We offer eligible customers $200 in Azure credits (âÃÂÃÂCreditsâÃÂÃÂ) to be used within the first 30 days of sign-up and 12 months of select free services (services subject to change). This offer is limited to one Azure Free Account per eligible customer and cannot be combined with any other offer unless otherwise permitted by Microsoft
## Upgrades and spending limits
With the Azure Free Account, eligible customers receive $200 of credits which can be used within the first 30 days on most Azure services. Any unused monthly credits cannot be carried over to subsequent months and cannot be transferred to other Azure subscriptions
Within 30 days of sign-up or upon exhaustion of the Credits (whichever occurs first), you must upgrade to a Pay-As-You-Go subscription by removing the Spending Limit. This allows continued use of the Azure Free Account and select free services for the term
## Exclusions
Azure credits may not be used to purchase Azure support plans, Azure DevOps, Visual Studio subscriptions, Visual Studio App Centre services, Azure ExpressRoute, third-party branded products, products sold through Azure Marketplace, or products otherwise licensed separately from Azure (for example, Microsoft Azure Active Directory Premium)
You will not facilitate, engage in, or participate in any use of Azure services for crypto currency mining, denial of service attacks, spamming, or illegal activity, and/or any use that could cause harm to Microsoft or others, and will enforce strong internal controls to prevent the same. Microsoft may occasionally contact you regarding your use of your Azure services and you will upon such request provide reasonable documentation regarding your use. If Microsoft believes for any reason that such Azure services are being used for any prohibited purpose, Microsoft may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate your access to Azure services
## Communication Policy
Throughout the 12-month duration of your use of the free services, you may receive periodic email communications with best practices, training, tips and tricks, and offers related to Azure. You can stop receiving communications via the unsubscribe link in the email. Read the privacy statement
## Payment options
All you need is a phone number, a credit card or a debit card (non-prepaid), and a Microsoft account or a GitHub account. Only credit cards are accepted in Hong Kong SAR and Brazil

## Limits, quotas and constraints
Please refer to the limits, quotas, and constraints document for a list of common Microsoft Azure limits, quotas, and constraints. If you need to exceed these limits, contact customer service at any time so that we can adjust your limits appropriately. You must upgrade your Azure free account to a pay-as-you-go subscription in order to increase quotas or limits
## Service Level Agreements
Each Azure service has a set of robust service-level agreements (SLAs). See the SLAs for individual Azure services. SLAs are not provided for services during preview or for services that are offered free of charge
## Resource commitment
All increases in service usage (for example, 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 limits, quotas, and constraints section is not a commitment that there will be sufficient resources available for you to reach the quota
If an Azure free account is not incurring charges or is inactive for more than 30 days, we reserve the right to remove any compute resources including hosted services, virtual machines, and websites. We will provide notice prior to removing any compute resources
You can also avoid becoming inactive by doing either of the following every 30 days:
- Sign in to the Azure portal
- Access your resources via our Azure APIs
Microsoft reserves the right to modify or discontinue any of the free services or free account at any time with or without notice.
