Your data is yours. If you decide to cancel your Microsoft 365 subscription, you can download your data—for example, your email and documents on team sites—and save it to another location. You should save your data before you cancel. After you cancel your subscription, data associated with your Microsoft 365 account will be available to your administrator(s) in a limited function account for 90 days.

You can cancel your subscription at any time. However, depending on the product and the type of subscription you have, there may be a penalty for cancelling before the end of your contract. For subscriptions with a monthly commitment payment, there is no penalty for cancelling your contract at any time. Annual commitment subscriptions that are paid month to month my incur some penalties if cancelled early. Annual commitment subscriptions that are paid upfront do not receive a refund if cancelled prior to the full contract period.

With Outlook, you can read emails already delivered to your inbox or draft new emails and meeting requests. Your inbox and outbox will sync across the rest of your devices when you reconnect.

Internet access is required to install and activate all Microsoft 365 plans and to manage your subscription account. Internet connectivity is also required to access Microsoft 365 cloud productivity services, including e-mail, conferencing, IT management and other services.
