|
By downloading, installing, or using the Google Earth software,
|
|
accessing or using the Google Maps service (together, the "Products" or
|
|
"Services"), or accessing or using any of the content available within
|
|
the Products, you agree to be bound by the following: (1) the [1]Google
|
|
Terms of Service (the "Universal Terms"); (2) the terms found on our
|
|
[2]Legal Notices page (the "Legal Notices"); and (3) the additional
|
|
terms and conditions set forth below (the "Additional Terms"). Before
|
|
you continue, you should read each of these three documents, as
|
|
together they form a binding agreement between you and Google regarding
|
|
your use of the Products. Collectively, the Universal Terms, the Legal
|
|
Notices, and the Additional Terms are referred to as the "Terms".
|
|
As a condition of downloading, accessing, or using the Products, you
|
|
also agree to the terms of the [3]Google Privacy Policy.
|
|

|
|
non-transferable license to access the Google Maps service, to download

|
|

|
|
agree to the following:
|
|
(a) Map data, traffic, directions, and related Content are provided for

|
|
exercise judgment in your use of this Content.
|
|
(b) By using the Products, you do not receive any, and Google and/or

|
|
manner not permitted under the Terms, unless you have been specifically
|
|
permitted to do so by Google or by the owner of that Content, in a
|
|
separate agreement.

|
|
liable for any unauthorized copying or disclosure of this Content. Your

|
|
Department of Commerce, and trade and economic sanctions maintained by
