Thank you for choosing Insight as your trusted Cloud Care provider. This Microsoft Cloud Care Client Agreement (the “Agreement”) sets out the terms and conditions which apply to the sale by Insight (also referred to as “We”) of certain Microsoft Products to the Client (also referred to as “You”). Capitalized terms which are not defined in the text can be found in the last section of this Agreement.
This Agreement takes effect on the date when You receive access to the Products (Your “Effective Date”).
Depending on how You complete Your purchase with Us, all You need to do to accept this Agreement is to (i) click the appropriate box during Your purchase of the Microsoft Products, or (ii) place an order for, receive access to, or begin using the Products. If You are an individual accepting these terms on behalf of an entity, Your acceptance of this Agreement indicates that: (x) You have the legal authority to enter into this Agreement on that entity’s behalf, (y) You have read and understand the terms of this Agreement and (z) You agree, on behalf of the entity that You represent, to the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement consists of the following terms and conditions, but also includes any referenced and/or incorporated attachments, schedules and exhibits together with applicable purchase orders. All of these documents together form full agreement between You and Insight.
YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, THIS AGREEMENT FORMS THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE PARTIES AND REPLACES AND SUPERSEDES ANY PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF ANY EXISTING SUBSCRIPTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ORDERED FROM INSIGHT.
You are purchasing the Microsoft Products and Cloud Care from Insight. When We talk about Insight in this Agreement, here’s what We mean.
If You are procuring Products in the United States, Your Agreement is with Insight Direct USA, Inc.
If You are procuring Products in Canada, Your Agreement is with Insight Canada, Inc.
If You are procuring Products in Europe or in APAC, Your Agreement is with the Insight entity identified on the website where the Products are purchased or otherwise as notified by Insight.
Insight is authorised to participate in the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider Program and provide certain Products to Client. By accepting this Agreement, You also accept and will comply with the Microsoft Customer Agreement. The current version of the Microsoft Customer Agreement (the “MCA”) is available at https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/docs/customeragreement, and by its terms, Microsoft may make changes to the MCA from time to time.
Insight is also authorised to participate in the Microsoft Commercial Marketplace and provide certain third-party Offers to Client. Insight makes these offerings available to You subject to the respective program rules, terms and conditions imposed by the developers and publishers of those offerings, including the Vendor Terms and not this Agreement (except as set forth herein). However, regardless of how You purchase Offers on the Marketplace, Insight will still serve as Your billing agent, and You will pay Insight as invoiced for Your Marketplace purchases in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, the following terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to any Marketplace purchases: Sections IX (Financial Terms for All products) and XIV (Warranty and Indemnity Obligations). Insight reserves the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee for any Marketplace purchase made directly with a third-party developer or publisher (also called an Independent Software Vendor, or “ISV”). For the avoidance of doubt, third-party Offers are not eligible for Insight Cloud Care (as defined below).
You are authorised to use the Products in the applicable Territory in accordance with the MCA. Microsoft may provide Products that are identified as academic, charity or government. These Products may only be provided to Clients that meet Microsoft’s qualification criteria.
Microsoft may modify a Product or release a new version of a Product at any time and for any reason including, but not limited to, to address customer needs or otherwise address competitive demands, to respond to a government regulation, order, or law, or to advance innovation in its Product offerings. Such Product Changes may include changes to Microsoft’s program terms, which in turn may require changes to this Agreement. Insight may modify this Agreement, including pricing, due to any such changes made by Microsoft.
The terms and conditions governing the Product(s) You purchase will depend on the nature of the Product. These terms are determined by Microsoft and are maintained at https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/terms/product/UniversalLicenseTerms/MCA. We have provided these Product Terms for Your convenience, but as these terms are subject to change, You are responsible for periodically reviewing the Microsoft terms applicable to Your Products. You are responsible for complying with Microsoft’s terms and any consequences of Your non-compliance, regardless of whether Microsoft actively or directly enforces its terms. In the event of a conflict between Microsoft’s Product or program terms and the terms in this Agreement, Microsoft’s terms will govern.
