Chrome Service Licence Agreement

This Chrome Service Licence Agreement (the “ Agreement”) is entered into between Google Ireland Limited, whose principal place of business is at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4 (“Google”) and the entity agreeing to these terms (“ Customer”). This Agreement is effective as of the date Customer clicks the “I Accept” button, or indicates its acceptance of this Agreement by using the Services (the “ Effective Date”). If Customer does not agree to these terms and conditions, Customer should click the “Cancel” button, or make no further use of the Services. If you are accepting this Agreement on behalf of Customer, you represent and warrant that: (i) you have full legal authority to bind your employer, or the applicable entity, to these terms and conditions; (ii) you have read and understand this Agreement; and (iii) you agree, on behalf of the party that you represent, to this Agreement. If you do not have the legal authority to bind Customer, please do not click the "I Accept" button below.

This Agreement governs Customer’s access to and use of the Services during the Term.

  1. Services.
    1. Subscription to Services. If Customer purchased a valid subscription licence to the Services, as indicated by an Order Form accepted and processed by Google, and in consideration of Customer’s payment of all Fees, then, during the Term, Google grants to Customer and Customer agrees to comply with a non-sublicensable, non-transferable, non-exclusive, limited licence to use the Services to manage each unit of Customer Hardware up to the number of licences, for the corresponding Services, indicated in the applicable Order Form. All subscription licences purchased by Customer during the Term are subject to the terms of this Agreement. The licence grant in this Section 1.1 (Subscription to Services) is subject to Customer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
    2. Upgrades; Automatic Renewal; and Co-termination of Subscriptions.
      1. Upgrades. If, during the Term, Customer purchases Upgrade licences to a Service for which Customer already has an existing subscription licence, such Upgrade licences will be prorated by Google to end on the same end date as Customer’s existing subscription licence for the corresponding Service.
      2. Automatic Renewal. For subscription licences to the Services purchased by Customer through the Admin Console, the subscription licences for such Services will, on the anniversary of the Service Commencement Date, automatically renew and Customer’s payment method will be charged according to Customer’s billing option automatically, without Customer taking any additional action. At any time during the subscription licence term for the Services, Customer may change Customer’s billing settings, including cancelling automatic renewal of the subscription licences, by going to the Billing section in the Admin Console and changing the settings there.
      3. Co-Termination of Subscriptions. Customer may request Google to change its subscription licences to the Service to co-term with another Google service or product licence term. Customer may make such request only during the initial purchase or a renewal purchase and such request must be in the form of (i) a written request (email acceptable) with an Order Form accepted by Google or (ii) an Order Form with special instructions included and accepted by Google. If Customer’s request is accepted by Google, Google will adjust Customer’s existing and new subscription licences (except for perpetual subscription licences) to co-term with the service or licence term for the specified Google service or product (for example, G Suite) on the condition that Customer has an existing and valid licence for such Google service or product at the time of such request. If Customer purchases its subscription licences for the Services through the Admin Console, Google will prorate the subscription licence fees to match the co-termed service or licence term and bill Customer in accordance with Customer’s payment plan.
      4. No Co-term for Perpetual Subscriptions. For clarity, perpetual subscription licences are not eligible for co-termination. Perpetual subscription licences to the Services will continue for the period the Customer Hardware remains on the Google approved Chrome OS device list included with the Auto Update Policy.
    3. Trial Subscription. If Google or Reseller provides Customer with a trial of the Services, the Trial Terms will govern Customer’s use of the Services, unless Customer has executed a separate written agreement with Google for its trial use of the Services (in which case the terms of the executed separate written agreement will govern Customer’s trial use of the Services and not the Trial Terms).
    4. Provision of Services and Cloud Identity. During the Term, Google will make the Services available to Customer. To use the Services, Customer will need Cloud Identity. If Customer already has Cloud Identity, Customer can log-in and start using the Services. If Customer does not have Cloud Identity, Google will provision Customer with access to Cloud Identity. Customer will need to activate Cloud Identity by logging-in to create and complete Customer’s Cloud Identity account. Use of Cloud Identity (specifically excluding the Services) is subject to the Cloud Identity Terms.
