2. Marketing Services.
2.1 Payment Prerequisites; Timing and Delays; Communication and Reporting; Tools Owned or Licensed by Google.
  (A) Prerequisites for Google Payment. Google is not obligated to pay any fees or make any payments unless (1) a SOW describes such fees and payments in accordance with this Agreement, and (2) a purchase order for such fees and payments has been issued by Google. Google may reject any Services or Deliverables that are performed or developed before an applicable SOW is executed. Contractor will not charge fees, and Google is not obligated to pay fees, in excess of those stated in an applicable Rate Card. Unless time and materials or hourly billing is expressly authorized in a SOW, Contractor will use the applicable Rate Card to determine its proposed flat fees, fixed fees, milestone fees, or Deliverable-based fees for a project. At any time, including before a SOW is signed, Google may request a staffing plan that contains a breakdown of Contractor’s proposed staffing and fees (and may request comparison against an applicable Rate Card), to be used for Google’s internal benchmarking and analysis. Unless otherwise specified in a SOW, all amounts specified in the SOW (including the invoice, fees, and expenses) will be in US dollars. Any currency exchange comparisons or calculations under this Agreement will use the applicable exchange rates published at www.Bloomberg.com unless other exchange rates are agreed in writing in a SOW (“Exchange Rates”). If the SOW expressly states that Contractor may invoice in a currency other than US dollars, Contractor will calculate the invoiced amounts using the applicable Exchange Rates as of the SOW Effective Date. Each invoice will disclose the Exchange Rates used.
  (B) Timing and Delays. Time is of the essence regarding Contractor’s performance of this Agreement. Contractor will notify the Responsible Googler immediately of any circumstances that might delay Contractor’s completion of the Services or Deliverables by more than 1 business day. Contractor is not responsible for delays in providing Services or Deliverables solely to the extent that such delay is caused by Google’s delay, in which case Contractor's performance may be delayed for an amount of time equal to Google's delay; for clarity, Contractor will not be required to perform work beyond the scope defined in the SOW unless the SOW is amended.
  (C) Communication and Reporting. Unless specified otherwise in the SOW, Google and Contractor will meet at least monthly to discuss project status and Contractor will provide Google with monthly project reporting. All reporting and communication of Deliverables and Services results, if any, will be transmitted to Google via Google Drive unless otherwise agreed by Google in writing (email to suffice).
  (D) Access to Tools Licensed by Google; Access to Google Systems.
    (1) If, for the purpose of providing Services or Deliverables to Google, Contractor is given access to a tool licensed by Google, Contractor will comply with all applicable terms of the license made available by Google to Contractor (email to suffice). As between the parties, the tool will be Google’s Background IP and the license to such tool will remain Google’s property. Any Google resources provided to Contractor, including physical or technology infrastructure, will remain Google’s property. Contractor will promptly implement any updates provided by Google to the Google resources. Contractor and Personnel may use Google resources solely for the purpose of providing the Services and Deliverables in accordance with the Agreement.
    (2) If Personnel accesses any Google systems (including tools licensed by Google that are hosted or maintained on Google’s internal systems) from any non-Google facility, Contractor will ensure that Personnel meet any remote work or security standards that Google may make available at such URLs as Google may specify in writing (email to suffice), as may be updated from time to time.
    (3) Google may revoke Contractor’s access to Google-licensed or Google-owned systems or tools at any time. Contractor will promptly submit requests to Google for removing Personnel access to Google systems and equipment when they leave or are removed from providing Services.
2.2 General Warranties for Marketing Services. Contractor represents and warrants:
  (A) that all Deliverables (other than Google’s Background IP or Third Party Materials approved by Google in writing to be incorporated into Deliverables) will be original and not previously published in any form unless stated otherwise in a SOW;
  (B) unless otherwise indicated in a SOW, no Contractor Background IP will be used in the provision of any Services;
  (C) that all Services and Deliverables comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations (including advertising laws and industry guidelines or codes of practice), and will not contain any obscene, blasphemous, libelous or otherwise unlawful content;
  (D) that regardless of the type of Services or Deliverables, if music, sound effects, lyrics, or recording artist Talent (whether singing, performing, speaking, presenting, or otherwise) will be incorporated in any manner, then without limiting anything in this Agreement Contractor will obtain all necessary rights, licenses, permissions, and clearances for Google;
