Google acknowledges and agrees that each of the Hosted Communication Services (as defined herein) are not deemed to be Beta Features as a whole; provided, that certain optional elements of the Hosted Communication Services may be designated as Beta Features if Customer is otherwise able to offer the Hosted Communication Services minus such optional elements without causing a material degradation of the functionality of the Hosted Communication Services.

Confidentiality. “Confidential Information” is information disclosed by one party (“disclosing party”) to the other party (“receiving party”) under this Agreement that is marked as confidential or would normally under the circumstances be considered confidential information of the disclosing party. This Agreement imposes no obligation upon a receiving party with respect to Confidential Information that: (i) is known at the time of the disclosing party’s disclosure thereof to the receiving party; (ii) is, or becomes, publicly known, through no fault of the receiving party subsequent to the time of the disclosing party’s disclosure thereof to the receiving party; (iii) is developed by the receiving party independently of, and without use of, the Confidential Information; (iv) is rightfully obtained by the receiving party from third parties authorized to make such disclosure without restriction; (v) is identified in writing by the disclosing party as no longer proprietary or confidential; or (vi) is required to be disclosed by law, regulation, or court order after giving reasonable notice to the disclosing party.

Those people and entities may use Confidential Information only to exercise rights and fulfill obligations under this Agreement. A receiving party will use the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, as the receiving party uses with respect to its own information of a similar nature to protect the Confidential Information and to prevent: (a) any use of Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement and (b) communication of Confidential Information to any unauthorized third parties. Both parties shall also comply with Rider K (Privacy and Data Protection).

Title, ownership rights, and Intellectual Property Rights in and to the content accessed through the Google products and services are the property of the applicable content owner and may be protected by applicable copyright or other law.

Any rights not expressly granted herein are deemed withheld.
4.3. Brand Features; License Grant.
(a) Brand Features. Each party shall own all right, title and interest, including without limitation all Intellectual Property Rights, relating to its Brand Features.

to the limited extent expressly provided in this Agreement, neither party grants, and the other party shall not acquire, any right, title or interest (including, without limitation, any implied license) in or to any Brand Features of the first party; and all rights not expressly granted herein are deemed withheld. All use by Google of Customer Brand Features (including any goodwill associated therewith) shall inure to the benefit of Customer and all use by Customer of Google Brand Features (including any goodwill associated therewith) shall inure to the benefit of Google.

(b) License to Google Brand Features. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Google’s prior written approval, Google grants to Customer a limited, nonexclusive and nonsublicensable license during the Term to display those Google Brand Features (i) expressly authorized for use in this Agreement solely for the purposes expressly set forth herein or (ii) as otherwise approved by Google. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Google may reasonably revoke the license granted herein to use Google’s Brand Features upon providing Customer with written notice thereof and a reasonable period of time to cease such usage. Furthermore, in its use of any Google Brand Feature, Customer agrees to adhere to Google’s then current Brand Feature use guidelines, which may be found at the following URL: http://www.google.com/permissions/guidelines.html and Google Mobile Branding Guidelines at http://www.google.com/wssynd/mobile_guidelines.html (or such other URLs Google may provide from time to time).
(c) License to Customer Brand Features. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Customer grants to Google a limited, nonexclusive and nonsublicensable license during the Term to display those Customer Brand Features (i) expressly authorized for use in this Agreement solely for the purposes expressly set forth herein or (ii) or as otherwise approved by Customer. Furthermore, in its use of any Customer Brand Feature, Google agrees to adhere to Customer’s then current Brand Feature use guidelines, if Google is notified of the existence of such Brand Feature use guidelines in writing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event Google materially fails to comply with Customer’s Brand Feature use guidelines and Google fails to correct such improper usage within three (3) days after Customer provides written notice of the improper usage, Customer may revoke the license granted herein to use Customer’s Brand Features upon providing Google with written notice thereof.
5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer. Each party represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to enter into the Agreement and that the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance of its obligations hereunder, shall not constitute a breach or default of or otherwise violate any agreement to which either party is a party on the Effective Date. Except for the covenants in any of the applicable Riders, Google does not warrant that the Google products and services shall meet all of Customer’s requirements or that performance of the Google products and services shall be uninterrupted, virus-free, secure or error-free. Except as expressly provided for herein, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY OTHER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
6. Indemnification.
6.1. Google Indemnity. (a) Google will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer and its respective directors, officers, agents, employees (collectively, “Customer Indemnitees”) from any third party lawsuit or proceeding brought against a Customer Indemnitee based upon or otherwise arising out of [*****]. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Google have any obligations or liability under this Section to the extent arising from: [*****]. (c) To the extent that Google reasonably believes that any of the Google Applications and Google Services infringe the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party, Google will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) replace the Google Applications and Google Services with substantially equivalent services; (ii) modify the Google Applications and Google Services so that they become non-infringing; or (iii) obtain all necessary licenses to permit Customer to continue using the Google Applications and Google Services as contemplated hereunder at no additional cost to Customer. If Google can not accomplish the foregoing after using commercially reasonable efforts, Google reserves the right to terminate, upon written notice to Customer, Customer’s continued use of any Google Applications and Google Services which are alleged or reasonably believed by Google to infringe but only to the extent necessary to avoid any applicable infringement. [*****].
6.2. Customer Indemnity. (a) Customer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless, Google and its respective directors, officers, agents, employees (collectively, “Google Indemnitees”) from any third party lawsuit or proceeding brought against a Google Indemnitee based upon or otherwise arising out of [*****]. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Customer have any obligations or liability under this Section to the extent arising from: [*****]. (c) To the extent that Customer reasonably believes that any of the Sites or Portals infringe the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party, Customer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) modify the Sites and Portals so that they become non-infringing or (ii) obtain all necessary licenses to permit Customer to continue using the Google products and services as
         
