Devices Terms of Sale

1. Google Services

When you use any Google services through your Device, your use is subject to the applicable terms and conditions for those services, including the Google Terms of Service. Use of certain Device features may require that you open a Google account. Note that Google services and content may vary by region. All features, functionality and other product specifications are subject to change without notice or obligation.

2. Google Payments or Guest Checkout

To place an order, you may use guest checkout or be signed in to your Google account. To use guest checkout, you will need to agree the Google Payments Terms of Service. Do not place an order if you do not agree to these payment terms. You may also need to maintain a Google Payments account to receive some support offered by Google. A Google Payments account is free.

3. Privacy

Please refer to our Google Privacy Policy and the Google Payments Privacy Policy for more information on how Google collects, uses and shares the information we receive from you.

Google may provide information about you to third parties to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.

4. Support

Please refer to Google Store Support to learn more about any support offered by Google in connection with your Device. The Google support team will only provide support if you are located in a supported country with order management or technical support, as described in the Country Availability Page.

5. Ordering and Payment

By providing a credit card or other payment method accepted by Google, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method, and you authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the total amount of your order (including any applicable taxes and other charges detailed at checkout). If the payment method you provide cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your order may be suspended or cancelled. You must resolve any problem we encounter in order to proceed with your order.

Google reserves the right to reject all or part of an order and may refuse to ship Devices to you for reasons such as: (a) if we detect suspicious or fraudulent activity (including unauthorized reseller activity) in violation of these Terms; (b) if you do not live in a country from which Devices may be purchased; or (c) if you order more than the permitted maximum number of Devices.

6. Prices and Taxes

The Device price displayed on the Store does not include any shipping charges. Information about shipping charges will be presented at checkout before you place your order. All prices displayed on the Store are subject to change at any time without notice.

Applicable taxes will be presented at checkout or on the Device description page, and such taxes are estimated and may be subject to change until you are charged.

7. Delivery

We may not be able to deliver to all locations. Please consult our Country Availability for locations to which we will deliver your Device. If Google does not ship a Device to the address you provided, you will be sent a notice and you will not be charged for your order.

If a Device cannot be successfully delivered to you, the Device should be returned to Google. In that case and once Google receives the return shipment, you will not be charged for the Device (or charges already incurred will be reversed using the initial payment method in your Google Payments account), but you may be charged for shipping (and such charges may not be reversed). If a Device is not successfully delivered because we or a delivery agent made a mistake, you will not be charged at all and all charges will be reversed.

If you do not receive your Device, please contact Google Store Support.

If you do not receive your order after Google has made 2 delivery attempts (for example the package has been lost or stolen before you receive it), Google may require a signature confirmation on the delivery and will replace the Device as opposed to issue a refund.

Any delivery dates or times provided by Google (or a delivery agent) are estimates only and are not guaranteed.

8. Availability and Order Limits

All Devices offered on the Store are subject to availability. We reserve the right to discontinue offering certain Devices without prior notice.

Certain products have quantity limits. You may not order more than the maximum number of Devices that we specify on a product page or in a product description. For example, the product description or product page may contain a maximum order limit for a particular Device.

9. Pricing Mistakes

We try very hard to make sure there are no mistakes in the prices that appear on the Google Store. In the unlikely event that a mistake happens, you agree that Google will not be bound by that incorrect price and may cancel your order. If a mistake is discovered and you haven't been charged yet, we will let you know the correct price, and you will be given the option to continue with your order at the correct price or cancel it.

10. Promotions

Google may offer promotions or promotional prices for the sale of Devices. If so, any terms applicable to such promotional offers or prices will govern the offer.

11. Import and Export

The Device may be subject to import and export laws and regulations in the United States and elsewhere. You must comply with all domestic and international import and export laws and regulations that apply in connection with the Device. These laws may include restrictions on destinations, users, and end use.

12. Use of the Device

Please carefully read any instructions that come with the Device, including instructions that may be available online. In order to make use of any enhanced functionality of your Device, you may have to sign in to your Google account or open a Google account if you do not yet have one. Further, you agree to comply with any agreements applicable to your use of the Device or any software on the Device.

13. Gifts

You may only purchase Devices for personal use. You may not resell any Device, but you may give the Device as a gift.

14. Device Technical Specifications

Battery life for your Device, as described in any Device description page, will depend on Device settings, usage, and many other factors. Battery tests are conducted using specific Device units; actual results may vary. Devices with storage capacity may be preformatted with operating system software and other files. As a result, actual formatted capacity will be less than the memory listed in any Device description.

15. Return Policy

You must comply with our Return Policy here if you want to return a Device for a refund.

16. Data and Deactivation

You are responsible for managing any data stored on your Device, including, for example, deleting, transferring and creating back-ups of such data. For example, if you decide to return the Device, or if you have to send a Device to Google for repair or replacement, it is your responsibility to erase all personal or other data on the Device before sending it to Google. Google will not be responsible for any use or disclosure of any data that resides on a Device.

If you tell Google that you have not received your Device, the Device is defective, or it has been lost or stolen, Google may deactivate that Device. Deactivation does not automatically delete personal or other data stored on your Device. We strongly recommend that you back-up your data periodically.

17. Resale and Warranty

The limited warranty in the Device box and in the Warranty section below is only for the benefit of the end user and not resellers.

18. Defects; Warranties; Disclaimer of Warranties

If the Device is or becomes defective through no fault of your own, you may have statutory rights such as repair or replacement of the defective Device, or in some cases, a price reduction, or the right to cancel the contract for a refund.Please always refer to the manufacturer for any manufacturer warranty, as described in the Warranty Center.

