Kathmandu, Feb. 28
Tele Digital Services Pvt. Ltd., a Google Workspace Authorised
Direct Reseller in Nepal, has issued an alert to organisations across the
country following increasing cases of account suspensions linked to unauthorised
Google Workspace subscriptions.
Businesses that have unknowingly purchased
subscriptions through vendors operating outside Google’s authorised reseller
framework are facing sudden service disruptions, restricted access to email and
shared drives, and serious operational interruptions. In some cases,
enforcement actions have occurred without prior internal awareness of
non-compliance, the company said in a statement.
The official listed price for Google Workspace in
Nepal is USD 7 per user per month. Subscriptions offered below USD 7 per user
per month should be treated as a ‘serious warning signal’. Such pricing may
indicate that the subscription is not sourced through Google’s approved
licensing and distribution structure.
“In several instances, education-specific plans have
been promoted to non-educational organisations at discounted rates. These
arrangements fall outside Google’s licensing policies and significantly
increase the risk of enforcement action,” read the statement.
According to it, many businesses did not knowingly
violate policy. However, the consequences are equally severe regardless of
intent. Violations of Google Cloud’s Terms of Service can result in account
suspension and potential data loss.
“The consequences are equally severe regardless of
intent. We strongly urge every organisation in Nepal to audit its Workspace
subscriptions immediately,” said Nikhhil Kheradi, Head of Business and
Marketing of the company.
Tele Digital has served more than 60 clients across several
sectors.
