Google Earth Content Usage Terms (license)

Last updated: 25-11-2019

Under this Content Usage Terms, Google authorizes your organization to include graphics from Google Earth (including Earth Studio) in specified forms of media if you or your organization complete the registration ("Registration") of your usage here.

1. DEFINITIONS

1.1 "Google Product" means the version of Google Earth and Earth Studio (as applicable) licensed to you in connection with your usage as documented in the Registration, and any modifications or updates that Google may provide to you.

1.2 "Content" means the following content types displayed through the Google Product: satellite imagery, terrain, place names and/or borders of geographic locations generated, displayed, and output by the Google Product. Google may choose, in its sole discretion, to make additional content available for use from time to time as indicated on the Geo Guidelines / Permissions page at https://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines/ (or such other address that Google may use from time to time).

1.3 "Product ToS"; means the terms of service located at the following URL(s), depending on which version of Google Earth or Earth Studio that you are licensing and the form of media you are creating:

(1) Google Maps/Earth Additional Terms of Service: http://www.google.com/help/terms_maps.html; or

(2) Such other addresses that Google may specify for these products from time to time.

2. USE OF CONTENT

2.1 Content Use. Subject to all the terms and conditions listed here, Google grants you the following content usage rights (subject to the following restrictions and prohibited actions), all of which supersede any conflicting terms of Product ToS, as applicable:

(a) Right to Create Graphics. During the Term, you may copy, distribute, and publicly display Content solely to create graphics ("Graphics"). You can give copies of the Content to your contractors or partners to help you create the Graphics, subject to all of the terms, conditions, and restrictions listed here.

(b) Right to Display and Distribute Graphics. During and after the Term, you may copy, distribute and publicly display the Graphics (that you already created during the Term) on a perpetual, worldwide basis in the media identified in the Registration. This means you can give copies of your creative works that contain the Graphics to your contractors or partners so that they can broadcast those creative works.

(i) No Redistribution of Raw Content. You will not redistribute or resell the Content on a standalone basis. For example, you must not take the raw or unmodified Content and give or sell it to others.

(ii) No Redistribution in a Product Comprised Mostly of the Content Itself. You will not redistribute or resell the Content as part of a product or service in which the Content is a primary component. For example, you must not use the Content in any application that essentially just displays the Content and doesn't have substantial additional features.

(iii) No Redistribution in a Product that Duplicates the Functions of Google's Products. You will not redistribute or resell the Content as part of a product or service that substantially duplicates the functions of Google's or any of its licensors' products or services. For example, you must not use the Content to create image publishing or image distribution products or services.

(iv) No Use of Street View Content Without Written Consent. In your Graphics, you will not use any Street View imagery unless you obtain Google's prior written consent (which Google may provide by email at its sole discretion). For example, due to third party privacy and intellectual property rights, your Graphics must not include any Street View imagery showing the inside of a mall unless an authorized Google representative has sent you an email explicitly consenting to your use of specified image(s).

(v) No Use of Google Arts & Culture Content. In your Graphics, you will not use any Content from Google Arts & Culture. For example, due to third party intellectual property rights, your Graphics must not include any images of artwork accessible at https://artsandculture.google.com/.

(vi) No Use of Voyager Content. In your Graphics, you will not use any Content from Voyager, the guided tours featured in Google Earth for Web, Android and iOS. For example, due to third party intellectual property rights, your Graphics must not include any images or videos featured in these guided tours at https://g.co/earth/voyager.

2.2 Limited Rights. Google reserves all rights and licenses in and to the Google Product and the Content not expressly granted to you under these license terms. Your use of the Google Product and the Content is also subject to the Product ToS except to the extent superseded by the content usage rights granted to you in Section 2.1.

2.3 Attribution. During and after the Term, all of the following will apply:

(a) Display of Attribution. You will conspicuously display in each Graphic an unobstructed attribution graphic module stating that the Content is provided by Google and, when applicable, Google's third party data provider(s).

(b) Format. Your attribution graphic module must conform to the size, format, and placement requirements detailed at https://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines/attr-guide/ (or such other address that Google may use from time to time).

(c) No Misleading Attribution. You must not display anything in connection with the Graphic that in any way implies that Google or its third-party data providers have provided anything other than the Content, unless Google otherwise expressly agrees in writing. All use of the Google name and your attribution graphic module inures to the benefit of Google.

3. TERM

3.1 Term. Unless Google revokes the license early under Section 3.2, this license will (i) take effect on the date of the Registration, and (ii) continue for one (1) year (the "Term"). However, you may continue to perpetually display the Graphics you created during the Term, as long as you do so in accordance with all the terms and conditions listed here.

3.2 Revocation by Google.

(a) For Breach. Google may revoke this license immediately upon written notice if you breach any material term listed here or any applicable material term of the Product ToS.

(b) For Adverse Impact. If Google has a reasonable, good faith belief that your use of the Content or Graphics have had, are having, or would result in an adverse impact on Google's reputation, brand, or goodwill, Google may provide you with notice of such adverse impact. If after ten (10) days of Google's notice you have failed to appropriately remedy your use of the Content or Graphics, Google may revoke this license immediately.

(c) For Non-Compliance. Google reserves the sole right and discretion to determine whether your use of the Google Product(s), Content, and brand features is in compliance with the terms listed here and the Product ToS. If Google determines that your use is not in compliance with the terms listed here and the Product ToS, Google may provide you with notice of such adverse impact. If after ten (10) days of Google's notice you have failed to appropriately remedy your use of the Google Product(s), Content and/or brand features, Google may revoke this license immediately.

4. AMENDMENTS. Google may make changes to the license terms here (and any linked documents) from time to time. Unless otherwise noted by Google, material changes to the license terms will become effective ten (10) days after they are posted. If you do not agree to the revised license terms, please stop using the Content.
