If this is your first time ordering digital services with Equinix and you do not have an existing Billing Account (or sometimes called a Cloud Billing Account), you’ll be directed to digitally sign the DSA.If you're creating additional Billing Accounts, you will be asked whether you want to use an existing Digital Services Agreement or sign a new Digital Services Agreement. If you need guidance on either DSA option, please review this documentation.[Example only for reference and may not reflect latest version of DSA]  I’m a new customer; do I need to sign a Fabric DSA?