  (E) Contractor will not perform any Prohibited Services;
  (F) Contractor will pay Personnel for all time worked; and
  (G) that despite any stated rates or conditions between Google and Contractor under the Agreement, (i) Contractor will pay Personnel in accordance with, and at levels that meet or exceed, all applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and (ii) the amounts payable by Google under the Agreement sufficiently compensate Contractor for its business purposes.
2.3 Developed IP; Destruction of Google Background IP.
  (A) Notwithstanding ISA Section 4.3 (Developed IP; Deliverables), the Developed IP is a work made for hire to the extent permitted by applicable law, and Google retains all Intellectual Property Rights in the Developed IP.
  (B) Contractor will not destroy any of Google’s Background IP without Google's prior written consent.
2.4 Approvals; Labeling Non-Final Deliverables.
  (A) Under this Agreement, Google approvals are not a waiver of any Contractor obligations. Contractor will not incorporate any statements or claims regarding Google products or services, or any third party's products or services, into any Services or Deliverables without Google’s prior written approval in each case (email to suffice except for Third Party Materials, which must be specified in a SOW). Unless otherwise stated in a SOW, Contractor will obtain Google’s general written approval of campaign plans and specific written approval for all creative work (including all final pre-publication versions) and media schedules prior to publication or use (email to suffice).
  (B) Contractor will clearly and conspicuously label each portion of non-final Deliverables that may contain Third Party Materials not yet approved or cleared for public use as “non-final,” “for placement only,” and “for Google’s internal use only.”
2.5. No Agency; Contractor Signs Agreements in Contractor’s Name Only. Contractor will carry out the Services acting as principal at law. Nothing in this Agreement permits Contractor to act as agent for Google or on Google’s behalf to execute a contract with a third party, including licenses, sponsorships, co-marketing agreements, online platform services, online terms of service, and APIs. Without limiting the preceding 2 sentences, Contractor will sign all licenses and permissions required by this Agreement as the contracting entity, and will not sign as an agent for Google or “on behalf of” Google.
2.6 Guild and Signatory Requirements.
  (A) Contractor Responsible for all Guild Compliance Obligations and Payments. As between Contractor and Google, Contractor is solely responsible for ensuring that Guild members are covered by an appropriate Guild agreement when the Services or Deliverables are within the jurisdiction of a Guild agreement, and for all liabilities and obligations (including properly classifying Talent) to any applicable Guild. For avoidance of doubt: (A) Contractor has no authority to cause Google to incur any obligations under any Guild agreement, including to any Talent or any subcontractors covered by a Guild agreement; (B) nothing in this Agreement obligates Google to enter into any Guild agreement; and (C) Contractor will comply with all, and pay all, obligations required by an applicable Guild agreement, including minimum compensation and break time requirements, residuals and reuse payments, pension and health contributions, credit obligations, and health and safety requirements (including those related to public health risks and pandemics like COVID-19).
  (B) Contractor Will Work With Google’s Signatory, Payroll, Network Clearance, and Distribution Agency. Contractor is required to engage the agency TEAM, or any other successor approved by Google’s Marketing Operations team, for Guild signatory services in the United States and Canada, in accordance with the Production Guidelines. Contractor may engage TEAM or its approved successor for Guild Talent payroll services, network clearance services, and global distribution services as set forth in the Production Guidelines. Where Contractor engages TEAM or its approved successor, TEAM will charge Contractor and Contractor will invoice Google for reimbursement. Contractor is prohibited from marking up any fees or invoices from TEAM.
2.7 Records, Reporting, and Audits.
  (A) Contractor will maintain accurate records of staffing time, in 30 minute increments, for all Personnel providing Services.  At Google's request, during the term of an applicable SOW and for one year after its termination, Contractor will promptly provide Google with detailed and accurate reports (“Reports”), at Contractor’s own expense, in the formats requested by Google, outlining on a line item basis for the period indicated: (i) the status of all Services and Deliverables, including all work in progress, (ii) all actual direct staffing time for Contractor's Personnel providing Services (provided solely for Google’s internal benchmarking and analysis; the parties acknowledge the reporting results will not change the fees for Services and Deliverables already performed unless the applicable SOW expressly authorizes time and materials or hourly billing), (iii) reimbursable and reimbursed expenses, (iv) production costs including invoices for Personnel (for avoidance of doubt, Personnel includes subcontractors and freelancers), and (v) any additional information regarding the Services or Deliverables as Google may request.
