Welcome to Google Free web search, Google Free SafeSearch and Google Free web search with site search (collectively, "Google Free"), each owned and operated by Google Inc. ("Google"). By using the Google Free service (the "Service"), you ("You") accept and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the "Terms of Use"). Nothing in the Terms of Use should be construed to confer any rights to third party beneficiaries.

1. Service.

   1.1 Description of Service. Google Free web search assists You in providing Web search services on the Site (defined below) by utilizing the Google search engine to crawl and index pages from the World Wide Web (the "Web"). For purposes of the Terms of Use, "Site" shall mean the Web site or sites (and not any Client Application, as defined below) 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"). If you would like to access Google Free through any means other than the Site, including but not limited to through an application such as a toolbar, plug-in, helper, component or other executable code that runs a user’s computer (examples include applications that provide instant messaging, chat, email, data, file viewing, media playing, file sharing, games, internet navigation, search and other services) ("Client Application"), then you must first obtain Google’s prior written consent by submitting an email request to apprequest@google.com. If You have chosen to customize the Service in accordance with the specifications provided by Google, all Queries sent from the Site to Google shall use the same alphanumeric code assigned to You by Google that identifies You (the "Client Name"). All Queries sent to Google by or on behalf of You must contain the Client Name, if applicable, 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. Google shall have sole and complete control over the content and format of the Results Pages. If you have chosen to customize the Service in accordance with the specifications provided by Google, such Results will be displayed using the template designed by You and provided to Google, which template includes the designs selected by You (the "Template").

   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 http://www.google.com/services/terms_free.html. 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 .
