Managing an Online Contract

An online contract is stamped with the HUAWEI CLOUD electronic seal and has legal effect.

Prerequisites

You have passed the HUAWEI CLOUD real-name authentication.

Context

Types of online contracts:

  • Order contract: A contract created based on a successfully purchased HUAWEI CLOUD product. It is requested for a completed yearly/monthly order or a pay-per-use bill.
  • Payment requisition contract: A contract created before the purchase of a HUAWEI CLOUD product. It can include payment terms and Pending payment orders.

Statuses of online contracts:

  • Draft: A draft contract is for preview only. It is not signed or stamped and has no legal effect.
  • Completed: After a draft contract is converted to a formal contract, it is automatically stamped with the HUAWEI CLOUD electronic seal and enters the Completed status. A formal contract has legal effect.

Precautions

  • You can request a maximum of 80 online contracts a day.
  • Advance payment customers cannot request online contracts. Instead, they can only sign contracts with partners offline.
