Thank you for using the Google Assistant API (the “Assistant API”), an API that
allows you to embed the Google Assistant on devices or software you are
developing (your “Project”). Through the Assistant API, your Project may send
queries to, and receive responses from, the Google Assistant service.
By accessing or using the Assistant API, you are agreeing to the Google APIs
Terms of Service at
https://developers.google.com/terms
(or such other URL as Google may provide) and these Google Assistant API
Terms of Service (collectively, the “Assistant Terms of Service”).
Google may make available to you certain software programs and libraries for
accessing the Assistant API via specific reference hardware (“Assistant
Developer Libraries”).
With respect to any Assistant Developer Libraries provided by Google to
you, Google hereby grants you a revocable, non-exclusive,
non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use and reproduce those
Assistant Developer Libraries in binary form for the purpose of
developing and using your Project as permitted by these Assistant Terms
of Service. All rights, including without limitation all intellectual
property rights, not expressly granted by these Assistant Terms of
Service are reserved, and no additional rights or licenses to any
Assistant Developer Libraries or Assistant APIs are granted by
implication, estoppel or otherwise.
You may not, and you may not assist any third party to, modify, create
derivative works of, decompile, deconstruct, reverse engineer, or
otherwise attempt to discover the source code of any Assistant Developer
Libraries.
Portions of the Assistant Developer Libraries may be provided with
notices and open source licenses from communities that govern the use of
those portions of the Assistant Developer Libraries. Any licenses
granted under these Assistant Terms of Service do not alter any rights
and obligations you may have under such open source licenses or notices.
If you allow one or more users other than yourself to interact with your
Project to access the Google Assistant on their behalf (your “Users”), you
must:
- issue queries to the Google Assistant (or otherwise access the Google
Assistant) on your Users’ behalf only in response to a contemporaneous
query issued by your Users to the Google Assistant via your Project;
- log or monitor your Users’ Google Assistant activity only with their
informed consent;
- provide your Users with a straightforward mechanism to terminate the
access that your Project has to their Google Account, as well as to
delete any other data in your possession related to your Users’
interactions with the Google Assistant through your Project; and
- not deceive or mislead your Users regarding the functionality of your
Project, how it interacts with the Google Assistant, or any other topic
that may bear upon your Users’ privacy or other interests that may be
affected by your Project;
- comply with all applicable privacy laws.
Google provides the Assistant API only for developmental use on your Project
devices. You may not:
- commercialize your Project without written permission from Google;
- incorporate or use the Assistant API with any standalone software
applications that are not necessary for operation of your Project
device; or
- circumvent the limits Google places on the number of queries your
Project may issue, Users it may support, or any other limit Google may
put in place.
You will not misrepresent functionality that is not provided by Google as
being Google-provided functionality, nor will you allow or encourage others
to do so.
