This Cloud Identity Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and
entered into between the entity or person agreeing to these
terms (“Customer”) and Google. “Google” has the meaning
given
at https://cloud.google.com/terms/google-entity.
This Agreement is effective as of the date Customer clicks
the button to accept these terms (the “Effective Date”). If
you are accepting on behalf of Customer, you represent and
warrant that: (i) you have full legal authority to bind
Customer to this Agreement; (ii) you have read and
understand this Agreement; and (iii) you agree, on behalf of
Customer, to this Agreement. If you don’t have the legal
authority to bind Customer, please do not click to accept
these terms.
This Agreement governs Customer’s access to and use of the
Services whether purchased directly through Google or via
Reseller.
1. **Provision of Services; Support**.
1.1 ***Services Provision
and Use**.* During the Term, Google will provide
the Services ordered by Customer, and grants Customer the right
to access and use the applicable Services, subject to the terms
of this Agreement, including the SLA (if applicable) and
applicable Order Forms.
1.2 ***Updates to the
Services and URL Terms***.
a. ***Changes to
Services***. Subject to Section 1.2c (Deprecation
Policy), Google may make commercially reasonable changes to the
Services from time to time or discontinue any Services or
portion or feature(s) of the Services at any time and if such
change or discontinuation is material, Google will inform
Customer through the Notification Email Address or the Admin
Console. If any change to the Services involves the addition of
new applications, features or functionality for the Services
(collectively, “New Applications”), use of the New Applications
may be subject to additional terms but Customer will not be
required to use the New Applications in order to use the
Services.
b. ***Changes to URL
Terms***. Google may make commercially reasonable
changes to the URL Terms from time to time. If any such change
is material, Google will inform Customer through the
Notification Email Address or the Admin Console (the “URL Term
Change Notice”). If the change has a material adverse impact on
Customer and does not result from Google complying with a court
order or applicable law, Customer may object to the change by
notifying Google within thirty (30) days after receiving the URL
Term Change Notice. If Customer notifies Google as required,
then Customer will remain governed by the terms in effect
immediately prior to the change until the earlier of: (i) the
end of the then-current Term; or (ii) expiry of a period of 12
months from the date of the URL Term Change Notice. If the
affected Services are renewed, they will be renewed under
Google’s then current URL Terms.
c. ***Deprecation
Policy***. Google will notify Customer if it
intends to make a Significant Deprecation. Google will use
reasonable endeavours to continue to provide the Services
without a Significant Deprecation for at least one year after
that notification, unless (as Google determines in its
reasonable good faith judgment): (i) it is prohibited from doing
so by law or by contract (including if there is a change in
applicable law or contract); or (ii) doing so could create a
security risk or a substantial economic or technical burden.
This policy is the “Deprecation Policy.”
1.3 ***Additional
Products***. Google may make Additional Products
available to Customer and its End Users in accordance with the
applicable product-specific Additional Product Terms. Additional
Products are not subject to or governed by this Agreement.
Customer can enable or disable Additional Products. Unless
otherwise specifically stated, Customer is not required to use
Additional Products in order to use the Services. For the
avoidance of doubt, any use by Customer or its End Users of the
Core Services for Google Workspace (as
described here)
that are not part of the Services will be governed by
the Google Workspace Terms of Service (or
another mutually-agreed agreement governing Customer's use of
Google Workspace).
1.4 ***Support; Service
Levels***.
a. Customer will, at its own
expense, respond to questions and complaints from End Users or
third parties relating to Customer’s or End Users’ use of the
Services.
b. Google will not provide TSS or
the Services in accordance with any SLAs, except: (a) for an
additional charge; and (b) where expressly stated that TSS is
available and the SLAs are applicable.
c. Customer acknowledges and agrees
that Reseller may disclose End User personal data to Google as
reasonably required in order for Reseller to handle any support
issues that Customer may choose to escalate to or via Reseller.
1.5 ***Service Specific
Terms***. The Service Specific Terms are
incorporated by this reference into the Agreement.
2. **Data Processing; Security.**
2.1 ***Data Processing
Amendment***. If during the Term, Customer
clicks-to-accept the Data Processing Amendment that Google will
make available via the Services, the Data Processing Amendment
will set forth the rights and obligations of the parties in
relation to the processing and security of Customer Data under
this Agreement, and the parties will comply with the Data
Processing Amendment.
2.2 ***Updates to the Data
Processing Amendment***. Notwithstanding that
Customer may have clicked-to-accept the Data Processing
Amendment as described in Section 2.1 (Data Processing
Amendment), Google, may, subject to Sections 1.2a (Changes to
Services) and 1.2c (Deprecation Policy), only update or modify
the Data Processing Amendment:
a. where the relevant change is
required to comply with applicable law, applicable regulation,
court order or guidance issued by a governmental regulator or
agency;
b. where the relevant change is
expressly permitted by the terms of the Data Processing
Amendment; or
c. where the relevant change:
i. is commercially reasonable;
ii. does not result in degradation
of the overall security of the Services;
iii. does not expand the scope of
or remove any restrictions on Google’s processing of Customer
Data, as described in Section 5 (Processing of Customer Data) of
the Data Processing Amendment; and
iv. does not otherwise have a
material adverse impact on Customer’s rights under the Data
Processing Amendment.
d. If Google makes a material
change to the Data Processing Amendment in accordance with this
Section 2.2, Google will inform Customer through the
Notification Email Address or the Admin Console.
3. **Custome**r **Obligations**.
3.1
***Compliance***. Customer must ensure that
all use of the Services by Customer and its End Users complies
with this Agreement including the Acceptable Use Policy.
3.2 ***Customer Domain
Name Ownership***. Prior to providing the
Services, Google may verify that Customer owns or controls the
Customer Domain Name(s). Customer must own or control the
Customer Domain Name(s) throughout the Term. If Customer does
not own or control the Customer Domain Name(s) and a domain
registration is required for provisioning of any Services,
Google will have no obligation to provide Customer with the
applicable Services. Customer must notify Google immediately if
Customer ceases to own or control any Customer Domain Name(s),
and will be solely responsible for any unauthorised access
