  1. Added: When using agentic services, including the Computer Use API, you are solely responsible for the actions and tasks performed by the service, such as determining whether the service is appropriate for your use case, authorizing the service's access and connection to data, applications, and systems, and exercising judgment and supervision when and if the service is used in production environments. You will not automatically bypass any requests for human confirmation.
  2. Added: "Grounding with Google Maps" is a Service that provides Google Maps Grounded Results as a feature of Gemini API. "Google Maps Grounded Results" mean responses that Google generates using Google Maps Data in response to an end user initiated prompt. "Google Maps Data" means the content originating from Google Maps in the Google Maps Grounded Results, including in the output text, in the metadata of the Google Maps Grounded Results, in the Google Maps Links, and content accessed through Google Maps Links. "Google Maps Links" mean the URLs that Google provides in a Google Maps Grounded Result and any titles or labels provided with those URLs. If Google Maps Links are clicked on, these separate Google Maps End User Terms and the Google Privacy Policy govern the destination page. Google Maps Data in the text of a Google Maps Grounded Result will be identified via the Google Maps Links. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Google and its content providers retain all rights to Google Maps Data.
  3. Added: You will only use Grounding with Google Maps in an application that is owned and operated by you and will only use Grounding with Google Maps to display the Google Maps Grounded Results with the associated Google Maps Links to the end user who initiated the prompt. An end user is an individual you permit to use your application.
  4. Added: You will not modify the Google Maps Grounded Result or intersperse any other content with the Google Maps Grounded Result, place any interstitial content between the text of the Google Maps Grounded Result and the Google Maps Links or the Google Maps Links and the associated destination page, or redirect end users away from the destination pages or minimize, remove, or otherwise inhibit the full and complete display of any destination page.

  11. Added: train on any Google Maps Data; or

  13.

When using Grounding with Google Maps via paid quota of Gemini API, this processing for debugging and testing of systems is in accordance with the Data Processing Addendum for Products Where Google is a Data Processor .
  14. Added: This subsection "Grounding with Google Maps" will survive termination of the Agreement, as applicable.
  15. Added: The following additional terms apply to models that can be used to control robots or other robotic hardware (" Robotics Models ").
  16. Added: You acknowledge and agree that the Robotics Models have not been tested with all makes and models of robotics hardware, and therefore, that the performance and safety of the Robotics Models in connection with your hardware is not guaranteed or provided with a warranty of any kind. You therefore agree to operate any hardware or other products that you may use in connection with the Robotics Models in a safe manner, and completely at your own risk. The Robotics Models may act in an unpredictable or unexpected manner when used in connection with robotics hardware. You therefore agree to use discretion before using the Robotics Models in a production, commercial, or public environment, and to not use the Robotics Models for safety-critical applications or work, such as in the following settings: (i) healthcare, (ii) transportation, or (iii) other areas where safety protocols are vital, and a malfunction could reasonably foreseeably lead to death, personal injury, or property damage.
