License Terms and Conditions
This is the Android Software Development Kit License Agreement.
1. Introduction
1.1 The Android Software Development Kit (referred to in this License Agreement as the
"SDK" and specifically including the Android system files, packaged APIs, and Google APIs
add-ons) is licensed to you subject to the terms of this License Agreement. This License
Agreement forms a legally binding contract between you and Google in relation to your use
of the SDK.
1.2 "Android" means the Android software stack for devices, as made available under the
Android Open Source Project, which is located at the following URL:
http://source.android.com/, as updated from time to time.
1.3 "Google" means Google Inc., a Delaware corporation with principal place of business
at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.
2. Accepting this License Agreement
2.1 In order to use the SDK, you must first agree to this License Agreement. You may not
use the SDK if you do not accept this License Agreement.
2.2 By clicking to accept, you hereby agree to the terms of this License Agreement.
2.3 You may not use the SDK and may not accept the License Agreement if you are a person
barred from receiving the SDK under the laws of the United States or other countries
including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the SDK.
2.4 If you are agreeing to be bound by this License Agreement on behalf of your employer
or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind your
employer or such entity to this License Agreement. If you do not have the requisite
authority, you may not accept the License Agreement or use the SDK on behalf of your
employer or other entity.
3. SDK License from Google
3.1 Subject to the terms of this License Agreement, Google grants you a limited,
worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable and non-exclusive license to use the SDK solely to
develop applications to run on the Android platform.
3.2 You agree that Google or third parties own all legal right, title and interest in and
to the SDK, including any Intellectual Property Rights that subsist in the SDK.
"Intellectual Property Rights" means any and all rights under patent law, copyright law,
trade secret law, trademark law, and any and all other proprietary rights. Google reserves
all rights not expressly granted to you.
3.3 You may not use the SDK for any purpose not expressly permitted by this License
Agreement. Except to the extent required by applicable third party licenses, you may not:
(a) copy (except for backup purposes), modify, adapt, redistribute, decompile, reverse
engineer, disassemble, or create derivative works of the SDK or any part of the SDK; or
(b) load any part of the SDK onto a mobile handset or any other hardware device except a
personal computer, combine any part of the SDK with other software, or distribute any
software or device incorporating a part of the SDK.
3.4 You agree that you will not take any actions that may cause or result in the
fragmentation of Android, including but not limited to distributing, participating in the
creation of, or promoting in any way a software development kit derived from the SDK.
3.5 Use, reproduction and distribution of components of the SDK licensed under an open
source software license are governed solely by the terms of that open source software
license and not this License Agreement.
3.6 You agree that the form and nature of the SDK that Google provides may change without
prior notice to you and that future versions of the SDK may be incompatible with
applications developed on previous versions of the SDK. You agree that Google may stop
(permanently or temporarily) providing the SDK (or any features within the SDK) to you or
to users generally at Google's sole discretion, without prior notice to you.
3.7 Nothing in this License Agreement gives you a right to use any of Google's trade
names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, or other distinctive brand
features.
3.8 You agree that you will not remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary rights notices
(including copyright and trademark notices) that may be affixed to or contained within the
SDK.
4. Use of the SDK by You
4.1 Google agrees that it obtains no right, title or interest from you (or your
licensors) under this License Agreement in or to any software applications that you
develop using the SDK, including any intellectual property rights that subsist in those
applications.
4.2 You agree to use the SDK and write applications only for purposes that are permitted
by (a) this License Agreement and (b) any applicable law, regulation or generally accepted
practices or guidelines in the relevant jurisdictions (including any laws regarding the
export of data or software to and from the United States or other relevant countries).
4.3 You agree that if you use the SDK to develop applications for general public users,
you will protect the privacy and legal rights of those users. If the users provide you
with user names, passwords, or other login information or personal information, you must
make the users aware that the information will be available to your application, and you
must provide legally adequate privacy notice and protection for those users. If your
application stores personal or sensitive information provided by users, it must do so
securely. If the user provides your application with Google Account information, your
application may only use that information to access the user's Google Account when, and
for the limited purposes for which, the user has given you permission to do so.
4.4 You agree that you will not engage in any activity with the SDK, including the
development or distribution of an application, that interferes with, disrupts, damages, or
accesses in an unauthorized manner the servers, networks, or other properties or services
of any third party including, but not limited to, Google or any mobile communications
carrier.
4.5 You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Google has no responsibility
to you or to any third party for) any data, content, or resources that you create,
transmit or display through Android and/or applications for Android, and for the
consequences of your actions (including any loss or damage which Google may suffer) by
doing so.
4.6 You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Google has no responsibility
to you or to any third party for) any breach of your obligations under this License
Agreement, any applicable third party contract or Terms of Service, or any applicable law
or regulation, and for the consequences (including any loss or damage which Google or any
third party may suffer) of any such breach.
5. Your Developer Credentials
5.1 You agree that you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any
developer credentials that may be issued to you by Google or which you may choose yourself
and that you will be solely responsible for all applications that are developed under your
developer credentials.
6. Privacy and Information
6.1 In order to continually innovate and improve the SDK, Google may collect certain
usage statistics from the software including but not limited to a unique identifier,
associated IP address, version number of the software, and information on which tools
and/or services in the SDK are being used and how they are being used. Before any of this
information is collected, the SDK will notify you and seek your consent. If you withhold
consent, the information will not be collected.
6.2 The data collected is examined in the aggregate to improve the SDK and is maintained
in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.
7. Third Party Applications
7.1 If you use the SDK to run applications developed by a third party or that access
data, content or resources provided by a third party, you agree that Google is not
responsible for those applications, data, content, or resources. You understand that all
data, content or resources which you may access through such third party applications are
the sole responsibility of the person from which they originated and that Google is not
liable for any loss or damage that you may experience as a result of the use or access of
any of those third party applications, data, content, or resources.
7.2 You should be aware the data, content, and resources presented to you through such a
third party application may be protected by intellectual property rights which are owned
by the providers (or by other persons or companies on their behalf). You may not modify,
rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute or create derivative works based on these data,
content, or resources (either in whole or in part) unless you have been specifically given
permission to do so by the relevant owners.
7.3 You acknowledge that your use of such third party applications, data, content, or
resources may be subject to separate terms between you and the relevant third party. In
that case, this License Agreement does not affect your legal relationship with these third
parties.
8. Using Android APIs
8.1 Google Data APIs
8.1.1 If you use any API to retrieve data from Google, you acknowledge that the data may
be protected by intellectual property rights which are owned by Google or those parties
that provide the data (or by other persons or companies on their behalf). Your use of any
such API may be subject to additional Terms of Service. You may not modify, rent, lease,
loan, sell, distribute or create derivative works based on this data (either in whole or
in part) unless allowed by the relevant Terms of Service.
8.1.2 If you use any API to retrieve a user's data from Google, you acknowledge and agree
that you shall retrieve data only with the user's explicit consent and only when, and for
the limited purposes for which, the user has given you permission to do so.
9. Terminating this License Agreement
9.1 This License Agreement will continue to apply until terminated by either you or
Google as set out below.
9.2 If you want to terminate this License Agreement, you may do so by ceasing your use of
the SDK and any relevant developer credentials.
9.3 Google may at any time, terminate this License Agreement with you if:
(A) you have breached any provision of this License Agreement; or
(B) Google is required to do so by law; or
(C) the partner with whom Google offered certain parts of SDK (such as APIs) to you has
terminated its relationship with Google or ceased to offer certain parts of the SDK to
you; or
(D) Google decides to no longer provide the SDK or certain parts of the SDK to users in
the country in which you are resident or from which you use the service, or the provision
of the SDK or certain SDK services to you by Google is, in Google's sole discretion, no
longer commercially viable.
9.4 When this License Agreement comes to an end, all of the legal rights, obligations and
liabilities that you and Google have benefited from, been subject to (or which have
accrued over time whilst this License Agreement has been in force) or which are expressed
to continue indefinitely, shall be unaffected by this cessation, and the provisions of
paragraph 14.7 shall continue to apply to such rights, obligations and liabilities
indefinitely.
10. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
10.1 YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SDK IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND
THAT THE SDK IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND FROM
GOOGLE.
10.2 YOUR USE OF THE SDK AND ANY MATERIAL DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE
USE OF THE SDK IS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK AND YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY
DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR OTHER DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM SUCH USE.
10.3 GOOGLE FURTHER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND,
WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