| Fixed Term Products | Perpetual Products | Consumption-Based Products (e.g., Azure*) | |
| Billing Terms | Client has choice of being billed monthly, annually (for a fixed term length of 12 or 36 months), or in full for the fixed term (of 12 or 36 months) | Client pays upfront for an open-ended and perpetual term. | Consumption pricing is the Standard Rate plus Client’s actual Product usage or consumption. Client’s usage of consumption-based Products will be automatically generated monthly based on usage information received from Microsoft, which is presumed to be correct. Insight will invoice Client monthly for Client’s actual usage during the preceding month. |
| Price Changes | Unit price does not change during fixed term; mid-term adjustments (i.e. adding seats) are calculated and post-billed at the subsequent invoice. Mid-term reductions in seats is not permitted. | Not applicable. | Pricing is subject to change and will increase if Client alters Insight’s ability to assist the Client in management of their consumption-based Subscriptions, including, but not limited to, the removal of delegated administrator rights (such as the Foreign Principal Group, access to which is delegated to Insight by default). |
| Cancellation | Cancellation with pro-rata refund accepted within 7 days from time of order (full credit for cancellation within 24 hours; cancellation on days 2 through 7 is prorated); no refund in any other circumstances. Early Termination Charge applies for all cancellations prior to fixed term expiration. With regard to Server Subscriptions, no refunds will be granted once the Server Subscriptions are provisioned and in use. | Client receives a full refund for cancellations within thirty (30) days from the order date, subject to Microsoft’s program requirements and/or approval, and upon which date all license keys are deactivated. No cancellation is permitted after thirty (30) days. Partial cancellations are not accepted. | Consumption-based Products can be cancelled at any time (subject to the Transfer Fee, as applicable) and any usage before cancellation will be billed at the next scheduled invoice date. Upon cancellation, Client will have thirty (30) days to migrate any Client Data to either a new Subscription with Insight, with Microsoft directly, or some other service. The Client shall be responsible for any migration process including any associated costs. For the avoidance of doubt, Azure reservations and Azure savings plans may only be cancelled in accordance with Microsoft program requirements. |
| Renewal | Autorenewal on all Subscriptions unless Client disables autorenewal in the Portal. Each Renewal Term is for a period equal to the prior term. Renewal pricing will be based on the then-current terms of sale and pricing at the time of renewal. If Client disables autorenewal, affected Subscriptions will terminate at the expiration of the fixed term unless renewed in advance by the Client in the Portal. INSIGHT HAS NO LIABILITY TO CLIENT FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM CLIENT’S DISABLING OF, OR FAILURE TO DISABLE, AUTO-RENEWAL IN THE MICROSOFT PORTAL, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST OR UNRETRIEVABLE DATA. | Not applicable. | Term will automatically renew, but billing will continue to be based on Client’s consumption. |
Client may not transfer to another CSP provider or licensing agreement type for its convenience during any Term except as permitted by Insight. If Insight grants Client’s request to make such a transfer, Client agrees that Client shall be responsible for and pay the Transfer Fee.
Fees.
Invoicing.
Charges for the Products will accrue on the date when, depending on the nature of the Products, the Products are activated or made available by Microsoft to Client. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Fees are non-refundable. Insight will invoice Client the Fees in accordance with this Agreement.
Payment Terms.
Unless otherwise agreed between Insight and Client (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes existing payment terms Client already has with Insight), Client must pay all undisputed invoices in full within 30 days of the invoice date. All payment terms are measured from the date of invoice and are payable in the currency specified on the invoice. If an invoice is the subject of a bona fide dispute, Client shall notify Insight in writing, including a description of the nature of such dispute in sufficient detail, within such 30-day period. Failure to comply with the requirements of this provision shall preclude the Client's right to dispute such invoice. All payments must reference the invoice number. Insight reserves the right to charge interest of 1.5% per month or the maximum allowable by applicable law, whichever is less, for any undisputed past due Fees. Client is responsible for all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees, for any payment default on undisputed Fees. In addition, Insight may hold all pending orders, suspend further shipments, or delay Client’s access to Products under any agreement between Client and Insight without liability thereunder until Insight receives all payments due under this Agreement. If Insight chooses to take any of these actions, it does not waive any other right or remedy it may possess. Client may not withhold payment or take deductions from any invoice amount (by offset, counterclaim, or otherwise) before Insight issues a credit. This includes returns, rebates, price adjustments, billing errors, shipping claims, handling fees, allowances, remittance costs and other charges.
