Google Terms of Service
|
|
|
|
|
|
Welcome to Google!
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Your relationship with Google
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.1 Your use of Google’s products, software, services and web sites
|
|
|
(referred to collectively as the “Services” in this document and
|
|
|
excluding any services provided to you by Google under a separate
|
|
|
written agreement) is subject to the terms of a legal agreement
|
|
|
between you and Google. “Google” means Google Inc., whose principal
|
|
|
place of business is at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA
|
|
|
94043, United States. This document explains how the agreement is
|
|
|
made up, and sets out some of the terms of that agreement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing with Google, your agreement
|
|
|
with Google will always include, at a minimum, the terms and
|
|
|
conditions set out in this document. These are referred to below as
|
|
|
the “Universal Terms”.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.3 Your agreement with Google will also include the terms of any
|
|
|
Legal Notices applicable to the Services, in addition to the
|
|
|
Universal Terms. All of these are referred to below as the
|
|
|
“Additional Terms”. Where Additional Terms apply to a Service, these
|
|
|
will be accessible for you to read either within, or through your
|
|
|
use of, that Service.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.4 The Universal Terms, together with the Additional Terms, form a
|
|
|
legally binding agreement between you and Google in relation to your
|
|
|
use of the Services. It is important that you take the time to read
|
|
|
them carefully. Collectively, this legal agreement is referred to
|
|
|
below as the “Terms”.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.5 If there is any contradiction between what the Additional Terms
|
|
|
say and what the Universal Terms say, then the Additional Terms
|
|
|
shall take precedence in relation to that Service.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Accepting the Terms
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.1 In order to use the Services, you must first agree to the Terms.
|
|
|
You may not use the Services if you do not accept the Terms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.2 You can accept the Terms by:
|
|
|
|
|
|
(A) clicking to accept or agree to the Terms, where this option is
|
|
|
made available to you by Google in the user interface for any
|
|
|
Service; or
|
|
|
|
|
|
(B) by actually using the Services. In this case, you understand and
|
|
|
agree that Google will treat your use of the Services as acceptance
|
|
|
of the Terms from that point onwards.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.3 You may not use the Services and may not accept the Terms if (a)
|
|
|
you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Google, or
|
|
|
(b) you are a person barred from receiving the Services under the
|
|
|
laws of the United States or other countries including the country
|
|
|
in which you are resident or from which you use the Services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.4 Before you continue, you should print off or save a local copy
|
|
|
of the Universal Terms for your records.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Language of the Terms
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.1 Where Google has provided you with a translation of the English
|
|
|
language version of the Terms, then you agree that the translation
|
|
|
is provided for your convenience only and that the English language
|
|
|
versions of the Terms will govern your relationship with Google.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.2 If there is any contradiction between what the English language
|
|
|
version of the Terms says and what a translation says, then the
|
|
|
English language version shall take precedence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Provision of the Services by Google
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.1 Google has subsidiaries and affiliated legal entities around the
|
|
|
world (“Subsidiaries and Affiliates”). Sometimes, these companies
|
|
|
will be providing the Services to you on behalf of Google itself.
|
|
|
You acknowledge and agree that Subsidiaries and Affiliates will be
|
|
|
entitled to provide the Services to you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.2 Google is constantly innovating in order to provide the best
|
|
|
possible experience for its users. You acknowledge and agree that
|
|
|
the form and nature of the Services which Google provides may change
|
|
|
from time to time without prior notice to you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.3 As part of this continuing innovation, you acknowledge and agree
|
|
|
that Google may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the
|
|
|
Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users
|
|
|
generally at Google’s sole discretion, without prior notice to you.
