Google Chrome Terms of Service

This document constitutes the Google Chrome and ChromeOS Additional Terms of Service (last modified 30 September 2025), governing the executable code version of Google Chrome browser and ChromeOS operating system, and operating as a supplement to the main Google Terms of Service at policies.google.com/terms. The terms incorporate by reference the broader Google Terms of Service and add product-specific provisions, including an AVC patent portfolio license clause restricting use to personal consumer contexts and explicitly excluding commercial or remuneration-generating uses without additional licensing. The AVC patent portfolio notice is a standard industry patent licensing disclosure required by MPEG LA (now Via-LA), and the terms do not appear to contain provisions such as mandatory arbitration clauses, data sale authorizations, or financial terms beyond what is addressed in the referenced main Google Terms of Service; the document's substantive scope is notably narrow given the scale of the products it governs, with most material obligations deferred to the base Google Terms of Service. The document engages indirectly with consumer protection frameworks including the EU Digital Markets Act and GDPR to the extent those frameworks apply to Chrome and ChromeOS as Google products, though no specific regulatory provisions are addressed within this supplemental document itself; compliance teams should evaluate this document in conjunction with the main Google Terms of Service and applicable Google Privacy Policy. The AVC license restriction may have implications for business or developer users who deploy or embed Chrome or ChromeOS in commercial contexts receiving remuneration, warranting review by organizations that monetize video encoding or decoding workflows.