    5. Customer Domain Name Ownership. As part of providing the Services, Google may verify that Customer owns or controls the Customer Domain Name(s). If Customer does not own, or control, the Customer Domain Name(s), then Google will have no obligation to provide Customer with the Services. However, Google may, at its sole discretion, provide Customer with a Google Provided Domain for Customer’s use with the corresponding Services during the Term. If a Google Provided Domain is issued to Customer, Customer’s use of the Google Provided Domain is subject to the terms of the Agreement and the terms of the Google Subdomain Licence Agreement.
    6. New Features or Services. Google may make new applications, features or functionalities for the Services available from time to time, the use of which may be contingent upon Customer’s agreement to additional terms.
    7. Facilities and Data Transfer. All facilities used to store and process Customer Data will adhere to reasonable security standards no less protective than the security standards at facilities where Google stores and processes its own information of a similar type. As part of providing the Services, Google may transfer, store and process Customer Data in the United States or any other country in which Google or its agents maintain facilities. By using the Services, Customer consents to this transfer, processing and storage of Customer Data.
    8. Modifications to the Services.
      1. Changes to the Services. Google may make commercially reasonable changes to the Services from time to time. If Google makes a material change to the Services, including discontinuing the Services or features or portions thereof, Google will inform Customer, by either sending an email to the Notification Email Address or alerting Customer through the Admin Console.
      2. Changes to the Agreement. Google may make changes to this Agreement, including any linked documents from time to time. Unless otherwise noted by Google, material changes to the Agreement will become effective 30 days after they are posted, except if the changes apply to new functionality in which case they will be effective immediately.
      3. Changes to the Data Processing Amendment. Google may only change the Data Processing Amendment where such change is required to comply with applicable law, applicable regulation, court order, or guidance issued by a governmental regulator or agency, where such change is expressly permitted by the Data Processing Amendment, or where such change:
        1. is commercially reasonable;
        2. does not result in a degradation of the overall security of the Services;
        3. does not expand the scope of or remove any restrictions on Google’s processing of Customer Personal Data, as described in Section 5.2 (Scope of Processing) of the Data Processing Amendment; and
        4. does not otherwise have a material adverse impact on Customer’s rights under the Data Processing Amendment.
      If Google makes a material change to the Data Processing Amendment in accordance with this Section, Google will post the modified Data Processing Amendment to the URL containing those terms
    9. Data Processing Amendment. The Data Processing Amendment is incorporated by this reference into the Agreement.
    10. Customer Hardware.
      1. Use of Services. Subject to the terms in Section 1.10(B) (No Hardware Supplied), Section 1.10(C) (Termination of Support for Services), and Section 1.10(D) (Replacement Customer Hardware) below, the TSS Guidelines and during the period Customer Hardware remains on the Google approved Chrome OS device list included with the Auto Update Policy, the Services will function with Customer Hardware .
      2. No Hardware Supplied. This Agreement does not cover the purchase, replacement, updating or support of any Customer Hardware, unless the TSS Guidelines states otherwise. Customer acknowledges and understands that Supported Chrome OS Hardware may require updates to operate with the Services. Customer is responsible for ensuring Customer Hardware is updated properly in accordance with the original terms that accompanied the Supported Chrome OS Hardware and the terms of the TSS Guidelines. If Customer Hardware is not updated, it may cease to be deemed a Supported Chrome OS Hardware, as described in the TSS Guidelines and it may not function with the Services.
      3. Termination of Support for Services. Over time, Customer Hardware that was initially Supported Chrome OS Hardware may cease to be supported in accordance with the Auto Update Policy, at which point the Services may cease to function with, and Google may cease to provide TSS for use of the Services with that Supported Chrome OS Hardware. For such Supported Chrome OS Hardware, Google will inform via Customer’s Admin Console or online under Google’s Auto Update Policy at least 90 days in advance of the date that such Supported Chrome OS Hardware will cease to be supported.
      4. Replacement Customer Hardware. During the Term, Customer may, via such procedure as Google may prescribe, transfer a subscription licence to the Services from an enrolled Customer Hardware to a replacement Customer Hardware. Customer may make such subscription licence transfer even if the enrolled Customer Hardware is no longer included in the Auto Update Policy, so long as such transfer occurs during the Term. For clarify, the ability to transfer subscription licences, as permitted in this Section 1.10 (D) (Replacement Customer Hardware), will not apply to a perpetual subscription licence.
