China Delivery requirements

China Delivery is an optional service for delivering your media to end users in Mainland China. It's available only to some customers and isn't offered on self-service plans. This page explains the requirements you must meet before Cloudinary can deliver your assets from within Mainland China.

China Delivery service

Where a customer purchases Cloudinary China CDN delivery ("China Delivery"), Cloudinary delivers Customer Content to end users in Mainland China through the Cloudflare China Network. Within Mainland China, the Cloudflare China Network operates on infrastructure provided by JD Cloud, a local CDN provider holding the licenses required to provide CDN services in Mainland China.

ICP license and letter of attestation

As a condition to providing China Delivery, you must, at your own expense, obtain and maintain throughout the subscription term a valid Internet Content Provider license (ICP License) issued by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).

Additionally, the ICP License owner must sign a letter of attestation required by JD Cloud, as a prerequisite for internet services in Mainland China. The ICP holder may be an entity other than the customer entity contracting with Cloudinary.

The letter of attestation relates solely to the ICP holder's regulatory and content-related commitments concerning the China Delivery hostnames. It doesn't modify the commercial terms, fees, support, or service commitments under your agreement, all of which remain solely between you and Cloudinary.

If the letter isn't signed or a hostname is rejected

If the letter of attestation isn't signed, or if JD Cloud rejects, suspends, or terminates a hostname (for example, because an ICP filing is revoked or the content doesn't comply with applicable local law), Cloudinary may continue delivering that hostname to end users in Mainland China through its global network outside Mainland China. Such delivery may involve reduced performance, and Cloudinary has no liability arising from or relating to it.
