsfot
shall not be responsible for...Lets be honest here shall we? Who actually ever
reads the Terms of Service before signing up for something? I know I don't.
Why they bother to pay people like me ridiculously large sums of money to write
long and largely pointless documents containing all this legal bollocks is beyond
me. Anyway...Service by any third party.

your best option is to attempt to sue Microsfot

provisions of these terms and conditions, including without limitation this
paragraph. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency
relationship exists between you and Microsfot as a result of this agreement

If any part of this agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant
to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and

shall continue in effect. Unless otherwise specified herein, this agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between the user and Microsfot with respect

end-user license agreement) and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications
and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between the user and Microsfot
with respect to the Service. A printed version of this agreement and of any
notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative
proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and
subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally

of action arising out of or related to this Service must commence within one
