By Microsoft Clause Samples
The "By Microsoft" clause typically identifies actions, obligations, or rights that are specifically assigned to Microsoft within an agreement. In practice, this clause clarifies which responsibilities—such as providing services, support, or making certain decisions—are to be performed by Microsoft rather than another party. Its core function is to ensure clarity regarding which party is accountable for particular aspects of the contract, thereby reducing ambiguity and potential disputes over roles and responsibilities.
