Thank you for using the Google Web APIs (TM) service! By using this
|
|
service ("Google Web APIs") you agree to be bound by the following
|
|
terms and conditions (the "Terms and Conditions").
|
|
|
|
PERSONAL AND LEGITIMATE USES ONLY
|
|
|
|
The Google Web APIs service is made available to you for your
|
|
personal, non-commercial use only (at home or at work). You may only
|
|
create a single account and must provide accurate identification,
|
|
contact, and other information required as part of the registration
|
|
process. You may not create any script or other automated tool that
|
|
attempts to create multiple Google Web APIs accounts. And you may not
|
|
use the search results provided by the Google Web APIs service with an
|
|
existing product or service that competes with products or services
|
|
offered by Google.
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in doing anything different than the foregoing,
|
|
you must first obtain Google's written consent. If you fail to do so,
|
|
Google reserves the right to take legal action against you.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, you may not use Google Web APIs in any manner that either
|
|
directly or indirectly violates any laws or proprietary rights. This
|
|
includes laws and proprietary rights in the United States as well as
|
|
in other countries.
|
|
|
|
If you have questions on your contemplated use or if you have comments
|
|
on Google Web APIs or ideas on how to improve it, please email
|
|
api-support@google.com. Please note that by doing so, you also grant
|
|
Google permission to use and incorporate your ideas or comments into
|
|
Google Web APIs without further compensation.
|
|
|
|
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
|
|
|
|
You agree not to remove, obscure, or alter Google's copyright notice,
|
|
trademarks, or other proprietary rights notices affixed to or
|
|
contained within Google Web APIs. You also acknowledge that Google
|
|
owns all right, title and interest in and to Google Web APIs,
|
|
including without limitation all intellectual property rights (the
|
|
"Google Rights"). The Google Rights include rights to the following:
|
|
(1) the APIs developed and provided by Google, (2) all software
|
|
associated with the Google Web APIs server, and (3) the search results
|
|
and spell checking you obtain when you use Google Web APIs. The Google
|
|
Rights do not include the following: (1) third party components used
|
|
as part of Google Web APIs; or (2) software developed by you in
|
|
conjunction with using Google Web APIs.
|
|
|
|
PUBLICITY
|
|
|
|
So long as you comply with your obligations under this Agreement, you
|
|
may indicate that a product or service that you created either used or
|
|
is based on Google Web APIs provided that those products or services
|
|
do not in Google's reasonable opinion (1) tarnish, infringe, or dilute
|
|
Google's trademarks, (2) violate any applicable law, and (3) infringe
|
|
any third party rights. If you wish to use the GOOGLE trademark and/or
|
|
logo in any other manner, you must first obtain Google's written
|
|
consent.
|
|
|
|
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
|
|
|
|
The Google Web APIs service is presently in Beta form and has not been
|
|
fully tested or debugged. Accordingly, Google disclaims any
|
|
responsibility for any harm resulting from your use of Google Web APIs.
|
|
|
|
The Google Web APIs service is provided "as is," with no warranties
|
|
whatsoever. Google expressly disclaims to the fullest extent permitted
|
|
by law all express, implied, and statutory warranties, including,
|
|
without limitation, the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a
|
|
particular purpose, and non-infringement of proprietary rights. Google
|
|
disclaims any warranties regarding the security, reliability,
|
|
timeliness, availability, and performance of Google Web APIs.
|
|
|
|
You understand and agree that you use Google Web APIs at your own
|
|
discretion and risk and that you will be solely responsible for any
|
|
damages to your computer system or loss of data that results from the
|
|
download or use of Google Web APIs.
|
|
|
|
Some states or other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of
|
|
implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you. You
|
|
may also have other rights that vary from state to state and
|
|
jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
|
|
|
|
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
|
|
|
|
The Google Web APIs service is being provided free of charge.
|
|
Accordingly, you agree that Google shall have no liability arising
|
|
from or based on your use of Google Web APIs.
|
|
|
|
Under no circumstances shall Google be liable to any user on account
|
|
of that user's use or misuse of Google Web APIs. Such limitation of
|
|
liability shall apply to prevent recovery of direct, indirect,
|
|
incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, and punitive damages
|
|
whether such claim is based on warranty, contract, tort (including
|
|
negligence), or otherwise, even if Google has been advised of the
|
|
possibility of such damages). Such limitation of liability shall apply
|
|
whether the damages arise from use or misuse of and reliance on the
|
|
Google Web APIs, from inability to use Google Web APIs, or from the
|
|
interruption, suspension, or termination of Google Web APIs (including
|
|
such damages incurred by third parties). Such limitation shall apply
|
|
notwithstanding a failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy
|
|
and to the fullest extent permitted by law.
|
|
|
|
Some states or other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or
|
|
limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so
|
|
the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.
|
|
|
|
INDEMNIFICATION
|
|
|
|
You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold Google, and its
|
|
officers, directors, agents, licensors and licensees (collectively,
|
|
the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against any and all
|
|
liability and costs incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection
|
|
with any claim arising out of your use of Google Web APIs, including,
|
|
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees. You shall cooperate as
|
|
fully as reasonably required in the defense of any claim. Google
|
|
reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive
|
|
defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you.
|
|
|
|
GOOGLE'S SEARCH SERVICE
|
|
|
|
The Google Web APIs service is designed to be used in conjunction with
|
|
Google's search services. Accordingly, your use of Google Web APIs is
|
|
also defined by Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In the
|
|
event of a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and Google's
|
|
Terms of Service, these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.
|
|
|
|
TERM AND TERMINATION
|
|
|
|
If you wish to terminate this Agreement, you may simply cease using
|
|
the Google Web APIs service. In such a case, you must delete any
|
|
search result information that you may have obtained from the Google
|
|
Web APIs service. Google may terminate this Agreement (and your
|
|
account) at any time, with or without cause.
|
|
|
|
