The Big Easy Offer Terms & Conditions

Purchase Qualification

This offer is valid only for Qualified Organizations purchasing Eligible Licenses through one of the Microsoft License programs identified below for one or more of the specific Microsoft products outlined in Schedule A, and registering those purchases in a timely manner as set forth below ("Qualified Organizations").  Qualified Organizations may include commercial and government customers.  Academic customers purchasing under Academic Agreements are not eligible to participate in this promotion.

Nothing in these terms and conditions guarantees that an organization will meet the eligibility requirements for enrollment and/or renewal in one of the Microsoft License programs.

The following licenses are considered "Eligible Licenses" for this promotion:

• Open Business License (L Only)
• Open Government License (L Only)
• Open Business License and Software Assurance (L&SA)
• Open Government License and Software Assurance (L&SA)
• Open Value License and Software Assurance (L&SA)
• Open Value Subscription
• Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") License purchased (Purchasing software preloaded on a PC or server) with the SKUs set forth in Schedule B.
• OEM License purchased (purchasing software preloaded on a PC or server) from one of the partners identified in Schedule C.
• Open Value Software Assurance if purchased with an OEM License as described immediately above. Software Assurance must be purchased within ninety days of the L purchase.
• OEM Windows Server Reseller Option Kit ("ROK")
• OEM 2007 Office Medialess License Kit ("MLK")

Eligible Licenses must be genuine licenses sold in the United States and intended for use in the United States and must be purchased from a Registered, Certified or Gold partner that is a member of the Microsoft Partner Program partners in order to qualify for partner subsidy dollars ("Authorized Selling Partners").

The partner subsidy dollars may be used with any registered, Certified or Gold Partner in the Microsoft Partner Program for services and products that provide a more complete and enriched solution to assist the Qualified Organization in implementing their solution.

Qualified Organizations may not participate in this promotion if they are participating in any other Microsoft Cash Rebate, Partner Subsidy or discounted SKU promotions.  The only exceptions to this limitation are set forth in Schedule D.

Registration Requirements and Limits

This offer is good for qualifying purchases made between February 1, 2008 and June 27th, 2008 from Authorized Selling Partners. Microsoft reserves the right to cancel or extend this promotion at any time in its sole discretion with fifteen (15) days notice. Notice will be provided only on the http://www.microsoftincentives.com/BigEasy landing page.  No individual notice will be provided if the offer is cancelled or extended.  Please check http://www.microsoftincentives.com/BigEasy for offer availability before purchasing.

The amount of partner subsidy dollars available to a Qualified Organization is determined based on the quantity and type of Eligible Licenses purchased during the offer period, as set forth in Schedule A.

Qualified Organizations must successfully register their purchase(s) at http://www.microsoftincentives.com/BigEasy by 5:00pm PDT on July 31st, 2008 to receive the partner subsidy dollars. If the Qualified Organization fails to register by 5:00pm PDT on July 31st, 2008 it forfeits the right to receive any subsidy dollars from this promotion.  The purchased software will be validated as genuine during the registration process.

Purchase Time Period: February 1, 2008 through June 27th, 2008
Registration Deadline: Before 5:00 p.m. PDT July 31st, 2008

A Qualified Organization includes the Qualified Organization’s Affiliates. "Affiliate" means any legal entity that owns, is owned by, or that is under common ownership with Customer (ownership means control of more than a 50% interest).

Provided the entity is a Qualified Organization that purchases the Eligible Licenses from an Authorized Selling Partner and registers its license purchases in a timely fashion, the Qualified Organization will receive partner subsidy dollars for the Eligible Licenses purchased during the Purchase Time Period.  The amount of partner subsidy dollars depends upon the nature and quantity of licenses purchased, as outlined in Schedule A and below.

Each purchase of the minimum quantity and type of licenses from a specified Product Group made by the Qualified Organization during the Purchase Period will count as one (1) Product Group purchase ("Qualifying Product Group Purchase").

