15 <h2>Chrome OS Terms</h2> | |
16 <p>BY USING THIS DEVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE FOLLOWING TERMS. IF YOU D
O NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, RETURN THE DEVICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS RETURN POLI
CY.</p> | |
17 <p>The Chrome OS device provided to you includes Chrome OS software, such as the
operating system executable code, embedded software, firmware, fonts, and other
data, including any updates (referred to collectively as the “Software”). These
Terms apply to the Software and your use of the Software with your Chrome OS de
vice. Source code for Chrome OS is available free of charge under open source so
ftware license agreements at www.chromium.org.</p> | |
18 <p><strong>1. Your relationship with Google</strong></p> | |
19 <p>1.1 Your use of the Software and your use of the Software with Google’s produ
cts, 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 i
s at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. This doc
ument explains how the agreement is made up, and sets out some of the terms of t
hat agreement.</p> | |
20 <p>1.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing with Google, your agreement with Googl
e will always include, at a minimum, the terms and conditions set out in this do
cument. These are referred to below as the “Universal Terms”. Open source softwa
re licenses for Chrome OS source code constitute separate written agreements. To
the limited extent that the open source software licenses expressly supersede t
hese Universal Terms, the open source licenses govern your agreement with Google
for the use of Chrome OS or specific included components of Chrome OS.</p> | |
21 <p>1.3 Your agreement with Google will also include the terms set forth below in
the Chrome OS Additional Terms and terms of any Legal Notices applicable to the
Services, in addition to the Universal Terms. All of these are referred to belo
w as the “Additional Terms”. Where Additional Terms apply to a Service, these wi
ll be accessible for you to read either within, or through your use of, that Ser
vice.</p> | |
22 <p>1.4 The Universal Terms, together with the Additional Terms, form a legally b
inding agreement between you and Google in relation to your use of the Software
and Services. It is important that you take the time to read them carefully. Col
lectively, this legal agreement is referred to below as the “Terms”.</p> | |
23 <p>1.5 If there is any contradiction between what the Additional Terms say and w
hat the Universal Terms say, then the Additional Terms shall take precedence in
relation to that Service or that component of the Software.</p> | |
24 <p><strong>2. Accepting the Terms</strong></p> | |
25 <p>2.1 In order to use the Software, you must first agree to the Terms. You may
not use the Software if you do not accept the Terms.</p> | |
26 <p>2.2 You can accept the Terms by:</p> | |
27 <p>(A) clicking to accept or agree to the Terms, where this option is made avail
able to you by Google in the user interface; or</p> | |
28 <p>(B) by actually using the Software. In this case, you understand and agree th
at Google will treat your use of the Software as acceptance of the Terms from th
at point onwards.</p> | |
29 <p><strong>3. License from Google</strong></p> | |
30 <p>3.1 Google gives you a limited non-exclusive license to use the Software, and
any updates provided to you by Google, on the Chrome OS device provided to you.
This license is for the sole purpose of enabling you to use and enjoy the Softw
are as provided by Google, in the manner permitted by the Terms.</p> | |
31 <p>3.2 Subject to section 1.2, you may not (and you may not permit anyone else t
o) copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, decompile or oth
erwise attempt to extract the source code of the Software or any part thereof, u
nless this is expressly permitted or required by law, or unless you have been sp
ecifically told that you may do so by Google, in writing.</p> | |
32 <p>3.3 Subject to section 1.2, unless Google has given you specific written perm
ission to do so, you may not assign (or grant a sub-license of) your rights to u
se the Software, grant a security interest in or over your rights to use the Sof
tware, or otherwise transfer any part of your rights to use the Software.</p> | |
33 <p><strong>4. Software updates</strong></p> | |
34 <p>4.1 The Software may automatically download and install updates from time to
time from Google. These updates are designed to improve, enhance and further dev
elop the Software and may take the form of bug fixes, enhanced functions, new so
ftware modules and completely new versions. You agree to receive such updates (a
nd permit Google to deliver these to you) as part of your use of the Software.</
p> | |
35 <p><strong>5. Apps, Extensions, and Themes</strong></p> | |
36 <p>5.1 These terms in this section apply if you install apps, extensions, or the
mes in the Software. Apps are web applications, developed by Google or third pa
rties, that you can install in Chrome OS. Extensions are small software program
s, developed by Google or third parties, that can modify and enhance the functio
nality of the Chrome OS. Themes are a special kind of extension that changes th
e way the Software looks. Extensions and apps may have greater privileges to ac
cess your browser or your computer than regular webpages, including the ability
to read and modify your private data.</p> | |
37 <p>5.2 From time to time, Chrome OS may check with remote servers (hosted by Go
ogle or by third parties) for available updates to apps and extensions, includin
g but not limited to bug fixes or enhanced functionality. You agree that such up
dates will be automatically requested, downloaded, and installed without further
notice to you.</p> | |
38 <p>5.3 From time to time, Google may discover an app or extension that violates
Google developer terms or other legal agreements, laws, regulations or policies.
Chrome OS will periodically download a list of such apps and extensions from Go
ogle’s servers. You agree that Google may remotely disable or remove any such ap
p or extension from user systems in its sole discretion.</p> | |
39 <p><strong>6. Provision of the Services by Google</strong></p> | |
40 <p>6.1 Google has subsidiaries and affiliated legal entities around the world (“

Services to you on behalf of Google itself. You acknowledge and agree that Subsi
diaries and Affiliates will be entitled to provide the Services to you.</p> | |
41 <p>6.2 Google is constantly innovating in order to provide the best possible exp
erience 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 notic

42 <p>6.3 As part of this continuing innovation, you acknowledge and agree that Goo
gle may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services (or any feature

without prior notice to you. You may stop using the Services at any time. You d
o not need to specifically inform Google when you stop using the Services.</p> | |
43 <p>6.4 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 f
