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.

 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, including without limitation from Ads that appear on any video search results pages. The number of queries, impressions of and clicks on Ads, and 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 queries, impressions of and clicks on Ads, and 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 .

Google reserves the right to withhold payment or charge back Your account due to any of the foregoing, any breach of this Agreement by You, or if necessary to enforce its rights under Section 11, pending Google's reasonable investigation of any of the foregoing or any breach of this Agreement by You, or in the event that an advertiser whose Ads are displayed on Playback Pages or via the Google Video Player in conjunction with the display of Your Authorized Content defaults on payment for such Ads to Google. 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 generate queries, impressions of or clicks on any Ads(s) or 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, including but not limited to any use of a software application to access Ads or any engagement in any activity prohibited by this Agreement. Google may change its pricing and/or payment structure at any time. In addition, if You are past due on any payment to Google in connection with any Google program (including without limitation the Google AdWords program), Google reserves the right to withhold payment until all outstanding payments have been made or to offset amounts owed to You in connection with the Program by amounts owed by You to Google. For purposes of this Agreement, "Playback Pages" is a page or pages where end users will be able to playback via streaming technology at no cost at least a thirty-second preview of Your selected Authorized Content and to view more detailed information relating to Your Authorized Content, and where certain end users will be able to purchase (if such functionality is made available), download and view in the Google Video Player additional amounts of Your selected Authorized Content that You designate. Playback Pages may be revised or modified by Google in its sole discretion. "Google Video Player" is one or more computer program players made available to end users which is used or useful in the transmission, performance and/or playback of multimedia content so that the digital data that embodies the audio or audiovisual recording concerned can be perceived by and communicated to an end user of such computer program when used in conjunction with the aid of a machine or device. The Google Video Player is intended for use by end users in connection with the transmission, performance and/or playback of Your Authorized Content during each session in which the end user concerned has access to reproductions, performances and/or transmissions of Your Authorized Content made available via Google services.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and remain enforceable between the parties. 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.