    11. Intellectual Property Rights; Feedback
      1. Intellectual Property Rights. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement does not grant either party any rights, implied or otherwise, to the other’s content or any of the other’s intellectual property. Intellectual Property Rights in and to the content accessed through the Services are the property of the applicable content owner and may be protected by applicable laws. As between the parties, Google (and/or its licensors or suppliers) owns all Intellectual Property Rights in the Services.
      2. Customer Feedback. If Customer provides Google with Feedback about the Services, then Google may use that information without obligation to Customer, and Customer hereby irrevocably assigns to Google all right, title, and interest in that Feedback.
  2. Customer Data Processing. Google will not access or use Customer Data, except as necessary to provide the Services to Customer. Such access and use will be in accordance with the Data Processing Amendment.
  3. Customer Obligations.
    1. Compliance. Customer must ensure that all use of the Services by Customer, its Administrators and its End Users complies with this Agreement.
    2. Notification Email Address. Customer is required to provide a current and accurate Notification Email Address in the Admin Console within a reasonable time after being provisioned with a subscription licence to the Services. During the Term, Customer will use reasonable endeavours to review and designate a current and accurate Notification Email Address in the Admin Console to ensure Customer receives email notifications from Google. Customer understands that Google will rely on the Notification Email Address provided by Customer to send email notifications required under this Agreement. Failure on Customer’s behalf to provide a current and accurate Notification Email Address in the Admin Console will not be construed or deemed as a breach of any kind by Google of its notification obligations under this Agreement.
    3. Additional Products. Google may make Additional Products available to Customer in accordance with the Additional Product Terms. Additional Products are not subject to or governed by this Agreement. Customer can enable or disable Additional Products and is not required to use Additional Products in order to use the Services.
    4. Customer Administration of the Services. Customer may appoint one or more Administrators through the Admin Console who will have the rights to access Admin Account(s). Customer is responsible for: (i) maintaining the confidentiality of the password and Admin Account(s); (ii) designating those individuals who are authorized to access the Admin Account(s); (iii) ensuring that all activities that occur in connection with the Admin Account(s) comply with the Agreement; and (iv) promptly notifying Google of any unauthorized use of, or access to, the Admin Console of which it becomes aware. At all times during the Term, Customer remains responsible for the foregoing obligations if Customer designates a third party (including but not limited to Reseller) as an Administrator. For clarity, Customer agrees that Google’s responsibilities do not extend to the internal management or administration of the Services for Customer and that Google is merely a data-processor.
    5. Administrator Access; End User Consent.
      1. Administrator Access. Administrators with Admin Accounts will have the ability to access the Admin Console on Customer’s behalf to administer the Services. In accessing the Admin Console on Customer’s behalf, Administrators will have the ability to access, monitor, use, modify, or disclose Customer Data stored in the Admin Console as part of administering the Services.
      2. Reseller as Administrator. If Customer purchased subscription licences to the Services via Reseller, Reseller may have Administrator access to Customer Data. As between Google and Customer, Customer is solely responsible for: (i) any access by Reseller to the Admin Console on Customer’s behalf, including access to Customer Data; and (ii) defining in the Reseller Agreement any rights or obligations as between Reseller and Customer with respect to the Services.
      3. End User Consent. Customer will obtain and maintain all required consents from End Users to allow: (i) Administrators to have the access described in this Agreement; and (ii) Google’s provision of the Services as described in this Agreement.
    6. Third Party Requests. Customer is responsible for responding to Third Party Requests. Google will, to the extent allowed by law and by the terms of the Third Party Request: (i) promptly notify Customer of its receipt of a Third Party Request; (ii) comply with Customer’s reasonable requests regarding its efforts to oppose a Third Party Request; and (iii) if the relevant information is solely held by Google and reasonably accessible by Google, provide Customer with the information required for Customer to respond to the Third Party Request. Customer will first seek to obtain the information required to respond to the Third Party Request on its own, and will contact Google only if it cannot reasonably obtain such information.
