Invoice Payment Practices

This information is as reported by the business, and responses are in their own words.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

The company enters into a range of agreements for the activities it undertakes, typically relying on the standard terms of the Google group. Standard terms include the Google Supplier Purchase Order Terms and Conditions and the Google Inbound Services Agreement. The terms state that the company will pay undisputed invoices within 60 days of receipt. For more information, and to view the Google Supplier Purchase Order Terms and Conditions in full, please visit https://www.google.com/corporate/suppliers. The company’s billing systems, which record and administer invoices, do not contain information about contract type. As such, while the majority of invoices in the system are expected to relate to qualifying contracts, the system is unable to distinguish qualifying contracts from non-qualifying contracts and some such data may be included in the reported statistics.
