Change Summary
Google updated its Terms of Service on May 5, 2026, with three main changes to warranty and disclaimer language. The company shifted from an 'AS IS' warranty disclaimer to a statement that it provides services using 'reasonable skill and care' and acknowledges that law grants users rights to service quality and remedies for problems. The terms now clarify that the only commitments Google makes are those stated in the warranty section, service-specific terms, and non-waivable law, removing the prior all-caps legal disclaimers. Additionally, the country version changed from United States to Vietnam, and the reference to the Privacy Policy was clarified as not part of the terms themselves.