resulting from any delay or failure in providing such
notification to Google.
3.3 ***Customer
Administration of the Services***. As between
Google and Customer, Customer is solely responsible for the
internal management and administration of Customer’s Services,
including: (a) designating one (or more) Administrator(s)
through the Admin Console; (b) maintaining the confidentiality
of Customer’s password(s) and Admin Account(s); (c) designating
those individuals who are authorised to access the Admin
Account(s); (d) ensuring that all activities connected with the
Admin Account(s) comply with the Agreement; and (e) monitoring,
responding to and otherwise processing emails sent to the
“abuse” and “postmaster” aliases for Customer Domain Names,
although Google may also monitor emails sent to these aliases to
allow Google to identify Services abuse.
3.4 ***Administrator
Access; End User Consent*.**
a. ***Administrator
Access***. Administrators will have the ability
to access all of Customer’s End User Accounts, including the
ability to access, monitor, use, modify, withhold, or disclose
any data available to End Users associated with their End User
Accounts.
b. ***Reseller as
Administrator***. If Customer orders Services via
Reseller, Reseller may have Administrator access to Customer’s
Account and Customer’s End User Accounts. As between Google and
Customer, Customer is solely responsible for: (i) any access by
Reseller to Customer’s Account or Customer’s End User Accounts;
and (ii) defining in the Reseller Agreement any rights or
obligations as between Reseller and Customer with respect to
such access and the Services.
c. ***End User
Consent***. Customer will obtain and maintain all
required consents from End Users to allow: (i) Administrators to
have the access described in this Agreement; and (ii) Google’s
provision of the Services to Administrators and End Users.
3.5 ***Notification Email
Address***. Customer must keep its Notification
Email Address current and valid throughout the Term. Google will
use the Notification Email Address as the primary way of
communicating information to Customer about the Services,
including in relation to updates, Data Incidents (as defined in
the Data Processing Amendment (if applicable)), Suspensions and
other matters that may affect Customer’s access to or use of the
Services. Customer’s failure to keep its Notification Email
Address current and valid throughout the Term may result in
Customer not receiving important information about its or its
End Users’ access to or use of the Services, including
information relating to the termination of Customer’s Account.
3.6 ***Unauthorised
Use***. Customer must use reasonable endeavours
to prevent and terminate any unauthorised access to or use of
the Services. Unless otherwise permitted by Google in writing,
Customer may only authorise one individual (not an automated
tool) to use each End User Account. If Customer becomes aware of
any unauthorised access to or use of the Services, Customer must
notify Google as soon as reasonably practicable.
3.7 ***Restrictions on
Use***. Except to the extent expressly permitted
in this Agreement or otherwise specifically agreed by Google in
writing, Customer must not, and must use reasonable endeavours
to make sure a third party does not: (a) sell, resell or lease
the Services to a third party or otherwise make the Services
available on a paid basis to a third party; (b) attempt to
reverse engineer the Services or any component of the Services
except as permitted by law; (c) attempt to create a substitute
or similar service through use of, or access to, the Services;
(d) use the Services for High Risk Activities; (e) use the
Services to store, process or transfer any Customer Data that is
controlled for export under Export Control Laws.
4. **Payment**.
4.1 ***Orders via
Reseller***. If Customer orders the Services from
Reseller: (a) any payments will be made directly to Reseller
pursuant to the Reseller Agreement; (b) the remaining provisions
in this Section 4 (Payment) will not apply; (c) Google will
provide to Reseller any refunds or credits that may be due in
respect of Customer; and (d) any obligation on the part of
Reseller to provide any such refunds or credits to Customer will
depend on the terms of the Reseller Agreement.
4.2 ***Direct
Orders***.
a.
***Pricing***. Access to and use of certain
Services may require the payment of Fees. Pricing for Services
may also vary depending on Customer’s geographic location.
Google may monitor the geographic location(s) from where
Customer uses the Services to confirm that the appropriate
pricing was used to calculate Fees charged by Google. If Google
discovers that Customer is not paying the appropriate Fees,
Google will notify Customer, and reserves the right to charge
Customer the appropriate Fees.
b. ***Fees and
Invoicing***. All Fees invoices by Google to
Customer for the Services are due thirty (30) days from the
invoice date. Customer will be invoiced or, in the case of debit
or credit card payment, automatically charged in advance for the
next billing cycle, as determined by the payment plan selected
in an Order Form. Customer hereby authorises any automatic
charges and/or debits by Google debit or credit card purchases.
All payments due are in the currency and via the mode of payment
indicated on the applicable Order Form or applicable invoice.
c. ***Payment
Plans***. Google may make several payment plans
available to a Customer for a particular order, as described in
the Order Form terms. The payment plan selected by Customer for
any order will be described in the relevant Order Form. Google
reserves the right to offer additional or alternative payment
plan options for new orders in the Order Form terms presented at
the time of purchase.
4.3 ***Overdue
Payments**; **Interest***. Fees will
be overdue if not paid within thirty (30) days from the invoice
date or, in the case of debit or credit card payment, within
thirty (30) days from the date Google has initially attempted to
charge Customer. Google may charge interest at the rate of 2%
per annum above the base rate of Barclays Bank PLC from time to
time, from the due date until the date of actual payment,
whether before or after judgment, on any amount that is overdue
under this Agreement. Google may also charge Customer for
Google’s reasonable expenses (including legal fees) incurred by
Google in collecting unpaid or overdue amounts, except where
these amounts are due to billing inaccuracies attributable to
Google. For clarity, if any Fees owed by Customer are overdue,
Google may suspend or terminate all of the Services under
Section 11.1 (Termination for Cause).
4.4 ***Purchase
Orders***. If Customer requires a purchase order
number on its invoices, Customer will inform Google and Google
will include such purchase order number on invoices following
receipt. If Customer does not provide a purchase order number:
(a) Customer waives any purchase order number requirement; (b)
Google will invoice Customer without a purchase order number;
and (c) Customer agrees to pay invoices without a purchase order
number referenced. Any terms and conditions on a purchase order
do not apply to Customer’s purchase of, access to, or use of the