Confidential   Page 5 of 45    

 


 

contemplated hereunder at no additional cost to Google. If Customer can not accomplish the foregoing after using commercially reasonable efforts, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to prevent Customer from suspending or ceasing to provide the Sites or Portals or a portion of the Sites or Portals to Subscribers as necessary to mitigate such infringement (which would have a secondary effect on the provision of Google products and services). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any such suspension or cessation shall not be deemed a breach of any provision of this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, the previous two sentences shall not be interpreted to modify or narrow the Customer’s exclusivity obligations in the Riders.
6.3. General. (a) Indemnification provided under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 shall be limited to (i) payment by the indemnifying party (“Indemnitor”) of all damages and costs finally awarded for such claim, (ii) all interim damages and costs that a court may require Indemnitee to pay for such claim, (iii) settlement costs approved in writing by the Indemnitor, and (iv) costs incurred by the Indemnitor (including attorney fees) in the defense of the claim. (b) The foregoing obligations shall exist only to the extent not prejudiced by any failure of the party seeking indemnification (“Indemnitee”) to: (i) promptly notify the Indemnitor of such claim, (ii) provide the Indemnitor with reasonable information, assistance and cooperation in defending the lawsuit or proceeding, and (iii) give the Indemnitor full control and sole authority over the defense and settlement of such claim; provided, however, that Indemnitor may not settle any claim to the extent there is any acknowledgement of fault of Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent, such written consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (c) As part of providing the reasonable information, assistance and cooperation described in (ii), the Indemnitee shall not be required to incur costs to an outside vendor, unless the Indemnitor agrees to reimburse Indemnitee for such costs. The Indemnitee may join in defense with counsel of its choice at its own expense. The Indemnitor shall only reimburse the Indemnitee for expenses incurred by the Indemnitee with the Indemnitor’s prior written approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnitor declines to assume full control over the defense and settlement of such claim, then Indemnitor shall also be responsible for reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Indemnitee in the defense and settlement of the claim. SECTION 6 STATES THE PARTIES’ ENTIRE LIABILITY AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT OF A THIRD PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AS SET FORTH ABOVE.
7. Limitation of Liability.
7.1. Limitation. SUBJECT TO SECTION 7.2, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING PRODUCTS LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY AND NEGLIGENCE), AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY WAS OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OR ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY STATED HEREIN. SUBJECT TO SECTION 7.2, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT (WHEN AGGREGATED WITH THAT PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR ALL OTHER CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT) EXCEED [*****].
7.2. Exclusions from Limitations.

7.3. Allocation of Risk. The parties agree that the mutual agreements made in this Section 7 reflect a reasonable allocation of risk, and that each party would not enter into the Agreement without these limitations on liability.
8. Taxes and Other Charges. All payments under the Agreement are exclusive of taxes imposed by any governmental entity. Each party shall pay any applicable taxes, including sales, use, personal property, value-added, excise, customs fees, import duties or stamp duties or other taxes and duties imposed by governmental entities of whatever kind and imposed with respect to the transactions for services provided under the Agreement, including penalties and interest, but specifically excluding taxes based upon the other party’s net income.

Each party shall promptly provide the other party with such documentation as may be required by the applicable governmental entity in order for the other party to process payments hereunder (including, without limitation, a valid certificate of Customer’s or Google’s (as applicable) exemption from obligation to pay taxes as

authorized by the appropriate governmental entity), and either party may withhold any payments required to be made hereunder until the other party has provided such documentation. Each party shall promptly provide the other party with original or certified copies of all tax payments or other sufficient evidence of tax payments at the time such payments are made by Customer or Google, as applicable, pursuant to the Agreement.