|
|
|
You may stop using the Services at any time. You do not need to
|
|
|
specifically inform Google when you stop using the Services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.4 You acknowledge and agree that if Google disables access to your
|
|
|
account, you may be prevented from accessing the Services, your
|
|
|
account details or any files or other content which is contained in
|
|
|
your account.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.5 You acknowledge and agree that while Google may not currently
|
|
|
have set a fixed upper limit on the number of transmissions you may
|
|
|
send or receive through the Services or on the amount of storage
|
|
|
space used for the provision of any Service, such fixed upper limits
|
|
|
may be set by Google at any time, at Google’s discretion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Use of the Services by you
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.1 In order to access certain Services, you may be required to
|
|
|
provide information about yourself (such as identification or
|
|
|
contact details) as part of the registration process for the
|
|
|
Service, or as part of your continued use of the Services. You agree
|
|
|
that any registration information you give to Google will always be
|
|
|
accurate, correct and up to date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.2 You agree to use the Services only for purposes that are
|
|
|
permitted by (a) the Terms and (b) any applicable law, regulation or
|
|
|
generally accepted practices or guidelines in the relevant
|
|
|
jurisdictions (including any laws regarding the export of data or
|
|
|
software to and from the United States or other relevant countries).
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.3 You agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the
|
|
|
Services by any means other than through the interface that is
|
|
|
provided by Google, unless you have been specifically allowed to do
|
|
|
so in a separate agreement with Google. You specifically agree not
|
|
|
to access (or attempt to access) any of the Services through any
|
|
|
automated means (including use of scripts or web crawlers) and shall
|
|
|
ensure that you comply with the instructions set out in any
|
|
|
robots.txt file present on the Services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.4 You agree that you will not engage in any activity that
|
|
|
interferes with or disrupts the Services (or the servers and
|
|
|
networks which are connected to the Services).
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.5 Unless you have been specifically permitted to do so in a
|
|
|
separate agreement with Google, you agree that you will not
|
|
|
reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade or resell the Services for
|
|
|
any purpose.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.6 You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Google
|
|
|
has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any breach
|
|
|
of your obligations under the Terms and for the consequences
|
|
|
(including any loss or damage which Google may suffer) of any such
|
|
|
breach.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Your passwords and account security
|
|
|
|
|
|
6.1 You agree and understand that you are responsible for
|
|
|
maintaining the confidentiality of passwords associated with any
|
|
|
account you use to access the Services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6.2 Accordingly, you agree that you will be solely responsible to
|
|
|
Google for all activities that occur under your account.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6.3 If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or
|
|
|
of your account, you agree to notify Google immediately at
|
|
|

|
5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Privacy and your personal information
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.1 For information about Google’s data protection practices, please
|
|
|
read Google’s privacy policy at
|
|
|
[18]http://www.google.com/privacy.html. This policy explains how
|
|
|
Google treats your personal information, and protects your privacy,
|
|
|
when you use the Services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.2 You agree to the use of your data in accordance with Google’s
|
|
|
privacy policies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Content in the Services
|
|
|
|
|
|
8.1 You understand that all information (such as data files, written
|
|
|
text, computer software, music, audio files or other sounds,
|
|
|
photographs, videos or other images) which you may have access to as
|
|
|
part of, or through your use of, the Services are the sole
|
|
|
responsibility of the person from which such content originated. All
|
|
|
such information is referred to below as the “Content”.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8.2 You should be aware that Content presented to you as part of the
|
|
|
Services, including but not limited to advertisements in the
|
|
|
Services and sponsored Content within the Services may be protected
|
|
|
by intellectual property rights which are owned by the sponsors or
|
|
|
advertisers who provide that Content to Google (or by other persons
|
|
|
or companies on their behalf). You may not modify, rent, lease,
|
|
|
loan, sell, distribute or create derivative works based on this
|
|
|
Content (either in whole or in part) unless you have been
|
|
|
specifically told that you may do so by Google or by the owners of
|
|
|
that Content, in a separate agreement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8.3 Google reserves the right (but shall have no obligation) to
|
|
|
pre-screen, review, flag, filter, modify, refuse or remove any or
|
|
|
all Content from any Service. For some of the Services, Google may
|
|
|
provide tools to filter out explicit sexual content. These tools
|
|
|
include the SafeSearch preference settings (see
|
|
|
[19]http://www.google.com/help/customize.html#safe). In addition,
|
|
|
there are commercially available services and software to limit
|
|
|
access to material that you may find objectionable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8.4 You understand that by using the Services you may be exposed to
|
|
|
Content that you may find offensive, indecent or objectionable and
|
|
|
