  3.4 Reseller shall pay Google (or such Google Group Company as may be nominated by Google from time to time), for all AdWords Inventory purchased by Reseller pursuant to the AdWords Ts and Cs (as defined in clause 4.1) monthly in arrears based on the actual amount spent by Reseller on AdWords Inventory under this Agreement, as determined in the invoice prepared by Google on a monthly basis.

LOGO

Guidelines for use of the “Authorised Google AdWords Reseller” logo

 

   

The logo must be displayed on a white background, with no additional shadows or embellishments.

 

   

Reseller may use the logo in emails, but all emails must comply with CAN-SPAM and other local market laws regarding emails and email spam.

 

   

Reseller may use the logo on its business cards, letterhead stationery, resume, website, and marketing materials to indicate that it is a current Authorised Google AdWords Reseller.

 

   

If Reseller is using the logo on a webpage, there must exist a minimum spacing that is no less than 1/2 the height of the logo between each side of the logo and other graphic or textual elements on the webpage.

Reseller cannot do any of the following:

 

   

Change the aspect ratio or colours of the logo in any way.

 

   

Display the logo as the most prominent element on its webpage.

 

   

Display the logo in any manner that implies a relationship or affiliation with Google or sponsorship or endorsement by Google beyond that of an Authorised Reseller for AdWords. The logo cannot be used in a way that can be reasonably interpreted to suggest editorial content has been authored by or represents the views or opinions of Google or Google personnel.

 

   

Display the logo on any product, book, or other materials (other than what was specified as acceptable in the guidelines in this Exhibit B).

 

   

Display the logo on any website that contains or displays adult content, promotes gambling, involves the sale of tobacco or alcohol to persons under 21 years of age, or otherwise violates applicable law or stated Google editorial policies.

 

   

Display the logo in a manner that is in Google’s sole opinion misleading, defamatory, infringing, libelous, disparaging, obscene, or otherwise objectionable to Google.

 

   

Display the logo on any website that violates any law or regulation.

 

   

Frame or mirror any Google page (including the page that appears in response to a click on the Google logo or Google search box).

Include the logo in Reseller’s trade or business name, domain name, product or service name, logo, trade dress, design, slogan, or other trademarks.

Google may, in its sole discretion, amend or replace the Authorised Google AdWords Reseller Logo from time to time during the Term (each new or amended version of the same being a “Replacement Logo”).

 

   

Where Google amends or replaces the Authorised Google AdWords Reseller Logo, Google will notify the Reseller in writing and will provide the Reseller with the Replacement Logo. The Reseller’s use of any Replacement Logo is subject to these guidelines (as updated from time to time by Google) and this Agreement.