If you have a defective Device, please contact Google Store Support.

If the Device is manufactured by a third party, Google may refer you to the applicable manufacturer of the Device for support with Device defects.

If Google provides you with a replacement Device, you agree that Google may exchange the defective Device with a new or refurbished Device. If Google provides you with an advanced replacement device before we receive your defective Device, and you do not return the defective Device within the time communicated to you in notification emails, you authorize Google to charge your original form of payment for the full value of the replacement Device.

Nothing in this section affects your legal rights under statutory or applicable laws. Unless otherwise required under applicable laws, Google may only provide warranty support for Devices manufactured by Google that are located in a supported country, as described in the Country Availability Page.

OTHER THAN THE WARRANTIES REFERRED TO IN THE WARRANTY CENTER, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GOOGLE AND THE DEVICE MANUFACTURERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING ANY DEVICES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

19. Limitation of Liability

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GOOGLE AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, INCLUDING SUPPLIERS (COLLECTIVELY, "GOOGLE PARTIES") SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (WHETHER CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE DEVICE OR THESE TERMS, INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER OR NOT A GOOGLE PARTY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH LOSSES ARISING. YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE GOOGLE PARTIES' TOTAL LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE DEVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO GOOGLE UNDER THESE TERMS.

Some states or countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

20. Device Features Outside of Google’s Control

You acknowledge that unless specifically provided in any Device description page, no Device comes with a cellular data plan, a wireless service plan or other Internet connectivity service. You are solely responsible for obtaining any access to the Internet or wireless service through a cellular data service provider or a wireless service provider (each, a “Wireless Carrier”) or other Internet connectivity service provider ("Internet Service Provider") whose service is compatible with the Device. If your Device includes functionality allowing you to access the Internet via a cellular data plan, the Device may be configured to work with a certain cellular network technology. Check with your preferred Wireless Carrier for compatibility and mobile data plan availability.

If your Device requires a SIM card, or any other mobile connectivity feature required by your Wireless Carrier or Internet Service Provider, you are solely responsible for obtaining such connectivity feature(s). If your Device includes WiFi functionality that allows you to access the Internet, you understand that you will need access to a compatible WiFi access point.

You agree that, unless specifically provided in any Device description page or otherwise agreed by Google, Google has no responsibility for the provision of cellular data services, wireless services or other Internet connectivity services, or the terms under which Wireless Carriers or Internet Service Providers may offer those services. Internet Service Providers and Wireless Carriers may charge you for usage and other fees that Google does not control.

You understand that the Device may only be compatible with certain hardware accessories manufactured by third parties, and Google makes no warranty with respect to such third-party hardware accessories or their compatibility with the Device.

Returning the Device, in accordance with these Terms, does not cancel your service contract with your Internet Service Provider or Wireless Carrier, if applicable, so you must contact your Internet Service Provider or Wireless Carrier (and any other applicable service provider(s)) directly to cancel such service(s).

21. Store Credit and Promotional Balance

Google Store credit (“Store Credit”) including courtesy credits and promotional balances, are valid only for users who are 18 years of age or older, and who are residents of Singapore. Google Store Credit is issued by Google. To redeem a Store Credit, you will need to have or create a Google Payments Account.

The Store Credit cannot be used for recurring subscriptions, but can be used towards the purchase of any other (one off) payment for devices or services available on the Google Store. The Store Credit is not redeemable for cash or other cards, is not refundable, cannot be combined by you with other non-Google Store balances in your Google Payments account, and cannot be resold, exchanged or transferred for value, except as required by law.

If you have insufficient Store Credit to pay for an item, you may use an additional valid form of payment to complete your transaction. The Store Credit will be applied to the purchase amount before any available prepaid credit or other means of payment. Any unused Store Credit will remain in your account. If a purchase amount paid using Store Credit is refunded, the refund amount will be credited back to your Store Credit balance for future use under the same terms. To view your Store Credit balance, visit the Payments Center page.

No fees apply to Store Credit. Where Store Credits expire, the expiration date will be clearly stated and unused Store Credits will expire on the specified date unless extended in accordance with these Terms. Store Credits will be used in the order that they expire. If a refund is given for expired Store Credits, Google may extend the expiration period where permitted by law.

Google is not responsible if Store Credit is stolen or used without your permission. Google will have the right to close your Store Credit account, cancel orders and/or seek alternative forms of payment if you use fraudulently obtained Store Credit to make purchases. If you close your Google Payments account, any unused Store Credits associated with your account will be forfeited.

22. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The courts in some countries will not apply California law to some types of disputes. If you reside in one of those countries, then where California law is excluded from applying, your country’s laws will apply to such disputes related to these Terms. Otherwise, you agree that the laws of California, U.S.A., excluding California’s choice of law rules, will apply to any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms. Similarly, if the courts in your country will not permit you to consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts in Santa Clara County, California, U.S.A., then your local jurisdiction and venue will apply to such disputes related to these Terms. Otherwise, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms will be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of Santa Clara County, California, U.S.A., and you and Google consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. Notwithstanding this, Google reserves the right to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.

23. Changes to the Terms

The Terms in effect at the time you place an order for the Device will apply to such order and Device. Google reserves the right to make changes to these Terms from time to time, and any such changes will apply to future orders.

24. Events Beyond Reasonable Control

Neither party will be responsible for any delay or failure to comply with these Terms if the delay or failure arises from any cause which is beyond its reasonable control.

25. No Waiver

If you do not comply with these Terms, and we don't take action right away, this doesn't mean that we are giving up any rights that we may have (such as taking action in the future).

26. Severability

If it turns out that a particular term is not enforceable, this will not affect any other terms.
