6-Month Plan (Storage)
This offer provides storage capacity at a significantly discounted monthly price. The offer is valid for a six month term and can be renewed for additional six month terms at the price in effect at time of renewal. Customers may purchase multiple Base Units to match their development needs.

| 1 - 50 TB / month | $112.64/TB | $0.11/GB |
| 51 - 500 TB / month | $98.304/TB | $0.096/GB |
| 501 - 1,000 TB / month | $95.232/TB | $0.093/GB |

Subscription term: 6 months
During the six month term of this subscription, you may increase the number of Base Units you purchase at any time. Any increase in Base Units will be effective as of the next billing cycle. Base Units may only be decreased at time of renewal.
Any unused portion of a Base Unit will not be refunded or carried over to the next billing cycle. The amount of service included in each Base Unit will not change during the term of your subscription.
Monthly usage exceeding the amount included in the Base Units purchased will be charged at Pay-As-You-Go rates.
You will be notified at least 30 days in advance of any changes to the Pay-As-You-Go rates.
New services may be added periodically to the Azure platform. We will notify you in advance of these new services and any fees that might be charged for using them. However, you would only be charged if you elect to use the new services.
Any taxes which may result from receiving services at no charge are the sole responsibility of the recipient.
Payment Options
Customers may pay by credit card, debit card or invoice. Invoice requires an initial monthly base commitment exceeding $500 per month for customers in the United States and $250 per month elsewhere. Customers choosing to pay by invoice may have their service activation delayed pending credit verification.
More details on pricing and billing can be found on our Pricing page.
Cancellation Policy
You may cancel without penalty during the first 30 days of each subscription term. You are still responsible to pay for the base commitment and any overage for that first month. Cancelations after the first 30 days of a subscription term require full payment of the base commitment for the remaining months of the subscription and any overage incurred.
Renewal Policy
After your initial six month subscription term, you will have the option to renew your subscription at whatever renewal rate we have at that time, which is currently the Base Unit Pricing indicated in this offer. You may change the amount of your base commitment at time of renewal but you must commit to at least one Base Unit in order to renew.
Your subscription will by default be automatically set to renew. You will be notified via e-mail when your term is about to renew. You do have the ability to opt out of auto renew at any time.

Limits, Quotas and Constraints
Please refer to this document for a list of common Microsoft Azure limits, quotas and constraints.
The following monthly usage quotas are applied. If you need more than these limits, please contact customer service at any time so that we can understand your needs and adjust these limits appropriately.
Service-level agreements
We offer a set of robust service level agreements for each of the Azure platform services. More details on each of our SLAs can be found on our SLA page. Service level agreements are not provided for services during preview.
Resource Commitment
Microsoft will provide services to you up to at least the level of the associated usage included in the base units you purchased (the Service Commitment), but all other increases in usage levels of service resources (e.g. adding to the number of compute instances running, or increasing the amount of storage in use) are subject to the availability of these service resources.
Any quota described in the Usage Quotas section is not a Service Commitment. For purposes of determining the number of simultaneous small compute instances(or their equivalent) that Microsoft will provide as part of a Service Commitment, this is determined by dividing the number of committed small compute instance hours purchased in a month by the number of hours in the shortest month of the year (i.e., February – 672 hours).
