• Terms and Conditions
• User Agreement
• Acceptable Use Policy

These documents usually serve the same purpose but can be used in different contexts.

Terms of Use

These Services reflect the way Google’s business work s, the laws that apply to our company, and certain things we’ve always believed to be true.

• What you can expect from us, which describes how we provide and develop our services
• What we expect from you, which establishes certain rules for using our services
• Content in services, which describes the intellectual property rights to the content you find in our services — whether that content belongs to you, or others
• In case of problems or disagreements, which describes other legal rights you have, and what to expect in case someone violates these terms

Understanding these terms is important because, by using our services, you’re agreeing to these terms.

Besides these, we also publish a Privacy Policy. Although it’s not part of these rules we encourage you to read it to better understand how you can update, manage, export, and delete your information.
