ANDROID SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT
LICENSE AGREEMENT

1.  	Introduction

1.1	The Android Software Development Kit (referred to in this License Agreement as the "SDK" and 
specifically including the Android system files and packaged APIs) is licensed to you subject to the terms 
of this License Agreement.  This License Agreement forms a legally binding contract between you and 
Google in relation to your use of the SDK.

1.2	"Google" means Google Inc., a Delaware corporation with principal place of business at 1600 
Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. 

1.3	This version of the Android SDK is being offered to the developer community on an "Early Look" basis.  
With the help and input of the developer community, Google will continue to add new functionality and 
features to continually improve the SDK.  Once the SDK reaches a more finished form, Google intends to 
release most of the components under the Apache v2.0 open source license.

2.	Accepting this License Agreement

2.1	In order to use the SDK, you must first agree to this License Agreement.  You may not use the SDK if you 
do not accept this License Agreement.

2.2	You can accept this License Agreement by:

        (A) clicking to accept or agree to this License Agreement, where this option is made available to you; 
or

        (B) by actually using the SDK.  In this case, you agree that use of the SDK constitutes acceptance of 
the Licensing Agreement from that point onwards.

2.3	You may not use the SDK and may not accept the Licensing Agreement if you are a person barred from 
receiving the SDK under the laws of the United States or other countries including the country in which 
you are resident or from which you use the SDK.

represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind your employer or such entity to this License 
Agreement.  If you do not have the requisite authority, you may not accept the Licensing Agreement or use 
the SDK on behalf of your employer or other entity.

3.	SDK License from Google

3.1	Subject to the terms of this License Agreement, Google grants you a limited, worldwide, royalty-free, non-
assignable and non-exclusive license to use the SDK solely to develop applications to run on the Android 
platform.  

3.2	You agree that Google or third parties own all legal right, title and interest in and to the SDK, including any

purposes), modify, adapt, redistribute, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or create derivative works 
of the SDK or any part of the SDK.  Except to the extent required by applicable third party licenses, you 
may not load any part of the SDK onto a mobile handset or any other hardware device except a personal 
computer, combine any part of the SDK with other software, or distribute any software or device 
incorporating a part of the SDK.  

3.4	Use, reproduction and distribution of components of the SDK licensed under an open source software 
license are governed solely by the terms of that open source software license and not this License 
Agreement.

3.5	You agree that the form and nature of the SDK that Google provides may change without prior notice to 
you and that future versions of the SDK may be incompatible with applications developed on previous 
versions of the SDK.  You agree that Google may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the SDK (or 
any features within the SDK) to you or to users generally at Google's sole discretion, without prior notice

property rights which subsist in those applications. 

4.2	You agree to use the SDK and write applications only for purposes that are permitted by (a) this License

relevant jurisdictions (including any laws regarding the export of data or software to and from the United 
States or other relevant countries).

privacy and legal rights of those users.  If the users provide you with user names, passwords, or other login 
information or personal information, your must make the users aware that the information will be available 
to your application, and you must provide legally adequate privacy notice and protection for those users.  If 
your application stores personal or sensitive information provided by users, it must do so securely.  If the 
user provides your application with Google Account information, your application may only use that 
information to access the user's Google Account when, and for the limited purposes for which, the user has 
given you permission to do so.

4.4	You agree that you will not engage in any activity with the SDK, including the development or distribution 
of an application, that interferes with, disrupts, damages, or accesses in an unauthorized manner the servers, 
networks, or other properties or services of any third party including, but not limited to, Google or any 
mobile communications carrier.

4.5	You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Google has no responsibility to you or to any third 
party for) any data, content, or resources that you create, transmit or display through the Android platform 
and/or applications for the Android platform, and for the consequences of your actions (including any loss 
or damage which Google may suffer) by doing so.

4.6	You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Google has no responsibility to you or to any third 
party for) any breach of your obligations under this License Agreement, any applicable third party contract 
or Terms of Service, or any applicable law or regulation, and for the consequences (including any loss or 
damage which Google or any third party may suffer) of any such breach.

software including but not limited to a unique identifier, associated IP address, version number of the 
software, and information on which tools and/or services in the SDK are being used and how they are being 
used.  Before any of this information is collected, the SDK will notify you and seek your consent.  If you 
withhold consent, the information will not be collected.  

6.2	The data collected is examined in the aggregate to improve the SDK and is maintained in accordance with 
Google's Privacy Policy.

not liable for any loss or damage that you may experience as a result of the use or access of any of those 
third party applications, data, content, or resources.

application may be protected by intellectual property rights which are owned by the providers (or by other

derivative works based on these data, content, or resources (either in whole or in part) unless you have been 
specifically given permission to do so by the relevant owners.	

7.3	You acknowledge that your use of such third party applications, data, content, or resources may be subject 
to separate terms between you and the relevant third party.  In that case, this License Agreement does not 
affect your legal relationship with these third parties.
