By clicking to accept this Amendment, Customer acknowledges and agrees to the following:
-
-
1. Assignment of Agreement. If Customer is located in a country outside of the United States, then by entering into this Addendum, the Agreement is automatically assigned to Google (as defined above).
-
-
-
2. Payment Terms.
-
2.1 Payment. Customer has agreed to purchase additional storage for the Services ("Storage") via an online provisioning process. All payments are due in the currency stated in the process.
(a) Credit Card or Debit Card. If Customer is paying with a credit card, debit card, or other non-invoice form of payment, then (i) payments are due at the end of the month during which Customer received the Services, (ii) Google will issue an electronic bill for all applicable fees (including applicable Taxes, as defined below) when due, and (iii) these fees are considered overdue 30 days after the end of the month during which Customer received the Services.
(b) Invoices. Payments for invoices are due 30 days after the invoice date (unless otherwise specified on the Order Form) and are considered overdue after such date.
(c) Other Forms of Payment. Customer may change its payment method to any other method that Google may enable, subject to acceptance by Customer of any additional terms applicable to that payment method.
(d) Payment Information. Payments made via wire transfer must include the bank information provided by Google.
2.2 Usage Measurement and Billing Options. Google’s measurement tools will be used to determine Customer’s usage of the Services, including how much Storage is used.
2.3 Taxes.
(a) "Taxes" means all government-imposed taxes, except for taxes based on Google's net income, net worth, asset value, property value, or employment.
(b) Customer is responsible for any Taxes, and will pay Google for the Services without any reduction for Taxes. If Google is obligated to collect or pay any Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to Customer and Customer will pay such Taxes to Google, unless Customer provides Google with a timely and valid tax exemption certificate in respect of those Taxes.
(c) Customer will provide Google with any applicable tax identification information that Google may require under applicable law to ensure its compliance with applicable tax regulations and authorities in applicable jurisdictions. Customer will be liable to pay (or reimburse Google for) any taxes, interest, penalties, or fines arising out of any mis-declaration by Customer.
2.4 Payment Disputes. Any payment disputes must be submitted in good faith before the payment due date. If Google, having reviewed the dispute in good faith, determines that certain billing inaccuracies are attributable to Google, Google will not issue a corrected invoice, but will instead issue a credit memo specifying the incorrect amount in the affected invoice. If a disputed invoice has not yet been paid, Google will apply the credit memo amount to the disputed invoice and Customer will be responsible for paying the resulting net balance due on that invoice. Nothing in this Agreement obligates Google to extend credit to any party.
2.5 Delinquent Payments; Suspension. Late payments (which, for clarity, do not include amounts subject to a good faith payment dispute submitted before the payment due date) may bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) from the payment due date until paid in full. Customer will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Google in collecting such delinquent amounts.
2.6 No Purchase Order Number Required. Customer is obligated to pay all applicable fees without any requirement for Google to provide a purchase order number on Google's invoice (or otherwise).
2.7 Billing Support. For billing support, please contact Google Workspace support as described at https://support.google.com/a/answer/1047213?hl=en. Note that technical support is not offered for the Legacy Edition, and Google will not respond to any such requests for technical support.
