"2. Promotion Overview
The goal of the Promotion is for Microsoft to learn about and understand customer search behavior in an effort to improve the Microsoft search experience. Section 4 describes the data collected by Microsoft and Microsoft’s use of that data. In exchange for and following your participation in the Promotion until its conclusion, Microsoft will provide you with tickets that you may redeem for prizes described on the redemption center, available at the Live Search Club,
http://club.live.com, subject to the offer details available at
http://club.live.com/TermsAndConditions.aspx. Unless stated otherwise, tickets will consist of one ticket for each online Search you do within Internet Explorer web browser, version 6.0 or higher, on Microsoft’s Windows Live, MSN or Live Search properties, excluding Searches within the Live Search Club and the Live Search Club toolbar, located at
http://club.live.com, Search and Give and any Search and Give toolbars, located at
www.searchandgive.com; and MSN Video site searches located at
http://video.msn.com/video.aspx, up to a maximum of 25 tickets per day during the Promotion. During the Promotion there may be opportunities to receive additional tickets. Tickets will not be provided for Searches that are not conducted on the three properties and web browser identified above. A “Search” is the act of an individual user manually entering text for the good faith purpose of obtaining results for such user’s own research purpose, as determined by Microsoft. A Search does not include any query entered by a bot, macro or other automated or fraudulent means of any kind. Microsoft will determine what constitutes a Search and may limit the tickets earned for activities such as the repeated entry of the same search query term. If you leave the Promotion prior to its conclusion, you will not receive any of the tickets. Tickets are provided “as is” with no warranty or guarantee, either express or implied, by Microsoft. You cannot transfer tickets (except as otherwise provided in the Live Search Club Terms and Conditions). You may not obtain any cash or money in exchange for tickets. Tickets are not your personal property. Tickets that are undeliverable will not be resent and are forfeited. Claiming and redemption of the tickets is subject to additional terms and conditions available at
http://club.live.com/TermsAndConditions.aspx. This Promotion constitutes an “Activity” under those terms and conditions. We encourage you to redeem your tickets promptly. Microsoft may change the prizes that are available and the number of tickets you must earn to receive a certain prize, at any time during the Promotion. You must claim your tickets no later than October 15, 2009. Once tickets are claimed they are subject to expiration pursuant to the additional terms and conditions available at
http://club.live.com/TermsAndConditions.aspx. "