     (b) Google Permitted Assignment. Notwithstanding Section 9.3(a), Google may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the consent of Customer, to a subsidary of Google. Following an assignment by Google to a subsidiary of Google, Google shall not be relieved of and shall continue to be liable for all the obligations applicable to it hereunder, unless Customer provides written approval for the release of Google’s obligations, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, that the only basis for Customer to withhold such written approval shall be Customer’s reasonable belief that the subsidiary of Google is not sufficiently capitalized or does not have sufficient operational resources to fulfill the financial, indemnification, and other obligations under this Agreement.
     (c) Customer Permitted Assignment. Notwithstanding Section 9.3(a), Customer may assign this Agreement (in whole, but not in part) as part of a change of control (including by way of merger, reverse-triangular merger, consolidation, sale of stock, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets) without the consent of Google; provided, the assignee must deliver to Google a written instrument agreeing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions applicable to Customer; provided further, that if (i) the change of control involves a competitor of Google (as reasonably determined by Google), (ii) Google has a reasonable belief that the assignee is not sufficiently capitalized, or (iii) Google has a reasonable belief that the assignee does not have sufficient operational resources to fulfill the financial, indemnification, and other obligations under this Agreement, then Google may elect to terminate this Agreement without recourse or liability therefor.
9.4. Consultations. Before a party initiates legal action against the other arising from the Agreement (except to seek injunctive or equitable relief or to otherwise protect its Intellectual Property Rights), the matter in controversy shall first be referred to an officer of each party, who shall make good faith and reasonable efforts to resolve the matter.
9.5. Governing Law. The laws of New York, excluding New York’s choice of law rules, and applicable federal U.S. laws shall govern the Agreement. Each party agrees to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the Southern District of New York.

9.6. Equitable Relief. Either party may seek equitable relief, including temporary restraining orders or injunctions, in addition to all other remedies, available at law or under this Agreement.

Customer shall then display, in each instance, the entire AFS Results Set that corresponds to such AFS Query on the applicable AFS Site in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, without editing, filtering, reordering, truncating, adding content to or otherwise modifying such AFS Results Set.
5.2.3. Labeling, Branding and Attribution. Customer shall unambiguously mark each AFS Ad, or each cluster or grouping of AFS Ads, as a “Sponsored Link” or “Sponsored Links,” as the case may be, unless otherwise instructed or agreed by Google.

5.3. License to AFS Protocol. Google grants to Customer a limited, nonexclusive and non-sublicensable license during the Term to use the AFS Protocol solely for the purpose of transmitting AFS Queries and other required information and receiving AFS Result Sets, as applicable, solely to the extent permitted hereunder.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 6 shall apply only to the AdSense for Local Search Services provided in connection with the Local Search Services, and different terms and conditions may apply to any other AdSense Service, including, without limitation, any AdSense for Search (AFS) Service provided in connection with services provided by Google to Customer pursuant to this Rider. If there is a conflict between this Section 6 and a term in this Rider with respect to the AdSense for Local Search Services displayed on the Local Search Sites, then the terms of this Section 6 shall control.

Customer shall not send more than one (1) AFC Request per pageview unless otherwise authorized by Google.

8. [Intentionally Left Blank]
9. Customer Desktop Applications. Customer may not access Google Services in this Rider through a Customer Desktop Application, until and unless Google has given written approval at Google’s sole discretion. If Customer wishes to access Google Services in this Rider through a Customer Desktop Application, then Customer will request approval from Google and provide all reasonable information (about the Customer Desktop Application and how Customer proposes to access, render, and display the Google Services from the Customer Desktop Application) requested by Google to enable Google to evaluate the Customer Desktop Application. Following the initial approval, to the extent that Customer materially changes the way in which the Google Services are accessed, rendered, or displayed in a Customer Desktop Application, Google (i) may review and approve such changes with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (ii) may (in the event Google disapproves of such changes) suspend any continued use of the applicable Google Services from the Customer Desktop Application until such time as Customer implements adequate corrective modifications as reasonably required and determined by Google. Furthermore, Customer agrees to comply with the Google software principles at http://www.google.com/corporate/software_principles.html (as may be updated by Google from time to time) in connection
         
Confidential   Page 18 of 45    

 


