# Get going with your service center
This guide aims to describe the steps to get you going as a service center in HUNT Cloud.
Service agreements defines a services center and regulates how services are provided, billed and controlled. Read more about the services agreement in our agreement section.
# 1. Decide where your services center should be located
There is no direct cost associated with the establishment of a services center since invoices are sent directly to data spaces for services consumed in their lab.
However, the services center is formally responsible for cost accumulated among their attached data spaces. Therefore, services agreements needs to be signed by a formal role in your organization, such as head of centers, departments, faculties, divisions or roles in your central management.
NTNU