    7. APIs. Google may make certain APIs available to Customer with the Services for Customer or its Administrator’s use. Customer or its Administrators’ use of such APIs will be subject to the Google API TOS, unless the terms accompanying such API state otherwise. For clarity, APIs made available to Customer are not part of the Services and Customer is not required to use the APIs in order to use the Services.
  4. Restrictions.
    1. Generally. Subject to Section 4.2 (Third Party Components), Customer will not, and will not allow others to do any of the following unless required by law, or unless Google consents in writing: (i) adapt, alter, modify, decompile, translate, disassemble, or reverse engineer the Services, or any component thereof; (ii) copy or make derivative works of the Services, attempt to extract the source code of the Services, or otherwise attempt to reduce the Services to human perceivable form; (iii) use the Services for High Risk Activities; (iv) transfer, sublicence, distribute, sell, lease or use for time-sharing or service bureau purposes the Services or any component of the Services; (v) remove or alter any Brand Features or other proprietary notices included with the Services; (vi) violate, or encourage the violation of, the legal rights of others; and (vii) use the Services for any unlawful, invasive, infringing, defamatory, or fraudulent purposes.

To the extent the Services includes components governed by open source licences with provisions inconsistent with this Agreement, those components are instead governed solely by the applicable open source licences. To the extent the Services includes components governed by open source licences requiring the provision of corresponding source code for those components, Google hereby provides that source code consistent with those licences. Google hereby provides the Third Party Component Notice.
  5. Orders via Admin Console – Billing and Payment.
    1. Orders via Admin Console. If Customer purchased the subscription licence to the Services through the Admin Console, then the payment terms in Section 5.3 (Payment) will apply to Customer for such subscription licences.
    2. Billing.
      1. If one or more of the following billing options are made available to Customer by Google, Customer may select one of the billing options when placing its order for the Services. Google may change its offering of billing options, including by limiting or ceasing to offer any billing option, upon 30 days written notice to Customer (which may be by email). Billing options may not be available to all customers.
        1. Annual Plan. If this option is made available to Customer and Customer selects or otherwise indicates consent to this option, Customer will be committed to purchasing subscription licences to the Services from Google for an annual term. Google will still bill Customer monthly in arrears for its use of the Services when Customer has an annual commitment for the Services with Google. Customer may pay for the subscription licence(s) to the Services using the payment options listed in Section 5.3 (Payment) below.
        2. Flexible Plan . If this option is made available to Customer and Customer selects or otherwise indicates consent to this option, Customer will not be committed to purchase subscription licence to the Services for a pre-defined term but will pay for the subscription licence to the Services on a monthly basis. Google will bill Customer: (i) Fees based upon Customer’s daily usage of the Services during the preceding month; and (ii) monthly in arrears for its use of the Services. Google will provide Customer with the monthly rate for the Services when Customer orders the Services, and will use this rate to calculate the Fees, on a prorated basis, for Customer’s daily usage during that month. Any partial day of Services usages will be rounded up to a full day of Services usage for the purposes of calculating Fees. Customer may pay for the subscription licences to the Services using the payment options listed in Section 5.3 (Payments) below.
      2. Automatic Billing Renewal. If Customer’s subscription licence to the Services is an automatic renewing subscription and Customer has not opted out of automatic renewal, then at the end of the then-current subscription licence term Customer’s (i) subscription licence to the Services will be renewed for an additional subscription licence term and (ii) without any additional action by Customer, Customer’s payment option will automatically be charged at the then-current renewal price (plus applicable taxes) in accordance with Customer’s billing options. At any time after Customer’s initial purchase of the subscription licence to the Services, Customer may change Customer’s billing settings, including cancelling automatic renewal of the subscription licences to the Services, by going to the Billing page in the Admin Console. When Customer cancels the automatic renewal, Customer’s subscription licences to the Services will end at the end of the then-current subscription licence term, unless Customer’s manually renews the subscription licences by placing an Order Form to renew such subscription licences with its Reseller.
    3. Payment. All payments due are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated on the Order Form or invoice.
      1. Credit Card or Debit Card. Fees for orders where Customer is paying with a credit card, debit card or other non-invoice form of payment, are due at the end of the month during which Customer received the Services. For credit cards, or debit cards, as applicable: (i) Google will charge Customer for all applicable Fees when due and (ii) these Fees are considered delinquent 30 days after the end of the month during which Customer received the Services.
