MORE INFORMATION
================

In the United States and Canada, if you have questions about a cash-back rebate
offer, do one of the following:

 - See the Online Microsoft Consumer Rebate Center at the following Microsoft
   Web site:

   http://www.microsoft.com/insider/rebates/

 - Call the appropriate Microsoft Rebate Center for the product in question
   (8:00 a.m. until 7:30p.m. EST, except weekends and holidays). No rebates will
   be authorized over the phone.

Please allow six to eight weeks for delivery of your rebate.

Offer valid only in the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, all U.S.
military bases that contain valid APO/FPO addresses, and Canada. Offer not valid
in U.S. Territories, including Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, or Guam. Offer
void where prohibited, taxed, or restricted by law. Only original coupons will
be accepted.

Contact the Rebate Center for any of the following issues or concerns:

 - Your rebate coupon is missing. Note that rebate information is included
   either inside the product box or on a sticker on the outside of the box.

 - The rebate information is incomplete or incorrect. For example, the rebate
   address is missing from the coupon. Please note that some coupons have two
   portions, and the information that you need may be on the second portion.

 - You never received the rebate. Note that only one rebate is allowed per
   household per product (unless otherwise stated). If you purchase multiple
   copies of the same product, you will receive only one rebate for that
   purchase.

 - You want to check on the status of your rebate. Please remember to allow six
   to eight weeks for delivery of your rebate check.

Microsoft will not share the information that you provide with third parties
without your permission, except where necessary to complete the services or
transactions you requested, or as required by law.
