7 EXHIBIT 1 Windows Logo License Agreement Version July 2017 Logos The Windows Logo can only be used on devices that actually run a specific edition of Windows (e.g. Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Mobile). Devices that want to claim compatibility with Windows should do so using a feature badge as laid out below or in text. The Windows Symbol or Logo should not be used to claim compatibility in any other way than through a hearo feature badge as provided by Microsoft. The Windows Logo is the emblem of our registered brand and should only be used when meeting the criteria outlined in Exhibit 2. Our Logo includes our symbol and logotype, designed to work together in a horizontal lockup. Logos provided without trademark symbols ( and ) should be used in marketing materials only. Trademark symbols are still required in certain places in and on product, and on product packaging. Find our more trademark guidelines here: The Logotype can either be the trademarked name Windows or this name accompanied by the 10 of the latest version of the product. When referring to previous versions of Windows (like Windows 7 or Windows 8.1), use the current Windows logo and refer to the specific version in text only. Do not add 7 or 8 to the Windows logo. Do not use the old logos of previous versions.

8 The names Windows or Windows 10 should always and only be referred to in the Latin alphabet, whether used within or separately from the Windows Logo. The same principles should be applied to the use of this name as what is applied to the Logos. Our symbol is a window. We only use the symbol on its own to refer to the Start Menu (e.g. on a keyboard or controller), not the Windows brand. Exceptions can be made for some small space executions such as tech specs lists. All other implementations need to be reviewed and approved by Microsoft. The Logos are only available in 3 colors: white, blue and black. Black should only be used in greyscale or black and white executions. Blue should be used on white and light background. White should be used on dark or colored backgrounds. For accessibility reasons, all Microsoft assets should always allow for a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1. The Windows Logos are provided in 3 different sizes: S, M and D. Make sure to use the right size of the Logo according to the size of your execution and the size of the Logo within your execution. The main objective here is to make sure that the cross within the Windows symbol appears in the best way possible. When using the Logo, always respect the clear space policy around the Logo, using the symbol as reference. Very often, reducing the size of the logo can help respect the clear space policy. As a rule of thumb (not a strict rule), you can calculate the height of the Logo as 2.5% of the height+width of your layout. The Windows Logos should also never be shown smaller than this minimum size: When co-branding, make sure to respect the good relationship between the Windows Logo and the Licensee logo. When the Windows Logo is used next to other 3rd-party partner logos (e.g. Intel, Nvidia), the height of the Windows Logo should be of the same height than the other partner logos.

9 And respect the clear space policy as follows: The Windows symbol is also used as part of the GML (Genuine Microsoft Label) and the compatibility badges. The GML should only be used according to the GML policies. Find more information about GML on The GML should be placed in a non-visible area of the device (e.g. on the bottom of a laptop). Please refer to Program Execution Guide for specific placement information for the GML. The Windows logo should never be printed permanently on a device except when expressively authorized by Microsoft and/or in a way that has been provided and approved by Microsoft (e.g. The GML or license key stickers). Feature compatibility badges can only be used as a compatibility badge on devices, peripheral* packaging and manufacturer's product webpage. It requires compliance with technical eligibility requirements as detailed in Exhibit 2. These should not be used in marketing materials and must be placed on front or side of packaging. Here is an example of a feature compatibility badge: *For Windows Hello peripherals, in addition to passing the technical compliance as detailed in Exhibit 2 the product must be validated by Microsoft qualification lab before using the artwork in the peripheral packaging. As per our official communication of May 16, 2017, the Windows Compatible badge has been retired. Licensees and Partners need to claim their compatibility with Windows as per the guidelines within that communication:
