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.
  (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).

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.

  (B) Contractor will not destroy any of Google’s Background IP without Google's prior written consent.

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.

When negotiating for Default Usage Terms and Modified Usage Terms, Contractor will act in Google’s best interests and seek to negotiate and secure, the most advantageous rates, fees, and costs for Google.

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

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 (e.g., #sponsored, or #ad in EMEA and Japan).
    (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 (e.g., #giftfromgoogle);
    (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.
    (iv) Influencer will use any words, phrases, disclosures, or hashtags recommended by Google;
    (v) If the Influencer Content is not in English, then Influencer will use the equivalent translated version of the words, phrases, disclosures, or hashtags; and
    (vi) Notwithstanding the above, Influencer will use any words, phrases, disclosures, or hashtags required by applicable law.
  (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”. 
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.
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.
