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 . If you purchase any Products directly from a Seller, you shall pay us all applicable 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.

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.huaweicloud.com/intl/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. For non-hardware products, 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.

For hardware products, the seller will issue an invoice to you if the seller is required to do so under Applicable Laws, regulations or other legally binding requirements imposed by a competent authority.

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. 

1.5.1 For non-hardware products, Fees for Products 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.

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.

1.5.2 For hardware products, the Taxes that are applicable to you will be determined as between you and the Seller/Reseller in accordance with the terms of your agreement.

You and the Seller/Reseller are 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 you or the Seller/Reseller upon or with respect to the transactions and payments contemplated under these Terms.

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.
