How is the relationship between partners and Yandex Cloud regulated?How is the relationship between partners and Yandex Cloud regulated?

The relationship between a partner and Yandex Cloud is regulated by the Partner Agreement that you sign when applying to participate in the partner program. The Partner Agreement is a separate agreement that supplements the Yandex Cloud Offer Agreement in terms of participation in the partner program.

You enter into an agreement with a customer yourself.

Types of our partners' agreements that you can find in the Partner Kit:

• Simple agreements for providing services without an agent fee. These agreements let you include the cost of using Yandex Cloud services and of support and maintenance services from a partner company.
• Commission agreements which, as some experts believe, are more consistent with the subject of agreements for "services to provide access to cloud resources" in terms of their wording for taxation purposes.

What service payment system is used in Yandex Cloud for partners? What happens if there is no money in the account?What service payment system is used in Yandex Cloud for partners? What happens if there is no money in the account?

Yandex Cloud uses a postpaid billing system. To get started, you should switch to paid consumption mode. Your account or subaccounts may start consumption without any top-up immediately after activation. The sum for consumption across all subaccounts linked to the partner account is debited from the partner personal account.

At the end of each month, we will send a service certificate to your email address indicating the amount minus the partner bonus for the past (reporting) month.

At the end of the reporting month, starting from the second month of paid consumption, you have 15 days to settle the payment invoice received. During this period, until the account is topped up, your credit limit is activated. The credit limit is calculated automatically based on the average monthly consumption over the past few months.

If you do not settle the payment before the end of the current month or the credit limit is exceeded, we will contact you to clarify the reasons for the delay in payment and agree on the deadline for transferring the funds. If we fail to receive your response after several attempts to contact you, your resources may be suspended until the issue is resolved.
