Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that the license granted to use Google Analytics software is revocable, meaning Google may withdraw it consistent with the termination provisions of the agreement. The prohibition on using third-party-labeled data in the service for any purpose other than generating reports operationally restricts how account holders can use data from multi-account or agency implementations.