Services, will not amend this Agreement, and are null and void.
4.5
***Taxes***. Customer is responsible for any
Taxes, and Customer will pay Google for the Services without any
reduction for taxes. If under applicable tax legislation the
Services are subject to local VAT and Customer is required to
make a withholding of local VAT from amounts payable to Google:
(a) the value of the Services calculated in accordance with the
above procedure will be increased (i.e. grossed up) by Customer
for the amount of local VAT and the grossed up amount will be
regarded as a VAT-inclusive price; and (b) Customer will remit
the local VAT amount to be withheld from the VAT-inclusive price
to the applicable local tax authority and will ensure that
Google receives payment for the Services equal to the same net
amount as would otherwise have been due (i.e. Customer will
ensure that Google receives the VAT-inclusive price less the
local VAT withheld and remitted to the applicable tax
authority).If Google is obliged to collect or remit Taxes
imposed on Customer, the Taxes will be invoiced to Customer,
unless Customer provides Google with a timely and valid tax
exemption certificate (or other documentation as required for
the exemption) authorised by the appropriate taxing authority.
4.6 ***Invoice
Disputes***. Any invoice disputes must be
submitted prior to the invoice due date and Customer agrees
that, after such date, any claims relating to inaccurate or
improperly issued invoices will be waived.
4.7
***Credits***. Google will issue a credit to
Customer to the extent any billing inaccuracies are attributable
to Google. If the disputed invoice has not yet been paid, Google
will apply the credit amount to the disputed invoice and
Customer will be responsible for paying the resulting net
balance due on that invoice.
5.** Suspension of Accounts or Services.**
5.1 ***Misuse of End User
Accounts***. If Google becomes aware of an End
User’s violation of this Agreement, then Google may request that
Customer take action to cure the violation, including Suspending
the violating End User Account. If Customer fails to take prompt
action or cure the violation, then Google may Suspend the
violating End User Account until the violation has been cured.
5.2 ***Emergency Security
Issues***. Notwithstanding Section 5.1 (Misuse of
End User Accounts) above, if there is an Emergency Security
Issue, then Google may, without prior notice, Suspend the
applicable End User Account(s). Suspension will be to the
minimum extent and of the minimum duration required to end,
resolve, prevent the recurrence of, or mitigate the effects of,
the Emergency Security Issue. If Google Suspends an End User
Account due to an Emergency Security Issue, then at Customer’s
request, Google will inform Customer the reason for the
Suspension as soon as is reasonably possible.
5.3 ***Suspension to
Comply with Laws***. Google may Suspend the
provision of any Services at any time if Google in its sole
discretion considers it necessary to do so to comply with any
applicable law.
6. **Confidential Information**.
6.1 ***Protection of
Confidential Information***. The recipient
(“Recipient”) of Confidential Information disclosed by the other
party (the “Provider”) will not disclose that information except
as described in Section 6.2 (Disclosure of Confidential
Information). The Recipient will use the Provider’s Confidential
Information only to exercise rights and fulfill obligations
under this Agreement, while using reasonable care to keep it
confidential.
6.2 ***Disclosure of
Confidential Information***.
a.
***General***. Subject to the remainder of
this Section 6.2, the Provider’s Confidential Information may be
disclosed: (i) by the Recipient to its Affiliates, Reseller
(where applicable), employees, agents, sub-contractors or
professional advisors who need to know it and who have a legal
obligation to keep it confidential (collectively, “Delegates”);
(ii) by the Recipient or its Affiliates pursuant to a Legal
Process; or (iii) with the Provider’s written consent. The
Recipient will ensure that its Delegates are subject to the same
non-disclosure and use obligations as apply to the Recipient
under Section 6.1 (Protection of Confidential Information).
b.
***Notification***. Before the Provider’s
Confidential Information is disclosed pursuant to a Legal
Process as described in Section 6.2a, the Recipient will, or
will ensure that its Affiliate will, use commercially reasonable
endeavours to promptly notify the Provider (via the Notification
Email Address, in the case of notices given by Google), provided
however that the Recipient or its Affiliate may disclose the
Provider’s Confidential Information pursuant to a Legal Process
without giving prior notice if the Recipient or its Affiliate is
informed that (i) it is legally prohibited from giving notice;
or (ii) the Legal Process relates to exceptional circumstances
involving danger of death or serious physical injury to any
person.
6.3
***Opposition***. The Recipient will
cooperate with the Provider’s reasonable requests relating to
efforts to oppose disclosure of its Confidential Information.
7. **Intellectual Property Rights; Brand
Features**.
7.1 ***Intellectual
Property Rights***. Except as stated in this
Agreement, this Agreement does not grant either party any
rights, implied or otherwise, to any of the other party’s
content, technology or intellectual property. As between the
parties, Customer owns all Intellectual Property Rights in
Customer Data and Google owns all Intellectual Property Rights
in the Services.
7.2 ***Display of Brand
Features***. Google may display only those
Customer Brand Features authorised by Customer (by uploading its
Brand Features into the Services) within designated areas of the
Service Pages. Customer may specify the nature of this use using
the Admin Console. Google may also display Google Brand Features
on the Service Pages to indicate that the Services are provided
by Google. Subject to Sections 7.3 (Brand Features Limitation)
and 8 (Publicity), neither party may display or use the other
party’s Brand Features beyond what is allowed in this Agreement
without the other party’s prior written consent.
7.3 ***Brand Features
Limitation***. Any use of a party’s Brand
Features will inure to the benefit of the party holding
Intellectual Property Rights in those Brand Features. A party
may revoke the other party’s right to use its Brand Features
pursuant to this Agreement with written notice to the other and
a reasonable period to stop the use.
8. **Publicity**. In connection with Customer’s
use of the Services, (a) Customer may state publicly that it is
a Google customer and display Google Brand Features consistent
with the Trademark Guidelines; and (b) Google may: (i) orally
state that Customer is a Google customer; and (ii) include
Customer’s name or Customer Brand Features in a list of Google
customers in Google’s online or offline promotional materials.
Neither party needs approval if it is using the other party’s
name or Brand Features in a manner that is substantially similar
to a previously approved manner. For clarity, this section is
subject to Section 7.3 (Brand Features Limitation).
9. **Warranties and Disclaimers**.
9.1 ***Customer
Warranties***. Customer warrants that:
a. it has full power and authority