      2. Invoices. Payments for invoices from Google are due 30 days after the invoice date and are considered delinquent after such date.
      3. Other Forms of Payment. Customer may change its payment method to those available within the Admin Console. Google may enable other forms of payment by making them available in the Admin Console. These other forms of payment may be subject to additional terms, which Customer may have to accept prior using the additional forms of payment.
    4. Taxes. Customer is responsible for any Taxes, and Customer will pay Google for the subscription licences to the Services without any reduction for Taxes. If Google is obligated to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be invoiced to Customer, unless Customer provides Google with a timely and valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. In some states the sales tax is due on the total purchase price at the time of sale and must be invoiced and remitted in the month of the sale. If Customer is required by law to withhold any Taxes from its payments to Google, Customer must provide Google with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such withholding.
    5. Invoice Disputes. Any invoiced disputes must be submitted prior to the invoice due date. If the parties determine that certain billing inaccuracies are attributable to Google, Google will not issue a corrected invoice, but will instead issue a credit memo specifying the incorrect amount in the affected invoice. If the disputed invoice has not yet been paid, Google will apply the credit memo amount to the disputed invoice and Customer will be responsible for paying the resulting net balance due on that invoice.
    6. Delinquent Payments. If a payment is overdue Google may charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 2% per year above the base rate of Barclays Bank PLC from the payment due date until paid in full whether before or after judgment. Customer will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Google in collecting such delinquent amounts, except where such delinquent amounts are due to Google’s billing inaccuracies.
  6. Brand Features.
    1. Display of Brand Features. Google may display those Customer Brand Features authorized by Customer within designated areas of the Services (such authorization is provided by Customer uploading its Brand Features to the designated areas of the Services). Customer may specify the nature of this use using the Admin Console. Google may also display Google Brand Features with the Services to indicate that the Services is provided by Google. Neither party may display or use the other party’s Brand Features beyond what is allowed in this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent.
    2. Brand Features Limitation. Any use of a party’s Brand Features will inure to the benefit of the party holding Intellectual Property Rights in those Brand Features. A party may revoke the other party’s right to use its Brand Features pursuant to this Agreement with written notice to the other and a reasonable period to stop the use.
  7. Technical Support.
    1. By Customer. Customer will, at its own expense, respond to questions and complaints from End Users or third parties relating to Customer’s or End Users’ use of the Services. Customer will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve support issues before escalating them to Google.
    2. By Google. If Customer cannot resolve a support issue consistent with the above, then Customer may escalate the issue to Google in accordance with the TSS Guidelines. Subject to Customer’s payment of the Fees (if applicable), Sections 1.9(A) (Use of Services), 1.9(C) (Termination of Support for Services), and 1.9(D) (Replacement Customer Hardware) above, Google will provide TSS to Customer in accordance with the TSS Guidelines.
    3. By Reseller. If Customer purchased subscription licences to the Services via Reseller in accordance with the terms in Section 3.5(B) (Reseller as Administrators), Customer acknowledges and agrees that Reseller may disclose End User personal data to Google as reasonably required in order for Reseller to handle any support issues that Customer may choose to escalate to or via Reseller.
  8. Disclaimers. Google hereby disclaims any conditions, warranties or other terms relating to any Services or to any other goods or services or any information supplied by Google under this Agreement, unless such conditions, warranties or terms are expressly set out in this Agreement. For clarity, and subject to Section 13.3(b), no implied conditions, warranties or other terms apply, including any implied terms as to satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose or conformance with description. Google does not warrant and makes no representations (i) that the operation of the Services will be error-free or uninterrupted, (ii) about any content or information made accessible by or through the Services, and (iii) that the Services are designed or intended for High Risk Activities. Customer acknowledges that the Services are not a telephony service and that the Services are not capable of placing or receiving any calls, including emergency services calls, over publicly switched telephone networks.

      2. After the termination date (i) Customer will not have access to, or the ability to export, the Customer Data; (ii) Customer will delete the Customer Data in a manner consistent with the functionality of the Services and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement; (iii) Google will delete Customer Data in accordance with the terms of the Agreement; and (iv) upon request each party will promptly use reasonable efforts to return or destroy any remaining Confidential Information of the other party.
