1.1. Marketplace Eligibility. The Marketplace is an online marketplace where vendors may list products for purchase, procurement, deployment, and use by GCP customers. To participate in the Marketplace, You must open and maintain a Vendor Account and Payment Account and provide all information requested by Google to approve You to participate in the Marketplace.

1.2. Submission and Review of Products and Other Vendor Materials. You will submit Products You wish to list on the Marketplace and all related Listing Materials, Vendor Brand Features, and Product EULAs (collectively, inclusive of Products, “Vendor Materials”) as required by Google and will keep Vendor Materials current. Google may approve or reject Vendor Materials for the Marketplace in its discretion. Without limiting the foregoing, in order to make a Product available through the Marketplace, You must:

(a) submit the Product for initial review and approval by Google in accordance with Google’s standard Marketplace listing process;

(b) comply at all times with the Listing Requirements applicable to the Product and ensure that each transaction for the Product on the Marketplace complies with those Listing Requirements; and

(c) promptly (but no later than 30 days following the change) notify Google and submit the Product for Google’s re-review if You make a change to the Product that: (i) results in the Product no longer complying with the Listing Requirements; or (ii) renders any of the supporting documentation provided by You to verify compliance with the Listing Requirements inaccurate or untrue.

1.3. Approval for Listing Products. If Google approves Your Product for listing on the Marketplace, Google will provide You with a Product Validation Letter for the Product. By listing Your Product on the Marketplace, You agree to the terms and conditions of the Product Validation Letter applicable to the Product.

1.3.1. Pre-Approval for Existing Products. If Your Product was listed on the Marketplace prior to the Effective Date, then, subject to Section 1.3.2 (Reapproval for Modified Products), Section 3.7 (Verification of Listing Requirements), and 14.1 (Modifications), (a) unless otherwise requested by Google, You will not be required to submit Your Product for approval in accordance with Section 1.2(a); and (b) the percentage used for Vendor Net Revenue for such Product will be deemed to be the percentage used in the definition of “Revenue Split” under Your prior version of this Agreement.

1.3.2. Reapproval for Modified Products. If You make a change to the Product and submit the Product for Google re-review pursuant to Section 1.2(c), Google will re-review the Product and if approved, Google will provide You a new Product Validation Letter for the Product.

2.1. Appointment of Payment Agent. For Customer purchases of Your Products in the jurisdictions listed at https://cloud.google.com/terms/marketplace-agency-jurisdictions (“Agency Jurisdictions Page”), You (a) hereby appoint Google and/or the applicable Google Affiliate set forth at the Agency Jurisdictions Page as Your authorized payment agent to act on Your behalf for the limited purpose of receiving, processing and settling payments due to You for Customers’ purchases of Your Products through the Marketplace (“Payment Agent”); (b) acknowledge that the Payment Agent will (i) receive on Your behalf amounts that Customers pay when they purchase, procure, deploy, or use Your Products through the Marketplace, (ii) process purchases, returns, and chargebacks arising out of Customers’ purchases of Your Products through the Marketplace, and (iii) pay You the Vendor Net Revenue in accordance with Section 3 (Commercial Terms); and (c) You acknowledge that payment received by the Payment Agent (including authorization of the payment by the issuer or account holding institution) will constitute payment to You, and Customer’s payment obligation for Your Product will be deemed completed and discharged at that time.

2.2. Merchant of Record Transactions. For Customer purchases of Your Products through the Marketplace in jurisdictions not listed at the Agency Jurisdictions Page, Google is the merchant of record and Your reseller for such transactions. Please see Section 13 (Google as Merchant of Record) for additional terms related to such transactions.

3.1. Product Pricing. Subject to Section 13 (Google as Merchant of Record), You will set prices for Products on the Marketplace through the mechanism Google makes available, provided that any price changes for Subscription Products will not become effective during any Customer’s then-current subscription term for the Subscription Product.

