Service Agreement

Your use of the Azure service is governed by the terms and conditions of the agreement under which you obtained the services.

For customers who purchase or renew a subscription (including free trials) online from Microsoft, your use is governed by either the Microsoft Customer Agreement ("MCA"), or the Microsoft Online Subscription Agreement ("MOSA"). Your use is governed by the latter if the MCA is not available in your geography. Visit the MCA page for availability details.

• For customers who purchase through another Microsoft Commercial Licensing Program, such as an Enterprise Agreement, your use is governed by the licensing agreement under which you purchased the services. You can obtain a copy of your licensing agreement by contacting your Microsoft account representative or Commercial Licensing.
• If you do not have an Azure subscription, the Microsoft Terms of Use will govern your use of the limited Azure services which can be used without a subscription.

If you are uncertain or have other questions, please contact Microsoft Azure support.