  (B) At Google's request, Contractor's Managing Director or higher executive will verify in writing, in the form, substance, and detail that Google requests, that all information in each Report is complete and accurate. At Google's expense, Contractor will provide Google's third-party auditor with all reasonable assistance to verify that all information contained in the Reports are accurate. Google’s audits of Contractor’s records will not include individual payroll information, profitability, overheads or non-billable expenses, or information about Contractor’s other clients.
  (C) Regardless of how Contractor’s fees are calculated for any SOW, the maximum amount Google is obligated to pay Contractor across all SOWs under this Agreement in a single calendar year for a single Rate Card role is capped at the hourly Rate Card rate for the role multiplied by the hours cap stated in the Production Guidelines for the applicable region, country, or market. Without limiting the Production Guidelines, which may contain additional or different caps for specific countries or markets, the hours cap for each region is (i) 1800 hours for North America; (ii) 1675 hours for Europe, Middle East, and Africa; (iii) 1700 hours for Asia and the Pacific region; and (iv) 1800 hours for Brazil. In the event of a conflict between the Production Guidelines and this Section 2.7(C) of this Attachment, the Production Guidelines will take precedence.
2.8 No Publicity. Any written approval from Google of any publicity relating to this Agreement in accordance with ISA Section 6.5 (No Publicity) must be provided by a member of Google’s Marketing Operations team or their successor(s) or designee(s); all other approvals from Google are void. Further, Contractor will comply with any public relations and award show policies provided by Google.
2.9 Tax Forms. As between Contractor and Google, Contractor is solely responsible for collecting any necessary tax information from third parties (for example, U.S. Form W-9 from Influencers or Confirmed Winners of a contest) and for providing any necessary tax forms to third parties (for example, U.S. Form 1099 to Influencers or Confirmed Winners of a contest). For avoidance of doubt, ISA Section 3.4(B) (Withholding Taxes) applies to Contractor’s activities under this Attachment.
2.10 Other Entities.
  (A) Cooperation. Contractor will fully cooperate with other third parties designated by Google in writing from time to time. If the Services involve Contractor’s interaction with media agencies, Contractor will (1) supply all relevant information to media agencies fully and promptly to enable such agencies to meet their own obligations to Google, (2) be responsible for correct copy rotation and supply of copy to media, and (3) be responsible for any surcharges levied by media owners arising from the supply of late or wrong copy due to fault, delay, or error by Contractor.
  (B) No Subcontracting Digital or Interactive Services; No Subcontractors Without Express Authorization. Unless Contractor’s Services include development or use of code, websites, or software, in which case subcontracting is prohibited, Contractor will not subcontract any of its obligations except to subcontractors expressly permitted in an applicable SOW. Contractor is prohibited from subcontracting all Services and Deliverables to a single subcontractor. Contractor will comply with the Production Guidelines and will use reasonable care and skill to: (i) select and appoint third party suppliers in connection with the provision of the Services, (ii) obtain services and products from third party suppliers in the most cost effective manner taking into account the circumstances and quality required, and (iii) structure the relationship with any third party suppliers to obtain the most favorable tax treatment for Google. Without limiting the ISA, Contractor will ensure Personnel (including subcontractors and freelancers) comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including all applicable commercial and public anti-bribery laws.
2.11 Code, Website, and Software Development. If the Services include development or use of code, websites, or software:
  (A) Contractor will comply with the Google Partner Security Documentation at https://g.co/partner-security and is prohibited from subcontracting all or part of the code, website, or software Services or Deliverables.
  (B) Contractor will not purchase any domain names for Google or on behalf of Google.
  (C) Contractor will adhere to Google’s internal coding style guides at https://code.google.com/p/google-styleguide/, or any other URLs Google specifies in writing (email to suffice), as may be updated from time to time, when building any websites for launch on hostnames such as www.google.com and others as determined by Google in its sole discretion.
  (D) Unless Contractor obtains Google’s prior written approval (email is sufficient) in each case, Contractor will ensure that all code, software and website Services and Deliverables: (1) are built and hosted on Google App Engine or other Google-provisioned infrastructure; (2) do not route traffic from Google-owned domains to third-party servers; and (3) will have back-end code written in programming languages approved by Google in advance.
  (E) Contractor will optimize all websites for mobile use.

Google will have sole discretion over whether Google or Contractor hosts scripts for projects. Contractor will not use scripts hosted on third party systems.
  (I) To the extent artificial intelligence or machine learning systems (“AI”) will be used or incorporated by Contractor in the Services or Deliverables, Contractor will:
    (1) take reasonable measures to use representative training data sets and ensure the data itself, or the use of AI, does not lead to outcomes that result in prohibited bias or discrimination among Google’s employees or users;
    (2) retain and make available to Google upon request: (i) any training data set(s) used to train and test the AI, (ii) related records including a description of why the data set(s) were selected for training, and (iii) documentation on the programming and training methodologies, processes or techniques used to build, test, and validate the AI;
    (3) provide clear information concerning the AI’s capabilities and limitations, in particular the purposes for which the AI is intended, the conditions under which it can be expected to function as intended, and the expected level of accuracy in achieving its specified purpose;

Contractor will also ensure the AI complies with any other written instructions or policies from Google, and all applicable laws and regulations concerning the use of AI.

If Contractor is not included in the Scope Advisor Program, Contractor must comply with the Production Guidelines, except for those that would require Contractor to contact a Scope Advisor consultant or obtain Scope Advisor consultant approval. The Production Guidelines may, depending on the region, permit markups for certain out-of-pocket production costs such as third party production, photographers, illustrators, editorial services, and publicity. Any other types of production fees or reimbursements may not be marked up. The Production Guidelines may also, depending on the region, set forth fees and procedures for production postponements and cancellations. Any conflict between the Production Guidelines and the ISA will be governed by this Section 2.15 (Production) of this Attachment. Any exceptions or variations under the Production Guidelines will only be permitted if (1) approved in advance by Google (including by email) and (2) done in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Production Guidelines. Google is not, and does not agree to become, contractually bound to AICP guidelines or any other entertainment industry guidelines or standards.
2.16 Expenses and Reimbursements.

All third party costs and expenses incurred by Contractor in connection with the Services and Deliverables will be paid by Contractor at its own cost unless the costs and expenses, and the third party, are expressly identified in a SOW as a reimbursable cost or expense, in which case Google will reimburse up to the specific amount stated in the SOW in accordance with ISA Section 3.2 (Expenses). Google also has the right to audit these expenses in accordance with ISA Section 12.5 (Records and Audit Rights). Google is not responsible for paying any costs or expenses incurred by Contractor resulting from Contractor’s error (including misclassification of Talent or miscalculation of Guild payments) or that Google did not pre-approve in writing.

