# What happens if I cancel my Microsoft subscription?

Microsoft subscriptions can be canceled by placing a termination order. The cancellation policy depends on the type of CSP product or service.

#### For Microsoft Azure

You can place a termination order for an individual subscription or an entire agreement containing multiple subscriptions. Azure usage is billed in arrears, meaning charges are based on usage from the previous month.

#### For all other Microsoft products

For all other Microsoft products, such as Microsoft Dynamics, Microsoft 365, and software subscriptions):

* **Cancellation within 7 days of purchase or renewal** – If a termination order is submitted within 7 days of the subscription purchase or renewal, the subscription is canceled in Microsoft systems and terminated in Marketplace. A prorated refund may apply as per the [New Commerce Experience Cancellation Policy](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/customers/new-commerce-cancellation-policy).
* **Cancellation outside the 7-day window** – Termination orders cannot be placed for NCE subscriptions after the 7-day window. Any termination orders outside this window will automatically fail, and the subscription will remain active until the end of its commitment term. If the subscription is no longer required, disable automatic renewal to prevent it from renewing at the end of the commitment term.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/extensions/microsoft-cloud-solution-provider/additional-resources/faqs/what-happens-if-i-cancel-my-microsoft-subscription.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
