After the Verifying Party takes ownership and control of Domain Name and all associated End User Accounts (including Customer's Account), then, notwithstanding any term to the contrary in the Cloud Data Processing Addendum, Customer or its End Users may not be able to delete End User Account(s) or delete or export any Customer Data depending on the administration of the Services.

    4. 7.4?Data Processing Instruction. If Customer takes no action to delete or export any Customer Data before the Verifying Party takes ownership and control of the Domain Name and all associated End User Accounts (including Customer's Account), then, notwithstanding Section 6.2 (Return or Deletion When Term Ends) of the Cloud Data Processing Addendum, Customer acknowledges that these Service Specific Terms document Customer's instructions to Google to: (a) retain after termination of the Agreement as described in Section 7.6 (Termination After Domain Verification) all Customer Data that has not been deleted by Customer prior to such termination; and (b) make such retained Customer Data available to the Verifying Party.

    5. 7.5?Consent to Administration. Where applicable, Customer agrees to allow: (a) the Verifying Party to have the access and capabilities described in the Agreement; and (b) Google to provide the Verifying Party with the access and capabilities described in the Agreement.

Where the Verifying Party is a third party, the Agreement will automatically terminate when the Verifying Party takes ownership and control of the Domain Name and all associated End User Accounts (including Customer's Account). For clarity, this section does not affect any end user rights which the Verifying Party may grant under its (separate) Google Workspace agreement.

    7. 7.7?Services Limitations. Some Services, features and functionality, may not be available unless and until the Domain Name is verified.

Customer hereby acknowledges and accepts the following with respect to calls made to emergency services:

        1. (i) Description of Emergency Dialing Service. End Users of the two-way dialing features of Google Voice are capable of calling and receiving calls from emergency services free of charge. Emergency services vary depending on End User location. When an End User calls emergency services, GTSP will provide to emergency response operators the End User's phone number and address that Customer has provided to Google (see Section 8.8(d) (Customer Obligations) below). End Users may need to confirm their physical location and call-back number because the emergency operator may not have this information.

     4. (d) Customer Obligations. With respect to Section 8.8(b) (Two-way Dialing), Customer is responsible for the following: (i) ensuring that the address registered within Google Voice for each End User is the current physical address where the End User will use Google Voice (failure to provide current addresses may cause the wrong emergency response center to be contacted, and delay emergency response to End Users); (ii) informing End Users that their physical addresses will be shared with Telephony Providers; (iii) informing End Users that they may need to provide their physical location and call-back number to the PSAP, once connected; (iv) ensuring that End Users have access to an alternative means of calling emergency services; and (v) informing End Users of the limitations of the emergency dialing services (Customer may download and print a warning label to affix to all devices that may be used to access Google Voice at support.google.com/voice/go/emergency-services).

     6. (f) Disclaimer of Emergency Services Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither GTSP nor any of its Affiliates will have any liability under the Google Telephony Agreement (whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise) for damages of any type (including direct and indirect damages) arising under or in connection with the use or attempted use of Google Voice to access emergency services, including but not limited to any inability to access such services, any delays in emergency service response, the conduct of emergency services response centers or operators, or inaccuracy of information provided to emergency services by Telephony Providers or other third parties engaged by GTSP or its Affiliates to facilitate the provision of emergency services access.

  8. 8.9?Suspension.
