   accessing or using the Google Maps service (together, the "Products" or
   "Services"), or accessing or using any of the content available within
   the Products, you agree to be bound by the following: (1) the [1]Google
   Terms of Service (the "Universal Terms"); (2) the terms found on our
   [2]Legal Notices page (the "Legal Notices"); and (3) the additional

   you continue, you should read each of these three documents, as
   together they form a binding agreement between you and Google regarding
   your use of the Products. Collectively, the Universal Terms, the Legal
   Notices, and the Additional Terms are referred to as the "Terms".
   As a condition of downloading, accessing, or using the Products, you
   also agree to the terms of the [3]Google Privacy Policy.

   exercise judgment in your use of this Content.
   (b) By using the Products, you do not receive any, and Google and/or
   its licensors and users retain all ownership rights in the Content. You
   may not use, access or allow others to use or access the Content in any
   manner not permitted under the Terms, unless you have been specifically
   permitted to do so by Google or by the owner of that Content, in a
   separate agreement.
   (c) Certain Content is provided under [5]license from third parties,
   including but not limited to Tele Atlas B.V. ("Tele Atlas"), and is

   Google servers from time to time to check for available updates to the
   software, such as bug fixes, patches, enhanced functions, missing
   plug-ins and new versions (collectively, "Updates"). By installing the
   Google Earth software, you agree to automatically request and receive
   Updates.