3.2. Payment Terms. Google will, on or before the last business day of each calendar month during the Term, pay You the Vendor Net Revenue for the previous calendar month. All payments of the Vendor Net Revenue will be made directly to the Payment Account. Payments will be transferred by the ACH Network (or by other means determined by Google). Google will not be obligated to make a payment if the Vendor Net Revenue due at the time is less than $100.00 USD or foreign currency equivalent. Such unpaid Vendor Net Revenue will carry over and be included in the Vendor Net Revenue for the following calendar month. In no event will Google be obligated to make payments for any balance less than $1.00 USD or foreign currency equivalent.

3.3. Reports. On a monthly basis during the Term, Google will provide You with reports related to Customer purchases of Products in the form generally made available to other Marketplace vendors.

3.4. Refunds. Subject to Section 13 (Google as Merchant of Record), Google may provide Customers a refund of Customer Charges solely (a) as directed by You; (b) if the charges fall within clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of Net Revenue Exclusions; (c) as required by Google’s agreement with the Customer governing the Customer’s purchase of the applicable Product; or (d) pursuant to Sections 12.4 (Compliance Terminations) and/or 12.5.1.

3.6. Taxes.

3.6.1. U.S. Customers. Taxes are not included in the Vendor Net Revenue paid to You relating to purchases of Products by Customers located within the United States.

3.6.3. Tax Withholding. If Google is legally required to withhold any Taxes, Google will pay You net of the withheld taxes. Google will timely provide You with withholding certificates, tax information returns, or other legally required documentation showing the amounts of any reportable payments and amounts withheld (if any).

3.6.4. Transaction Taxes. Subject to Section 13 (Google as Merchant of Record), if You are legally obligated to collect transaction Taxes, such as VAT or GST, on sales of Products to Customers, You will notify Google of this requirement.

3.7.2. Grace Period for Non Compliant Products and Transactions. If Google becomes aware that any Product listed on the Marketplace (or any transaction for a Product through the Marketplace) is not in compliance with any of the Listing Requirements, Google will notify You of such noncompliance. You will have a 60-day grace period beginning from the date on which the notice of noncompliance was sent to You (“Grace Period”) to bring the non-compliant Product or transaction into compliance with the Listing Requirements and obtain Google’s written confirmation that the non-compliance issue has been remediated for the Product or transaction (as applicable) (“Remediation Confirmation”).

3.7.3. Remediation. If You do not obtain the Remediation Confirmation within the Grace Period, then notwithstanding the Vendor Net Revenue applicable to the Product, Google may decrease the Vendor Net Revenue to 80% of the Net Revenue for such Product or non-compliant transaction, as applicable, on a go-forward basis until You bring the non-compliant Product or transaction into compliance with the Listing Requirements and obtain the Remediation Confirmation. Once the Remediation Confirmation has been provided to You, Google will restore the Vendor Net Revenue percentage to the percentage in place prior to the reduction in accordance with this Section 3.7.3 for such Product or affected transaction, as applicable, on a go-forward basis.

You acknowledge that GCP Resellers may purchase Your Products through the Marketplace and resell those Products to Resold Customers.

Except where prohibited by Applicable Laws, when this Agreement is terminated or a Product is removed from the Marketplace, a wind down period will apply as to any Product that was purchased by a Customer before the date of termination or removal, as applicable. The “Wind Down Period” for each affected Product will begin on the date of termination or Product removal, as applicable, and end (a) for non-Subscription Products, six months after such date and (b) for Subscription Products, on the date that the last Customer subscription term for such Product expires or terminates. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (i) Google can elect not to apply a Wind Down Period if Google terminates this Agreement pursuant to clause (b) of Section 12.2 (Termination), (ii) Google may terminate the Wind Down Period if any of the circumstances set forth in clause (b) of Section 12.2 (Termination) occurs during the Wind Down Period, and (iii) the parties may mutually agree to terminate the Wind Down Period prior to its expiration.
