General Software Terms. The following terms apply to all Software:
1. License. Google grants Customer a royalty-free (unless otherwise stated by Google), non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license during the Term to reproduce and use the Software ordered by Customer on systems owned, operated, or managed by or on behalf of Customer in accordance with (i) the Agreement, and (ii) if applicable, the Scope of Use. Customer may authorize its and its Affiliates' employees, agents, and subcontractors (collectively, “Software Users”) to use the Software in accordance with this section (License), so long as Customer remains responsible. Customer may make a reasonable number of copies of the Software for back-up and archival purposes. For clarity, Software does not constitute Services.
2. Documentation. Google may provide Documentation describing the appropriate operation of the Software, including a description of how Software is properly used, and whether and how the Software collects and processes data. Customer will comply with any restrictions in the Documentation regarding Software use.
3. Compliance With Scope of Use. Within 30 days of Google’s reasonable written request, Customer will provide a sufficiently detailed written report describing its usage in accordance with the applicable Scope of Use of each Software product used by Customer and its Software Users during the requested period.

  If Google breaches this warranty, then Google will, in its discretion, repair or replace the impacted Premium Software at no additional charge. If Google does not believe that repairing or replacing would be commercially reasonable, then Google will notify Customer and (A) Customer will immediately cease use of the impacted Premium Software and (B) Google will refund or credit any prepaid amounts for the impacted Premium Software and Customer will be relieved of any then-current commitment to pay for future use of the impacted Premium Software. Without limiting the parties’ termination rights, this section (Software Warranty) states Customer’s sole remedy for Google’s breach of the warranty in this section (Software Warranty).

2. Data Refresh. Customer will not treat a URL from Google’s list as an unsafe web resource, such as by showing users a warning about the site or blocking access to it, unless the applicable Customer Application has received from Google updated information (via the applicable API method) before the expiration time provided by the applicable API response or within 30 minutes if no expiration time is specified.
3. Advisory Notice. Google works to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information about unsafe web resources, but cannot guarantee that its information is comprehensive and error-free: some risky sites may not be identified, and some safe sites may be identified in error.
4. Submissions API. The Web Risk Submissions API provides Customer with the ability to voluntarily submit to Google URLs Customer suspects are unsafe (“Submitted URLs”). Google may use Submitted URLs to provide, maintain, protect and improve Google's products and services, including Google's list of unsafe web resources. Google may also share Submitted URLs with third parties, including other Google customers and users. Submitted URLs are not Customer Confidential Information or Customer Data.

Migration

Transfer Appliance Service. In performing the Transfer Appliance Service, Google will attempt to provide Customer with the requested Transfer Appliance model, subject to availability. Google will provide technical support for the Transfer Appliance Service only as described in the Documentation. Google may use Subprocessors (as defined in the Data Processing and Security Terms) in providing the Transfer Appliance Service. The Transfer Appliance Materials are at all times owned by Google, with no transfer of title to Customer.

In case of cross-border shipments of Transfer Appliance Materials, Customer may be responsible for export clearance, Google may designate a carrier to act as Customer's agent with the relevant customs and tax authorities to import or export the Transfer Appliance Materials, and Customer will cooperate with Google and its carrier, including providing export classification information and acting as the importer or exporter of record.

While Transfer Appliance Materials are in its control, Customer is responsible for any loss or damage and will use appropriate security measures to protect them. Customer will not permit any Transfer Appliance Materials to leave the U.S. state or non-U.S. country to which they were shipped (except as directed in writing by Google or its Subprocessors).

As part of the Transfer Appliance Service, Google may temporarily move the applicable Customer Data to a staging bucket within a Google-owned project accessible to Customer and shortly after delete such Customer Data from the Transfer Appliance Materials. Completion of Customer's decompression and decryption of such Customer Data (or failure to do so within a reasonable number of days specified by Google) will constitute an instruction to Google to delete the applicable Customer Data from the staging bucket. Customer is solely responsible, under its own Project, for any virtual machine instance and destination buckets in which Customer desires to decompress and decrypt the applicable Customer Data.

Proper functioning of the Transfer Appliance Service is highly dependent on Customer's computing environment. Customer's sole remedy in connection with any unsuccessful attempt to complete the Transfer Appliance Service is for Google to use reasonable efforts to re-perform the Transfer Appliance Service.

Renewal. Unless otherwise stated in the Admin Console or other documentation, at the end of each Committed Unit Term, the Committed Unit selection will automatically renew for the same Committed Unit Term at the same quantity throughout the Term until Customer selects in the Admin Console to stop renewing or either party notifies the other party in writing to cancel the renewal.
Cancellation and Expiration. Committed Unit purchases may not be cancelled or refunded after they are placed, but if Google serves notice to non-renew the Agreement, terminates the Agreement (other than for Customer's material breach), or discontinues providing the Services applicable to the Committed Units, Google will refund Customer any unused prepaid Fees following the expiration or termination of the Agreement, or discontinuance of the relevant Services, as applicable.

Cancellation. Unless otherwise specified in the Subscription Details, Customer may not terminate a Subscription Offering before the end of the Subscription Term. If a particular Subscription Offering is indicated as terminable in the Subscription Details, then Customer may terminate the Subscription Offering before the expiration of the Subscription Term, and Google may charge a termination fee (“Termination Fee”), as specified in the Subscription Details. Further, Customer may be required to give extended notice before termination of any Subscription Offering, as specified in the Subscription Details. Notwithstanding any term to the contrary in the Agreement, (i) if Customer has entered into a Google Cloud Platform Order Form under the Agreement for the purchase of Services on an on-demand basis, then the Subscription Term will also terminate immediately upon termination of such Google Cloud Platform Order Form (and Customer will be charged the Termination Fee, if applicable), and (ii) upon termination of the Subscription Term, Customer may continue to use Google Cloud Platform, and pricing for the Service(s) or Software that are part of the Subscription Offering will be as stated at the Fees URL or as otherwise agreed by the parties (if available on a non-subscription basis).