any conditions, warranties or other terms relating to any
Services or to any other goods or services or any information
supplied by Google under this Agreement, unless such conditions,
warranties or terms are expressly set out in this Agreement. For
clarity, and subject to Section 13.1b, no implied conditions,
warranties or other terms apply, including any implied terms as
to satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose of conformance with
description.
10. **Term**.
10.1 ***Agreement Term;
Auto-Renewal***. This Agreement will remain in
effect for the Initial Term. At the end of the Initial Term and
if Customer ordered the Services directly from Google, this
Agreement will automatically renew for consecutive terms of
twelve months (each a “Renewal Term”), unless either party
provides the other party with written notice of its decision not
to renew at least 30 days before the beginning of the Renewal
Term, in which case this Agreement will expire at the end of the
then-current Term.
10.2 ***Purchases During
Term***. Unless the parties agree otherwise in
writing, End User Accounts purchased during any Term will have a
prorated term ending on the last day of that Term.
10.3 ***Requesting
Additional End User Accounts During Term***.
Customer may request additional End User Accounts during a Term
by contacting its designated Google Account Manager or Reseller,
as applicable. For each purchase of additional End User Accounts
during a Term, Google or the Reseller (as applicable), and
Customer will execute an additional Order Form reflecting the
purchase.
10.4 ***Renewal
Pricing***. If Customer ordered the Services
directly from Google: (a) any renewal of the Services will be
subject to the then-current list price(s) applicable for such
Services; and (b) Google will notify Customer of any increase in
the list price(s) applicable to such Services at least thirty
days prior to the start of the Customer’s renewal date.
11. **Termination; Refunds**.
11.1 ***Termination for
Cause***. Subject to the remainder of this
Section 11 (Termination; Refunds), either party may terminate
this Agreement if: (a) the other party is in material breach of
this Agreement where the breach is capable of being cured, and
fails to cure that breach within thirty days after receipt of
written notice of the breach; or (b) if the other party is in
material breach of this Agreement where the breach is incapable
of being cured; (c) the other party is in material breach of
this Agreement (as notified) more than two times notwithstanding
any cure of such breaches; or (d) if Google has not received
payment of any overdue Fees within sixty (60) days from the
invoice date, or in the case of debit or credit card payments,
within thirty (30) days from the date of purchase. Where Google
has the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section,
Google may also suspend or terminate all or any part of the
Services for as long as such termination right applies.
11.2 ***Termination for
Insolvency***. Unless prohibited by applicable
law, either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon
written notice if the other party cannot pay its debts as they
become due, enters into an arrangement or composition with or
for the benefit of its creditors; goes into administration,
receivership. Administrative receivership or liquidation, is
declared bankrupt or insolvent, or is dissolved or otherwise
ceases business operations. Where Google has the right to
terminate this Agreement under this Section, Google may also
suspend or terminate all or any part of the Services for as long
as such termination right applies.
11.3 ***Termination for
Suspension or Force Majeure***. Either party may
terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice if
either of the following continues for more than thirty (30)
days: (a) any Suspension under Section 5.3 (Suspension to Comply
with Laws); or (b) failure or delay in performance as described
in Section 15.5 (Force Majeure).
11.4 ***Termination
related to Infringement Allegation or
Proceeding***. If Google notifies Customer that
Google does not consider the remedies described in Section 12.5
(Remedies) to be commercially reasonable in the circumstances,
or if such remedies are not provided within ninety (90) days of
an injunction, either party may terminate this Agreement by
providing thirty (30) days prior written notice and a refund may
be due in respect of Customer as described in Section 11.7
(Refunds).
11.5 ***Termination
related to Anti-Bribery Laws***. Google may
terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to
Customer if Google believes, in good faith, that Customer has
violated or caused Google to violate any Anti-Bribery Laws, or
that such a violation is reasonably likely to occur.
11.6 ***Effects of
Termination***. If this Agreement terminates or
expires, then: (a) the rights granted by one party to the other
will cease as of the effective date of termination or expiry
(except as set forth in this Section 11 (Termination; Refunds)
and Section 15.12 (Survival)); (b) Customer will not have access
to, or the ability to export, the Customer Data after the
effective date of termination or expiry of the Agreement and

