This disclaimer establishes the baseline warranty framework by limiting Google's affirmative promises to only those explicitly stated elsewhere in the agreement. The operational significance is that users cannot rely on implied warranties or unstated guarantees regarding service performance or content characteristics.
The updated terms establish that Google provides services 'using reasonable skill and care,' a positive warranty commitment that replaces the prior blanket 'AS IS' disclaimer language. Under the revised policy, if service quality falls below that standard, users are invited to report the issue and Google commits to working toward resolution. The terms now state that Google's only commitments are those in the warranty section, service-specific terms, and non-waivable law, which is narrower than the prior language but more explicit about what consumers can expect. This change provides a clearer operational standard for service delivery and a stated pathway for addressing failures.
View change record →The updated terms state that Google provides services using 'reasonable skill and care' rather than disclaiming warranties entirely under 'as is' language. Previously, the terms disclaimed all warranties except those explicitly stated in service-specific terms. The revised language now acknowledges that both law and the terms give users rights to a certain quality of service and ways to fix problems if things go wrong. The terms establish a process in which users are expected to notify Google if service quality falls short, and Google commits to working with users to resolve the issue. This represents a shift from a liability-limiting warranty structure to one that acknowledges affirmative quality obligations.
View change record →The updated terms materially reduce service quality commitments. The revised language replaces Google's prior commitment to provide services using "reasonable skill and care" with an explicit as-is disclaimer stating that services are provided "without any express or implied warranties" unless stated in service-specific terms. The updated terms now explicitly apply to all users whether signed in to a Google account or not, extending their scope. Google also clarifies that its Privacy Policy applies to service use. These changes establish that users have fewer contractual recourse options if services fail to function as expected, except where service-specific additional terms or applicable law provide otherwise.
View change record →Users operate under terms where Google makes no promises about service features, accuracy, reliability, availability, or whether their submitted content will remain accessible. The provision applies as written upon continued use of the services.
