To receive the Training Services described below,
Customer agrees to the terms of this Training Terms of
Service (the “Agreement”). Together with an applicable
Order Form, the Agreement governs Customer’s receipt of
Training Services from the Google entity referenced in
the applicable Order Form.

1.** Training Services Terms.**

1.1 Training Services.
After the parties complete and execute an Order Form: (a)
Google will provide the Training Services to Customer and
(b) Customer may use the Training Materials in accordance
with this Agreement and as specified in an Order Form.
Google may subcontract obligations under the Agreement,
including to an Affiliate, but will remain liable to
Customer for any subcontracted obligations.

1.2 Instructor Led
Training. Customer will provide reasonable access to
appropriate facilities for Instructor Led Training
provided at Customer’s facilities. Google is not liable
for a delay caused by Customer’s failure to provide Google
with information, equipment, consents, or access to
Customer facilities, networks or systems required for
Google to perform Training Services.

1.3 Online Training.
Google may offer Training Services or access to Training
Materials online through Google or third party platforms.
Customer and Customer’s End Users’ use of such platforms
may be subject to separate platform use terms.

1.4 Use of Training
Services. Customer must use Training Services within one
(1) year of the applicable Order Form Effective Date.
After one (1) year from the Order Form Effective Date,
Google may invoice Customer for any unused Training
Services on the Order Form. Customer will pay all Fees for
Training Services on an Order Form unless an Order Form
terminates for Google’s material breach or either party’s
insolvency.

1.5 Rescheduling.
Subject to Section 1.4 (Use of Training Services),
Customer may reschedule Instructor Led Training two times
if Customer cancels Instructor Led Training with written
notice more than 10 business days before the scheduled
start date on an Order Form. After two times, unless
otherwise agreed, Google may invoice Customer for the
Instructor Led Training. If Customer cancels any
Instructor Led Training 10 business days or less before
the scheduled start date, Google may invoice Customer in
full for Fees due for the Instructor Led Training.

1.6 Training Materials.
Google will provide Training Materials to Customer’s End
Users in electronic or physical format. Unless otherwise
authorized by Google, Customer may only share Training
Materials with the number of End Users who have been
authorized to receive Training Services under an Order
Form. End Users may use Training Materials during the Term
solely for the purpose of receiving the Training Services.
Training Materials are Google Confidential Information and
may not be shared with any unauthorized party. End Users
may only use Training Materials provided through an online
platform in connection with the End User’s access to the
platform.

2.** Customer Obligations.**

2.1 Consents. Customer
is responsible for any consents and notices required to
permit Customer’s and its End Users’ use and receipt of
the Training Services.

2.2 End User Equipment.
Customer is responsible for ensuring End Users have access
to appropriate equipment, facilities, and networks
necessary to receive the Training Services and access the
Training Materials.

2.3 Compliance. Customer
will (a) ensure that Customer’s and its End Users’ use of
the Training Services complies with the Agreement, (b) use
reasonable efforts to prevent and terminate any
unauthorized access or use of the Training Services, and
(c) promptly notify Google of any unauthorized use of, or
access to, the Training Services of which Customer becomes
aware.

2.4 Use Restrictions.
Customer will not, and will not allow End Users or third
parties under its control to: (a) copy, modify, or create
a derivative work of the Training Services; (b) sell,
resell, sublicense, transfer, or distribute the Training
Services; (c) record the Training Services without
Google’s prior written consent; or (d) access or use the
Training Services in a manner intended to avoid incurring
Fees.

3.** Payment Terms.**

3.1 Payment. Google will
invoice Customer for the Fees. Customer will pay all
invoiced amounts by the Payment Due Date. All payments are
due in the currency stated in the invoice. Wire transfer
payments must include the bank information stated in the
invoice. Fees for some Training Services may be
non-cancellable, as specified on an Order Form.

3.2 Taxes. Google will
itemize any invoiced Taxes. Customer will pay invoiced
Taxes unless Customer provides a valid tax exemption
certificate. Customer may withhold Taxes if Customer
provides a valid receipt evidencing the taxes withheld.

3.3 Invoice Disputes.
Customer must submit any invoice disputes
to collections@google.com
 before
the Payment Due Date. If the parties determine that Fees
were incorrectly invoiced, Google will issue a credit
equal to the agreed amount.

3.4 Overdue Payments.

a. If Customer’s payment is
overdue, then Google may (i) charge interest on overdue
amounts at 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted
by law, if less) from the Payment Due Date until paid in
full, and (ii) Suspend the Training Services or terminate
the applicable Order Form.

b. Customer will reimburse
Google for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’
fees) incurred by Google in collecting overdue payments
except where such payments are due to Google’s billing
inaccuracies.

3.5 Purchase
Orders. If Customer requires a purchase order number
on its invoice, Customer will provide a purchase order
number in the Order Form. If Customer does not provide a
purchase order number, then (a) Google will invoice
Customer without a purchase order number, and (b) Customer
will pay invoices without a purchase order number
referenced. Any terms on a purchase order are void.

4.** Intellectual Property.**

4.1 Intellectual
Property Rights. Except as expressly stated in Section 1.6
(Google Training Materials), the Agreement does not grant
Customer any rights, implied or otherwise, to Google’s
Intellectual Property. Google retains all Intellectual
Property Rights in the Training Services and Training
Materials.

4.2 Feedback. At its
option, Customer may provide feedback and suggestions
about the Training Services to Google (“Feedback”). If
Customer provides Feedback, then Google and its Affiliates
may use that Feedback without restriction and without
obligation to Customer.

5.** Confidentiality.**

Party’s Confidential Information (a) to its Delegates who
have a need to know and who are bound by confidentiality
obligations at least as protective as those in this
Section 5 (Confidentiality); (b) with the Disclosing
Party’s written consent; or (c) as strictly necessary to
comply with Legal Process, provided the Recipient promptly
notifies the Disclosing Party prior to such disclosure
unless the Recipient is legally prohibited from doing so.
The Recipient will comply with the Disclosing Party’s
reasonable requests to oppose disclosure of its
Confidential Information.

5.2 Redirect Disclosure
Request. If the Recipient receives Legal Process for the
Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the Recipient
will first attempt to redirect the third party to request
it from the Disclosing Party directly. To facilitate this
request, the Recipient may provide the Disclosing Party’s
basic contact information to the third party.

party may use the other party’s Brand Features in
connection with this Agreement only as permitted in the
Agreement. Customer may state publicly that it is a Google
customer and display Google Brand Features in accordance

that Customer is a Google customer and (b) include
Customer’s name or Customer Brand Features in a list of
Google customers in Google’s promotional materials.

speaking events, and analyst interviews. A party may
revoke the other party’s right to use its Brand Features
with 30 days’ written notice. Any use of a party’s Brand
Features will inure to the benefit of the party holding