 

with any Customer Desktop Applications that are used to access Google Services in this Rider. Google may require Customer to immediately cease accessing Google Services through an approved Customer Desktop Application if Google reasonably believes that Customer is not complying with the Google software principles; provided, if Google requires Customer to cease accessing Google Services, Customer may continue to offer the Customer Desktop Application without the Google Services. Furthermore, for avoidance of doubt, the statements throughout this Rider that require Customer to maintain an implementation of a Google Service with an approved Customer Desktop Application does not mean that Customer has any obligation to continue distributing the approved Customer Desktop Application.
10. Site Modifications. Google will have an initial approval right prior to Customer’s commercial launch with respect to Customer’s implementation of the Google Services under this Rider. Any change to Customer’s implementation of the Google Services where the layout and/or presentation of the Google Services substantially deviates from the approved initial implementation will be subject to Google’s prior approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Google acknowledges that Customer may update the design and content of the Sites in a manner consistent with its obligations contained herein; provided that Customer agrees that (a) it shall keep Google informed of all planned material changes to such Sites to the extent the changes have a material effect on the Google Services; and (b) no changes may be made to the look and feel, dimension and/or placement of the WebSearch Results, Local Search Results, AFS Ads, AdSense for Local Search Ads or AFC Ads without obtaining the prior written consent of Google. For the avoidance of doubt, Google may, and the foregoing will in no event limit Google’s ability to require changes to the look and feel or content of any such Results or Ads provided herein pursuant to Section 12 (Updates).
11. Filters.
11.1. General. Certain Services may contain filtering capability, such as SafeSearch, Country Restrict, Language Restrict, AdSafe and other filters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Customer elects to enable any such filters, Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees (a) it is Customer’s responsibility to enable such features in accordance with the instructions provided by Google in the applicable Service protocol, and (b) that Google cannot and does not make any representation, warranty or covenant that all results shall be limited to results elected by enabling such filter(s). For example, but without limiting the foregoing, if Customer elects SafeSearch, Country Restrict, Language Restrict and/or AdSafe, Google cannot and does not make any representation, warranty or covenant that all results shall be limited to the countries or languages selected or that all objectionable results shall be prevented.
11.2. URL Blocking. During the Term, Google shall use commercially reasonable efforts to exclude from Ads served under this Agreement Ads that contain the URLs specified by the Customer (the “URL Blocklist”). Customer may update the URL Blocklist from time to time, but no more often than once per calendar quarter, upon written notice to Google, and Google shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement such updates to the URL Blocklist within thirty (30) calendar days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer understands that Google cannot and does not make any representation, warranty or covenant that no Ads shall contain any of the URLs listed in the URL Blocklist.
12. Updates. If Google updates its technical or implementation specifications (including, without limitation, by way of updating the applicable Google Service protocol or by way of requiring changes to the look and feel, content and targeting methodology of Ads) from time to time as contemplated herein, Customer shall implement such updates or modifications as soon as reasonably practical, but in any event within thirty (30) days of the date it receives notice thereof.
13. Notice of System Changes. Customer shall provide Google with fourteen (14) days’ advance notice of any change in the code or serving technology used to display Google Advertising Results and/or Search Results (e.g., a change in the advertising serving technology used) that could reasonably be expected to have the potential to adversely affect the delivery or display of Google search or advertising results as required by this Agreement (it being understood that notice shall in no event relieve Customer of its obligations to display Search and Advertising Results as required hereunder).
14. Optimization. The parties agree to consult in good faith from time to time with the objective of optimizing the performance of Ads served under this Agreement.
15. Technical Support. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Term Google shall provide technical support services to Customer in accordance with Google’s support guidelines then in effect for the Services ordered herein. Prior to making any support request to Google, Customer shall first use reasonable efforts to fix any error, bug, malfunction, or network connectivity defect on its own without any escalation to Google. Thereafter, Customer’s Technical Contact may submit a written request for technical support via email to the applicable Google alias set forth below, or such other email address that Google may provide from time to time. Customer shall provide support services to Subscribers at its own expense.

In addition, Google may suspend performance and/or terminate this Rider upon seven (7) days written notice if Customer fails to make any required payment when due unless such payment is made within such seven (7) day notice period.

Confidential

Page 22 of 45


 

(a) Pre-Installed. In connection with devices for Desktop Device Subscribers that are developed for use on the Customer Network by Customer or third parties, if Customer generates requirements for the application software for any such devices, then Customer shall install or require the pre-installation of the Google Desktop Applications on these devices. The previous sentence does not apply to devices in which (1) Customer does not provide material design input or (2) Customer does not require the installation of applications other than a basic connection manager application. In connection with this paragraph, Customer may distribute the Google Desktop Applications to third parties solely for purpose of installing such Google Desktop Applications on devices developed for the Customer Network (such third parties, “Third Party Device Makers”); provided, however, that (a) in connection with any and all such distributions to Third Party Device Makers, Customer shall, and shall ensure that each Third Party Device Maker, installs the Google Desktop Applications in a manner that is no less protective of Google than the terms of this Agreement, and (b) Google in its reasonable discretion shall have the right to direct Customer to cease offers or distributions of Google Desktop Applications to any Third Party Device Maker that in Google’s reasonable discretion would either (1) harm or devalue Google’s business, brand or name, or (2) violate Google’s privacy policy, and Customer shall cause any such Third Party Device Maker to cease distribution of Google Desktop Applications as soon as practicable but in no event longer than ten days following receipt of such request from Google.
(b) Tangible Medium. If Customer distributes Customer software to Desktop Device Subscribers or prospective Desktop Device Subscribers on a tangible medium (e.g. CD-ROM, DVD-ROM), Customer shall include the Google Desktop Applications on the tangible medium to the extent Technically Feasible and give the Desktop Device Subscriber or prospective Desktop Device Subscriber an opportunity to install the Google Desktop Applications during the installation process of the Customer software. The form of the offering of Google Desktop Applications under this paragraph must conform to the screenshots and specifications to be mutually agreed upon by the parties.
(c) Over the Air.

