7.4       Non-Qualifying Ads and Authorised Content Purchases.          Notwithstanding the foregoing, Google shall not be liable to make any payments to you based on revenues generated by: (a) any amounts which result from invalid queries, or invalid clicks on Ads, generated by any person, bot, automated program or similar device, including, without limitation, through any clicks or impressions: (i) originating from your IP addresses or computers under your control; or (ii) solicited by payment of money, false representation or request for end users to click on Ads; (b) Ads delivered to end users whose browsers have JavaScript disabled; (c) Ads benefiting charitable organisations and other placeholder or transparent Ads that Google may deliver; (d) Google advertisements for its own products and/or services; (e) clicks co-mingled with a significant number of invalid clicks described in (a) above; (f) any purchase of or access to Authorised Content through any fraudulent or invalid means, including but not limited to the fraudulent use of credit cards or other means of payment; (g) purchases of Authorised Content that are refunded; or (h) as a result of any breach of this Agreement by you; in each case as reasonably determined by Google.  Google reserves the right to withhold payment of, or set off against your account, amounts due as a result of any of the foregoing, pending Google’s reasonable investigation of any of the above reasons, or if necessary to enforce Google’s rights under clause 9 of this Agreement.

7.5       To ensure proper payment, you are solely responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact and payment information associated with its account.  All payments made in connection with this Agreement are exclusive of taxes imposed by governmental entities of whatever kind and imposed with respect to the transactions for services provided under this Agreement, and you agree to pay all applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity in connection with your rights and obligations under this Agreement without deduction or set-off.  Any bank fees related to returned or cancelled checks due to a contact or payment information error or omission may be deducted from the newly issued payment.
