Summary
Over the past few months, Proxistore has initiated several legal proceedings against Google Ireland but still fails to pay its bills. Update, March 31, 2026: " This case has always been about Proxistore failing to pay their invoices on time and they're pleased that the court has recognised this. Ever since, Proxistore has systematically paid their invoices from Google late or not at all. Despite the payment plan they granted to Proxistore (which was not respected), their late payment finally led to the temporary suspension of the 'Authorized Buyers' service on February 1, 2025. The Authorized Buyers service was restored after due payments were made, but Proxistore again did not pay their invoices, while continuing to make money from advertisers through their ads products.
