Starter Tier Additional Terms of Service
*These terms apply to ST Offerings only and do not apply to any Google Cloud Platform services. Starter Tier resources are not Google Cloud Platform services and are not controlled by the Google Cloud Terms of Service. *
To use the Starter Tier services described at https://docs.cloud.google.com/docs/starter-tier#supported-products (“ST Offerings”), you must accept (1) the Google Terms of Service, (“Google ToS”) and (2) these Starter Tier Additional Terms of Service (the “ST Additional Terms”). Terms that are not defined in these ST Additional Terms have the meanings given to them in the Google ToS.
Please read these ST Additional Terms, the Google Terms of Service, and the linked documents incorporated herein carefully. Together, these documents are known as the “Terms”. They establish what you can expect from us as you use ST Offerings, and what we expect from you. If you are using the ST Offerings on behalf of an organization, you will need to have an authorized representative of that organization agree to the Terms, as described in the “Using Google services” section of the Google ToS.
1. Services
You may use the ST Offerings, and may integrate the ST Offerings into any Customer Application that has material value independent of the ST Offerings, all in accordance with these Terms.
2. Your Relationship with Google
You’re contracting for the ST Offerings with the entity identified at https://cloud.google.com/terms/google-entity (“Google Contracting Entity Page”), and when these ST Additional Terms, Google’s Privacy Policy, or the Google Data Processing Addendum (the “DPA”) refer to "Google," "we," "us," or "our", in relation to your use of the ST Offerings, they mean that contracting entity at the Google Contracting Entity Page (even if the Google ToS or Privacy Policy says otherwise).
The ST Offerings are provided to you by your Google contracting entity.
3. Your End Users
3.1. You will require your End Users to comply with (and not knowingly enable them to violate) applicable law, regulation, and the Terms.
4. Limitations
4.1. Business Purpose. You agree that your use of the ST Offerings is for trade, business, craft or professional purposes only.
4.2. Age Requirements. You must be 18 years of age or older to use the ST Offerings.
4.3. Starter Tier.
(a) ST Offerings may provide a limited subset of the functionality and quotas available in Google Cloud services, but ST Offerings are not Google Cloud services and, as such, are not subject to the Google Cloud Terms of Service or accessible or managed by any organization (e.g. your employer) that might have separately engaged Google to provide Google Cloud services.
(b) ST Offerings may also be subject to their own, Service-specific rights and restrictions as further described in the Documentation for each specific ST Offering (“Starter Tier Service Specific Terms”). Those Starter Tier Service Specific Terms are incorporated by references into these Terms.
4.4. Additional Restrictions. In addition to the restrictions included in the Google ToS, you will not, and won’t let your End Users:
(a) copy, modify, or create derivative work of the ST Offerings; or
(b) access or use the ST Offerings (i) for High Risk Activities; (ii) in violation of the AUP, (iii) in a manner intended to circumvent usage limits or quotas; (iv) to engage in cryptocurrency mining; (v) to operate or enable any telecommunications service or in connection with any Customer Application that allows End Users to place calls or to receive calls from any public switched telephone network; (vi) for materials or activities that are subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) maintained by the United States Department of State; (vii) in a manner that breaches, or causes the breach of, Export Control Laws; or (viii) to transmit, store, or process health information subject to United States Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations except as permitted by an executed HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA).