3. Hosted Communication Services.
3.1. Customer Election. Customer is not required to offer the Hosted Communication Services. But if Customer elects to offer any email/address book service, instant messaging service, or calendar service to Subscribers, then Customer shall use the Hosted Communication Services for this purpose, except to the extent the Hosted Communication Services are not Technically Feasible for particular devices. After Customer communicates its desire to offer the Hosted Communication Services to Google, Customer and Google shall use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate the launch of the Hosted Communication Services.

The parties shall implement the Hosted Communication Services (i) in a manner that conforms to the screenshots and specifications to be mutually agreed upon by the parties; provided that Google will not refuse to agree to screenshots that are substantially similar to [*****] and (ii) in a manner that otherwise complies with the technical and implementation requirements provided by Google from time to time. In particular, Customer agrees to implement the single-sign on functionality of the Hosted Services APIs. By using the Hosted Communication Services, Customer consents to any such transfer, processing and storage of information. Customer is solely responsible for monitoring, responding to, and otherwise processing emails sent to the “abuse” and “postmaster” aliases for the Customer; however, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Google may also monitor, respond to or otherwise process emails sent to such aliases.

If a Subscriber does not affirmatively agree to the Google Subscriber Terms, then Customer shall not allow the Subscriber to create a Subscriber Account. “Google Subscriber Terms” means the following terms and policies (which may be modified from time to time by Google) located at the following URLs (or such URLs as Google may provide to Customer): (i) the Google Apps terms of service available at http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/users/terms.html and (ii) any other terms and policies related to the Hosted Communication Services as identified by Google by written notice.
(b) Subscribers. Following the launch of the Hosted Communication Services, Customer shall offer each Subscriber at least one Subscriber Account. A Subscriber may elect to opt-out of receiving a Subscriber Account by unselecting a clearly marked and easy-to-remove selection interface. Customer shall not offer Subscriber Accounts to Subscribers until Google approves of the user interface used by Customer to offer the Subscriber Accounts. For clarity, the default option for all new Subscribers shall be to receive a Subscriber Account. Customer may offer a Subscriber more than one Subscriber Account at Customer’s option.

Google acknowledges that Subscribers will also be bound by terms and conditions governing use of the various other services within Customer’s Portal as well as the use of Customer’s Portal itself. Notwithstanding the above or anything else to the contrary, Google shall have no responsibility for enforcing any agreements entered into between Customer and any end user of Customer.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that under no circumstances shall Google be liable in any way for any acts or omissions of Customer or any Subscriber including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions. Google reserves the right to temporarily suspend access to the administration account in response to security concerns.
4.4. Changes to the Hosted Communication Services. [*****] subject to Customer’s ability to opt-out of additional functionality as described in Section 3.2, Google shall have the right to change any aspect of the Hosted Communication Services and impose limits on features so long as such changes and limits are generally applicable to the Hosted Communication Services (as such services are made available by Google to similarly situated partners) without Customer approval and without liability to Customer. Google agrees to inform Customer of any substantial changes to the Hosted Communication Services. If Google updates its technical or implementation specifications for the Hosted Communication Services or Hosted Services APIs, Customer shall implement such updates or modifications within thirty (30) days of the date Customer receives notice.

The parties agree to comply with all applicable export and reexport control laws and regulations in connection with creating and administering Subscriber Accounts, including the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce, trade and economic sanctions maintained by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control.