3. Intellectual Property.
3.1 Pitches. To the extent that Services involve Contractor’s delivery of pitch-related Services, Contractor retains all rights in pitch content (excluding any Google Background IP or Third Party Materials incorporated in pitch content) unless and until Google selects the pitch for production, except that Contractor grants to Google a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use pitch content for the purpose of internal Google distribution, discussion, and evaluation. If Google selects a pitch for production, Google will pay Contractor an amount agreed upon by the parties, and Google will automatically own the pitch content as Deliverables in accordance with the terms of the ISA. Without limiting ISA Section 6.4 (Independent Development), Contractor recognizes that Google may concurrently or in the future develop or purchase information, materials, or services related to or similar to the Deliverables or pitch content, and nothing restricts Google from using such information, materials, or services in any manner or for any purpose.
3.2 Trademark Searches. Contractor may undertake preliminary trademark searches for the purposes of creating proposed Deliverables. If it does so, Contractor’s communications to Google concerning the results of preliminary trademark searches will be limited to identifying the list of potential brand elements that remain available for use.

For avoidance of doubt, all necessary rights and licenses include those relating to musical compositions, sound recordings, audiovisual content, images, other intellectual property, or names or likenesses that are, or are incorporated into, Deliverables. Default Usage Terms and Modified Usage Terms can be amended only by a SOW amendment. Any documents that purport to amend the Default Usage Terms or Modified Usage Terms (if any), including email communications and online terms, are void. When Contractor obtains rights and licenses for Third Party Materials, it will not create any payment obligations for Google (including royalties or payments under Guild agreements such as residuals and reuse fees) arising out of Google’s use or exploitation, other than the payments expressly provided for in an applicable SOW in accordance with Section 2.16 of this Attachment. When negotiating for Default Usage Terms and Modified Usage Terms, Contractor will act in Google’s best interests and seek to negotiate and secure, on behalf of Google, the most advantageous rates, fees, and costs.
  (B) Contractor is not responsible for specific Third Party Materials expressly identified in an applicable SOW as those for which the parties agree that Contractor is not responsible for obtaining such rights and licenses.
  (C) Contractor is solely responsible for preparing its own documents to obtain the rights required by this Section 3.4 of this Attachment in accordance with the requirements of this Attachment, including Sections 2.5 and 2.6, above.

If requested by Google, Contractor will cause all persons and entities that provide any portion of the Services or Deliverables under this Agreement, to sign nondisclosure agreements, releases, waivers, or licenses in the form(s) provided by Google, without modifications, in which case Contractor remains responsible for ensuring the forms are filled out correctly and for making any modifications necessary to meet Google’s needs.
  (D) Any permitted Third Party Materials will remain the property of such third parties and subject to their applicable license terms.
  (E) Contractor will notify Google in a SOW of any unusual terms, restrictions, or variations of the license terms needed to enable Google to use and exploit the Deliverables to the full extent anticipated under the SOW. Without limiting anything in this Agreement, Contractor will ensure it notifies Google of all costs, renewal options, and Guild fees and costs for Google’s pre-approval and, for avoidance of doubt, Contractor will comply with Section 2.16 (Expenses and Reimbursements) of this Attachment if Contractor will seek reimbursement from Google.
  (F) If there are Modified Usage Terms, Contractor will notify Google sixty (60) days in advance of the end of each license, permission, or other grant of usage rights. Google may request Contractor extend or renew the Modified Usage Terms in a SOW amendment.

4.2 If Contractor desires to provide services to a new third party client of Contractor, or new services to an existing third party client of Contractor, and the Contractor’s performance of such services (including any pitches or proposals) would, if performed, create a conflict of interest with Contractor’s performance of Services for Google (the “Conflicted Services”), then Contractor will notify in writing (email to suffice) Google’s Marketing Operations team, or its successor(s) or designee(s), prior to performing any Conflicted Services. Google will decide, in its sole discretion, and will confirm in writing:
  (A) that the third party is a Restricted Entity and Contractor’s obligations under this Section 4 will apply;
  (B) that the third party is not a Restricted Entity, in which case Contractor may provide services to the third party without any restrictions; or
  (C) that the Conflicted Services represent an irreconcilable risk and Google will terminate the affected SOWs according to ISA Section 11.3 (Termination for Convenience) if Contractor decides to proceed with the Conflicted Services.
4.3 Contractor will immediately notify Google in writing if, at any time during the term of the ISA: (A) any of Google’s Confidential Information is disclosed in violation of this Agreement; (B) Contractor is likely to become unable to perform Services for Google without violating any of the obligations stated in this Section 4; or (C) Contractor engages in any activity for any third party that Google may construe as a conflict of interest with Contractor’s performance of Services for Google.