that, in this respect, you use the Services at your own risk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8.5 You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Google
|
|
|
has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any Content
|
|
|
that you create, transmit or display while using the Services and
|
|
|
for the consequences of your actions (including any loss or damage
|
|
|
which Google may suffer) by doing so.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Proprietary rights
|
|
|
|
|
|
9.1 You acknowledge and agree that Google (or Google’s licensors)
|
|
|
own all legal right, title and interest in and to the Services,
|
|
|
including any intellectual property rights which subsist in the
|
|
|
Services (whether those rights happen to be registered or not, and
|
|
|
wherever in the world those rights may exist). You further
|
|
|
acknowledge that the Services may contain information which is
|
|
|
designated confidential by Google and that you shall not disclose
|
|
|
such information without Google’s prior written consent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9.2 Unless you have agreed otherwise in writing with Google, nothing
|
|
|
in the Terms gives you a right to use any of Google’s trade names,
|
|
|
trade marks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other
|
|
|
distinctive brand features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9.3 If you have been given an explicit right to use any of these
|
|
|
brand features in a separate written agreement with Google, then you
|
|
|
agree that your use of such features shall be in compliance with
|
|
|
that agreement, any applicable provisions of the Terms, and Google's
|
|
|
brand feature use guidelines as updated from time to time. These
|
|
|
guidelines can be viewed online at
|
|
|
[20]http://www.google.com/permissions/guidelines.html (or such other
|
|
|
URL as Google may provide for this purpose from time to time).
|
|
|
|
|
|
9.4 Other than the limited license set forth in Section 11, Google
|
|
|
acknowledges and agrees that it obtains no right, title or interest
|
|
|
from you (or your licensors) under these Terms in or to any Content
|
|
|
that you submit, post, transmit or display on, or through, the
|
|
|
Services, including any intellectual property rights which subsist
|
|
|
in that Content (whether those rights happen to be registered or
|
|
|
not, and wherever in the world those rights may exist). Unless you
|
|
|
have agreed otherwise in writing with Google, you agree that you are
|
|
|
responsible for protecting and enforcing those rights and that
|
|
|
Google has no obligation to do so on your behalf.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9.5 You agree that you shall not remove, obscure, or alter any
|
|
|
proprietary rights notices (including copyright and trade mark
|
|
|
notices) which may be affixed to or contained within the Services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9.6 Unless you have been expressly authorized to do so in writing by
|
|
|
Google, you agree that in using the Services, you will not use any
|
|
|
trade mark, service mark, trade name, logo of any company or
|
|
|
organization in a way that is likely or intended to cause confusion
|
|
|
about the owner or authorized user of such marks, names or logos.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. License from Google
|
|
|
|
|
|
10.1 Google gives you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free,
|
|
|
non-assignable and non-exclusive license to use the software
|
|
|
provided to you by Google as part of the Services as provided to you
|
|
|
by Google (referred to as the “Software” below). This license is for
|
|
|
the sole purpose of enabling you to use and enjoy the benefit of the
|
|
|
Services as provided by Google, in the manner permitted by the
|
|
|
Terms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10.2 You may not (and you may not permit anyone else to) copy,
|
|
|
modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, decompile or
|
|
|
otherwise attempt to extract the source code of the Software or any
|
|
|
part thereof, unless this is expressly permitted or required by law,
|
|
|
or unless you have been specifically told that you may do so by
|
|
|
Google, in writing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10.3 Unless Google has given you specific written permission to do
|
|
|
so, you may not assign (or grant a sub-license of) your rights to
|
|
|
use the Software, grant a security interest in or over your rights
|
|
|
to use the Software, or otherwise transfer any part of your rights
|
|
|
to use the Software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. Content license from you
|
|
|
|
|
|
11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in
|
|
|
Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the
|
|
|
Services. By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give
|
|
|
Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and
|
|
|
non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate,
|
|
|
publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any
|
|
|
Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the
|
|
|
Services. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to
|
|
|
display, distribute and promote the Services and may be revoked for
|
|
|
certain Services as defined in the Additional Terms of those
|
|
|
Services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11.2 You agree that this license includes a right for Google to make
|
|
|
such Content available to other companies, organizations or
|
|
|
individuals with whom Google has relationships for the provision of
|
|
|
syndicated services, and to use such Content in connection with the
|
|
|
provision of those services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11.3 You understand that Google, in performing the required
|
|
|
technical steps to provide the Services to our users, may (a)
|
|
|
transmit or distribute your Content over various public networks and
|
|
|
in various media; and (b) make such changes to your Content as are
|
|
|
necessary to conform and adapt that Content to the technical
|
|
|
requirements of connecting networks, devices, services or media. You
|
|
|
agree that this license shall permit Google to take these actions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11.4 You confirm and warrant to Google that you have all the rights,
|
|
|
power and authority necessary to grant the above license.
