Welcome to Google Custom

you ("You") accept and agree to be bound by the following
terms and conditions (the "Terms of Use") with Google Inc.,
and its subsidiaries or affiliated companies ("Google").
1. Service.
1.1 Description of
Service. Custom Search Engine assists You in providing customized Web
search services on the Site (defined below) by utilizing the Google search engine.
For purposes of the Terms of Use, "Site" shall mean the Web
site or sites on which You place JavaScript or similar programming ("Code")
which renders the Google search box (or other means used by users of the Site
("End Users") to enter a search query ("Query"))
on the Site ("Search Box"). All Queries sent from the Site to
Google shall comply with the technical specifications that Google may provide
from time to time, and and must originate from the Site. Google will receive
Queries from You at Google's network interface, process the Queries using
Google's search engine and display search results ("Results")
on a Results Page. For purposes of the Terms of Use, "Results Page"
is defined as the Google hosted or controlled Web page that contains and displays
to an End User the Results from the Service.
The Results displayed by
the Service will be determined by some or all of the following: (a) the web
sites over which the search is to be restricted or filtered, as provided by you
in the Service; (b) labels created by You; or (c) other Service features that
Google may make available from time to time as described in the Service
documentation, which can be found at https://www.google.com/cse/docs/ or other URL that
Google may make available from time to time at its sole discretion.
Unless explicitly stated
otherwise, the Service may be modified or terminated at any time by Google for
any reason, and without notice, without liability to You, any End User or any
third party. Any new features that augment or enhance the current Service shall
be subject to the Terms of Use.
1.2 Modifications. Google may modify
the Terms of Use at any time with or without notice, and you can review the
most current version of the Terms of Use online at any time at Terms of Use. If a modification is unacceptable to You, You
may cancel the Service on the Site and terminate the Terms of Use by removing
the Code and the Search Box from Your Site. If You continue to use the Code
and/or the Search Box on any Site, You will be deemed to have accepted the
modifications.
1.3 Your Obligations. You shall receive
a Query from the End User and shall forward that Query to Google. You may not
in any way frame, cache or modify the Results produced by Google, except as
otherwise agreed to between You and Google. Google will not be responsible for
receiving Queries from End Users or for transmission of data between You and
Google's network interface. You shall be responsible for providing all hardware
and software required to perform Your obligations under the Terms of Use,
including but not limited to the following: (a) implementing and maintaining
the Site, (b) implementing and maintaining the interface between the Site and
the Service, and (c) receiving a Query from an End User and transmitting the
Query to Google.
1.4 Appropriate Conduct. You shall not, and
shall not allow any third party to: (a) edit, modify, truncate, filter or
change the order of the information contained in any Results (either
individually or collectively), including, without limitation, by way of
commingling Results with non-Google provided search results or advertising; (b)
frame any Results or Results Page except as provided for in the Service
documentation; (c) display any Results in pop-up, pop-under, exit windows,
expanding buttons, or animation; (d) display any Results to any third parties
other than End Users; (e) minimize, remove or otherwise inhibit the full and
complete display of any Results Page (including any Results); (f) directly or
indirectly access, launch and/or activate the Service through or from, or
otherwise incorporate the Service in, any Web site or other means other than

sell, lease, syndicate, sub-syndicate, lend, or use for co-branding,
timesharing, service bureau or other unauthorized purposes any Service or
access thereto (including, but not limited to Results, or any part, copy or
derivative thereof); (h) enter into any arrangement or agreement under which
any third party pays You fees, You pay any third party fees, or either shares
in any revenue payments and/or royalties for any Results; (i) directly or
indirectly generate queries, or impressions of or clicks on Results, through
any automated, deceptive, fraudulent or other invalid means (including, but not
limited to, click spam, robots, macro programs, and Internet agents); (j)
modify, adapt, translate, prepare derivative works from, decompile, reverse
engineer, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive source code from any
Service or any other Google technology, content, data, routines, algorithms,
methods, ideas design, user interface techniques, software, materials, and

thereof); (m) create or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or

services that violate or encourage conduct that would violate any criminal
laws, any other applicable laws, Service policies, or any third party
rights.

Terms of Use (the "Term") shall commence on the date upon
which You add Code to Your Site and shall continue in force thereafter, unless

time. In addition, either party may terminate the Terms of Use at any time, for

that Your breach of service/license restrictions contained herein may cause
irreparable harm to Google, the extent of which would be difficult to
ascertain. Accordingly, You agree that, in addition to any other remedies to
which Google may be legally entitled, Google shall have the right to seek
immediate injunctive relief in the event of a breach of such sections by You or

Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA
94043. Notice will be deemed given (i) upon receipt when delivered personally,
(ii) upon written verification of receipt from overnight courier, (iii) upon
verification of receipt of registered or certified mail or (iv) upon
verification of receipt via facsimile, provided that such notice is also sent
simultaneously via first class mail. You will not assign or otherwise transfer
Your rights or delegate Your obligations under the Terms of Use, in whole or in
part, without the prior written consent of Google; and any attempt to do so
will be null and void. Any assignment or other transfer of rights or delegation
by You shall not operate to relieve You of Your responsibilities under these
Terms of Use. You will require Your assignees, transferees, or delegates to
agree, in writing, to the terms and conditions of this Terms of Use. This Terms
of Use and any claim or dispute of whatever nature arising out of or relating
to this Terms of Use will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of California and applicable federal U.S laws, without giving

the laws of a different state. Each party agrees to submit to the personal and
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Santa Clara County, California.
The parties specifically exclude from application to the Terms of Use the
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and
the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act. The Terms of Use supersedes
any other prior or collateral agreements, whether oral or written, with respect
to the subject matter hereof. Any amendments or modifications to the Terms of
Use must (i) be in writing; (ii) refer to the Terms of Use; and (iii) be
executed by an authorized representative of each party. The failure to require
performance of any provision will not affect a party's right to require
performance at any time thereafter; nor will waiver of a breach of any
provision constitute a waiver of the provision itself. If any provision is
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, invalid or
otherwise contrary to law, such provision will be interpreted so as to best
accomplish its intended objectives and the remaining provisions will remain in
full force and effect. The parties hereto are and will remain independent
contractors and nothing herein will be deemed to create any agency,
partnership, or joint venture relationship between the parties. Neither party
will be deemed to be an employee or legal representative of the other nor will
either party have any right or authority to create any obligation on behalf of
the other party. Neither party will be liable for failing or delaying
performance of its obligations (except for the payment of money) resulting from
any condition beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to,
governmental action, acts of terrorism, earthquake, fire, flood or other acts
of God, labor conditions, power failures, and Internet disturbances. The Terms
of Use is not intended to benefit, nor will it be deemed to give rise to, any
rights in any third party. The Terms of Use will be binding on and inure to the
benefit of each of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
The terms of use
constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof. The terms of use supersede, and the terms of the terms of use
govern, any other prior or collateral agreements with respect to the subject
matter hereof.