6. Termination or Suspension.
6.1 Contractor may terminate this ISA upon 30 days prior written notice to Google if all outstanding SOWs will terminate or expire before the effective date of termination.

  (A) Contractor will promptly act to minimize and mitigate any cancellation or other charges. Google will reimburse Contractor for costs expressly set forth as non-cancellable in an applicable SOW.

  (D) When Licensed Marketing Data includes telephone numbers of data subjects (whether for telephone calls, text messages, short message services (“SMS”), or any other purpose), then Contractor will:
    (1) ensure, prior to transferring the Licensed Marketing Data to Google, that a scrub has been conducted on the Licensed Marketing Data against the United States National Do Not Call Registry or other governmental do not call registries in the states, countries, or regions where the data subjects of the Licensed Marketing Data are located;
    (2) ensure that any such telephone number has been obtained from the data subject through a transparent two-factor authentication consent process and that any such consent includes the right for Google to contact the data subject via telephone call and text message/SMS using an automatic telephone dialing system or autodialer, as defined by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, 47 U.S.C. Section 227, the Federal Communications Commission, or state laws and regulations, regardless of whether Google intends to contact the data subject via an autodialer;
    (3) scrub the Licensed Marketing Data to ensure the data subject is still the owner of the telephone number and has not revoked consent; and

14.4 Retention of Rights. As between the parties:
  (A) Contractor retains all rights in Licensed Marketing Data unless otherwise stated in an applicable SOW; and
  (B) Google retains all rights in Google products and services and any content created, submitted, or used in connection with the Google products and services, including: (i) updates, corrections to, or verifications of Licensed Marketing Data obtained from any source other than Contractor; and (ii) Google-created content, such as a Google quality control team’s corrections to Licensed Marketing Data.

Annex A

Influencer Guidelines
1. General.
  (a) Influencers will only make statements that reflect their honest beliefs, opinions, findings, or experiences.
  (b) Influencers will be bona fide users of products or services at the time they make any statements or endorsements concerning those products or services.
  (c) Influencers will not make any claims (whether about Google, its products or services, or about any competitor or its products or services) that are deceptive, misleading, unsubstantiated, not representative of typical user experiences, or that otherwise could not be made by Google directly. Keep in mind claims could be expressly stated or implied, so Influencers must consider what a reasonable consumer might infer from the Influencer’s statements.
  (d) Influencers will not engage in or associate with any defamatory, offensive, racy, violent, intimidating, morally dubious, unsafe or illegal activity (as determined in Google’s sole discretion).
  (e) Influencers will not infringe upon any third-party privacy rights, publicity rights, or intellectual property rights and will obtain any necessary written consents or releases from relevant third parties prior to disseminating Influencer Content.
2. Disclosures.
  (a) Influencers will clearly and conspicuously disclose any material connection to Google in all Influencer Content or other communications regarding Google or its products or services, regardless of whether the content or communication is within the scope of the Influencer’s agreement with Google.  Specifically:
    (i) If Influencer is paid for Influencer Content, then Influencer will disclose that they were paid using, at a minimum, the words “ad”, “paid,” or “sponsored,” or the equivalent translated phrase(s) if the Influencer Content is not in English.
    (ii) If Influencer received some other form of consideration from Google (i.e. free products or access to a Google service), Influencer will disclose the specific nature of the consideration received from Google; and
    (iii) If Influencer has some other material connection with Google (i.e. the Influencer is a contractor providing services to Google or is a “street team” member or “brand ambassador”, etc.) Influencer will disclose the extent of their relationship with Google and their participation in any Google program.
  (b) Influencers will use all available paid content/sponsorship/partnership disclosure tools on every platform where the Influencer posts Influencer Content. If the platform asks the Influencer to identify the sponsoring brand, the influencer will use either “Google” or the Google brand indicated in the SOW.
  (c) All disclosures must be positioned in close proximity to any statements about Google or its products or services, and prominent enough for users to easily see, hear, and understand the disclosures taking into consideration the nature of the format to ensure disclosure is still made in a small space or short time. At a minimum, Influencer will follow these format specific disclosure rules:
    (i)

