Payments
Subject to this Section 5 and
Section 10 of these AdSense Terms, you will receive a payment related to the number
of valid clicks on Ads displayed on your Properties, the number of valid
impressions of Ads displayed on your Properties or other valid events performed
in connection with the display of Ads on your Properties, in each case as
determined by Google.
Except in the event of termination,
we will pay you by the end of the calendar month following any calendar month
in which the earned balance in your Account equals or exceeds the applicable
payment threshold. If you implement search Services, our payments may be offset
by any applicable fees for such Services.
Unless expressly authorised in
writing by Google, you may not enter into any type of arrangement with a third
party where that third party receives payments made to you under the Agreement
or other financial benefit in relation to the Services.
Payments will be calculated solely
based on our accounting. Payments to you may be withheld to reflect or adjusted
to exclude any amounts refunded or credited to advertisers and any amounts
arising from invalid activity, as determined by Google in its sole discretion.
Invalid activity is determined by Google in all cases and includes, but is not
limited to, (i) spam, invalid queries, invalid impressions or invalid clicks on
Ads generated by any person, bot, automated program or similar device,
including through any clicks or impressions originating from your IP addresses
or computers under your control; (ii) clicks solicited or impressions generated
by payment of money, false representation or requests for end users to click on
Ads or take other actions; (iii) Ads served to end users whose browsers have
JavaScript disabled and (iv) clicks or impressions co-mingled with a
significant amount of the activity described in (i, ii and iii) above.
In addition to our other rights and
remedies, we may (a) withhold and offset any payments owed to you under the
Agreement against any fees that you owe us under the Agreement or any other
agreement, or (b) require you to refund us within 30 days of any invoice, any
amounts we may have overpaid to you in prior periods. If you dispute any
payment made or withheld relating to the Services, you must notify Google in
writing within 30 days of any such payment. If you do not, any claim relating
to the disputed payment is waived. If an advertiser whose Ads are displayed on
any Property defaults on payment to Google, we may withhold payment or charge
back your account.
To ensure proper payment, you are
responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact and payment
information in your Account. You are responsible for any charges assessed by
your bank or payment provider.