ITS LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY
YOU, INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER OR NOT GOOGLE OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN
ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH LOSSES ARISING.
12. Indemnification
12.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold
harmless Google, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and
agents from and against any and all claims, actions, suits or proceedings, as well as any
and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys
fees) arising out of or accruing from (a) your use of the SDK, (b) any application you
develop on the SDK that infringes any copyright, trademark, trade secret, trade dress,
patent or other intellectual property right of any person or defames any person or
violates their rights of publicity or privacy, and (c) any non-compliance by you with this
License Agreement.
13. Changes to the License Agreement
13.1 Google may make changes to the License Agreement as it distributes new versions of
the SDK. When these changes are made, Google will make a new version of the License
Agreement available on the website where the SDK is made available.
14. General Legal Terms
14.1 This License Agreement constitutes the whole legal agreement between you and Google
and governs your use of the SDK (excluding any services which Google may provide to you
under a separate written agreement), and completely replaces any prior agreements between
you and Google in relation to the SDK.
14.2 You agree that if Google does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy
which is contained in this License Agreement (or which Google has the benefit of under any
applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Google's rights and that
those rights or remedies will still be available to Google.
14.3 If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that
any provision of this License Agreement is invalid, then that provision will be removed
from this License Agreement without affecting the rest of this License Agreement. The
remaining provisions of this License Agreement will continue to be valid and enforceable.
14.4 You acknowledge and agree that each member of the group of companies of which Google
is the parent shall be third party beneficiaries to this License Agreement and that such
other companies shall be entitled to directly enforce, and rely upon, any provision of

this, no other person or company shall be third party beneficiaries to this License
Agreement.

Agreement, shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its
conflict of laws provisions. You and Google agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the courts located within the county of Santa Clara, California to resolve any legal
matter arising from this License Agreement. Notwithstanding this, you agree that Google
shall still be allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent
legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