Text-based content (including text-based posts about, or linking to, video content) will include appropriate disclosures within the first three lines of the content and always “above the fold”. For example "Ad" or "Paid" may be an appropriate disclosure in instances where Influencer has received consideration or where Google has the right to editorial control of the Influencer Content.

Example: An endorsement in one tweet followed by a disclosure in a second tweet, or a disclosure on a separate page (like on an “About Me” page), is not adequate.
    (ii) If a content platform allows the use of hashtags, Influencer will also include an appropriate disclosure in hashtag format. The disclosure hashtag must be the first hashtag in a string and cannot be mixed among other hashtags such that a user would be unlikely to notice the disclosure.
    (iii) Photographic content will superimpose an appropriate text-based disclosure in a manner that is legible and ensures users have sufficient time to notice and read the disclosure.
    (iv)

Audiovisual content will include appropriate audio and visual disclosures in the beginning of the video, with additional audio and visual disclosures repeated periodically in close proximity to any discussion of Google or its products or services (at least once every 5 - 10 minutes). At a minimum, the visual disclosures must include text-based disclosures within the video (not just in the description), and an appropriate audio disclosure, such as:

  • This video/post was sponsored by Google.”
  • “Check out my new sponsored post about Google!”
  • “Google paid me to make this video/post.”
  • “This is an ad for Google.”
  • “Includes paid promotion for Google.”
  • “Sponsored by Google.”

Example: Disclosing only in the “description” field of a YouTube video or hiding #ad after a “see more” link in an Instagram post is insufficient.

Example: Audio disclosures that are quieter than the rest of the video, or visual disclosures that are light grey font on a white background, or that use a small size font, or that quickly flash on screen, are not adequately clear and conspicuous.
3. Compliance.
  (a) Platform Terms. Influencer will comply with all terms of service, community guidelines and similar policies of any platform on which they post Influencer Content.
  (b) Compliance with Laws. The Influencer Guidelines establish the minimum expectations that Influencers must satisfy. Influencers will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those relating to advertising, endorsements and disclosures of paid or sponsored content, which may require additional disclosures or actions beyond those set forth in the Influencer Guidelines.
  (c) Press Inquiries. Influencer Content may generate press inquiries, in which case Influencer will first ask Contractor to obtain written approval from Google before communicating with the press about Google or its products or services. These Influencer Guidelines also apply to any communications between Influencers and the press.
  (d) Content Removal. If Google or Contractor requests that any item of Influencer Content created within the scope of this ISA be removed and deleted, Influencer will remove and delete such Influencer Content within 24 hours after receiving the request. If Influencer or any Influencer Content fails to satisfy the requirements of these Influencer Guidelines (as determined in Google’s sole discretion), Influencer will remove the specified Influencer Content as requested by Google or Contractor within 12 hours after the request.
  (e) Modification. Google may unilaterally modify the Influencer Guidelines at any time by written notice to Contractor.

 

Annex B

Inclusion Rider
1. Statement of Purpose.
1.1 At Google, we are on a journey to fully integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion into the way we work.

