This Huawei Cloud KooGallery Partner Product User Agreement (the “Agreement”) governs your use of the Huawei Cloud KooGallery platform (the “KooGallery”) and grants you access to KooGallery and the right to purchase Products (as defined in Section 11.8). This Agreement is entered into by and between the Huawei Cloud Contracting Party as defined in Section 11.5 of this Agreement (“Huawei Cloud”“we”, “us” and “our”), and you the entity associated with the Huawei Cloud account (hereinafter “You”“you”, or “your”).

If you, agree, accept (through provision of an electronic notification thereof) and enter into this Agreement for a company or other legal entity by signature or electronically, you hereby represent and warrant that you have the requisite power and authority to do so and to bind the company or other legal entity to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement takes effect as of the date you accept this Agreement (the “Commencement Date”).

You and Huawei Cloud are individually referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties” in this Product User Agreement.

1. Products, Prices and Payment

1.1 Scope. You may purchase Products on KooGallery:

(a) directly from Sellers; or

(b) through Resellers who are authorized by the Sellers to resell their Products on KooGallery.

If your purchase Products through a Reseller, you shall comply with the specific terms in Section 2 which are applicable to such resale arrangements, in addition to the rest of this Agreement.

1.2 Payment. Sellers appoint us as their payment processing agent for the purpose of receiving payments for Products on their behalf (as well as for payment related purposes such as online payment disputes, refunds, chargebacks and cancellations). If you purchase any Products directly from a Seller, you shall pay us all applicable purchase fees and any other fees related to the Products. These fees are separate and in addition to fees applicable to your use of any other Huawei Cloud Services. You shall solely be responsible to pay the bank charges and related fees incurred during the performance of these Terms. Your payment of the purchase fees and related fees is deemed receipt of payment by Sellers from you for the Products and will satisfy the payment obligations owed to Sellers by you in the amount of the applicable payment by you. 

If you purchase any Products through a Reseller, you must place the order for Products on KooGallery using your Huawei Cloud account which must be connected with that of the Reseller. We will bill the Reseller for the order, and the Reseller shall be responsible for paying us the fees relating to the order. You are responsible for paying all applicable fees for such Products directly to the Reseller in accordance with the terms of your agreement with the Reseller.

If you are in breach of your payment obligations to Huawei Cloud and fail to cure the breach within 30 days of being notified by Huawei Cloud of the breach and requesting cure of the same, Huawei Cloud may in its sole discretion do any or all of the following: (a) immediately terminate this Agreement and/or any other agreements between the Parties; (b) suspend or cancel your Huawei Cloud account and your access to and use of KooGallery, the Products and Huawei Cloud Services. Huawei Cloud’s rights under this Section shall be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that Huawei Cloud may have under this Agreement, any other agreements and/or applicable law. Huawei Cloud reserves the right to claim for any overdue payment and any other damages, losses, costs and expenses incurred thereby.

For Products that you purchase through a Reseller, Huawei Cloud reserves the right to suspend or cancel the Reseller’s access to and use of KooGallery, the Products and/or Huawei Cloud Services without any liability to you, in the event that the Reseller is in breach of its payment obligations to Huawei Cloud. You agree and acknowledge that, should such suspension or cancellation affect your ability to access and use the Products that you have purchased, the Reseller shall be solely liable and responsible to you for any losses or damages which you may suffer in connection therewith.

1.3 Orders. The prices and payment methods under these Terms shall be subject to those specified in the order on KooGallery. The pricing of Products listed on KooGallery at any time may be adjusted at Seller’s discretion. For Products that you purchase from Sellers directly, you may view the updated price list at: https://marketplace.eu.huaweicloud.com/list. If you purchase Products from a Reseller, the Product pricing that is applicable to you will be determined as between you and the Reseller in accordance with the terms of your agreement.

1.4 Invoicing. We will issue an invoice to you if we are required to do so under Applicable Laws, regulations or other legally binding requirements imposed by a competent authority. You agree that such invoicing by us does not and will not obligate us in any way or form in the rendering of Products that you purchase from Sellers and you agree that we will not assume any liabilities and/or responsibilities for the Products provided by Sellers. Any liability or responsibility related to Products is solely assumed by the Sellers.

For the avoidance of doubt, in relation to Products that you purchase through a Reseller, we are not responsible for invoicing you for such Products. You will be invoiced by the Reseller for such Products.

1.5 Taxes.

Fees for Products are

a. exclusive of VAT, sales tax, goods and services tax (GST) or any similar or analogous Tax applicable in a relevant territory if any, which shall be charged in addition thereto in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations in force at the time of making the relevant taxable supply.

b. inclusive of withholding tax, or any similar or analogous tax applicable in a relevant territory if any, which shall be deducted from Fees thereto, and any other taxes such as Digital Service Tax which should be filed and paid by Seller and us in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations.

Each Party is responsible, as required under Applicable Laws and regulations as well as applicable double tax treaties or arrangements, for filing and paying all Taxes and other governmental fees and charges (and any penalties, interest, and other additions thereto) that are imposed on that Party upon or with respect to the transactions and payments contemplated under these Terms.