1.1. Goog-411.

Without limiting the foregoing, Customer acknowledges and agrees to the following:
     (a) GMSS Boxes and Queries. Customer shall implement on each GMSS Site a GMSS Box for Subscribers to enter GMSS Queries. Customer may implement on approved Customer Phone Applications a GMSS Box for Subscribers to enter GMSS Queries. GMSS Boxes may only be located on a GMSS Site and approved Customer Phone Applications, and on no other website, application or property. Customer agrees to place the GMSS Box above the fold on the default page of the GMSS Site. The format and location of each GMSS Box on each GMSS Site and approved Customer Phone Application is subject to the written consent of Google, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Unless (and then only to the extent) otherwise approved by Google in writing, Customer understands and agrees that: (a) queries sent to Google for processing under its GMSS Service may be initiated only by Subscribers entering text into GMSS Boxes on the GMSS Site and approved Customer Phone Applications as provided herein; and (b) Customer shall send any and all queries generated on the GMSS Site and approved Customer Phone Applications as provided in subsection (a) above to Google for processing under its GMSS Services in accordance with the requirements provided by Google, without editing, filtering, truncating, appending terms to or otherwise modifying such GMSS Queries, either individually or in the aggregate (except to add metadata as agreed in advance by Google). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Google shall have no obligation to process GMSS Queries that are not sent in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement.
     (b) Operation of GMSS Service. Customer shall ensure that each GMSS Query shall (i) be from a list of Valid IP Addresses approved by Google for the GMSS Service; (ii) contain a Client ID approved by Google for the GMSS Services; (iii) include Subscriber IP address and user agent information; and (iv) request no fewer than the minimum number of GMSS Ads as mutually agreed by the parties. Upon Google’s receipt of a GMSS Query, Google shall transmit a set of GMSS Search Results and set of GMSS Advertising Results, each to the extent available, via Google’s network interface in accordance with the GMSS Protocol. Customer shall then display, in each instance, the entire set of GMSS Search Results and set of GMSS Advertising Results that corresponds to such GMSS Query in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, without editing, filtering, reordering, truncating, adding content to or otherwise modifying such set of GMSS Search Results or set of GMSS Advertising Results.
     (c) Labeling, Branding and Attribution. Each GMSS Box located on a GMSS Site and each page containing a set of GMSS Search Results shall conspicuously display a graphic module, in the form as provided by Google from time to time, that unambiguously indicates that the set of GMSS Search Results are provided by Google. Customer agrees that it shall not in any way imply that information other than the GMSS Search Results sets are provided by Google, unless otherwise expressly provided herein. Customer shall unambiguously mark each GMSS Ad, or each cluster or grouping of GMSS Ads, as a “Sponsored Link” or “Sponsored Links,” as the case may be, unless otherwise instructed or agreed by Google. In any event, Google reserves approval authority to ensure that GMSS Ads are labeled in a manner so as to sufficiently distinguish them from search results.

3.3. Customer Phone Applications. Customer may not access the GMSS Service (or any other Google Service) through a Customer Phone Application, until and unless Google has given written approval at Google’s sole discretion. If Customer wishes to access the GMSS Service through a Customer Phone Application, then Customer will request approval from Google and provide all reasonable information (about the Customer Phone Application and how Customer proposes to access, render, and display the GMSS Service from the Customer Phone Application) requested by Google to enable Google to evaluate the Customer Phone Application. Following the initial approval, to the extent that Customer materially changes the way in which the GMSS Service is accessed, rendered, or displayed in a Customer Phone Application, Google (i) may review and approve such changes with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (ii) may (in the event Google disapproves of such changes) suspend any continued use of the GMSS Service from the Customer Phone Application until such time as Customer implements adequate corrective modifications as reasonably required and determined by Google. Furthermore, Customer agrees to comply with the Google software principles at http://www.google.com/corporate/software_principles.html (as may be updated by Google from time to time) in connection with any Customer Phone Applications that are used to access the GMSS Service. Google may require Customer to immediately cease accessing the GMSS Service through an approved Customer Phone Application if Google reasonably believes that Customer is not complying with the Google software principles; provided, if Google requires Customer to cease accessing the GMSS Service in connection with any Customer Phone Application, Customer may continue to offer such Customer Phone Application without the Google Services, and, at Customer’s option, with an alternative mobile search service notwithstanding Section 6.1 herein. Furthermore, for avoidance of doubt, the statements throughout this Rider that require Customer to maintain an implementation of the GMSS Service with an approved Customer Phone Application does not mean that Customer has any obligation to continue distributing the approved Customer Phone Application.
3.4. Prohibited Actions. Section 2.1 (Prohibited Actions) of Rider A shall apply to Customer’s implementation of the GMSS Service (as if the GMSS Search Results are the “Search Results”, the GMSS Advertising Results are the “Advertising Results”, and the GMSS Sites are the “Sites” as defined therein). In addition to the termination rights provided in the Master Agreement, Google may terminate this Rider or the provision of Google services hereunder immediately upon written notice if Customer breaches this paragraph.
3.5. License to GMSS Protocol. Google grants to Customer a limited, nonexclusive and non-sublicensable license during the Term to use the GMSS Protocol solely for the purpose of transmitting GMSS Queries and other required information and receiving and displaying sets of GMSS Search Results and sets of GMSS Advertising Results solely to the extent permitted hereunder. Except to the limited extent expressly provided in this Agreement, Google does not grant, and Customer shall not acquire, any right, title or interest (including, without limitation, any implied license) in or to any Google Intellectual Property Rights; and all rights not expressly granted herein are reserved to Google.
4. Google Phone Applications.
     4.1. Google Phone Applications License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Google hereby grants to Customer a royalty-free, nontransferable, non-sublicensable, nonexclusive license during the Term to (a) reproduce the Google Phone Applications to the extent necessary to exercise the right granted in the following clause (b) and (b) distribute the Google Phone Applications directly to Phone Device Subscribers in the Territory as permitted by Section 4.5. At its sole discretion and with reasonable notice, Google may elect to restrict or revoke Customer’s right to distribute any one (or all) of the Google Phone Applications for certain devices, certain methods of distribution, or in the entirety.
     4.2. License Grant Restrictions. Customer shall not (and shall not encourage/assist third parties to and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any third parties from doing the following): (a) disassemble, de-compile or otherwise reverse engineer the Google Phone Applications or otherwise attempt to learn the source code or algorithms underlying the Google Phone Applications; (b) modify or create derivative works from or based on the Google Phone Applications; (c) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, provide, sell, license, distribute, lease, lend, or disclose the Google Phone Applications to any third party; (d) use the Google Phone Applications for timeshare, service bureau, or other unauthorized purposes; (e) bundle the Google Phone Applications as part of the download/installation process, with any other software, application, code, file, data, or other materials or information for contemporaneous download/installation; or (f) exceed the scope of any license granted to Customer hereunder.
4.3. Delivery. Upon availability, Google shall deliver the Google Phone Applications to Customer. For the sake of clarity, the parties acknowledge and agree that Google has no obligation to develop or deliver any Google Phone Application, and any such development or delivery is at Google’s sole discretion.
4.4. Distribution, Placement and Appearance.

