Where Partner has not qualified for any Partner Capability Fund, Google will not provide an Incentive Report.

5.2 For each Performance Period, Partner has only one opportunity to contest Incentive Report issued by Google under Section 5.1 and must notify Google of its detailed disagreement to the Incentive Report within 7 calendar days of receipt of such Incentive Report. In the event Partner does not notify Google within such a period of time, Partner will be deemed to have accepted Google’s determination as to the Partner Capability Fund.

In such circumstances, the provisions of section 5.2 will apply from the date of the corrected Incentive Report. Where an error in the Incentive Report is discovered after the Partner Capability Fund has been paid, section 6.6 will apply.

5.5 Neither Partner, nor any Eligible Partner Affiliates, nor any third party which is not appointed by Google, will have the right to conduct any audit of Google or its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement.

6.3 Payments to Partner may be made by cheque, wire transfer or other methods, in Google’s sole discretion. Payments to Partner will be made pursuant to payment instruction. Partner will provide Google all information in writing (which for purposes hereof, may be provided by e-mail), which will include such instructions, information and documentation required by Google to enable Google to complete the payments to the appropriate account.

Should the payment amount received by Partner be different from the numbers in the Incentive Report, Partner has 30 days to notify Google if Partner disagrees with such payment, if any. After 30 days have passed, the Partner gives up the right to contest the difference.

6.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Google reasonably determines that:

(b) any Partner Entity has Account Receivable with Overdue Days of 30 or more, Google may cancel, suspend or withhold payment of any Partner Capability Fund for a minimum one month until all such Account Receivable is fully paid; furthermore, if following the end of the Performance Period, any Partner Entity has 10% or more of total Account Receivable with Overdue Days of 60 or more, Partner waives the right to receive any Partner Capability Fund earned during the Performance Period; Google reserves the right to exclude from Qualifying Spend of any Ads spend which, as at the end of any Performance Period, is 30 days or more past due.

If the Partner Entities would like to change, add or update any Payment Profile of Partner Entities, Partner Entities shall notify Google of the detailed changes 30 days prior to the date when the Payment Profile of Partner Entities will be officially effective. Otherwise the Qualifying Spend may be partially missed outside the Program.
