These terms from NotebookLM no longer apply to most users — they only bind business partners whose signed agreements specifically reference them. If they do apply to you, you must follow NotebookLM's rules on how the service can be used, including not trying to get around its safety filters and not using it to build AI or machine learning tools. The service warns that its outputs can be inaccurate or offensive and should never be treated as professional medical, legal, or financial advice.
This document establishes the Google Generative AI Additional Terms of Service governing NotebookLM, which are now of limited application — they bind only business partners whose signed agreements expressly reference these terms. The terms impose binding acceptable-use obligations on covered users, including compliance with a separate Prohibited Use Policy, a prohibition on bypassing safety measures or submitting non-compliant content, and a prohibition on using the Services to develop machine learning models or related technology. The document limits liability by disclosing that outputs may be inaccurate or offensive, disclaiming any professional-advice value for medical, legal, financial, or similar content, and requiring users to follow Service-specific notices restricting sensitive or confidential inputs. NotebookLM's Services include built-in safety features that actively block content violating the Prohibited Use Policy.
If you are a business partner with a signed agreement referencing these terms, you are bound by NotebookLM's Prohibited Use Policy, prohibited from attempting to bypass safety features, and prohibited from using the Services to develop machine learning models or related technology. You must also follow any in-Service notices — for example, warnings not to enter sensitive or confidential information — and comply with any age restrictions specific to a given Service. NotebookLM's outputs may be inaccurate or offensive and are not a substitute for qualified professional advice in medical, legal, financial, or other professional matters; the document instructs users not to rely on the Services for such purposes.
