Each invoice will include data in sufficient detail to allow Customer to validate the Services purchased and associated Fees. If Customer exceeds the number of End Users, Scope of Use, or Deployment Attributes, Customer or Google will, upon becoming aware, promptly notify the other party and the parties agree to discuss in good faith the additional fees due by Customer to Google for such over-deployment. The agreed upon additional fees associated with the over-deployment will be memorialized in a new Order Form.
11.3. Additional Usage. Customer may purchase additional Deployment Attributes (including adding End Users) during an Order Term by executing an additional Order Form. Such purchase will have a pro-rated term ending on the last day of the applicable Order Term. Deployment Attributes cannot be decreased during the Order Term.

11.5. 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, then Google will issue a credit equal to the agreed amount.
11.6. Overdue Payments.
- 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 Services.
- 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.

Any terms on a purchase order are void.
11.9. Services Use Review. On Google's request, but not more than four times per year, Customer will provide to Google a report listing the Deployment Attributes it is using for each Scope of Use (including, if applicable, the number of PBL Users using the Services) and the Instance(s) deployed and related license key(s). If Deployment Attributes are measurable by a ping from Google's license server, the ping will serve as this report. If there is a discrepancy between the Scope of Use or the Deployment Attributes purchased by Customer and Customer's actual usage, Google may, at its expense and not more frequently than once per calendar year, review Customer's records relating to Customer's use of the Services. Any such review will be conducted with prior written notice, during regular business hours at Customer's premises and will not unreasonably interfere with Customer's business. If the review indicates an underpayment, Customer will pay the additional fees associated with the underpayment. If the underpayment is greater than 5% of the amount paid by Customer for the review period, Customer will also pay Google's reasonable expenses of the review.
12. Intellectual Property.
12.1. Intellectual Property Rights. Except as expressly described in this Agreement, the Agreement does not grant either party any rights, implied or otherwise, to the other's content or Intellectual Property. As between the parties, Customer retains all Intellectual Property Rights in Customer Data and Google retains all Intellectual Property Rights in the Services and Software.
12.2. Feedback. At its option, Customer may provide feedback and suggestions about the Services to Google ("Feedback"). If Customer provides Feedback, then Google and its Affiliates may use that Feedback without restriction and without obligation to Customer.
13. Confidentiality.
13.1. Use and Disclosure of Confidential Information. The Recipient will only use the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information to exercise its rights and fulfill its obligations under the Agreement, and will use reasonable care to protect against the disclosure of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Agreement, the Recipient may disclose the Disclosing 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 13 (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.
13.2. 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.
