AWS Customer Agreement

https://aws.amazon.com/agreement/


The AWS Customer Agreement is the standard terms and conditions presented when an individual creates a new AWS Account.


When working under the reseller model, these terms are replaced by the AWS Customer License Terms that are noted in the AWS VAR Agreement.

These are the standard terms and conditions that customers are bound to under the VAR AWS reseller program. 


One of the primary differences between direct and resell is payment terms.


AWS Enterprise Customer Agreement (EA)

AWS’s EA is a custom contract that is not available online. Customers negotiate directly with AWS on this agreement, and it replaces the standard AWS Customer Agreement.


AWS Consent to Assignment (CTA)The AWS CTA accomplishes the following:
  • Establishes the terms that control the AWS account (direct or resold)
  • Establishes the payment responsibilities to AWS for the account(s)

The AWS CTA is used primarily for the following reasons:

  • Management account is moving between owners (direct to indirect, distributor to distributor)
  • AWS accounts created by TD SYNNEX are provisioned under the solutions provider account model vs. end customer account model.
