This document describes how a reseller can proactively disassociate the relationship with sub-customers.
Applicable Objects
This unbinding process is suitable for resellers, second-level resellers and distributors. The copywriting uses "reseller" for description.
Overview
Resellers can initiate the sub-customer unbinding process on the Partner Center > Customer Management webpage. Since there is a business cooperation relationship between resellers and sub-customers, the unbinding operation requires mutual confirmation before it can be executed. Refer to the figure below for the unbinding process: Note:
Before initiating the unbinding process, the reseller must fully communicate with the sub-customer, handle potential past contract and billing matters, and confirm both parties have reached an agreement on the unbinding issue.
Before initiating unbinding, the reseller should adjust the sub-customer account to normal status as much as possible, i.e.:
The sub-customer account has a credit limit equal to or greater than 0. If the available credit is less than 0, allocate credit to the sub-customer before unbinding. See Credit Allocation and Reclaim. Unbinding Notice
To ensure your and your sub-customer's account and property safety, please read the following information carefully before proceeding with the operation:
Important Notice
The current process for unbinding a reseller is applicable only to Tencent Cloud resellers, second-level resellers, and distributors.
Confirm that the person submitting the unbinding application is yourself or a legally authorized agent/representative of the account holder. In the latter scenario, the agent/representative must inform the account holder of this Note and all steps in the process, ensuring the holder understands the entire content.
The unbinding process is designed to remove the relationship between you and your sub-customers. Ensure you agree upon the initiation with them before submitting a request.
After executing the reselling relationship removal, the action is uncancelable and irreversible. Ensure you have fully considered and confirmed the necessity of removing the reselling relationship.
During the period from initiating the application to operation completion for reselling relationship removal, all resource consumption will continue to generate bills as per the existing method, i.e., the original reseller will still bear the spending.
The billing process for Cloud Products may have delays. After terminating the reselling relationship, there will still be partial delayed billing costs charged under the pre-termination identity.
You have confirmed settling ALL overdue payments with this sub-customer.
You have confirmed deactivating ALL sub-customer discounts for this sub-customer.

4. When submitting an unbinding application, the system will validate whether the sub-customer meets the unbinding conditions. After the verification passes, the system will generate an unbinding record and sync it to the Unbinding Customers page information.
If the customer is a sub-customer of a second-level reseller, the system will notify the distributor to review the initiated sub-customer unbinding application. After the fdistributor passes the review, the system will notify the sub-customer to confirm.
If the customer is not a sub-account of a second-level reseller, the system will directly notify the sub-customer to confirm the unbinding application.
6. After the sub-customer consents, it needs to continue to complete card binding as prompted. (If a credit card has already been bound and information completed, no need to bind again or complete information.)
7. After completing the card binding process, the system will check if the pre conditions pass. If all pass, the unbinding is completed, the sub-customer will become a Tencent Cloud official website customer, and the signed reseller customer agreement will be invalidated synchronously.
