After months of passionate partner feedback, Microsoft announced yesterday evening that they are updating the change and cancellation window for orders placed within New Commerce Experience (NCE)
The new 7-day cancellation window is effective from midnight on the 18th March 2022 for partners purchasing any new commercial seat-based subscription orders in CSP new commerce.  As with the previous 72hr cancellation policy, charges for cancelled subscriptions or seat reductions will be charged pro-rata from the time the subscription is created – until it is cancelled, or seats are reduced. Microsoft have also confirmed that this new 7-day cancellation window, will be effective for all subscriptions purchased seven-days prior to the implementation date and time – (12am UTC Saturday 12th March). 

Cancellations within the seven-day window will be enabled for the following commercial subscription scenarios:
  • New seat-based subscription purchases on New Commerce
  • Seat-based subscriptions that have been renewed on New Commerce
  • Seat-based subscriptions purchased on new commerce as a result of a migration from legacy CSP
  • Partial new commerce upgrades that resulted in a new subscription
  • Reducing seats from incremental seat adds on existing subscriptions or on new subscription orders

Vuzion Managing Director, Michael Frisby, comments: “This is great news for Vuzion Partners transacting in the New Commerce Experience for CSP. The extension to a 7-day change and cancellation window reduces the possibility of error when purchasing new subscriptions.” I think we can all agree that this is welcome news that we have all been pushing Microsoft for.
