What is the Bonterms Standard Agreement?

Google Cloud offers the Bonterms Standard End User Agreement, Bonterms Professional Services Agreement and the Bonterms Standard Reseller Agreement as a streamlined end-user contracting option in the Google Cloud Marketplace.

The Bonterms Standard Agreement was designed by a committee of 120 lawyers to offer a best-practice standard agreement that balances the interests of both Marketplace Partners and customers. This agreement is free to use and licensed under the open source document license CC BY ND.

Why use the Bonterms Standard Agreement?

Reviewing a custom legal agreement for an app takes time and legal resources – and for customers who are migrating to Cloud, this process must be repeated for each app they want to bring on their Cloud migration journey.

Customers benefit from the Bonterms Standard Agreement by having a baseline set of legal terms that they only need to review once but can use to purchase any participating apps. These customers can focus instead on the limited Attachments and Provider-Specific Terms that vary from app to app, reducing friction and accelerating the app review process.

By adopting the Bonterms Standard Agreement, Marketplace Partners can benefit from a balanced agreement representing industry best practices and make it easy and fast for customers to review and purchase their apps.
