Accepting a Cooperation Invitation from a Distributor and Applying to Become a Reseller

After receiving the invitation email from a distributor, click the invitation link to access the association page and perform the association operation as prompted.

Once a partner has been associated with a distributor of Huawei Cloud and become a reseller of this distributor, this partner cannot use their account to purchase cloud services.

  • Resources are provisioned for the account.
  • The account is in arrears.
  • The account has consumption records.
  • The account has joined another partner development path or partner program.
  • The account is added to the blacklist or yellow list.
  • Another Huawei Cloud account of the same company has been associated with the distributor.
  • The account has been frozen due to public security reasons, arrears, or violation.
  • The account is an enterprise master account or member account.
  • The account has a credit account.
  • The account has been preregistered by a Huawei BD.
  • The account has been associated with another partner.
  • The account is being used for or has passed real-name authentication.

The account cannot purchase or provision cloud services or resources during the application for associating with a distributor or after the application is approved.

If you have enabled pay-per-use resources for this account, go to the management console to release the resources or register a new account.

Resellers and their associated distributor must be in the same service country.
