Rental rules
You can rent a Micro Data Transport device on a long-term basis.
If a device is abnormal, contact the Alibaba Cloud staff for confirmation. If the Alibaba Cloud staff confirms a device failure, you can submit a device replacement request.
NoteYou can replace the device only with another device of the same specifications. To change to a different specification, you must request to return the current device and then place a new order for the desired device.
Billing rules
Bills are generated monthly and charged in the following month.
The minimum rental period is 3 months. If the rental period is less than 3 months, you are billed for the remaining time based on the monthly minimum data volume for the device's specifications.
If the usage duration is a full month:
If the data volume uploaded to the cloud is less than or equal to the monthly minimum, you are billed for the monthly minimum data volume.
If the data volume uploaded to the cloud is greater than the monthly minimum, you are billed for the actual data volume that is uploaded.
If the usage duration in a month is less than a full month, the actual minimum data volume for that month is calculated as follows: Monthly minimum ÷ 30 days × Actual usage duration. For billing purposes, each month is considered to have 30 days. The 31st day of a month is counted as the 30th. The actual usage duration is calculated as follows:
Month of receipt confirmation: Actual usage duration = 30 days - Date of receipt confirmation.
Month of device return: Actual usage duration = Date of device return - 1.
When you replace a device, there are two scenarios: same-month replacement and cross-month replacement:
Same-month replacement: Actual usage duration = (Date the old device is sent - 1) + (30 days - Date the new device is received)
Cross-month replacement:
Month the old device is sent: Actual usage duration = Date the old device is sent - 1
Month the new device is received: Actual usage duration = 30 days - Date the new device is received
If two replacements occur and are completed within the same month, the actual usage duration is calculated as follows: Actual usage duration = (Date the first old device is sent - 1) + (Date the second old device is sent - 1 - Date the first new device is received) + (30 - Date the second new device is received)
If a device is replaced within the first 3 months after you confirm its receipt, the replacement time is not deducted from the usage duration.
The day of receipt confirmation, device return, or device replacement (including the day the old device is sent and the day the new device is received) is not included in the billing.
