These Amazon Web Services Promotional Credit Terms and Conditions (these “
Terms”) are an agreement between you and Beijing Sinnet Technology Co., Ltd. (“
Sinnet”) and Ningxia Western Cloud Data Technology Co., Ltd. (“
Western Cloud Data”) (Sinnet and Western Cloud Data are hereinafter collectively referred to as “
us,” “
our,” or “
we”) and govern your use of any Amazon Web Services promotional credit in Amazon Web Services regions located within China (“
Promotional Credit”). Promotional Credits are jointly provided by us. You must have a valid Amazon Web Services China account to redeem a Promotional Credit code. Capitalized terms used but not defined in these Terms will have the meanings set forth in the Sinnet Customer Agreement for Amazon Web Services (Beijing Region) available at
https://www.amazonaws.cn/en/agreement/beijing/ (or other written agreement between you and Sinnet governing your use of services in Amazon Web Services (Beijing Region) if applicable) (the “
Sinnet Agreement”) and the Western Cloud Data Customer Agreement for Amazon Web Services (Ningxia Region) available at
https://www.amazonaws.cn/en/agreement/ningxia/ (or other written agreement between you and Western Cloud Data governing your use of services in Amazon Web Services (Ningxia Region) if applicable) (the “
Western Cloud Data Agreement”). These Terms apply to all Promotional Credit, regardless of whether you have a valid Amazon Web Services China account when you receive the Promotional Credit.
1. Promotional Credit will be applied only to offset eligible fees and charges incurred during or following the billing cycle in which you apply the applicable Promotional Credit code to your Amazon Web Services China account. Promotional Credit will be applied only to the specific Services designated by us (collectively, “ Eligible Services”). Unless authorized by us, Promotional Credit will not be applied to any fees or charges for Ineligible Amazon Web Services Support, Amazon Web Services Marketplace (operated by Western Cloud Data), any other Services as may be designated by us, or any upfront fee for any Services such as Savings Plans and Reserved Instances (collectively, “ Ineligible Services”). For purposes of this Section 1, “ Ineligible Amazon Web Services Support” means Amazon Web Services Support (as described on the Amazon Web Services China Site) that is Amazon Web Services Enterprise Support and Amazon Web Services Enterprise On-Ramp.
5. By accepting Promotional Credit, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to agree to these Terms on behalf of the entity you represent and that your receipt and use of Promotional Credit is not prohibited or inconsistent with any applicable laws, rules, regulations, or binding orders (including applicable ethics or procurement rules) and will not create a conflict of interest for us.
6. Unless authorized by us, Promotional Credit may not be used in conjunction with any other promotional or incentive offer from us or our affiliates.
7. Promotional Credit will not be applied against any sales, use, gross receipts, or similar transaction-based taxes that may be applicable to you.
8. You may not issue any press release or make any other public disclosure regarding Promotional Credit without our prior written consent. In addition, you agree not to misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you. For example, you agree not to imply that we support, sponsor, or endorse you unless you have our prior written permission to do so.
9. Promotional Credit is valid for a limited time only and cannot be redeemed after the expiration date indicated when you receive the applicable Promotional Credit code (or such other date designated by us). Redeemed Promotional Credit will be applied to offset eligible fees and charges incurred during the entire billing cycle in which it expires. Failure to redeem Promotional Credit before its expiration date will result in its forfeiture. We reserve the right to cancel Promotional Credit at any time. No refunds will be granted for any expired or cancelled Promotional Credit.
10. If you are provided Promotional Credit for a specific scope or purpose agreed between you and us (a “ Project”), your use of Promotional Credit is subject to these terms and any agreement between you and us regarding the Project, and will be used only to support the Project. If you provide any estimates or Project work scope to us in connection with the Project, you warrant that they are accurate to the best of your knowledge. If you agree to Project milestones, Promotional Credit is conditioned on their completion, as confirmed by us (unless otherwise agreed by us). To the extent permitted by applicable law, and upon our reasonable request, you will provide details relating to progress on the Project, which you consent to us, the Technical Providers and each of our and their respective affiliates using to administer our support of the Project. In the event of a conflict between this Section 10 and any separate agreement between you and us regarding the Project, the terms of that separate agreement will govern.
