Accept the private offer

Once you complete any necessary prechecks, check permissions, and have your billing account ID ready, you're ready to accept a private offer.

Accepting the private offer means you agree to the terms and prices listed in the offer, creating a contractual agreement between your organization and the Microsoft partner. Accepting the private offer agreement includes:

  • Legal entity name to which the offer applies

  • Plans included in the offer

  • Private offer price

  • Custom legal terms for the offer, if applicable

  • Start and end dates when the negotiated price applies to this offer

  • Expiration date for the offer; you must accept the offer before this date
