Google Ads Terms of Service update: Changes to arbitration clauses for your account


We've updated Google Ads' Terms of Service


Hello,

We've updated Google Ads' Terms of Service, including the paragraphs related to arbitration. This change does not affect your use of Google Workspace, Cloud Identity, or any other Google product.

What's changing?
We encourage you to read through the new Terms and Conditions carefully, which include the following updates:

  • We've modified some language in our arbitration agreement, including giving the arbitrator more flexibility for efficiently resolving issues arising across multiple individual arbitrations

  • Our payment language now includes references to regulatory operating fees or other jurisdiction-specific fees

  • We've clarified the relationship between these terms and the terms of third-party online invoicing products you may use

The new Terms are effective as of today. You can find them on your Preferences page, under "Rules and terms".

If you wish to opt out of arbitration, please follow the instructions in the dispute resolution section of the Terms.

Sincerely,

The Google Ads Team

On January 5, 2022, we're making some changes to our Terms of Service. These changes won't affect the way you use Google services, but they'll make it easier for you to understand what to expect from Google — and what we expect from you — as you use our services.

You can review the new terms here. At a glance, here's what this update means for you:

  • More clarity on what you can expect from Google and what we expect from you: We're providing more examples to describe the mutually respectful conduct that we expect from all our users.
  • Revised warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability: We're including new warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability to reflect industry standards.
  • Increased clarity and certainty in case of problems or disagreements: We changed some of the language in the Taking action in case of problems and Settling disputes, governing law, and courts sections to make it clearer what would happen in those situations.
  • Improved readability: While our terms remain a legal document, we've done our best to make them easier to understand, including reorganizing some topics so that they're easier to find.

If you use Family Link to manage a Google Account for someone else, please take some time to talk to them about these changes.

Thank you for using Google!
