The Xbox One XDK is not available publicly and is considered highly confidential. You must protect the Xbox One XDK from public disclosure in accordance with the following terms. By ordering, downloading, accessing or using any Xbox One XDK hardware, software and/or related documentation made available to you and your employer through the Xbox One Xbox Game Developer Portal Website (this website), you and your employer agree that these terms are part of the Xbox One Development Kit License Agreement (“Agreement”) between Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) or its affiliates and you or your employer (“Licensee”):

As used below depending on the context, “you” means you as an employee of the Licensee, the Licensee, Licensee’s other employees directly involved in and necessary to Xbox One Software Title development, and any Licensee Subcontractors expressly approved by Microsoft.

1. Physical Access
   You must unpack, use, and store the Xbox One dev kit in a secure location that can be accessed only by those authorized to do so. A secure location must:
   
   • Have locked entry doors, with only persons authorized to access the Xbox One XDK able to gain entry; and
     
   • Always be screened from view by the public as well as against those unauthorized to access the Xbox One XDK.
     
2. User Access
   You must restrict access to the Xbox One XDK to persons with a business need, and with confidentiality obligations to Licensee. Prior to granting access to the Xbox One XDK, in order to reinforce your confidentiality obligations and the high confidentiality of the Xbox One XDK, you must deliver a confidentiality briefing describing these Security Requirements and provide a written copy of these requirements to each person requesting access.
   
3. Security and Return of Xbox One XDK.
   You are required to designate a Licensee employee (“Asset Custodian”) who will be responsible for maintaining the security of the Xbox One XDKs while in your possession, as well as returning them to Microsoft at its request. In order for Microsoft to verify your ongoing possession and control of all Xbox One XDKs provided to you, Microsoft has affixed a unique Quick Response (“QR”) code label to the exterior of the Xbox One XDK. A QR code is a two dimensional bar code label that is designed for easy scanning using the camera contained in a Windows, iOS or Android-based mobile phone device. The Asset Custodian will be required to verify your possession and control of the Xbox One XDKs provided to you by scanning the QR code labels at Microsoft’s request using a QR code reader application (available for free on all mobile phone device platforms). By scanning the QR code labels, you will be providing asset identification and location information to Microsoft that will be securely stored in a cloud-based service. The Asset Custodian will be able to logon to this service to see this information using a mobile device or web browser via credentials that will be provided to you by Microsoft. You will receive additional guidance from Microsoft on how to scan the Xbox One XDK’s QR code labels. Questions on scanning may be sent to THELP@microsoft.com. You understand and agree that certain information may be collected and provided to Microsoft in connection periodic QR code scanning of the Xbox One XDK. Such information (including the name of the Asset Custodian, Xbox console ID, IP address and hardware location information) will only be used by Microsoft for security and asset management purposes.
   
4. Confidentiality
   You must not discuss the Xbox One XDK with members of your organization except as necessary to conduct business. You must not discuss the Xbox One XDK with members of your household—including family members and friends. You must not disclose any information concerning the Xbox One XDK on public Internet websites, such as blogs, newsgroups, or forums. All media inquiries concerning the Xbox One XDK should be directed to Microsoft.
   
5. Breach of Confidentiality
   If breach of confidentiality occurs, Microsoft will take appropriate action, which may include: (a) revocation of access to Xbox One XDK; (b) termination of the Agreement and your relationship with Microsoft; and (c) criminal prosecution.
   
6. Audit
   Microsoft may elect, at any time, to conduct an audit of these security requirements. Violations of these security requirements may constitute a material breach of the Agreement.
