In the event that you fulfill the conditions above, if you are listed in complaints reported by third parties, are investigated by government agencies, are involved in a litigation or arbitration procedure, or fail to meet the conditions after relevant checks, Huawei Cloud reserves the right to terminate the process of disabling your services without obtaining your consent before the process is formally completed ("retention period").
    5. Disabling your services will not affect your HUAWEI ID. You can continue using it to access other Huawei websites, applications, or services. If you do not need your HUAWEI ID, you can delete it at Huawei Account Center (id.cloud.huawei.com).
  3. Retention Period
    1. Huawei Cloud has set up a retention period for service closure in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, the requirements of regulatory bodies, and industry standards. The retention period has been provided on the Huawei Cloud website, and the period starts once you close your services.
    2. During the retention period, you cannot use your services or avail any rights granted by the corresponding Service Level Agreement (SLA).

      However, you can continue logging in to the Huawei Cloud website and perform the following operations:

      • Query historical bills and settle unpaid bills.
      • Apply to recover your services so you can use them again.
      • Disable your services immediately after all outstanding amounts are paid.

The consequences of disabling your services include but are not limited to the following:
      • You will not be able to log in to the Huawei Cloud website and Huawei Cloud app.
      • You will not be able to access the Huawei Cloud console and perform any operations.

Huawei Cloud will delete your data and immediately stop collecting, storing, and using your personal information and other data, except as otherwise required by applicable laws and regulations, the binding orders of relevant administrative, law enforcement, or judicial agencies, or industry standards.

    5. Handling account balance

      After you pay all outstanding amounts, you need to withdraw the remaining account balance.

    6. Huawei Cloud services cannot be recovered once they are disabled. Please back up all business information and data before you disable your services.
