 1. Introduction 

 The Web Store is a publicly available site on which Developers can publish Products for distribution and use in connection with Google Chrome. In order to publish Products on the Web Store, you must acquire and maintain a valid Google account.

 2. Accepting this Agreement 

-2.1 Your use of the Web Store to distribute Products is governed by a legal agreement between you and Google consisting of the Google Terms of Service (found at https://policies.google.com/terms), Google Chrome and Chrome OS Additional Terms of Service (found at http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_text.html) and this Google Chrome Web Store Developer Agreement (together, the "Agreement"). In order to use the Web Store to distribute Products, you may agree to this Agreement by clicking to accept where this option is made available to you or continuing to use the Web Store to distribute Products in accordance with section 14. You may not publish Products on the Web Store if you do not accept this Agreement.

You are contracting with the applicable Google entity based on where You reside. In order to use the Web Store to distribute Products, you must agree to this Agreement by clicking to accept where this option is made available to you or continuing to use the Web Store to distribute Products in accordance with section 14, and pay a one-time registration fee, in an amount determined in Google's sole discretion (the "Registration Fee"). You may not publish Products on the Web Store if you do not accept this Agreement and pay the Registration Fee.

 2.2 You may not use the Web Store and may not enter into this Agreement if you are (a) not of legal age to form a binding contract with Google, or (b) a person or entity barred from using Google Chrome software under the laws of the United States or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the Google Chrome software.

 3. Pricing and Payments 

-3.1 This Agreement covers both Products you choose to distribute for free and Products for which you charge a fee.
-
-In order to charge a fee for your Products using the Web Store payment processing services, you must have a valid Payment Account under a separate agreement with a Payment Processor. If you already have a Payment Account with a Payment Processor before signing up for the Web Store, then the terms of this Agreement shall supersede your Payment Account terms and condition for Products sold via the Web Store.
-
-You may set the price for your Products in the currencies permitted by the Payment Processor. The Web Store may display to users the price of Products in their native currency, but it is not responsible for the accuracy of currency rates or conversion
-
-The price you set for Products will determine the amount of payment you will receive. A Transaction Fee, as defined below, will be charged on the sales price and apportioned to the Payment Processor. The remainder (sales price less Transaction Fee) will be remitted to you. The "Transaction Fee" is set forth at http://developers.google.com/chrome/web-store/docs/#builtin and may be revised by Google from time to time. Developer is responsible for determining if a Product is taxable and the applicable tax rate for the Payment Processor to collect for each taxing jurisdiction where Products are sold. Developer is responsible for remitting taxes to the appropriate taxing authority.
+3.1 You are responsible for any Taxes and must pay the Registration Fee without any reduction for Taxes.

-3.2 If you charge a fee for your Product without using the Payment Processor and the Web Store payment processing Services, then you will not be charged a Transaction Fee, and you assume sole responsibility and liability for all related transactions and authentications, records, and taxes. Google will have no obligations with respect to such Products, including without limitation obligations to track and process payments, authenticate paid or previously paid downloads, maintain payment records, or pay, report, or charge taxes.

Google will have no obligations with respect to such Products, including without limitation obligations to track and process payments, authenticate paid or previously paid downloads, maintain payment records, or pay, report, or charge taxes.

 3.3 You may also choose to distribute Products for free. If the Product is free, you will not be charged a Transaction Fee. You may not collect future charges from users for copies of the Products that those users were initially allowed to download for free. This is not intended to prevent distribution of free trial versions of the Product with an "upsell" option to obtain the full version of the Product: Such free trials for Products are encouraged. In this Agreement, "free" means there are no charges or fees of any kind for use of the Product.

-3.4 Special Refund Requirements. If you use the Payment Processor, the Payment Processor's standard terms and conditions regarding refunds will apply except the following terms apply to your distribution of Products on the Web Store.
-
-Products that can be previewed by the buyer (such as themes): No refund is required or allowed.
-
-Products that cannot be previewed by the buyer (such as applications): You authorize Google to give the buyer a full refund of the Product price if the buyer requests the refund within 30 minutes after purchase.
-
-3.5 You Support Your Product. You agree to supply and maintain valid and accurate contact information that will be displayed in each product detail page on the Store and made available to users for customer support and legal purposes. For paid Products or in-app transactions, you must respond to customer support inquiries within three (3) business days, and within 24 hours to any support or Product concerns stated to be urgent by Google.

 Failure to provide adequate support for your Products may result in low Product ratings, less prominent product exposure, or in some cases removal from the Web Store, such as if the extension no longer functions as described.

