Thank you for using the Interpreter Mode API and related provisioning tool
(the "Interpreter Mode API").
- Applicable Terms.
- Interpreter Mode Terms. By accessing or using the Interpreter
Mode API, you are agreeing to the Google APIs Terms of Service at
https://developers.google.com/terms
(or such other URL as Google may provide) and these Interpreter Mode API
Additional Terms (the "Interpreter Mode Additional
Terms"). The Google APIs Terms of Service and Interpreter Mode
Additional Terms are referred to together as the
"Terms".
- Other Terms. If at any time your services use other Google
products or services ("Other Google Product(s)"), then
the terms for those Other Google Product(s) will also apply. For example,
if your Interpreter Mode API-configured device is a Google Nest Hub,
the Google Terms of Service at
https://policies.google.com/terms
(or such other URL as Google may provide) apply in addition to these
Terms. The use of third-party products or services is subject to their
applicable terms.
- Order of Precedence. To the extent there are any conflicts, the
following order of precedence applies:
- Other Google Product(s)' terms of service:
- other agreements between the parties covering the same
subject;
- any developer documentation, instructions, or policies related to
the Interpreter Mode API ("Interpreter Mode Policies and
Documentation") as Google may provide from time to time,
including at
https://developers.google.com/home/smart-device-management
- all other Interpreter Mode Additional Terms; and
- Google APIs Terms of Service.
- Authorization. You represent and warrant that you are the
owner for the place of business or premises where Interpreter Mode
API-configured devices ("Interpreter Mode Devices") are
being deployed (or have been authorized by such owner to deploy such
Interpreter Mode Devices), and agree to be bound by the Terms.
- Compliance with Policies and Documentation. You must
comply at all times with the Interpreter Mode Policies and Documentation (if
any), including:
- only using approved Interpreter Mode Devices;
- only configuring approved Interpreter Mode Devices as outlined in any
Interpreter Mode Policies and Documentation made available to you;
and
- only using approved Interpreter Mode Devices for uses and locations
permitted in the Interpreter Mode Policies and Documentation, or
otherwise approved by Google.
- Testing and Approval. Google may require you to submit
your API client implementation to Google for approval prior to you making
your Interpreter Mode Device publicly available. Any material updates may
also be required to be submitted to Google for approval prior to public
use.
- Security and Audit. Google reserves the right to
investigate your API client implementation for compliance with the
Terms.
- Interpreter Mode Devices.
- You or your personnel must end the Interpreter Mode Device's
translation session and use of the Interpreter Mode Device if a user
indicates they do not want to use the Interpreter Mode Device.
- You or your personnel must place Interpreter Mode Devices prominently
in front of users (with screen or LED lights facing the user), and must
not obstruct view of the Interpreter Mode Device, including LED
lights.
- At Google's request, or if required in the Interpreter Mode Policies
or Documentation, you will ensure that Devices are accompanied by a
prominently-displayed physical fixture such as a physical sticker and/or
attached card indicating, among other things, that usage of the Device
is subject to the Google Terms of Service
(https://policies.google.com/terms)
and Privacy Policy
(https://policies.google.com/privacy).
The form and placement of such notice must be approved by Google, and
Google reserves the right to make changes to the notice at any time for
any reason, including to define the product experience and/or attract
attention to the device.
- You or your personnel must be one of the participants in any
translation conversation.
- Devices must not be used for any medical, health, or life-threatening
situation (for example, translating allergens or medications is
prohibited).
- Devices must not be placed at any location where they are likely to be
exposed to Protected Health Information (as defined under the U.S.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as amended).
- Device Images. You represent and warrant that you have
the right to use any images uploaded through the Interpreter Mode API for
display on the Interpreter Mode Device. Google may sometimes review such
images to determine whether it is infringing (or otherwise illegal) or
violates Google's policies or Terms, and Google may refuse to display such
images.
