Updates to Terms and Conditions

Wednesday, March 23, 2005


Hi everyone,

Last night, we updated the AdWords API Terms and Conditions. We made several minor changes in order to further clarify a few points and to correct a typo.

The changes are as follows:

Section II. 3c) Added "or for transmissions directly to Google, at least as secure as the protocol being accepted by the AdWords API servers.”

Section II. 3d) Added “Except as expressly permitted by Google under a separate Google product or service feature,”

Section III 2a iv) Modified existing language and inserted some language so that it now reads “The AdWords API Data in such databases may only be accessed (1) by AdWords API Clients in conformance with this agreement, (2) by intermediary tools whose sole purpose is to analyze data for or supply data to an AdWords API Client in conformance with this AdWords API Agreement or (3) by reporting tools to produce reports only for the account owner of the account from which the AdWords API Data was received.”

Section III. 2h) Added “or for transmissions directly to Google, at least as secure as the protocol being accepted by the AdWords API servers.”

Section IV. 14) Added "Google", so the sentence now reads "You and Google are not legal partners or agents, but are independent contractors.”
