Key Governance Provisions
High Prohibition on Unauthorized Access to Other Google Products

This clause extends the user's contractual obligations to cover cross-product conduct, making violations of other Google products' terms a breach of this agreement as well.

High Prohibition on Disabling or Circumventing Service

This clause makes users contractually responsible not only for their own conduct but also for any third party they allow to misuse the Service in these ways.

High No Refunds of Fees Upon Termination

The no-refund rule applies to any termination, meaning the user forfeits all fees paid regardless of the reason for or circumstances of termination.

High $500 Aggregate Liability Cap

A $500 aggregate ceiling means that regardless of the scale of harm suffered, the maximum financial recovery from Google under this agreement is $500.

High Google Will Not Share GTM Data Without Consent

This clause restricts Google from using GTM data across its other products unless the user has consented, providing a meaningful data-sharing boundary.
