This provision creates account-specific licensing arrangements that condition access to digital purchases on continued account availability. The operational effect is that digital content does not transfer between accounts or survive account closure or termination.
Users acquire non-exclusive, non-transferable licenses to digital content tied to their individual Microsoft account. Account closure or termination results in loss of access to previously purchased digital content under the terms as written.
