Standard payment terms
Google UK enters into a range of agreements for the activities it undertakes. Standard terms include the Google Supplier Purchase Order Terms and Conditions (primarily used for purchasing goods) and the Google Inbound Services Agreement (primary used for purchasing services). Google’s standard terms state that Google will pay undisputed invoices within 30 business days of receipt, which is typically around 45 calendar days.
For more information, and to view the Google Supplier Purchase Order Terms and Conditions in full, please visit the Google Supplier Site at https://www.google.com/corporate/suppliers.
Google UK'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.