Google will delete Customer Data as described in the Data
Processing Amendment (if applicable); and (d) upon request each
party will promptly use reasonable endeavours to return or

Customer Data) of the other party.
11.7
***Refunds***. Subject to Sections 4.1(c)
and 4.1(d), if this Agreement is terminated under Section
11.3(a) or 11.4, then upon Customer’s request, Google will
provide a pro-rata refund, either to Reseller (if Customer
ordered the Services from Reseller) or to Customer (if Customer
ordered the Services directly from Google), of any unearned fees
already paid to Google as of the effective termination date.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, termination under any other
section of this Agreement (including the Data Processing
Amendment (if applicable)) will not oblige Google to refund any
fees, nor relieve Customer of any obligation under Section 4
(Payment) to pay such part of Customer’s annual commitment (if
any) as may remain unpaid as of the effective date of
termination.
12. **Indemnity**.
12.1 ***Google
Indemnification Obligations***. Subject to
Section 12.4 (Conditions), Google will indemnify Customer and
any of its Affiliates participating under this Agreement
(“Customer Indemnified Parties”), against Indemnified
Liabilities to the extent arising from alleged infringement of

Indemnified Parties' use in accordance with this Agreement of
Google's technology (excluding any open source software) used to
provide the Services or of Google's Brand Features.
12.2 ***Customer
Indemnification Obligations***. Subject to
Section 12.4 (Conditions), Customer will indemnify Google and
its Affiliates (“Google Indemnified Parties”) against
Indemnified Liabilities to the extent arising from alleged