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. Software updates
|
|
|
|
|
|
12.1 The Software which you use may automatically download and
|
|
|
install updates from time to time from Google. These updates are
|
|
|
designed to improve, enhance and further develop the Services and
|
|
|
may take the form of bug fixes, enhanced functions, new software
|
|
|
modules and completely new versions. You agree to receive such
|
|
|
updates (and permit Google to deliver these to you) as part of your
|
|
|
use of the Services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. Ending your relationship with Google
|
|
|
|
|
|
13.1 The Terms will continue to apply until terminated by either you
|
|
|
or Google as set out below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13.2 If you want to terminate your legal agreement with Google, you
|
|
|
may do so by (a) notifying Google at any time and (b) closing your
|
|
|
accounts for all of the Services which you use, where Google has
|
|
|
made this option available to you. Your notice should be sent, in
|
|
|
writing, to Google’s address which is set out at the beginning of
|
|
|
these Terms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13.3 Google may at any time, terminate its legal agreement with you
|
|
|
if:
|
|
|
|
|
|
(A) you have breached any provision of the Terms (or have acted in
|
|
|
manner which clearly shows that you do not intend to, or are unable
|
|
|
to comply with the provisions of the Terms); or
|
|
|
|
|
|
(B) Google is required to do so by law (for example, where the
|
|
|
provision of the Services to you is, or becomes, unlawful); or
|
|
|
|
|
|
(C) the partner with whom Google offered the Services to you has
|
|
|
terminated its relationship with Google or ceased to offer the
|
|
|
Services to you; or
|
|
|
|
|
|
(D) Google is transitioning to no longer providing the Services to
|
|
|
users in the country in which you are resident or from which you use
|
|
|
the service; or
|
|
|
|
|
|
(E) the provision of the Services to you by Google is, in Google’s
|
|
|
opinion, no longer commercially viable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13.4 Nothing in this Section shall affect Google’s rights regarding
|
|
|
provision of Services under Section 4 of the Terms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13.5 When these Terms come to an end, all of the legal rights,
|
|
|
obligations and liabilities that you and Google have benefited from,
|
|
|
been subject to (or which have accrued over time whilst the Terms
|
|
|
have been in force) or which are expressed to continue indefinitely,
|
|
|
shall be unaffected by this cessation, and the provisions of
|
|
|
paragraph 20.7 shall continue to apply to such rights, obligations
|
|
|
and liabilities indefinitely.
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. EXCLUSION OF WARRANTIES
|
|
|
|
|
|
14.1 NOTHING IN THESE TERMS, INCLUDING SECTIONS 14 AND 15, SHALL
|
|
|
EXCLUDE OR LIMIT GOOGLE’S WARRANTY OR LIABILITY FOR LOSSES WHICH MAY
|
|
|
NOT BE LAWFULLY EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. SOME
|
|
|
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR
|
|
|
CONDITIONS OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR LOSS OR
|
|
|
DAMAGE CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF CONTRACT OR BREACH OF IMPLIED
|
|
|
TERMS, OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, ONLY THE
|
|
|
LIMITATIONS WHICH ARE LAWFUL IN YOUR JURISDICTION WILL APPLY TO YOU
|
|
|
AND OUR LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY
|
|
|
LAW.
