Below the notification section are sections for the contract duration, components included in the contract, and the instance pricing you negotiated, along with another opportunity to view or download the EULA.

If you're unable to access an instance type or AWS Region, it may not have been supported at the time the private offer was sent to you. Review your agreement details for more information. To obtain access to an instance or a Region, contact the seller and request an updated private offer. After you accept the new offer, you'll have access to the newly added instance or Region.