Customer’s or an End User’s use of the Services in violation of
the Acceptable Use Policy.
12.3

Features with materials not provided by the indemnifying party.
12.4

the Services might infringe a third party’s Intellectual
Property Rights, then Google may, at its sole option and

the Services; (ii) modify the Services to make them
non-infringing without materially reducing their functionality;
or (iii) replace the Services with a non-infringing,
functionally equivalent alternative.
b. If Google does not believe the
remedies in Section 12.5a are commercially reasonable, then
Google may suspend or terminate Customer’s use of the impacted
Services.
12.6 **Sole Rights and
Obligations**. Without affecting any termination rights
under Section 11 (Termination; Refunds) or refund rights under
Section 11.7 (Refunds), and subject to Section 13 (Limitation of
Liability), this Section 12 states the parties’ only rights and
obligations under this Agreement relating to third party
allegations of Intellectual Property Rights infringement and to
Third-Party Legal Proceedings.
13. **Limitation of Liability**.
13.1 Nothing in this Agreement
shall exclude or limit either party’s liability for:
a. death or personal injury
resulting from the negligence of either party or their servants,
agents or employees;
b. fraud or fraudulent
misrepresentation;
c. breach of any implied condition
as to title or quiet enjoyment;
d. payment of applicable Fees for

e. any other matter for which
liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
13.2 Except to the extent this
Agreement states otherwise, nothing in this Agreement shall

such party and its Affiliates: (a) the party subject to such
change of control will provide written notice to the other party
within thirty (30) days after the change of control; and (b) the

Beneficiaries***. Except to the extent this
Agreement states otherwise, there are no other third-party
beneficiaries to this Agreement. For clarity, Google LLC is a

(contractual or non-contractual) concerning this Agreement or

representation or warranty (whether made negligently or
innocently), except those expressly set out in this Agreement.