-Except in cases when multiple disputes are initiated by a user with abnormal dispute history, billing disputes received by Payment Processor for Products sold for less than $10 may be automatically charged back to the Developer, in addition to any handling fees charged by the Payment Processor. Chargeback requests for Products $10 or more will be handled in accordance with the Payment Processor's standard policy.

-3.6 Reinstalls. Users are allowed unlimited reinstalls of each application distributed via the Web Store, provided however that if you remove a Product(s) from the Web Store pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 7.1, such Product(s) shall be removed from all portions of the Web Store and users shall no longer have a right or ability to reinstall the affected Products. If you charge a fee for your Product without using the Payment Processor, then you are solely responsible for maintaining records of users who have previously paid for your Products, and Google will not be responsible for determining whether users attempting to reinstall your Products have previously paid for such Products.

-7.1 Your Takedowns. You may remove your Products from future distribution via the Web Store at any time, but you must comply with this Agreement (and with the Payment Processor's Payment Account terms of service if you use the Payment Processor) for any Products distributed through the Web Store, including but not limited to refund requirements. Removing your Products from future distribution via the Web Store does not (a) affect the license rights of users who have previously purchased or downloaded your Products, (b) remove your Products from user machines, hardware, or other devices, or from any part of the Web Store where previously downloaded applications are stored on behalf of users, or (c) change your obligation to deliver or support Products or services that have been previously purchased or downloaded by users. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will Google maintain on any portion of the Web Store (including, without limitation, the part of the Web Store where previously purchased or downloaded applications are stored on behalf of users) any Product that you have removed from the Web Store and provided written notice to Google that such removal was due to (i) an allegation of infringement, or actual infringement, of any copyright, trademark, trade secret, trade dress, patent or other intellectual property right of any person, (ii) an allegation of defamation or actual defamation, (iii) an allegation of violation, or actual violation, of any third party's right of publicity or privacy, or (iv) an allegation or determination that such Product does not comply with applicable law.

-If you remove a Product from the Web Store pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 7.1, and an end user purchased such Product within a year before the date of takedown, at Google's request, you must refund to the affected end user all amounts paid by such end user for such affected Product, less the portion of the Transaction Fee specifically allocated to the credit card/payment processing for the associated transaction.

 7.2 Google Review and Takedowns. While Google is not obligated to monitor the Products or their content, Google may at any time review or test your Products and their source code for compliance with this Agreement, the Google Chrome Web Store Program Policies, and any other applicable terms, obligations, laws, or regulations, and may use automated means to conduct such review. Google retains the right to refuse to include a Product on the Web Store. You may be required to provide information about yourself (such as identification or contact details) as part of the registration process for the Web Store, or as part of your continued use of the Services. You agree that any information you give to Google will always be accurate, correct and up to date. As part of the specification for your Product, Google may ask that you include in the file for your Product information such as your name and email address. Google may use this information when featuring the Product in our directory or for other uses. If Google is notified by you or otherwise becomes aware and determines that a Product or any portion thereof or your Brand Features; (a) violates the intellectual property rights or any other rights of any third party; (b) violates any applicable law or is subject to an injunction; (c) is pornographic, obscene or otherwise violates Google's hosting policies or other terms of service as may be updated by Google from time to time; (d) is being published or distributed by you improperly; (e) may create liability for Google or any third party; (f) is deemed by Google to have a virus or is deemed to be malware, spyware or have an adverse impact on Google's or a third party's network; (g) violates the terms of this Agreement or the Google Chrome Web Store Program Policies; or (h) the display of the Product is impacting the integrity of Google servers (i.e., users are unable to access such content or otherwise experience difficulty), Google may prevent the Product from being made available in the Web Store, remove the Product from the Web Store, remotely disable or remove the Product from user systems or devices, or flag, filter, modify related materials (including but not limited to descriptions, screenshots, or metadata), or reclassify the Product. If you have any questions or concerns regarding a removal, you may contact us at http://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-apps/. Google reserves the right to suspend or bar any Product from the Web Store.

-In the event that your Product is involuntarily removed because it is defective, malicious, infringes intellectual property rights of another person, defames, violates a third party's right of publicity or privacy, or does not comply with applicable law, and an end user purchased such Product within a year before the date of takedown: (i) you must refund to Google, all amounts received, plus any associated fees (i.e. chargebacks and payment transaction fees), and (ii) Google may withhold from your future sales the amount in subsection (i) above.
-
 7.3 From time to time, Google Chrome may check for available updates to Products, including but not limited to bug fixes or enhanced functionality. If you upload an update for your Product to the Web Store, you agree that such update will be automatically requested, downloaded, and installed without further notice to you. Google makes no guarantees regarding the timing of such updates. For the avoidance of doubt, updates to Products are subject to the same terms and conditions as the Products, including without limitation Section 7.2 of this Agreement (Google Review and Takedowns).