Our agency contractors are critical to this mission, as they help us focus on and develop creative messages that resonate with Google users.
1.2 It is our hope that we can build a more inclusive future and meet our industry needs together. To do that, we desire that you, our Contractor, commit to injecting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of your work while striving to find and engage the most appropriate person for the services for Google.
1.3 The purpose of this Inclusion Rider is to set out strategies and processes to increase representation in Contractor’s work for Google, particularly when Contractor is providing creative services to Google.
1.4 Contractor will perform Marketing Services for Google, keeping in mind the following principles:
  (A) Principle 1. Reflect diversity in creative work; shine a spotlight on stories and perspectives that aren’t accounted for.
  (B) Principle 2. Empower diverse voices throughout the entire creative process, from concepting to production, from off screen to on screen.

Contractor will inform Google before commencing the Services if Contractor considers the definition of Underrepresented is not appropriate or achievable having regard to the demographic of the country or market in which Services will be delivered.
3. Off Screen Roles.
3.1 Where Contractor undertakes Marketing Services for Google which require Contractor to create audiovisual Deliverables, Contractor will do the following:
  (A) Directors. For each piece of creative that Contractor produces or creates for Google which requires a director, Contractor will:

  (B) Other Significant Off-Screen Roles. For each piece of creative that Contractor produces or creates for Google which requires a Significant Off Screen Role (as defined below), Contractor will:
    (1) Consider at least one (1) individual who identifies as female and at least one (1) individual who identifies as otherwise Underrepresented for each role.
    (2) A “Significant Off Screen Role” means a role which includes direct responsibility for content creation, and where Contractor would reasonably be expected to consider two or more individuals for the applicable role, for example, lead writer, director of photography/cinematography, lead editor.
4. On Screen Roles.
4.1 Casting and talent. Where Contractor undertakes Marketing Services for Google which require Contractor to cast roles or hire talent, Contractor will consider the following individuals for the following roles:

  (B) Supporting Roles. Consider at least two (2) individuals who identify as Underrepresented for each supporting role, dependent on the storyline and/or script.  For the avoidance of doubt, if Contractor is not considering two or more candidates per supporting role, then Contractor is not required to comply with this Annex B Section 4.1(B).
4.2 Contractor will fill on-screen roles in line with the demographics of the setting of the applicable story, and in line with the needs of the story or marketing materials.
5. Creative.

  (A) Focus on Diverse Storylines and Diverse Characters. Present at least one storyline that addresses or focuses on or around an Underrepresented individual or group for Google to consider producing. For clarity, Contractor will present an Underrepresented individual as the lead of the storyline; if the focus of the storyline is a group, Contractor will present an Underrepresented group as the lead of the storyline.
  (B) Supporting Roles. Present at least one storyline that features Underrepresented individuals or groups in supporting roles.
  (C) Location/Settings. Consider setting the creative in locations that have higher percentages of Underrepresented groups.

6. Reporting.To the extent permitted under Applicable Data Protection Laws, Contractor  will maintain accurate records of compliance with this Inclusion Rider for all Marketing Services which are applicable, though for the avoidance of doubt nothing in this Inclusion Rider requires Contractor to process any special category of personal data within the meaning of the GDPR. At Google’s request, during the term of an applicable SOW and for one year after its termination, Contractor will provide Google with accurate reports (the “Inclusion Rider Reports”), for the period or  creative indicated, covering: (A) if applicable, whether Contractor complied with Annex B Sections 3, 4, and 5; and (B) if Contractor was unable to comply with its obligations in Annex B Section 3, 4, or 5, why it was unable to do so. All reporting will be transmitted to Google via Google Drive unless otherwise agreed by Google in writing (email to suffice). Contractor should not include any Personal Information in the Inclusion Rider Reports.
7. Compliance.
7.1 Google reserves the right to audit Contractor’s compliance with this Inclusion Rider, based on requesting the Inclusion Rider Reports as set out in Annex B Section 6.
7.2 Non-Compliance with Inclusion Rider. Based on the results of the Inclusion Rider Reports finding non-compliance with this Inclusion Rider, the following steps will be taken:
