The Provider warrants the Customer that the provision of the Services shall not infringe any intellectual property (copyright, patent right, trademark right) of any third party; save that notwithstanding the generality of this clause, the Provider shall have no liability as a result of a breach of the warranty set out in this clause if the infringement of any intellectual property of any third party which gives rise to such breach occurs as a result of the use by Provider of any Data, assets, software and/or hardware put at its disposal by the Customer or on behalf of the Customer within the performance of the Services.
The Provider shall indemnify and hold the Customer harmless from and against any third party claims and/or actions and/or proceedings relating to any item used by Provider to provide the Services, based on an infringement of intellectual property rights, and shall bear, subject to the provisions of the article “Liability”, all related definitive damages and indemnities which may result from such claims and/or actions and/or proceedings in relation to the Agreement, provided that: (i) the Customer promptly notifies Provider in writing of the claim, action or proceeding and communicate all information required to defend its interest to the Provider; and (ii) the Customer agrees that Provider shall, if so required by the latter, have sole and exclusive control of the defense of the claim, action or proceeding and (iii) that the Customer make no admission or statement of any kind that may hinder the Provider’s defense.

third party with the Agreement;
- using the Services in
combination with any hardware, software, application or service
made available or provided by a third party;

If the Customer does not agree to the change, the Agreement may be terminated by the Customer.
Provider may also provide the Customer with releases of Software Libraries from time to time. The Customer shall install such Releases as indicated by Provider in order to not affect the proper performance of the Services.
Software Libraries releases made available to the Customer shall be subject to the provisions of the Agreement as if they formed part of the original Software Libraries, unless the release is accompanied by a separate license in which case the terms of that license will govern.
Changes in the systems, software, applications (including APIs) or organizations of the Customer or third parties, such as publishers, may generate disturbances and problems with the use of the Services, or may even prevent the use of such Services. The Provider shall bear no responsibility what so ever for any defaults, malfunctions, interruptions or impossibility to use the Services resulting from such changes.
The Customer may change the parameters of the Services ordered using the on line tools available on the Provider’s Website. Such changes will not affect the rest of the Agreement and the present terms especially will continue to govern access to and use of the Services by the Customer.
The Provider may update these terms from time to time. The most current version will be posted on the Provider’s Website.
The Provider may require the Customer to consent to the updated terms in a specified manner before further use of the Services is permitted. If the Customer does not agree to such updated terms the Customer shall stop using the Services and notify Provider that the Customer does not agree with such changes. Otherwise the Customer will be deemed to have accepted the changes.
The Customer acknowledges that the Services may include features designed to monitor Customer’s compliance with applicable usage limitations set forth in the Agreement.
In addition, the Provider may audit Customer’s use of the Services upon reasonable advance notice, not more than once per calendar year unless the Provider has reasonable cause to believe that the Customer is using or permitting the Services to be used in an unauthorized manner.
If any such monitoring or audit reveals that the Services have been used in excess of the applicable usage limitations or in any other unauthorized manner, the Customer will, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Provider’s invoice, reimburse the Provider for the reasonable, documented costs of such audit and pay any additional charges that would apply, under the Provider’s then-current prices, for such excess or other unauthorized use, without limitation of any other remedies the Provider may have under law or the Agreement.

The Service is hosted by Google and in particular is based on using the “Google Cloud Platform”. The Data may be hosted in the European Union or in the United States.

Electronic documents introduced as evidence in any judicial, arbitration, mediation or administrative proceeding will, if established and maintained in the ordinary course of business, be admissible to the same extent as business records in written paper form that are similarly established and maintained.

All use of the Services as well as all use of the results of the processing performed through the Service shall be under the Customer’s authority and responsibility.
The Customer acknowledges and agrees that it has accepted the terms of the Agreement in the knowledge that the Provider’s liability is limited and that the prices and charges payable have been calculated so as to reflect such limitations and thus represent a reasonable and commercial allocation of risk between the Parties.
Except and only to the extent foregoing restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law, in no event shall the Provider be liable for indirect damages, loss of profits, loss of goodwill, loss of business, loss of revenue, loss of contracts, loss of anticipated savings, loss of data, loss of clients, damage to or corruption of data or business information arising out of the Agreement or of the Services or arising out of the use of or inability to use the Services, even if the Provider has been advised of, knew or should have known of the possibility of such damages.
Except and only to the extent foregoing restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law, the Provider’s total aggregate liability, for the period of the Agreement, for all claims and damages arising from negligence, breach of contract, warranty or indemnity, or any other legal theory of liability or otherwise, under or in connection with the Agreement, shall not exceed an amount equivalent to the Fees (excluding taxes) payable or paid by the Customer to the Provider under the Agreement during the six (6) months immediately preceding the (most recent) event giving rise to the liability.
For the avoidance of doubt clauses above apply whether such loss is direct, indirect, consequential or otherwise.
The limitation of liability has effect in relation both to any liability expressly provided for under this Agreement and to any liability arising by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of any term of this Agreement.
The Provider shall have no liability arising out of or in connection with the availability, performance, non-performance, defective performance, maintenance or otherwise of any third party telecommunication lines, networks, systems and/or associated or supporting systems used, directly or indirectly, by the Customer, including publisher’s items, to access the Services or otherwise benefit from the Services.
The Provider shall be relieved of liability for any failure to provide or delay in providing any of the Services arising out of or in connection with a Relief Event.

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Article will survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason.

No omission, delay or forbearance on the part of a Party in enforcing any right or remedy arising in connection with the Agreement will be construed or operate as a waiver of either that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy will preclude or restrict the further exercise or enforcement of any such right or remedy. No waiver by a Party will be valid unless in writing and signed by a duly authorised representative of that Party.
The Provider reserves the right to subcontract the execution of the Services to third parties qualified by the Provider. The Provider will however remain primarily responsible for the execution of the Services.

Article titles and those in the Agreement are purely informational and shall not be deemed to condition the meaning or interpretation thereof.
