Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes a contractual 90-day window for disputing billing errors, after which the agreement states users release all liability and claims related to the error. This window may be shorter than statutory dispute periods available under applicable consumer protection law in certain jurisdictions, and legal teams should evaluate enforceability accordingly.

If we make an error on your bill, you must tell us within 90 days after the error first appears on your bill. We will then promptly investigate the charge. If you do not tell us within that time, you release us from all liability and claims of loss resulting from the error and we won't be required to correct the error or provide a refund. If Microsoft has identified a billing error, we will correct that error within 90 days.
