Notwithstanding the foregoing, the section titled Data access and use does not apply to Copilot or other generative AI features enabled within Microsoft Fabric.
Azure Modeling and Simulation Workbench Preview
These supplemental terms for the Azure Modeling and Simulation Workbench Preview (the “Workbench Preview”) apply to the Workbench Preview subscriber (“Customer”) and their Authorized Users (defined below). Workbench Preview provides Customer the ability to generate one or more secure virtual workspaces for collaboration (each a “Chamber”). For each Chamber, Customer may approve Users from inside and outside their organization to access Customer Data in that Chamber (“Authorized User”). “Customer Data” is defined in Customer or Authorized User’s applicable agreement governing their use of Azure and, for purposes of these Preview terms, includes all items in such definition whether provided by Customers or Authorized Users.
- Customer – not Microsoft – is solely responsible for: (1) selecting Authorized Users, (2) assigning Chambers for Authorized Users, (3) identifying the roles of Authorized Users (i.e., “Administrative Authorized User” or “General Authorized User”), and (4) identifying the appropriate connectivity requirements.
- Customer acknowledges that Authorized Users may access, analyze, contribute to, and modify all Customer Data in the Authorized User’s assigned Chambers. Removal of any Customer Data from a Chamber must be requested by the Administrative Authorized User for that Chamber and approved by the Customer.
- Customer and their Authorized Users are solely responsible for the content and use of the Customer Data they place or modify in a Chamber. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer and Authorized Users will secure and maintain all rights in Customer Data necessary for Microsoft to provide Workbench Preview without violating the rights of any third party or otherwise imposing any additional obligation on Microsoft.
- Customer is responsible for all Azure and Workbench Preview usage charges generated by Authorized Users in the Chambers generated by Customer – Microsoft does not apportion charges or separately bill Authorized Users.
- As a Preview, Workbench Preview may have bugs or otherwise fail to act as intended and, as further set forth in the applicable agreement governing use of Azure, is provided “as is” with all express and implied warranties disclaimed. Accordingly, Workbench Preview is provided for evaluation and testing purposes and is not intended for production use. In addition, with respect to Workbench Preview deployments in the Microsoft Government Community Cloud (GCC), all base security accreditations typically associated with Microsoft GCC offerings are disclaimed entirely, including all DoD Impact Level and FEDRAMP accreditations and related compliance attestations.
- Microsoft does not license commercial engineering software (e.g., electronic design automation “EDA” software) with Workbench Preview. At some point during its public preview, Workbench Preview may enable Customers and their Authorized Users to license from third party providers (each a “Provider”) such commercial engineering software and other tools and assets for use in a Chamber (“Provider Solutions”). All Provider Solutions are provided by the Provider – not Microsoft – under the Providers’ own terms of service and privacy policies. Microsoft is not a party to such additional terms of service and privacy policies. Customers are responsible for any fees charged by Providers to use their Provider Solutions and any breach of Providers’ terms of service by Customer or their Authorized Users.

Safety Evaluations
AI-assisted safety evaluations can generate and receive harmful and adversarial content to enable customers to test applications for content risks. Transmitting harmful content to this feature through Azure AI Studio or the SDK will not by itself be considered a violation of the Acceptable Use Policy, if the application being tested has not been designed to generate harmful content. The Acceptable Use Policy otherwise applies. Customer agrees to use content generated by this feature solely for testing and evaluating applications and not to use such content for any other purpose.
Azure OpenAI Service (preview features)
User-Level Abuse Reporting