Taxes.
All amounts the Client must pay under this Agreement do not include any taxes. Client must pay taxes imposed on or with respect to its activities in connection with this Agreement, if any, and Insight and or Microsoft will have no responsibility for the payments. Client must pay or reimburse Insight for all taxes which are permitted to be collected by Insight under applicable law. Client may provide a valid exemption certificate in which case Client will not be charged the taxes covered by such certificate, and further Insight and or Microsoft will be under no obligation to apply credits for any periods for which Client had not timely submitted a valid exemption certificate. If Client is located in a jurisdiction that utilizes the VAT numbers for tax identification purpose, it will provide Insight with its VAT number together with its address details.
If income taxes are required to be withheld by any government on payments to Microsoft or Insight, Client may deduct such taxes from the amount owed and pay them to the appropriate taxing authority; provided however, that Client promptly secures and delivers an official receipt for those withholdings and other documents reasonably requested to claim a foreign tax credit or refund. Client will ensure that any taxes withheld are minimized to the extent possible under applicable law. Client remains obligated to pay Insight for the amount of tax withheld until Client provides to Insight the official receipt and other documents reasonably requested.
The withholding taxes referred to in this section apply to withholding taxes required by the taxing authorities on payments to Insight only and do not include any withholding taxes suffered by Client for payments made to Client by its customers. Those withholding taxes will be Client’s financial responsibility.
This “Taxes” section shall govern the treatment of all taxes arising as a result of or in connection with this Agreement notwithstanding any other section or any other document included in this Agreement.
Product Credits.
In the event that a credit for the Products is due to Client in accordance with the Vendor Terms, the parties agree that any credit due will be credited by Insight to Client’s account within a reasonable time after Insight’s receipt the corresponding credit amount from Microsoft following Microsoft’s verification of Client's claim. Client expressly acknowledges and agrees that Insight is not obligated to provide any Product credit if Microsoft is unable to verify, or otherwise rejects, Client’s claim for any reason or if Microsoft fails to provide the Products credit for any reason even if it has verified Client’s claim. ANY CREDITS OR TERMINATION RIGHTS DESCRIBED UNDER MICROSOFT’S SLAs SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF CLIENT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY UNAVAILABILITY OF THE PRODUCTS OR BREACH OF SUCH SLAs.
Insight’s support offering is Cloud Care. Insight will provide the Client with support for the term of this Agreement in accordance with Exhibit C below (excluding EMEA Clients with legacy Cloud Care Lite, Cloud Care Essentials or Cloud Care Advanced offerings, where Insight shall provide Clients with the applicable Service Description until the next anniversary date of the Client’s Cloud Care Agreement, at which point Exhibit C shall apply upon renewal). Insight’s technical support and the Client’s requests for support shall be in the English language only. The Client shall also provide support for data integration tools and processes developed or maintained by the Client in order to connect the Products to the Client's other software and databases.

Azure Plan
PROVISIONING AND USE OF AZURE. Insight performs the initial tenant set-up for Client, including adding Client’s subscription and configuring Client’s owner rights. Once a subscription has been created for Client, Cloud Services may be enabled and consumed by Client via the Microsoft Azure Services Portal. Use, reporting and invoicing of Cloud Services are based on a consumption or actual use model, as further described below. Client will be invoiced for Cloud Services consumed in accordance with usage reports provided by Microsoft.
TERM/TERMINATION. Cloud Services start once provisioned by Insight on Client’s behalf. Client can cancel the Cloud Services at any time by providing written notice. If Client terminates its use of Cloud Services, Client will remain responsible to Insight for the prior month’s consumption and all accrued charges for such Cloud Services which will be billed in the next scheduled invoice.
FEES AND INVOICING. Cloud Services will be invoiced monthly in arrears on an actual use basis (i.e. “pay-as-you-go”) as measured and reported to Insight by Microsoft. For any extension of a subscription term or the provisioning of a Cloud Service upgrade, the then-current price will apply, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by Insight and Client. Insight may change the fees it charges all clients for Cloud Services due to changes in Microsoft’s pricing and changes to its channel partner programs.
