Version history

Google's Terms of Service became effective July 30, 2026, with several operational revisions. The updated terms add disclosure about automatic network usage by Google services that may count against users' data allowances, clarify that some content may not be suitable for everyone, modify the professional advice disclaimer to explicitly exclude medical diagnosis or treatment, and adjust punctuation in account termination and dispute resolution language. The terms now require users to be responsible for all network costs associated with background Google service operations.

Google updated its Terms of Service on June 25, 2026, making changes to warranty disclaimers, liability limitations, content removal procedures, and indemnification terms for business users. The updated terms remove the previous warranty that Google provides services 'using reasonable skill and care' and replace it with an 'as is' disclaimer with no express or implied warranties. The revised terms also remove the 'reasonable belief' standard from content removal procedures, instead authorizing removal if content 'could harm' users or Google, and restructure liability caps and exclusions, including removing certain carve-outs for fraud and negligence while establishing a $200 minimum liability floor for all users.

Google updated its Terms of Service effective June 18, 2026, with changes to warranty disclaimers, liability limits, content removal procedures, and legal remedies. The updated terms replace blanket 'as-is' warranty language with a stated commitment to provide services 'using reasonable skill and care,' and add a dispute resolution process requiring users to notify Google of quality issues. Liability caps were increased from $200 to US$500 or 125% of fees paid in the prior 12 months, and the content removal process now requires Google to have a 'reasonable belief' that content breaches terms before removal, except in cases of urgent harm or legal violations.

Google updated its Terms of Service effective June 17, 2026, with a planned full rollout on July 30, 2026. The changes substantially narrow warranty disclaimers, eliminate liability carve-outs for negligence and fraud, introduce a $200 liability cap for all users, remove the requirement that Google act with 'reasonable skill and care', and simplify content removal procedures by eliminating the 'reasonably believe' standard. The updated terms also clarify that the Privacy Policy applies to all users and revise indemnification requirements for business users.

Google updated its Terms of Service on June 12, 2026, making several substantive changes to warranty language and service descriptions. Previously, the terms disclaimed all warranties in all-caps legal language, stating services were provided 'AS IS' with no express or implied warranties. The updated terms now affirmatively state that Google provides services 'using reasonable skill and care' and establish a warranty section where users can report quality issues for resolution, while disclaimers now limit commitments only to what appears in the warranty section, service-specific terms, and non-waivable law. This shifts the contractual framing from broad disclaimer to specific warranty commitment with a dispute-resolution mechanism.

Google updated its Terms of Service on June 12, 2026, making several changes to warranty disclaimers, liability limitations, and content removal procedures. The updated terms now include an explicit 'as is' warranty disclaimer in capital letters, remove certain liability carve-outs (fraud and negligence), establish a $200 liability cap for all users, and remove the word 'reasonably' from content removal procedures. These changes narrow the circumstances under which users can claim breach and establish firmer limits on what Google will pay in disputes.

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.

Google updated its Terms of Service on April 19, 2026, making several material changes to warranty disclaimers, scope of applicability, and policy references. The updated terms now explicitly state that services are provided "as is" without warranties unless stated in service-specific terms, replacing prior language that promised services using "reasonable skill and care." The agreement now applies to all users whether signed in or not, and clarifies that the Privacy Policy applies to service use. These changes shift the legal framework for service quality expectations and expand the stated scope of the terms.

Google updated the country version designation in its Terms of Service from Thailand to Cambodia on April 18, 2026. This appears to be a geographic or regional classification change in the document metadata rather than a substantive modification to the terms themselves. The operational content of the agreement—what you can expect from Google and what Google expects from you—remains unchanged.
