Where do I find the Microsoft Office 365 SLA?

Refunded amounts are based upon %uptime performance in the month in question and can be refunded up to the maximum of service charges incurred by the customer in that month (IE: if you only pay $25 a month, that is the max refund possible).

The comments here are a simplistic and rough summary and should not be construed as legal advise. Microsoft may change this information in the time between now and an update to this blog. I suggest you look to the link above and double check it is up to date before you take any financial or legal action upon the basis of the information here.