1. Promotional Credit will be applied only to offset eligible fees and charges incurred during or following the billing cycle in which you apply the applicable Promotional Credit code to your Amazon Web Services China account. Promotional Credit will be applied only to the specific Services designated by us (collectively, “ Eligible Services”). Unless authorized by us, Promotional Credit will not be applied to any fees or charges for Ineligible Amazon Web Services Support, Amazon Web Services Marketplace (operated by Western Cloud Data), any other Services as may be designated by us, or any upfront fee for any Services such as Savings Plans and Reserved Instances (collectively, “ Ineligible Services”). For purposes of this Section 1, “ Ineligible Amazon Web Services Support” means Amazon Web Services Support (as described on the Amazon Web Services China Site) that is Amazon Web Services Enterprise Support and Amazon Web Services Enterprise On-Ramp.
2. Promotional Credit will not be applied to your Amazon Web Services China account until you redeem your Promotional Credit code through the Amazon Web Services China Site or as otherwise disbursed to your Amazon Web Services China account. Each Promotional Credit code can only be redeemed once and only on one Amazon Web Services China account. Promotional Credit may only be redeemed to offset charges pursuant to a bill for use of any Eligible Services. Your Amazon Web Services China account will be billed for all fees and charges for use of any Eligible Services in excess of the amount of available Promotional Credit.
3. You may not sell, license, rent, or otherwise transfer Promotional Credit. Promotional Credit may be applied only to your own Amazon Web Services China account. The foregoing does not restrict authorized sharing of Promotional Credits within an Amazon Organization (as defined in the applicable Service Terms and as described in
the Applying Credits section of the Amazon Billing User Guide on the
Amazon Web Services China Site). Promotional Credit has no intrinsic value, is not redeemable for cash, has no cash value, is nonrefundable, and serves merely as a means to provide an incentive to use our Services. Promotional Credit may not be purchased for cash, and we and our affiliates do not sell Promotional Credit.
4. Promotional Credit is void in the event of fraud, misuse, or violation of any terms of the Sinnet Agreement and the Western Cloud Data Agreement, these Terms, or the terms of the agreement, promotion, or program pursuant to which you received the Promotional Credit. Promotional Credit is void if sold for cash or other consideration. If we determine a customer created an Amazon Web Services China account solely for the purpose of obtaining Promotional Credit, any Promotional Credit applied to that Amazon Web Services China account will be void. In addition to any other legal relief available to us, you will reimburse us for the amount of any Promotional Credit you use in violation of these Terms. You will maintain true, complete and accurate records sufficient to verify compliance with these terms, and agree to promptly provide us with reasonable documentary evidence of such compliance.
6. Unless authorized by us, Promotional Credit may not be used in conjunction with any other promotional or incentive offer from us or our affiliates.

(1) If you are executing the Project for the direct benefit, or at the direction, of any entity that is a part of, or is substantially owned, funded, managed, or controlled by, any government at any level, including any public educational institution (a “
Government Entity”), you will disclose in writing to the Government Entity that we are supporting your Project with Promotional Credit (including the amount). Any Promotional Credit provided by us in connection with such Project is provided for the Government Entity’s benefit to offset its costs associated with the Project. You may not retain or use any portion of the Promotional Credit for your own benefit. You must pass on the full value of the Promotional Credit to the Government Entity as a discount for the work performed under the Project. You will take appropriate measures (such as confirming with the Government Entity’s contracting officer, ethics official, or other applicable Government Entity’s representative) to ensure that your use of Promotional Credit is lawful, ethical, and permissible, does not create any conflict of interest for you or us, and does not improperly influence your objectivity, including where a Government Entity expects you to provide objective recommendations or suggestions relating to cloud services. By accepting Promotional Credit, you consent to us disclosing our support of the Project to the Government Entity.
11. You agree to maintain in strict confidence any data or information relating to the Services that you discover, derive, develop, or otherwise learn about through your use of the Services.