     (a) ISS Application. Upon Google’s prior written approval and with an implementation of Client IDs, Customer shall distribute the ISS Application as follows: The ISS Application shall be (i) preloaded on Phone Devices and shall be placed above the fold on the “Idle Screen” of the Phone Device (the display of a Phone Device that appears when the Phone Device is in idle mode, which typically appears before any other screens or menus, and typically displays functions such as day/date and screensaver/wallpaper), and (ii) prominently made available for download from the Phone Portal and other Customer-hosted websites. Within the user interface of each Phone Device, Customer will ensure that the ISS Application is displayed more prominently than any Customer Phone Application that accesses the GMSS Service or any Customer Phone Application that offers web search functionality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer is not required to preload and place the ISS Application (pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph) on a particular Phone Device if (1) Customer does not provide material design input and (2) Customer does not require the installation of applications other than a basic connection manager application.
     (b) GMM and YouTube Applications. Upon Google’s prior written approval and with an implementation of Client IDs, Customer shall distribute the GMM and YouTube Applications as follows: The GMM Application and YouTube Application shall be (i) preloaded on Phone Devices and shall be placed under a Google Launch Tile that is placed above the fold on the “Idle Screen” of the Phone Device (the display of a Phone Device that appears when the Phone Device is in idle mode, which typically appears before any other screens or menus, and typically displays functions such as day/date and screensaver/wallpaper), , and (ii) prominently made available for download from the Phone Portal and other Customer-hosted websites. “Google Launch Tile” means an icon branded with a Google Brand Feature (as approved by Google) that when selected (or scrolled over) reveals the GMM Application and YouTube Application, and other Google links or applications as may be mutually agreed by the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer is not required to preload and place the GMM Application and YouTube Application (pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph) on a particular Phone Device if (1) Customer does not provide material design input and (2) Customer does not require the installation of applications other than a basic connection manager application.
     (c) Non-Google Items. For avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.4 does not restrict Customer’s ability to place other non-Google items above the fold on the “Idle Screen” of the Phone Device.
4.5. Form of Distribution Offering. Customer shall not: (a) offer or distribute the Google Phone Application to any third party (other than Subscribers as permitted by this Rider); (b) serve or otherwise place any advertisements during the download or installation process of the Google Phone Application; (c) offer, download or install, or allow any third party to offer, download or install, any additional products during the download or installation process of the Google Phone Application; or (d) download, preload, install or launch any Google Phone Application (or otherwise act or fail to act) such that a Subscriber is denied the opportunity to review and accept (or reject) the relevant Google terms of service.
4.6. GPS and Over-the-Air Updates. The parties shall cooperate and coordinate in order to complete Customer (and any other third party) certification and GPS-enabling of relevant Google Phone Application(s). Additionally, Google may auto-update Google Phone Applications over-the-air at Google’s discretion, and Customer shall not prevent such over-the-air auto-updates.
4.7. Accurate Reproduction. Customer agrees that in connection with its exercise of the right granted in Section 3.1 of this Agreement it shall accurately reproduce the Google Phone Applications without modification. Google agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not insert into the Google Phone Applications any viruses, worms, date bombs, time bombs, or other code that is specifically designed to cause the Google Phone Applications to cease operating, or to damage, interrupt, or interfere with any Google Phone Applications or Subscriber data.
4.8. Bug Fix Updates for Google Phone Applications. To the extent that Customer is distributing a particular Google Phone Application and Google generally makes available bug fix updates to that Google Phone Application for its other similarly situated distribution partners, then Google will make the bug fix updates available to Customer.
5. Payment. Regarding the GMSS Service and the ISS, GMM and YouTube Google Phone Applications, the parties shall make the payments set forth in Exhibit 1 to this Rider G. Except as set forth in Exhibit 1, neither party shall be required to account to the other or otherwise make any payment to the other in respect of the Google Services or Google Applications implemented by this Rider G.

