-
For Customer orders placed through the Reseller Console, the following terms will apply:
-
1. Post-Pay Billing. Reseller shall elect one of the plans set forth below when placing each Customer order for the Services. For each Customer order, Google will invoice Reseller monthly in arrears for all fees irrespective of which plan Reseller selects.
-
1.1 Flexible Plan. If Reseller selects the flexible plan option (“Flexible Plan”), Reseller is not committing to purchase the Services for a pre-defined term for its Customer order. Instead, Google will invoice Reseller fees based upon the number of End User Accounts established by Customer, as measured daily, during the prior billing period. Google will provide Reseller with the monthly rate charged for the Services when Reseller orders the Services, and will use this rate to calculate the fees. Any partial day of Services in the prior billing period will be rounded up to a full day of Services for the purpose of calculating fees. Under the Flexible Plan, Customers may establish and delete unlimited End User Accounts on their own (or Reseller may do so on Customers’ behalf), and Google will invoice Reseller for such End User Accounts established as set forth above. But if Reseller has specified a maximum End User Account limit for a Customer domain via the Reseller Console, the Customer may only establish End User Accounts up to this limit (and Google will bill Reseller accordingly).
-
1.2 Annual Plan. If Reseller selects the annual plan option (“Annual Plan”), Reseller is committing to purchase the Services from Google for the entered Customer order for a 12 month term beginning on the Service Commencement Date (not on the date End User Accounts are provisioned). Under the Annual Plan, Customers may not establish End User Accounts on their own until Reseller places applicable Customer orders with Google covering those End User Accounts. End User Accounts Reseller purchases after the Service Commencement Date for a given Customer will have a pro-rated term (at the same Annual Plan monthly rate) beginning on the date of the Executed Order and ending on the same date as the initial Annual Plan order for that Customer ends. By placing its subsequent order for a given Customer, Reseller is committing to purchase such additional End User Accounts ordered for the term set forth in the prior sentence.
-
-
2. Customer Order Renewal. Reseller shall elect one of the following renewal options for each Customer order for the Services in the Reseller Console.
-
2.1 Flexible Plan. With a Flexible Plan, Reseller is not committing to purchase the Services for a pre-defined term. As a result, there is no renewal event for the Flexible Plan. Rather, Google will continue billing Reseller fees consistent with Section 1.1 of this Exhibit above until there are no longer End User Accounts in the Customer’s account.
-
2.2 Annual Plan. With an Annual Plan, Reseller may select among the following options.
-
2.2.1 Auto-Renew at Prior Commitment. If Reseller elects for a Customer order to auto-renew at the prior commitment then at the end of each Services term for the applicable Customer order, the Services (and all End User Accounts Reseller previously purchased for such Customer) will automatically renew for a 12 month period at the same number of End User Accounts as Reseller had previously purchased from Google in aggregate for the given Customer order.
-
2.2.2 Auto-Renew at Prior Usage. If Reseller elects for a Customer order to auto-renew at the prior usage then at the end of each Services term for the applicable Customer order, the Services (and all End User Accounts previously purchased for such Customer) will automatically renew for a 12 month period at the same number of End User Accounts as Reseller’s Customer had established as of the date of the renewal for the given Customer order.
-
2.2.3 Do Not Auto-Renew/Switch to Flexible Plan. If Reseller elects for a Customer order to not auto-renew, such order will switch to the Flexible Plan as described in Section 1.1 of this Exhibit above at the end of the then-current term.
-
2.2.4 Do Not Auto-Renew/Terminate at End of Term. Reseller may elect for a Customer order to be terminated at the end of the then current order term.
-

-
-
-
3. Cancellation.
-
3.1 Annual Plan. Reseller may cancel a Customer order on the Annual Plan at any time by selecting that choice in the Reseller Console but will be liable to pay for all remaining amounts due (applicable to the remainder of the then-current term) under the Customer order at the time of cancellation. No refunds will be issued for Annual Plan orders. End User Accounts cannot be transferred by Reseller from one Customer Domain Name to another.
-
3.2 Flexible Plan. Reseller may cancel a Customer order on the Flexible Plan at any time by ensuring that all End User Accounts for the Customer are deleted and by then contacting Google Support to request cancellation of the Customer’s Services.
-
-
4. Special Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Google may offer Reseller (in the Reseller Console) terms for a given Customer order which are different than the terms provided under the Agreement (for example, special pricing or special term length, etc.). If such terms are presented in the Reseller Console, Reseller may accept them by agreeing to them and placing the applicable Customer order with Google in the Reseller Console.
-
5. Orders Not Subject to Exhibit B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Exhibit B will not apply to any Customer order which the parties agree will not be subject to Exhibit B (in which case, that order will be subject to Exhibit C).

For Customer orders not placed through the Reseller Console, the following terms will apply to those orders in place of the terms set forth on Exhibit B:

Google will invoice Reseller monthly, in arrears, for the full pre-paid charges for all Executed Orders not placed through the Reseller Console, consolidated across all Reseller Customers since the last monthly invoice. If there are no Executed Orders placed outside the Reseller Console during a given month, Reseller will not be invoiced.
-
2. End User Accounts Services Terms.
-
2.1 Initial Term: Prorated Terms. The initial term for the first Executed Order for End User Accounts on a given Customer Domain Name will be twelve months beginning on the Service Commencement Date. End User Accounts purchased after the Service Commencement Date will have a pro-rated term beginning on the date of the Executed Order and ending on the expiry of the initial term. The beginning of the term is determined by the date of the Executed Order, and not by the date of provisioning End User Accounts. Reseller may request End User Accounts for Reseller’s Customer Domains by ordering End User Accounts via a Purchase Order to Google (or order form acceptable to Google). This process holds for the purchase both of an initial set of End User Accounts and for any additional End User Accounts to be purchased by the Reseller for that same Customer Domain.
-
2.2 Automatic Renewal, Disabling, Altering End User Accounts. Under the default setting for th Services, after the initial term, each End User Account will automatically renew on each anniversary of the Service Commencement Date for an additional twelve-month term. In order to: (i) disable auto-renewal for a Customer order or (ii) alter the number of End User Accounts to be renewed for a Customer order, Reseller must communicate its election to do so to Google by Purchase Order (or order form acceptable to Google) at least three business days before the Customer order renews.
-
-
3. Cancellations, Refunds, Transfers. Reseller may cancel an Executed Order placed by Reseller at any time by contacting Google Support but will be liable to pay for all remaining amounts due (applicable to the remainder of the then-current term) under the Customer order at the time of cancellation. No refunds will be issued for Reseller’s Executed Orders. End User Accounts cannot be transferred by Reseller from one Customer Domain Name to another.
-
4. Migration to Reseller Console. For any Customer order subject to Exhibit C initially, Google may elect, in its sole discretion, to migrate that Customer order to become subject to Exhibit B (rather than Exhibit C) by informing Reseller in advance of that migration.
