Article 1 — Purpose

These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter “Terms”) govern the contractual relationship between LCMH, SARL registered with the Mulhouse Trade and Companies Register under number 512 161 324 (hereinafter “the Provider”) and any business client (hereinafter “the Client”) for the resale of Google Workspace licences.

These Terms apply to the exclusion of all other conditions, including those of the Client. They are deemed accepted without reservation by the Client upon signing the purchase order or, failing that, upon first use of the Services.

The Provider acts as an authorised Google Workspace reseller. Google Workspace Services are provided by Google and subject to the Google Cloud Terms of Service (which have incorporated the former Google Workspace terms since February 2026), available at: https://cloud.google.com/terms/ (hereinafter “Google ToS”).

These Terms are intended exclusively for business clients. The Client declares that it is acting in the course of its professional activity.

Article 2 — Services

The Provider supplies the Client with:

  • Google Workspace licences (Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise, or any other plan offered by Google);
  • Initial domain activation and configuration;
  • First-level support and usage guidance;
  • Consolidated monthly licence billing.

Features, service levels (SLA) and availability commitments are those defined by Google in its ToS and SLA available at: https://workspace.google.com/terms/sla/.

2.1 — Technical support

First-level support is provided by the Provider as follows:

  • Channel: email at the address indicated in the purchase order
  • Hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM–6:00 PM (French business days, Paris time)
  • Target response time: four (4) business hours for acknowledgement, twenty-four (24) business hours for a qualified response

Technical incidents requiring Google intervention are escalated to Google Workspace support under the Google SLA. The Provider does not guarantee resolution times for incidents within Google’s infrastructure.

Article 3 — Pricing and price revisions

3.1 — Price determination

Prices invoiced to the Client are determined by the Provider and communicated in the purchase order or quote. Unless a specific negotiated rate applies, prices correspond to the published Google Workspace prices in effect at the time of billing, as published at https://workspace.google.com/pricing.html.

The Client acknowledges that prices may evolve in line with Google’s published rates, without this constituting a modification of these Terms.

Prices are expressed in euros (€) and are exclusive of tax (HT). Applicable VAT will be added at the prevailing rate.

3.2 — Price revisions

Google reserves the right to change its prices at any time, with thirty (30) days’ notice in accordance with its ToS (Section 2.6). The impact on the Client depends on the plan subscribed:

  • Flexible Plan (monthly): the new pricing applies thirty (30) days after Google’s notification. The Client will be informed at least thirty (30) days before application. In case of disagreement, the Client may terminate the contract in accordance with Article 9.2.

  • Annual Plan (12-month commitment): in accordance with Section 2.6(b) of the Google ToS, the new pricing only applies upon renewal of the annual commitment period. During the current commitment period, the initial price remains unchanged. The Client will be informed of the new pricing at least thirty (30) days before renewal.

In all cases, prices invoiced by the Provider may evolve to reflect changes in Google’s pricing.

3.3 — Discounts

Commercial discounts may be granted to the Client by the Provider. They are defined contractually and stated on the purchase order or quote. Discounts apply to the Google published price and are automatically recalculated in the event of changes to Google’s pricing.

Article 4 — Billing

Licences are billed monthly, in arrears, based on the number of active users during the elapsed period.

Each invoice details:

  • The Google Workspace plan subscribed;
  • The number of users;
  • The unit price per user excluding tax;
  • The billing period;
  • The total amount excluding tax, VAT and the total amount including tax.

Invoices are sent electronically to the Client’s email address.

Article 5 — Payment

5.1 — Method

Payment is made by SEPA Direct Debit (SEPA CORE scheme). The Client authorises the Provider to debit the amounts due from the bank account designated in the SEPA direct debit mandate signed by the Client.

5.2 — Due date and prior notification

Invoices are payable by SEPA direct debit executed fourteen (14) calendar days after their date of issue. The transmission of the invoice by email constitutes prior notification of the direct debit, in accordance with the requirements of the SEPA CORE scheme.

This period may be reduced by mutual agreement between the parties, but may not be less than five (5) business days.

5.3 — SEPA mandate

Prior to the first direct debit, the Client signs a SEPA CORE direct debit mandate authorising the Provider to initiate debits from their bank account.

The Client may revoke this mandate at any time through their bank, with immediate effect for future debits. However, revocation of the SEPA mandate does not constitute termination of the contract: the Client remains liable to pay outstanding invoices by alternative means (bank transfer) and must notify the Provider of their intention to terminate the contract in accordance with Article 9.

5.4 — Dispute

In accordance with the SEPA CORE scheme, the Client has a right of dispute of eight (8) weeks from the date of debit for any authorised debit, and thirteen (13) months for any unauthorised debit.

5.5 — Late payment

In the event of rejected direct debit or non-payment, late payment penalties will be applied at the rate provided for by Article L.441-10 of the French Commercial Code (ECB key rate plus 10 percentage points), without any reminder being necessary.

A fixed recovery indemnity of forty (40) euros will be due automatically, in accordance with Article D.441-5 of the French Commercial Code.

The Provider reserves the right to suspend access to the Services in the event of persistent non-payment after formal notice remaining unanswered for fifteen (15) days.

The Provider undertakes to:

  • Provide Google Workspace licences in accordance with the subscribed plans;
  • Provide first-level support by email within a reasonable timeframe;
  • Inform the Client of any changes to Google’s pricing or terms;