7.6. Search and Advertising for MVNO Partners. For Customer’s MVNO partners or resellers who utilize the Phone Portal infrastructure, Google may at Google’s option permit these MVNO partners or resellers to use the search and advertising services described in this Rider G that Customer is using for the Phone Portal. At Google’s option, Customer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promote adoption of these search and advertising services by Customer’s MVNO partners and resellers.

3. Privacy Laws. Each party will comply with all privacy, data and information security, and other laws, regulations and governmental and industry standards and requirements that apply to it and its performance under this Agreement. During the Term, neither party will knowingly take any action that could contribute to or cause the other party to be in violation of any laws.
4. Customer Portal Control; Presentation of Privacy Policies; Safeguards.
4.1. Customer Portal Control. Customer shall have sole and exclusive control over the Customer Portal, including without limitation, control over any web pages or other mechanisms used by Customer to provide terms, disclosures or notifications to Subscribers, provided that (1) Google maintains its approval rights over the way Customer deploys the Google products and services as otherwise described in this Agreement, (2) Google maintains the right to approve the appearance of its Brand Features on the Sites as described in the Agreement, and (3) the other requirements described in this Section 4 shall apply. Google acknowledges that Customer may require that Subscribers be bound by certain Customer terms and conditions and policies governing use of various services (other than the Google products and services made available by Google) within the Customer Portal as well as the use of the Customer Portal (“Customer Subscriber Terms”). Notwithstanding the above or anything else to the contrary, Google shall have no responsibility for enforcing any of the foregoing Customer Subscriber Terms entered into between Customer and any Subscriber.
4.2. Presentation of Privacy Policies. The parties agree that they will independently prepare their respective privacy policies in a manner that is clear, accurate, current and conspicuous. Each of the parties also agree that its own privacy policy will, at a minimum, provide adequate and appropriate notice and disclosure to Subscribers with respect to its collection, use, transfer, storage and other aspects of its handling of data. For purposes of clarification, Google and Customer each will control its own privacy policy.

4.3. Safeguards. The parties acknowledge that they are each responsible for protecting against any unauthorized collection, disclosure and use of, and access to, any and all Search Query Data, Search IP Address Data, Search User Agent Data, Subscriber Registration Information, and Other Subscriber Information in its possession or over which it has temporary or permanent control. Accordingly, each party agrees to employ appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that are designed to prevent the unauthorized collection, access, disclosure, and use of such Subscriber information.
5. Location of Information. To the extent consistent with applicable law and the Google Privacy Policy, Google may store and process the Search Query Data, Search IP Address Data, Search User Agent Data, Subscriber Registration Data, and Other Subscriber Information (that it collects pursuant to section 2.4(b) above), in the United States or any other country in which Google or its agents maintain facilities; provided that Google privacy and security standards applicable to the United States shall be maintained in such other countries with respect to such data (except where higher security standards with respect to such foreign storage and processing are required by applicable law or regulation). To the extent consistent with applicable law and the applicable Customer privacy policy, Customer may store and process the Search Query Data, Search IP Address Data, Search User Agent Data, Subscriber Registration Data, and Other Subscriber Information (that it collects pursuant to section 2.4(a) above), in the United States or any other country in which Customer or its agents maintain facilities; provided that Customer privacy and security standards applicable to the United States shall be maintained in such other countries with respect to such data (except where higher security standards with respect to such foreign storage and processing are required by applicable law or regulation).
6. Miscellaneous. The rights and obligations in Sections 2, 3, and 5 of this Rider will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.
