If you acquired the software in any other country, its laws apply, except that the FAA governs everything related to arbitration.

Separate and apart from your relationship with Microsoft, you may also have rights with respect to the party from which you acquired the software. This agreement does not change those other rights if the laws of your state, province, or country do not permit it to do so.