|
|
|
|
|
|
14.2 YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE
|
|
|
SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND THAT THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS
|
|
|
IS" AND “AS AVAILABLE.”
|
|
|
|
|
|
14.3 IN PARTICULAR, GOOGLE, ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, AND ITS
|
|
|
LICENSORS DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT TO YOU THAT:
|
|
|
|
|
|
(A) YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS,
|
|
|
|
|
|
(B) YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE
|
|
|
OR FREE FROM ERROR,
|
|
|
|
|
|
(C) ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED BY YOU AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE
|
|
|
SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, AND
|
|
|
|
|
|
(D) THAT DEFECTS IN THE OPERATION OR FUNCTIONALITY OF ANY SOFTWARE
|
|
|
PROVIDED TO YOU AS PART OF THE SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED.
|
|
|
|
|
|
14.4 ANY MATERIAL DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE
|
|
|
OF THE SERVICES IS DONE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK AND THAT YOU
|
|
|
WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR
|
|
|
OTHER DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OF ANY
|
|
|
SUCH MATERIAL.
|
|
|
|

19. Changes to the Terms
|
|
|
|
|
|
19.1 Google may make changes to the Universal Terms or Additional
|
|
|
Terms from time to time. When these changes are made, Google will
|
|
|
make a new copy of the Universal Terms available at
|
|
|
[23]http://www.google.com/accounts/TOS?hl=en and any new Additional
|
|
|
Terms will be made available to you from within, or through, the
|
|
|
affected Services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
19.2 You understand and agree that if you use the Services after the
|

|
Terms or Additional Terms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
20. General legal terms
|
|
|
|
|
|
20.1 Sometimes when you use the Services, you may (as a result of,
|
|
|
or through your use of the Services) use a service or download a
|
|
|
piece of software, or purchase goods, which are provided by another
|
|
|
person or company. Your use of these other services, software or
|
|
|
goods may be subject to separate terms between you and the company
|
|
|
or person concerned. If so, the Terms do not affect your legal
|
|
|
relationship with these other companies or individuals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
20.2 The Terms constitute the whole legal agreement between you and
|
|
|
Google and govern your use of the Services (but excluding any
|
|
|
services which Google may provide to you under a separate written
|
|
|
agreement), and completely replace any prior agreements between you
|
|
|
and Google in relation to the Services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
20.3 You agree that Google may provide you with notices, including
|
|
|
those regarding changes to the Terms, by email, regular mail, or
|
|
|
postings on the Services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
20.4 You agree that if Google does not exercise or enforce any legal
|
|
|
right or remedy which is contained in the Terms (or which Google has
|
|
|
the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to
|
|
|
be a formal waiver of Google’s rights and that those rights or
|
|
|
remedies will still be available to Google.
|
|
|
|
|
|
20.5 If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this
|
|
|
matter, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then
|
|
|
that provision will be removed from the Terms without affecting the
|
|
|
rest of the Terms. The remaining provisions of the Terms will
|
|
|
continue to be valid and enforceable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
20.6 You acknowledge and agree that each member of the group of
|
|
|
companies of which Google is the parent shall be third party
|
|
|
beneficiaries to the Terms and that such other companies shall be
|
|
|
entitled to directly enforce, and rely upon, any provision of the
|
|
|
Terms which confers a benefit on (or rights in favor of) them. Other
|
|
|
than this, no other person or company shall be third party
|
|
|
beneficiaries to the Terms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
20.7 The Terms, and your relationship with Google under the Terms,
|
|
|
shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without
|
|
|
regard to its conflict of laws provisions. You and Google agree to
|
|
|
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within
|
|
|
the county of Santa Clara, California to resolve any legal matter
|
|
|
arising from the Terms. Notwithstanding this, you agree that Google
|
|
|
shall still be allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an
|
|
|
equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
