By using this API, you consent to be bound by these terms in addition to the [Google APIs Terms of Service ("API ToS")](https://developers.google.com/terms).

## Additional Prohibitions

In addition to Section 4 (Prohibitions) of the API ToS, the following terms
apply:

- Publishing API: You will only use the Publishing API for your own activities
  related to your distribution of products under the Google Play Developer
  Distribution Agreement. You will not utilize a third party's Developer Account
  to access the Publishing API, use the Publishing API to publish apps on behalf
  of a third party through a developer tool or service, or share your own
  Developer Account to allow a third party to access the Publishing API on your
  behalf. A violation of this provision may result in suspension, termination of
  access to the Publishing API, your Developer Account, and/or suspension or
  termination of third-party apps created, uploaded, published, distributed or
  updated in violation of this provision.

- voidedPurchases API: You will only use the voidedPurchases API to revoke
  access to voided in-app purchases (refunded by Google or charged back by the
  issuer) and to mitigate fraud. The data shared via the voidedPurchases API is
  considered Google confidential information under the API TOS and may not be
  disclosed except as expressly permitted. A violation of this provision may
  result in suspension or termination of access to the voidedPurchases API or your
  Developer Account.
