| 60 | | ** 8. Payment. ** You may designate a purchase and/or rental price in the Metadata Form that end users must pay in order to download Your Authorized Content. If you do not designate a price for Your Authorized Content, the price will automatically be set at zero. Except as otherwise set forth herein, In the event of any download of Your Authorized Content, by end users, We will pay to You seventy percent (70%) of the gross revenues, if any, recognized by Google and attributable to such video playback of Your Authorized Content based upon the price you designate. If We incur extraordinary costs and expenses in hosting, indexing and displaying Your Authorized Content relative to its designated price, then We may retain a greater percentage of the revenues in order to defray these costs. If You have not designated a price for Your Authorized Content and We incur extraordinary costs and expenses in hosting, indexing and displaying Your Authorized Content, we may charge a fee to end users in order to defray these costs. Provided You have registered for the Program and have provided all necessary information to Google in order for Us to make payments to You, Payments to You shall be sent by Google within approximately thirty (30) days after the end of any calendar quarter, at a minimum; provided that (i) Your earned balance is $100 or more and (ii) this Agreement has been in effect for at least sixty (60) days in that quarter. If Your earned balance is less than $100 but greater than $1, Google will pay Your earned balance within approximately thirty (30) days following the end of the calendar year or the end of the calendar quarter in which You earn a balance of over $100, whichever comes first. In the event that this Agreement is terminated, Google shall pay Your earned balance to You within approximately ninety (90) days after the end of the calendar month in which Google recognizes that the Agreement has been terminated, but in no event shall Google make payments for any earned balance less than $10. All references herein to dollars shall be to United States dollars. Google reserves the right to retain all other revenues derived from Google services. The number of purchases and/or rentals of Your Authorized Content, as reported by Google, shall be the number used in calculating payments hereunder, if any. The number of purchases and/or rentals recorded by Google shall be the conclusive and definitive amount for the purpose of calculation of any payments due and owing to You. You agree to pay all applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity in connection with Your rights and obligations under this Agreement. You further agree to indemnify Google for any taxes, interest, penalties, etc. imposed on it by any taxing authority in the event that You fail to make any payment for which you are responsible, as provided herein . Notwithstanding the foregoing, Google shall not be liable for any payment (i) based on any purchase or rental of or access to Your Authorized Content through any fraudulent or invalid means, including but not limited to the fraudulent use of credit cards of other means of payment, (ii) based on purchases or rentals of Your Authorized Content that are refunded or (iii) as a result of any claim that, if true, would constitute a breach of Section 10 of this Agreement, or (iv) as result of any other breach of this Agreement by You. Google reserves the right to withhold payment or charge back Your account due to any of the foregoing, or if necessary to enforce its rights under Section 11. You agree to cooperate with Google in its investigation of any of the foregoing. To ensure proper payment, You are solely responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact and payment information associated with Your account. For U.S. taxpayers, this information includes without limitation a valid U.S. tax identification number and a fully-completed Form W-9. All payments under this Agreement will reflect the payment of any taxes imposed by governmental entities of whatever kind and imposed with respect to transactions in connection with this Agreement. Any bank fees related to returned or cancelled checks due to a contact or payment information error or omission may be deducted from the newly issued payment. You shall not, and shall not authorize or encourage any third party to directly or indirectly purchase, rent or otherwise obtain access to Your Authorized Content through any automated, deceptive, fraudulent or other invalid means, including but not limited to through repeated manual clicks, the use of robots or other automated query tools and/or computer generated search requests, and/or the fraudulent use of other search engine optimization services and/or software or credit cards. Google reserves the right to investigate, at its own discretion, any activity that may violate this Agreement. |

The relationship between Google and You is not one of a legal partnership relationship, but is one of independent contractors.

This Agreement does not affect any right that either party would have had, or shall have, independent of the Agreement including rights relating to Authorized Content under applicable law, including but not limited to copyright law.

The failure of either party to act in the event of a breach of this Agreement by the other shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach or a waiver of future breaches. The section titles used in this Agreement are purely for convenience and carry with them no legal or contractual effect. Except as to any prior version of this Content Hosting Service Agreement between you and Google that sets forth the license to and use by Google of your Authorized Content, (i) nothing in this Agreement is intended to be, or will be construed as, altering, revising, modifying or otherwise amending any other content hosting services agreement; and (ii) in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other content hosting service agreement that You enter into with Google with respect to Your Authorized Content, the terms of that other content hosting services agreement shall govern. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the parties. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. Any litigation hereunder shall be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in Santa Clara County, California; the parties agree that venue shall be proper in, and consent to the personal jurisdiction of, such courts. The parties specifically exclude from application to the Agreement the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act. The provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, and 14 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. |
