Clarification on Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Agreement & Marketplace Publisher Agreement
Helllo there,
We have to clarify two pieces:
- Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program Agreement: Section 8 Limitations of Liability (b) it says Privacy and Data Protection, Confidentiality and Publicity and indemnification are carved out of any limitations in paragraph 8.(a).
Can you please confirm our understanding that Microsoft is asking the Company to have the risk of unlimited liability related to these carve-outs ?
- Microsoft Publisher Agreement: Section 9 (b) has indemnification claims subject to indirect damages and Section 9 (c) have carve-outs for confidentiality, privacy or data protection which we interpret as having the risk of unlimited liability.
Can you please confirm our understanding that Microsoft is asking the Company to have the risk of unlimited liability related to these carve-outs ?

I recommend working within your own legal teams to confirm this
This is not an area that I am familiar with and I haven't been able to find a team to confirm, but from what I read, I would think yes, the language in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program Agreement, specifically in Section 8(b), indicates that Microsoft is asking the company to take on the risk of unlimited liability for certain carve-outs.
That is all I have to share on this string. Best of luck all!