The total number of Qualifying Product Group Purchases will determine the partner subsidy dollar per license that the Qualified Organization will receive as set forth below and in Schedule A:

• "Single (1)" — A Qualifying Product Group Purchase from 1 Product Group
• "Two (2)" — A Qualifying Product Group Purchase from 2 Product Groups
• "Three (3)" — A Qualifying Product Group Purchase from 3 Product Groups
• "Four (4)" — A Qualifying Product Group Purchase from 4 Product Groups
• "Five (5)" — A Qualifying Product Group Purchase from 5 Product Groups
• "Six Plus (6+)" — A Qualifying Product Group Purchase from 6 plus Product Groups

Within each Product Group the Total Partner Subsidy Dollars Amount Earned is calculated by matching the specific license purchased with the specific License Program & Offering and the Qualifying Product Group Purchase column and multiplying by the quantity of licenses purchased.

The partner subsidy dollars available are capped by the Maximum Qualifying License Quantity Per Product Group.  The Eligible License purchases that earn the higher partner subsidy dollar amount per license will be paid out first, until the Maximum Qualifying Licenses Quantity Per Product Group is reached, at which point any licenses purchased above the maximum quantity will not earn partner subsidy dollars.

If a Qualified Organization has previously received partner subsidy dollars under this promotion within the appropriate time frame and was paid the corresponding partner subsidy dollars at that time, the Qualified Organization may still be eligible to receive additional partner subsidy dollars provided it has not reached the Maximum Qualifying Licenses Quantity Per Product Group.  The amount of the partner subsidy dollars earned by virtue of additional purchases will be calculated and the initial partner subsidy dollars payment will be subtracted to determine the net additional partner subsidy dollars, if any, to be paid out. In no case will the Qualified Organization be paid more for multiple redemptions than the calculated payout would have been if the Customer had redeemed only once during the Purchase Time Period.

License Exclusions

Partner subsidy dollars are not earned or available for purchases of the following licenses:

• Enterprise Agreement and Enterprise Subscription Agreement Program Licenses
• Select Program Licenses
• Open Volume Program Licenses
• Any Software Assurance ("SA") only purchase; except Open Value Software Assurance if purchased with an OEM License as described under "Eligible Licenses". Software Assurance must be purchased within ninety days of the L purchase.

• Software acquired through charity pricing, TechNet or MSDN® Subscriptions

Partner Subsidy Dollars Utilization

Partner subsidy dollars received as part of this promotion must be used to pay for purchases of services or products from a partner who is a member of the Microsoft Partner Program and who is selected by the Qualified Organization ("Selected Partner"). Partners can be selected at: http://www.microsoftincentives.com/BigEasy

Partner Subsidy Dollars Utilization Exclusions

Each partner subsidy dollars check will expire within ninety (90) days of its issue date. Partner subsidy dollars are NOT to be given to a partner as a credit (i.e. on account) to pay for future services that begin after the ninety (90) day expiration date of the check; the partner must begin services before the ninety (90) day expiration date.

Qualified Organizations may not receive a cash payout from the Selected Partner for any portion of the partner subsidy dollars amount.

Microsoft reserves the right to request proof of services (e.g. partner statement of work and/or invoice) or products purchased by Qualified Organizations to verify completion of appropriate services or products sold by their Selected Partner.  Microsoft also has the right to contact the Selected Partner to verify the services or products sold.

Partner Subsidy Dollars Payment Information

A partner subsidy dollars check will be sent to the Qualified Organization within eight weeks of the registration date.  The partner subsidy dollars check will be payable to the Selected Partner. The Qualified Organization will deliver the check to the Selected Partner upon (1) completion of the Selected Partner services, and/or (2) purchase of products from the Selected Partner.

The receipt of benefits is contingent upon Microsoft’s verification that all of the criteria in these terms and conditions have been met.

Returns

If partner subsidy dollars are paid based upon the purchase of licenses by the Qualified Organizations that are subsequently returned, the Qualified Organization must reimburse Microsoft for the partner subsidy dollars paid based upon the purchase of those returned licenses.
