3 Google Chrome Terms of Service
5 These Terms of Service apply to the executable code version of Google
6 Chrome. Source code for Google Chrome is available free of charge under
7 open source software license agreements at
8 http://code.google.com/chromium/terms.html.
10 1. Your relationship with Google
12 1.1 Your use of Google’s products, software, services and web sites
13 (referred to collectively as the “Services” in this document and
14 excluding any services provided to you by Google under a separate
15 written agreement) is subject to the terms of a legal agreement between
16 you and Google. “Google” means Google Inc., whose principal place of
17 business is at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043,
18 United States. This document explains how the agreement is made up, and
19 sets out some of the terms of that agreement.
21 1.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing with Google, your agreement with
22 Google will always include, at a minimum, the terms and conditions set
23 out in this document. These are referred to below as the “Universal
24 Terms”. Open source software licenses for Google Chrome source code
25 constitute separate written agreements. To the limited extent that the
26 open source software licenses expressly supersede these Universal
27 Terms, the open source licenses govern your agreement with Google for
28 the use of Google Chrome or specific included components of Google
31 1.3 Your agreement with Google will also include the terms set forth
32 below in the Google Chrome Additional Terms of Service and terms of any
33 Legal Notices applicable to the Services, in addition to the Universal
34 Terms. All of these are referred to below as the “Additional Terms”.
35 Where Additional Terms apply to a Service, these will be accessible for
36 you to read either within, or through your use of, that Service.
38 1.4 The Universal Terms, together with the Additional Terms, form a
39 legally binding agreement between you and Google in relation to your
40 use of the Services. It is important that you take the time to read
41 them carefully. Collectively, this legal agreement is referred to below
44 1.5 If there is any contradiction between what the Additional Terms say
45 and what the Universal Terms say, then the Additional Terms shall take
46 precedence in relation to that Service.
48 2. Accepting the Terms
50 2.1 In order to use the Services, you must first agree to the Terms.
51 You may not use the Services if you do not accept the Terms.
53 2.2 You can accept the Terms by:
55 (A) clicking to accept or agree to the Terms, where this option is made
56 available to you by Google in the user interface for any Service; or
58 (B) by actually using the Services. In this case, you understand and
59 agree that Google will treat your use of the Services as acceptance of
60 the Terms from that point onwards.
62 3. Language of the Terms
64 3.1 Where Google has provided you with a translation of the English
65 language version of the Terms, then you agree that the translation is
66 provided for your convenience only and that the English language
67 versions of the Terms will govern your relationship with Google.
69 3.2 If there is any contradiction between what the English language
70 version of the Terms says and what a translation says, then the English
71 language version shall take precedence.
73 4. Provision of the Services by Google
75 4.1 Google has subsidiaries and affiliated legal entities around the
76 world (“Subsidiaries and Affiliates”). Sometimes, these companies will
77 be providing the Services to you on behalf of Google itself. You
78 acknowledge and agree that Subsidiaries and Affiliates will be entitled
79 to provide the Services to you.
81 4.2 Google is constantly innovating in order to provide the best
82 possible experience for its users. You acknowledge and agree that the
83 form and nature of the Services which Google provides may change from
84 time to time without prior notice to you.
86 4.3 As part of this continuing innovation, you acknowledge and agree
87 that Google may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the
88 Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users
89 generally at Google’s sole discretion, without prior notice to you. You
90 may stop using the Services at any time. You do not need to
91 specifically inform Google when you stop using the Services.
93 4.4 You acknowledge and agree that if Google disables access to your
94 account, you may be prevented from accessing the Services, your account
95 details or any files or other content which is contained in your
98 5. Use of the Services by you
100 5.1 You agree to use the Services only for purposes that are permitted
101 by (a) the Terms and (b) any applicable law, regulation or generally
102 accepted practices or guidelines in the relevant jurisdictions
103 (including any laws regarding the export of data or software to and
104 from the United States or other relevant countries).
