Requesting Association with a Partner

Customers can contact Huawei Cloud partners to obtain invitation links or QR codes. Then customers can click the links or scan the QR codes to complete the registration and association.

After a customer is associated with a partner in reseller model, the customer account is automatically frozen. In this state, the customer cannot purchase, renew the subscription to, change, or properly use resources. To normally run services, the customer must contact its partner to set a monthly budget and unfreeze its account.

Precautions

  • A customer cannot be associated with a partner if the customer:
    • Registers with Huawei Cloud (Chinese mainland website).
    • Has been associated with another partner.
    • Has signed a special contract with Huawei Cloud, such as offline directly-signed contract, authorized telemarketing contract with discounts, or directly-signed special offer contract.
    • Has registered for more than seven days or has cash expenditure records.
    • Has unpaid bills.
    • Has been associated with an enterprise master in the unified accounting mode with a resource account or a cloud account.
  • A customer cannot be associated with a partner in reseller model if the customer:
    • Has signed a professional service contract with Huawei Cloud.
    • Has valid reserved instances (RIs).
    • Is using an enterprise member account.
    • Is using an enterprise master account that has independent accounting members.
  • When you associate with a partner in the reseller model, cash coupon rules are as follows.
    • You can only use cash coupons to pay orders which are generated before the association.
    • Your expenditures will be converted into bills of the partner you associated with and you may be restricted from generating more expenditures by the partner. For details, see Freezing Customer Accounts and Resources.

Procedure

  1. Click the invitation link sent by the partner or scan the QR code sent by the partner.

    • If you want to authorize partners to place orders and perform O&M on your behalf, select I have read and agree to the Letter of Authorization.
