DEFINITIONS
Certain words and phrases we use in these Terms have a particular meaning:
- Words like “you”, “your” and “yours” mean you, the person accessing and using Copilot.
- Words like “we”, “us”, and “our” means Microsoft, the company that offers Copilot, as well as the related companies we own or control and the companies and people that work on our behalf.
- A “Prompt” is the content – text, audio, images, files, voice, or video – that you send to or share with Copilot.
- A “Response” is the content that Copilot sends to or shares with you. Some Responses might include “Creations” – original content or works of art that Copilot creates in response to your Prompts.
- “Your Content” means the Prompts and Responses that are part of your conversations with Copilot, but it doesn’t include any content we separately own.
- “Tasks” refers to the automated set of actions that Copilot takes on your behalf at your request.
- “Services” is defined in the Microsoft Services Agreement. Copilot is a Service under that Agreement.
WHO CAN USE COPILOT
To use Copilot you must have a Microsoft Account, and you need to be old enough at least 13, but sometimes older, depending on your country’s laws. Because laws vary by country, Copilot isn’t available everywhere.
If you’re under 18, we might turn off or limit some features for legal or safety reasons. If we ask for your birthday and country when you sign up or log in, you must give us your real information.
Don’t use tools or computer programs (like bots or scrapers) to access Copilot. You can only use Copilot for your own personal use.
