If Customer uploads, submits, stores, sends or receives content through use of the Optimize 360 Service, Customer must have, and represents that Customer has, all necessary rights to do so, and agrees that Google is not responsible for, and will not be liable for, any such content, including any content Customer received from a third party and any damage arising from the use of that content.

Customer may control what GA Properties are linked to Customer’s Optimize account in Customer’s applicable settings in the Optimize or Google Analytics user interfaces. For Google Analytics accounts associated with the GA Properties that Customer links (or has linked on its behalf) to the Optimize 360 Service, Customer agrees to share Customer’s data between Google Analytics and the Optimize 360 Service as necessary to provide the Optimize 360 Service and the Google Analytics service. Subject to this Section 2.3 and Section 4.1 below and Customer’s settings in the Optimize and GA 360 Suite Home user interfaces (if any and as applicable), Google will not otherwise use Customer’s Google Analytics Customer Data (as defined in the GA Terms) other than as permitted in Customer’s Google Analytics account settings. If Customer uses Optimize 360 hereunder with a free Google Analytics account, delays or issues with Google Analytics reporting may result in delays, inconsistencies, stale data or other issues with the results generated by the Optimize 360 Service. For clarity, unless explicitly specified otherwise herein, all references to “Google Analytics” throughout this Agreement include Analytics 360 if Customer is an Analytics 360 customer.

2.6 SUBSIDIARY USE. A wholly owned subsidiary of Customer (other than an entity that is organized in Russia or China) (“Subsidiary”), may receive the Optimize 360 Service provided under Customer’s Agreement so long as such entity remains a wholly owned subsidiary of Customer and provided that Customer will be liable for the acts and omissions of such Subsidiary to the extent any of such Subsidiary’s acts or omissions, if performed by Customer, would constitute a breach of, or otherwise give rise to liability under, the Agreement.

Each party (and any Affiliates, employees and agents to whom it has disclosed Confidential Information) may use Confidential Information only to exercise rights and fulfill obligations under the Agreement. Each party is responsible for any actions of its Affiliates, employees and agents in violation of this Section.

APPENDIX A: SLAS AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT
SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS
Google will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Service meets the service levels indicated below (collectively, the “SLAs”). For clarity, the SLAs do not apply during Downtime experienced during (i) time resulting from technical malfunctions in the Mobile SDKs, in Customer’s website’s systems, or any other circumstances beyond Google’s reasonable control (including, without limitation, Internet delays, network congestion and ISP malfunctions) and (ii) time required for routine system maintenance (with notice to Customer, such as through in-product notifications) or customer initiated account upgrades. If Google fails to meet the SLAs in any calendar month, and if Customer meets Customer’s obligations under the SLAs, Customer will be eligible to receive credit in an amount equal to monthly fees paid by Customer for the calendar months during which Google failed to meet the applicable SLAs (“Credit”). In order to receive such Credit, Customer must notify Reseller and Reseller must notify Google within 30 days from the time Customer becomes eligible to receive such Credit. Failure to comply with this requirement will forfeit Customer’s right to such Credit. Credit will be issued as a credit memo for the affected invoice (which Customer may apply to its following monthly invoice). The maximum Credit that Customer may be eligible for in the aggregate in any given calendar month is 100% of monthly fees. If Google fails to meet any of the SLAs in any 3 consecutive months or in any 4 months in any 12-consecutive month period, Customer will have a one-time right to terminate the Agreement upon prior written notice to Reseller and Reseller’s prior written notice to Google, subject to such notice being received by Reseller and Google within 30 days of the end of the month in which Customer becomes eligible for such right of termination. The remedies set forth in these SLAs are Customer’s sole and exclusive remedies for any failure by Google to meet the SLAs.
| SLAs | Downtime |

Optimize Container Delivery SLA Customer’s Optimize Containers, as most recently published by Customer, will be served to Properties configured to send Hits to an OEP and enabled under the Optimize 360 Service at the lesser of the following: (i) 99.99% of Optimize Container requests, as most recently published by Customer or (ii) the total number of Optimize Container requests in any calendar month minus 500 Optimize Container requests. |
Periods of Optimize 360 Service unavailability. |
The Optimize Container Delivery SLA only applies (1) if Customer uses the Service in accordance with the Agreement, (2) when the Optimize Container is requested of an Optimize 360 server and (3) the total number of requests for all Optimize Containers across all Properties is no more than 20 billion per month, calculated on a calendar monthly basis.
SLA EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITS.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, GOOGLE WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY (INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OR SLA OBLIGATIONS) UNDER THE AGREEMENT ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY BETA FEATURES. THE MAXIMUM SLA REMEDY FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL MONTH IS 100% OF THE FEES INCURRED BY CUSTOMER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR THAT MONTH.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT:
INSTALLATION SUPPORT:
Reseller will provide commercially reasonable ongoing implementation guidance for one Optimize 360 experiment of Customer’s choosing. With respect to Mobile SDKs, any implementation support provided by Reseller will be limited to: (i) the then-current Mobile SDK and (ii) for a period of 6 months after the release date of the then-current Mobile SDK, the version of the Mobile SDK that immediately preceded the then-current Mobile SDK. Reseller will also provide commercially reasonable ongoing maintenance support for the Optimize 360 Service for Customer’s OEPs throughout the term of the Agreement.
ON-GOING SUPPORT:
Reseller will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the target response and resolution timeframes set forth at https://support.google.com/360suite/optimize/answer/6396562 (as modified from time to time at Google’s sole discretion, the “Support SLAs”). The priority level of support cases logged by Customer will initially be designated by Customer, in its reasonable discretion based on the descriptions in the table at the link above. Reseller Customer Support may lower the priority level designation of any case (a “Priority Adjustment”) if Reseller, in its reasonable discretion, believes that Customer’s initial priority designation does not comport with the descriptions in the table. Reseller Customer Support will notify Customer as soon as is reasonably practicable of any Priority Adjustment. Reseller Customer Support may also perform a Priority Adjustment while permanent solutions are being developed, as soon as a workaround solution is implemented.
With respect to Mobile SDKs, on-going support provided by Reseller will be limited to: (i) the then-current Mobile SDK and (ii) for a period of 6 months after the release date of the then-current Mobile SDK, the version of the Mobile SDK that immediately preceded the then-current Mobile SDK.
Target resolution times are goals. Depending on the volume and severity of tickets submitted, response times and time to resolution may vary. Occasionally an issue needs to be escalated to our engineering team. In such cases, it may take more time to resolve the issue. Customer’s customer support representative will keep Customer informed throughout the process.
In addition to the above on-going support, Reseller will provide Customers with the necessary front-end technical support, defined as reactive troubleshooting and maintenance support. Reseller may charge Customers for front-end technical support if Reseller provides more than 4 hours of front-end technical support per month.
TRAINING:
Customer may attend Optimize 360 training classes provided by Google and delivered via webinar, free of charge.