All payments to be made by you to us under this Agreement shall be made without any set-off, counterclaim, withholding or deduction, be it tax-related or otherwise, unless specifically required by any applicable laws and/or regulations in the territory or under the applicable double tax treaties or arrangements. In the circumstance that a withholding tax or tax deduction is so required, you shall fulfill the withholding liability and make the payment to us net of the withholding tax or tax deduction, subject to the following requirements under this Section.

i. Where preferential tax treatment is applicable under a double tax treaty or arrangement, or the prevailing domestic tax laws/regulations, only the tax amount under such preferential tax treatment should be withheld by you. You shall apply to tax authorities for such preferential tax treatment with reasonable efforts. We will provide appropriate assistance during the application. To the extent that the tax authorities do not grant such preferential tax treatment, you shall provide appropriate evidence to us to support the application of the standard tax treatment.

ii. Where there are Taxes to be withheld, you shall provide us with the formal tax clearance/payment certificates or other equivalent legal documents issued by the tax authority within 60 days after the completion of such withholding activity. You shall be responsible for obtaining such tax clearance certificate or equivalent legal document from the tax authority, and deliver it to us properly in good condition (i.e. not broken, stained or blurred that might affect our use) with reasonable effort. In case that a tax authority does not provide a formal tax clearance, payment certificate or equivalent legal documents, we will mutually agree what other alternative evidence can be provided. In case that such tax clearance certificate or equivalent legal document could not be provided to us due to your negligence or non-compliance, you shall indemnify us for any losses, damage, expense or cost caused thereby.

iii. If you pay the charge to us net of the withholding tax or tax deduction, and a subsequent tax audit, investigation or inquiry identifies that a filing, withholding or deduction should have been made for/from the charge, you shall be liable to bear and pay amounts due under such a filing, deduction and any surcharges and penalties due thereon to the relevant authority.

If we incur any additional Taxes, costs or liabilities as a consequence of your delay or omission of the above mentioned Tax responsibilities or due to the provision of false or incomplete information by you which is necessary for us to determine and meet our above mentioned Tax responsibilities arising from our supplies of services to you (including but not limited to information relevant to the determination of your country of Tax residency), you shall be solely and exclusively liable to bear such costs related to Taxes not withheld, deducted, or reported, along with any interest, penalties and other charges associated therewith which are to be settled with the relevant governmental or Tax authorities.

If, subsequent to the entering into, during the course of, or retrospectively applicable to these Terms, any rates of existing Taxes are increased or decreased, a new Tax is levied, an existing Tax is abolished, or any change in the interpretation or application of any Tax is adopted (collectively referred as “Tax Changes”), we reserve the right to adjust the amounts payable by you to us, taking into account the Tax Changes, such that there would be no financial detriment to us arising from the Tax Changes.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Tax terms in Section1.5 of this Agreement only applies to you when you directly purchase Products from Sellers. If you purchase Products from a Reseller, the Taxes that are applicable to you will be determined as between you and the Reseller in accordance with the terms of your agreement.

1.6 Refunds. In the event that you apply for a refund and we confirm that the application meets the refund requirements provided by Seller, we will send a refund notification to you and the Seller. After we receive final confirmation from Seller that the refund has been approved by Seller, and after we actually receive the refunded amount from the Seller, we will refund to you the relevant amount for the Products in question, strictly in accordance with the refund process of Huawei Cloud.

For the avoidance of doubt, for Products that you purchase through a Reseller, we are not responsible for processing refunds between you and the Reseller. Any requests for refunds shall be made to your Reseller.

1.7 Cancelation. You further agree that we will be entitled to suspend or cancel your access to Products and/or KooGallery in the event of you being unable to make on-time and full payment(s) for the Products you are purchasing. Such cancelation or suspension may result in your data loss, and we shall not be responsible or liable for any damages, losses, expenses or costs arising from such suspension or cancelation (including any resulting data loss).

Serbia

Section 1.5

1.5 Taxes.

Fees for Products rendered by the Seller are  

a) exclusive of withholding tax, VAT, sales tax, goods and services tax (GST) or any similar or analogous Tax applicable in a relevant territory if any, which shall be charged in addition thereto in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations in force at the time of making the relevant taxable supply.

b) inclusive of any other taxes such as Digital Service Tax which should be filed and paid by Seller and us in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations

Each Party is responsible, as required under Applicable Laws and regulations as well as applicable double tax treaties or arrangements, for filing and paying all Taxes and other governmental fees and charges (and any penalties, interest, and other additions thereto) that are imposed on that Party upon or with respect to the transactions and payments contemplated under these Terms. If any other Taxes (including but not limited to withholding tax) are required by law to be levied on any payment, you shall make payments of such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that we actually receive payment of the full amount chargeable for your use of the Products as if no Taxes had been required. Any additional Tax, penalty, or interest arising from your delay or omission in complying with the above mentioned Tax responsibilities shall be borne by you.

If we incur any additional Taxes, costs or liabilities as a  consequence of your delay or omission of the above mentioned tax responsibilities or due to the provision of false or incomplete information by you which is necessary for us to determine and meet our above mentioned tax responsibilities arising from our supplies of services to you (including but not limited to information relevant to the determination of your country of tax residency), you shall be solely and exclusively liable to bear such costs related to Taxes not withheld, deducted, or reported, along with any interest, penalties and other charges associated therewith which are to be settled with the relevant governmental or tax authorities.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Tax terms in Section1.5 of this Agreement only applies to you when you directly purchase Products from Sellers. If you purchase Products from a Reseller, the Taxes that are applicable to you will be determined as between you and the Reseller in accordance with the terms of your agreement.