 7.4 If you are a business user based in the EU or the UK, you may also apply to resolve a dispute under this Agreement with mediation, find more details about the mediators we're willing to engage with and instructions about how to request mediation here. Except as required by applicable law, mediation is voluntary and neither you nor Google are obliged to settle disputes through mediation.

These policies have the same meaning as in the Google Chrome Web Store Developer Agreement. There are additional quality guidelines that apply to Chrome Apps and Chrome Extensions. Be sure to check back from time to time, as these policies may change.

-Content Policies
+Content policies

 Our content policies apply to your Product's content, including any ads it shows to users and any user-generated content it hosts or links to. Further, they apply to any content from your developer account that is publicly displayed in Chrome Web Store, including your developer name and the landing page of your listed developer website. Products that include content that may not be suitable for all ages should be marked "Mature" on the Developer Dashboard.

-Sexually Explicit Material:
+#
+Sexually explicit material

 We don't allow content that contains nudity, graphic sex acts, sexually explicit material, or content that drives traffic to commercial pornography sites. We also don't allow content that promotes incest, bestiality, necrophilia, or non-consensual sexual acts. Google has a zero-tolerance policy against child pornography. If we become aware of content with child pornography, we will report it to the appropriate authorities and delete the Google Accounts of those involved with the distribution. Content which contains non-sexual nudity - such as artistic, educational, scientific, or cultural nudity - is generally allowed, but may impact the visibility of your Product.

-Violent or Bullying Behavior:
+#
+Violent or bullying behavior

 Depictions of gratuitous violence are not allowed. Products should not contain materials that threaten, harass, or bully other users. For example, Products should not contain:

 Content which makes a specific threat of serious harm against an individual person or a defined group of people.
 Content whose predominant purpose is to single out another person for abuse, malicious attack, or ridicule. Content that results in the unwanted sexualization of a person, including malicious claims about a person's sexual activities, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
 A series of posts/comments/photos that, taken together, clearly have the primary intention of harassment, even if each individual piece of content is not severe.

 We don't allow content advocating against or inciting hatred towards groups of people based on their race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or any other characteristic that is associated with systematic discrimination or marginalization.

 Additionally, the visibility of your Product may be impacted if it contains generally hateful content not covered by the above definition.

+Violent extremism

 We remove content that recruits, fundraises, or promotes violence on behalf of extremist groups defined by the US State Department and other international organizations.

+Additional requirements for Manifest V3

 Extensions using Manifest V3 must meet additional requirements related to the extension's code. Specifically, the full functionality of an extension must be easily discernible from its submitted code. This means that the logic of how each extension operates should be self contained. The extension may reference and load data and other information sources that are external to the extension, but these external resources must not contain any logic.

 Some common violations include:

 Including a <script> tag that points to a resource that is not within the extension's package
-
 Using JavaScript's eval() method or other mechanisms to execute a string fetched from a remote source
-
 Building an interpreter to run complex commands fetched from a remote source, even if those commands are fetched as data

 Communicating with remote servers for certain purposes is still allowed. For instance,

 Syncing user account data with a remote server
-
 Fetching a remote configuration file for A/B testing or determining enabled features, where all logic for the functionality is contained within the extension package
-
 Fetching remote resources that are not used to evaluate logic, such as images
-
 Performing server-side operations with data (such as for the purposes of encryption with a private key)

 If our reviewers are unable to determine the full functionality of your extension during the review process, we may reject your submission or remove it from the store.

 4.3 You agree that if you use the Web Store to distribute Products, you will protect the privacy and legal rights of users. If the users provide you with, or your Product accesses or uses, user names, passwords, or other login information or personal information, you must make the users aware that the information will be available to your Product, and you must provide legally adequate privacy notice and protection for those users. Further, your Product may only use that information for the limited purposes for which the user has given you permission to do so. If your Product stores personal or sensitive information provided by users, it must do so securely and only for as long as it is needed. But if the user has opted into a separate agreement with you that allows you or your Product to store or use personal or sensitive information directly related to your Product (not including other products or applications) then the terms of that separate agreement will govern your use of such information. If the user provides your Product with Google Account information, your Product 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. If your Product (or any part thereof) targets or directs itself to users under the age of consent, you must ensure that such Product (or any part thereof) is compliant with applicable laws or regulations at all times (including as applicable, the U.S. Children's Online Privacy (COPPA) and E.U.
