Google Toolbar

Google Toolbar Terms of Use

Thank you for trying out the Google Toolbar software! By using this software, including any third party software made available in conjunction with this software, ("Google Toolbar") you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the "Terms and Conditions").

These Terms and Conditions are subject to periodic updates. By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions you also signify your acceptance of any such updated versions of these Terms and Conditions. The latest available version of these Terms and Conditions may be accessed and viewed at http://toolbar.google.com/terms-dvx.php

Information Issues
When you download the Google Toolbar in combination with DivX, the Google Toolbar is by default configured with the Advanced Features disabled. This means that the Google Toolbar does not send information to Google identifying the web pages that you are viewing. The Google Toolbar may, however, periodically contact our server to provide us information about your Google Toolbar (like whether you are running the most current version). In addition to the standard information that your browser sends to most any other web page you might visit, this communication also involves sending a computer-generated unique identifier that is stored in your computer's registry upon install and that we use for internal business purposes such as auditing and security. We do not share this unique information with third parties, unless we need to do so for legal or security reasons.

If you later choose to activate the Advanced Features of the Google Toolbar, please note that additional information will be sent to Google, including the URL of the web page you are visiting. Again, however, we do not share that information with third parties, unless we need to do so for legal or security reasons.

For more information, please see the complete Privacy Policy for the Google Toolbar.

Personal Use Only
Google Toolbar is made available to you for your personal, non-commercial use only. This means that you may use it at work or at home, to search for anything you want. But you first need to obtain Google's permission if you want to sell the Google Toolbar or any information, services, or software associated with or derived from it, or if you want to modify, copy, license, or create derivative works from the Google Toolbar. In that case, please send an email to toolbar-feedback@google.com. Furthermore, you may not use Google Toolbar in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair Google's search services (e.g., you may not use the Google Toolbar in an automated manner), nor may you use Google Toolbar in any manner that could interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of Google's search services.

If you have comments on Google Toolbar or ideas on how to improve it, please email toolbar-feedback@google.com. Please note that by doing so, you also grant Google and third parties permission to use and incorporate your ideas or comments into Google Toolbar (or third party software) without further compensation.

Intellectual Property
You acknowledge that Google or third parties own all right, title and interest in and to the Google Toolbar, portions thereof, or software provided through or in conjunction with the Google Toolbar, including without limitation all Intellectual Property Rights.

You agree not to modify, adapt, translate, prepare derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive source code from Google Toolbar. You also agree to not remove, obscure, or alter Google's or any third party's copyright notice, trademarks, or other proprietary rights notices affixed to or contained within or accessed in conjunction with or through the Google Toolbar.

Google's Search Service
Google Toolbar is designed to be used in conjunction with Google's search services. Accordingly, your use of Google Toolbar is also defined by Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Miscellaneous Provisions
These Terms and Conditions will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions of California or your actual state or country of residence.

These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and replace all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms and Conditions will be effective only if in writing and signed by Google and/or a third party who make its software available in conjunction with or through the Google Toolbar.