106 5.2 You agree that you will not engage in any activity that interferes
107 with or disrupts the Services (or the servers and networks which are
108 connected to the Services).
110 5.3 Unless you have been specifically permitted to do so in a separate
111 agreement with Google, you agree that you will not reproduce,
112 duplicate, copy, sell, trade or resell the Services for any purpose.
114 5.4 You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Google has
115 no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any breach of your
116 obligations under the Terms and for the consequences (including any
117 loss or damage which Google may suffer) of any such breach.
119 6. Privacy and your personal information
121 6.1 For information about Google’s data protection practices, please
122 read Google’s privacy policy at http://www.google.com/privacy.html and
123 at http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/privacy.html. This policy
124 explains how Google treats your personal information, and protects your
125 privacy, when you use the Services.
127 6.2 You agree to the use of your data in accordance with Google’s
130 7. Content in the Services
132 7.1 You understand that all information (such as data files, written
133 text, computer software, music, audio files or other sounds,
134 photographs, videos or other images) which you may have access to as
135 part of, or through your use of, the Services are the sole
136 responsibility of the person from which such content originated. All
137 such information is referred to below as the “Content.”
139 7.2 You should be aware that Content presented to you as part of the
140 Services, including but not limited to advertisements in the Services
141 and sponsored Content within the Services may be protected by
142 intellectual property rights which are owned by the sponsors or
143 advertisers who provide that Content to Google (or by other persons or
144 companies on their behalf). You may not modify, rent, lease, loan,
145 sell, distribute or create derivative works based on this Content
146 (either in whole or in part) unless you have been specifically told
147 that you may do so by Google or by the owners of that Content, in a
150 7.3 Google reserves the right (but shall have no obligation) to
151 pre-screen, review, flag, filter, modify, refuse or remove any or all
152 Content from any Service. For some of the Services, Google may provide
153 tools to filter out explicit sexual content. These tools include the
154 SafeSearch preference settings (see
155 http://www.google.com/help/customize.html#safe). In addition, there are
156 commercially available services and software to limit access to
157 material that you may find objectionable.
159 7.4 You understand that by using the Services you may be exposed to
160 Content that you may find offensive, indecent or objectionable and
161 that, in this respect, you use the Services at your own risk.
163 7.5 You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Google has
164 no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any Content that
165 you create, transmit or display while using the Services and for the
166 consequences of your actions (including any loss or damage which Google
167 may suffer) by doing so.
169 8. Proprietary rights
171 8.1 You acknowledge and agree that Google (or Google’s licensors) own
172 all legal right, title and interest in and to the Services, including
173 any intellectual property rights which subsist in the Services (whether
174 those rights happen to be registered or not, and wherever in the world
175 those rights may exist).
177 8.2 Unless you have agreed otherwise in writing with Google, nothing in
178 the Terms gives you a right to use any of Google’s trade names, trade
179 marks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand
182 8.3 If you have been given an explicit right to use any of these brand
183 features in a separate written agreement with Google, then you agree
184 that your use of such features shall be in compliance with that
185 agreement, any applicable provisions of the Terms, and Google's brand
186 feature use guidelines as updated from time to time. These guidelines
187 can be viewed online at
188 http://www.google.com/permissions/guidelines.html (or such other URL as
189 Google may provide for this purpose from time to time).
191 8.4 Google acknowledges and agrees that it obtains no right, title or
192 interest from you (or your licensors) under these Terms in or to any
193 Content that you submit, post, transmit or display on, or through, the
194 Services, including any intellectual property rights which subsist in
195 that Content (whether those rights happen to be registered or not, and
196 wherever in the world those rights may exist). Unless you have agreed
197 otherwise in writing with Google, you agree that you are responsible
198 for protecting and enforcing those rights and that Google has no
199 obligation to do so on your behalf.

