(collectively referred to herein as “Google”):
+
+Non-Commercial Use Only
+
+Picasa Software is made available to you for your non-commercial use only. This means that you may use it at work or at home, but you first need to obtain Google's permission if you want to sell the Picasa Software or any information, services, or software associated with or derived from the Picasa Software, or if you want to modify, copy (except as explicitly provided below), license, or create derivative works from the Picasa Software (collectively, “Commercial Use”).
+
+In the event that you would like to use the Picasa Software for Commercial Use, please contact us requesting permission for such Commercial Use (and detailing the specific type of Commercial Use requested) at http://www.google.com/picasasupport. You may not use the Picasa Software in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair Google’s services (e.g., you may not use the Picasa Software in an automated manner), nor may you use Picasa Software in any manner that could interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of Google's services.
+
+This Agreement allows you to install and use the Picasa Software on a single computer. You may make copies of the Picasa Software and distribute such copies to other persons employed by your employer’s organization, provided that each such recipient has had an opportunity to review and agrees to be bound by this Agreement prior to any use of the Picasa Software. If others employed by your employer’s organization do not have this opportunity to review and/or do not individually agree to be bound by this Agreement and you would still like to distribute copies to them, you may do so provided that you have the legal right to bind your employer’s organization and others within your employer’s organization to this Agreement. If you do not have this right and the recipients do not have an opportunity to review and/or do not agree to be bound by this Agreement, you may not distribute the Picasa Software to them. If you have any questions regarding the terms of distribution, please contact us at http://www.google.com/picasasupport.
+
+For each copy of the Picasa Software authorized under this license, you may make one backup copy, provided your backup copy is not installed or used concurrently on different computers. You must reproduce on any such copy all copyright notices and any other proprietary legends on the original copy of the Picasa Software. Google is not obligated to provide maintenance, support, or updates to you for the Picasa Software.
+

+
+Proper Use
+
+You agree that you will use the Picasa Software in compliance with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations, including any laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from your country of residence. You shall not agree to, and shall not authorize or encourage any third party to: (i) use the Picasa Software to upload, transmit or otherwise distribute any content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, abusive, fraudulent, obscene, contains viruses, or is otherwise objectionable; (ii) upload, transmit or otherwise distribute content that infringes upon another party's intellectual property rights or other proprietary, contractual or fiduciary rights or obligations; (iii) use the Picasa Software for any fraudulent or inappropriate purpose; or (iv) act in any way that violates this Agreement, as may be revised from time to time. Violation of any of the foregoing may result in immediate termination of this license, and may subject you to state, national and/or international penalties and other legal consequences.
+
+Automatic Updates
+
+The Picasa Software may communicate with Google's servers to check for available updates to the Picasa Software, such as bug fixes, patches, enhanced functions, missing plug-ins and new versions (collectively, "Updates"). During this process, the Picasa Software creates a randomly generated number for updating the software, which is not associated with any personally identifying information. The Picasa Software sends Google a request for the latest Picasa Software version information. If a newer version is available, the Picasa Software will give you the option of downloading it. The Picasa Software asks for permission before downloading an updated version. If you wish to disable the automated check for updates, please see the FAQ [http://picasa.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=11249] for details. By installing the Picasa Software and not disabling the automated check for Updates, you hereby agree to automatically request and receive Updates from Google's servers.
