GOOGLE ANALYTICS TERMS OF SERVICE

These Google Analytics Terms of Service (this "Agreement") are entered into by Google Inc. ("Google") and the entity executing this Agreement ("You"). This Agreement governs Your use of the standard Google Analytics (the "Service"). BY CLICKING THE "I ACCEPT" BUTTON, COMPLETING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS, OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE REVIEWED AND ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND ARE AUTHORIZED TO ACT ON BEHALF OF, AND BIND TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OWNER OF THIS ACCOUNT. In consideration of the foregoing, the parties agree as follows:

1. Definitions.
"Account" refers to the billing account for the Service. All Profiles linked to a single Property will have their Hits aggregated before determining the charge for the Service for that Property.

"Confidential Information" includes any proprietary data and any other information disclosed by one party to the other in writing and marked "confidential" or disclosed orally and, within five business days, reduced to writing and marked "confidential". However, Confidential Information will not include any information that is or becomes known to the general public, which is already in the receiving party's possession prior to disclosure by a party or which is independently developed by the receiving party without the use of Confidential Information.

"Customer Data" means the data concerning the characteristics and activities of Visitors that is collected through use of the GATC and then forwarded to the Servers and analyzed by the Processing Software.

"Documentation" means any accompanying documentation made available to You by Google for use with the Processing Software, including any documentation available online.

"GATC" means the Google Analytics Tracking Code, which is installed on a Property for the purpose of collecting Customer Data, together with any fixes, updates and upgrades provided to You.

"Hit" means the base unit that the Google Analytics system processes. A Hit may be a call to the Google Analytics system by various libraries, including, Javascript (ga.js, urchin.js), Silverlight, Flash, and Mobile. A Hit may currently be a page view, a transaction, item, or event. Hits may also be delivered to the Google Analytics system without using one of the various libraries by other Google Analytics-supported protocols and mechanisms the Service makes available to You.

"Processing Software" means the Google Analytics server-side software and any upgrades, which analyzes the Customer Data and generates the Reports.

"Profile" means the collection of settings that together determine the information to be included in, or excluded from, a particular Report. For example, a Profile could be established to view a small portion of a web site as a unique Report. There can be multiple Profiles established under a single Property.

"Property" means a group of web pages or apps that are linked to an Account and use the same GATC. Each Property includes a default Profile that measures all pages within the Property.

"Privacy Policy" means the privacy policy on a Property.

"Report" means the resulting analysis shown at http://www.google.com/analytics for a Profile.

"Servers" means the servers controlled by Google (or its wholly owned subsidiaries) on which the Processing Software and Customer Data are stored.

"Software" means the GATC and the Processing Software.

"Third Party" means any third party (i) to which You provide access to Your Account or (i) for which You use the Service to collect information on the third party's behalf.

"Visitors" means visitors to Your Properties.

The words "include" and "including" mean "including but not limited to."