202 proprietary rights notices (including copyright and trade mark notices)
203 which may be affixed to or contained within the Services.
205 8.6 Unless you have been expressly authorized to do so in writing by
206 Google, you agree that in using the Services, you will not use any
207 trade mark, service mark, trade name, logo of any company or
208 organization in a way that is likely or intended to cause confusion
209 about the owner or authorized user of such marks, names or logos.
211 9. License from Google
213 9.1 Google gives you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free,
214 non-assignable and non-exclusive license to use the software provided
215 to you by Google as part of the Services as provided to you by Google

224 required by law, or unless you have been specifically told that you may
225 do so by Google, in writing.

242 improve, enhance and further develop the Services and may take the form
243 of bug fixes, enhanced functions, new software modules and completely
244 new versions. You agree to receive such updates (and permit Google to
245 deliver these to you) as part of your use of the Services.
247 12. Ending your relationship with Google
249 12.1 The Terms will continue to apply until terminated by either you or
250 Google as set out below.
252 12.2 Google may at any time, terminate its legal agreement with you if:
254 (A) you have breached any provision of the Terms (or have acted in
255 manner which clearly shows that you do not intend to, or are unable to
256 comply with the provisions of the Terms); or
258 (B) Google is required to do so by law (for example, where the
259 provision of the Services to you is, or becomes, unlawful); or

272 12.3 Nothing in this Section shall affect Google’s rights regarding
273 provision of Services under Section 4 of the Terms.
275 12.4 When these Terms come to an end, all of the legal rights,
276 obligations and liabilities that you and Google have benefited from,

278 been in force) or which are expressed to continue indefinitely, shall
279 be unaffected by this cessation, and the provisions of paragraph 19.7
280 shall continue to apply to such rights, obligations and liabilities
283 13. EXCLUSION OF WARRANTIES
285 13.1 NOTHING IN THESE TERMS, INCLUDING SECTIONS 13 AND 14, SHALL

414 18.1 Google may make changes to the Universal Terms or Additional Terms
415 from time to time. When these changes are made, Google will make a new

423 Google will treat your use as acceptance of the updated Universal Terms
426 19. General legal terms
428 19.1 Sometimes when you use the Services, you may (as a result of, or
429 in connection with your use of the Services) use a service or download
430 a piece of software, or purchase goods, which are provided by another
431 person or company. Your use of these other services, software or goods
432 may be subject to separate terms between you and the company or person
433 concerned. If so, the Terms do not affect your legal relationship with
434 these other companies or individuals.
436 19.2 The Terms constitute the whole legal agreement between you and
437 Google and govern your use of the Services (but excluding any services
438 which Google may provide to you under a separate written agreement),
439 and completely replace any prior agreements between you and Google in
440 relation to the Services.
442 19.3 You agree that Google may provide you with notices, including
443 those regarding changes to the Terms, by email, regular mail, or
444 postings on the Services.
446 19.4 You agree that if Google does not exercise or enforce any legal
447 right or remedy which is contained in the Terms (or which Google has
448 the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be
449 a formal waiver of Google’s rights and that those rights or remedies
450 will still be available to Google.
452 19.5 If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this
453 matter, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that
454 provision will be removed from the Terms without affecting the rest of
455 the Terms. The remaining provisions of the Terms will continue to be
456 valid and enforceable.
458 19.6 You acknowledge and agree that each member of the group of
459 companies of which Google is the parent shall be third party
460 beneficiaries to the Terms and that such other companies shall be
461 entitled to directly enforce, and rely upon, any provision of the Terms
462 which confers a benefit on (or rights in favor of) them. Other than
463 this, no other person or company shall be third party beneficiaries to
466 19.7 The Terms, and your relationship with Google under the Terms,
467 shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard
468 to its conflict of laws provisions. You and Google agree to submit to
469 the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of
470 Santa Clara, California to resolve any legal matter arising from the
471 Terms. Notwithstanding this, you agree that Google shall still be
472 allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of
473 urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
475 20. Additional Terms for Extensions for Google Chrome
477 20.1 These terms in this section apply if you install extensions on
478 your copy of Google Chrome. Extensions are small software programs,
479 developed by Google or third parties, that can modify and enhance the
480 functionality of Google Chrome. Extensions may have greater privileges
481 to access your browser or your computer than regular webpages,
482 including the ability to read and modify your private data.
484 20.2 From time to time, Google Chrome may check with remote servers
485 (hosted by Google or by third parties) for available updates to
486 extensions, including but not limited to bug fixes or enhanced
487 functionality. You agree that such updates will be automatically
488 requested, downloaded, and installed without further notice to you.
490 20.3 From time to time, Google may discover an extension that violates
491 Google developer terms or other legal agreements, laws, regulations or
492 policies. Google Chrome will periodically download a list of such
493 extensions from Google’s servers. You agree that Google may remotely
494 disable or remove any such extension from user systems in its sole
497 21. Additional Terms for Enterprise Use
499 21.1 If you are a business entity, then the individual accepting on
500 behalf of the entity (for the avoidance of doubt, for business
501 entities, in these Terms, "you" means the entity) represents and
502 warrants that he or she has the authority to act on your behalf, that
503 you represent that you are duly authorized to do business in the
504 country or countries where you operate, and that your employees,
505 officers, representatives, and other agents accessing the Service are
506 duly authorized to access Google Chrome and to legally bind you to
509 21.2 Subject to the Terms, and in addition to the license grant in
510 Section 9, Google grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license
511 to reproduce, distribute, install, and use Google Chrome solely on
512 machines intended for use by your employees, officers, representatives,
513 and agents in connection with your business entity, and provided that
514 their use of Google Chrome will be subject to the Terms.
