.1 Joining the Program. To join the Program, you must be or represent a “startup” company, accept or execute a Customer Agreement, submit a complete Program application through aws.amazon.com/activate (the “Amazon Web Services Site”), and be accepted by us into the Program. You must have a valid Amazon Web Services China account before you can submit an application to join the Program. Submitting an application through the Amazon Web Services Site does not constitute admission into the Program, and we may accept or reject any Program application, in our sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, participation in this Program does not authorize you to resell or sublicense our services or the services of any third party.
1.2 Program Benefits. If you are accepted into the Program, you may receive certain benefits from time-to-time as determined in our sole discretion and as described on the Amazon Web Services Site. You will be deemed to have accepted any additional terms and conditions, as applicable, before receiving these Program benefits. Such additional terms and conditions may include, for example and without limitation, the Amazon Web Services Promotional Credit Terms & Conditions at aws.amazon.com/awscredits/, the Amazon Web Services Support Plan at amazonaws.cn/support-plans/, and the Amazon Web Services Training Agreement at aws.amazon.com/training/training-agreement/.

You may not sell, license, rent, or otherwise transfer any Program benefits.

The third party offering or selling Third Party Content will be the seller of record for such Third Party Content, and may specify separate terms and conditions and privacy policies for the use of its Third Party Content. Neither we nor Amazon is a party to the transaction between you and any third party who makes Third Party Content available to you, and if there are separate terms for the Third Party Content, neither we nor Amazon will be a party to those terms.
