Last modified: March 3, 2025
This page is referenced in the Marketplace Vendor Agreement between You and Google or the other agreement under which Google lists Your Products on the Marketplace (the “Agreement”) and lists the transactions for which Google and/or its applicable Affiliate will act on Your behalf as Your Payment Agent as set forth in the Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined on this page have the meaning given to them in the Agreement. To the extent there is a conflict between the terms stated on this page and the provisions of the Agreement, the terms stated on this page will prevail.
Subject to the contents of this page, Google and/or the applicable Affiliate listed in the “Payment Agent Entities” table below will act as Your Payment Agent with respect to any payment transaction for Your Products on the Marketplace where (i) You are located in any Vendor Agency Country and (ii) the Customer is located in a Customer Agency Country, respectively in the table below (any such transaction, an “Agency Transaction”). For all other transactions, Google will be the merchant of record and Your reseller with respect to sales of Your Products to Customers through the Marketplace.
You agree that Google and the applicable entity acting as Your Payment Agent reserve the right to delay processing or settlement of payment transactions (including the payment of Vendor Net Revenue to You) in the event You or a Customer do not successfully complete Google's Compliance Process (as defined in the Agreement), including identity verification, or Google or the applicable Payment Agent reasonably believe there is potentially suspicious, illegal, or fraudulent activity related to Your or a Customer's use of the Marketplace or a transaction on the Marketplace for Your Products. Neither Google nor the applicable Payment Agent will have any liability to You for any delay in making settled funds available to You under this paragraph.
