All Queries sent from the Site to Google shall comply with the technical specifications that Google may provide from time to time, and and must originate from the Site. Google will receive Queries from You at Google's network interface, process the Queries using Google's search engine and display search results ("Results") on a Results Page. For purposes of the Terms of Use, "Results Page" is defined as the Google hosted or controlled Web page that contains and displays to an End User the Results from the Service.
The Results displayed by the Service will be determined by some or all of the following: (a) the web sites over which the search is to be restricted or filtered, as provided by You in the Service; (b) labels created by You; or (c) other Service features that Google may make available from time to time as described in the Service documentation, which can be found at https://google-support.mirrorblogs.com/programmable-search/answer/1714300 or other URL that Google may make available from time to time at its sole discretion.

If You continue to use the Code and/or the Search Box on any Site, You will be deemed to have accepted the modifications.
1.3 Your Obligations. You shall receive a Query from the End User and shall forward that Query to Google. You may not in any way frame, cache or modify the Results produced by Google, except as otherwise agreed to between You and Google.

7.1 Term. The term of the Terms of Use (the "Term") shall commence on the date upon which You add Code to Your Site and shall continue in force thereafter, unless terminated as provided herein.

Any amendments or modifications to the Terms of Use must (i) be in writing; (ii) refer to the Terms of Use; and (iii) be executed by an authorized representative of each party. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect a party's right to require performance at any time thereafter; nor will waiver of a breach of any provision constitute a waiver of the provision itself. If any provision is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, invalid or otherwise contrary to law, such provision will be interpreted so as to best accomplish its intended objectives and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. The parties hereto are and will remain independent contractors and nothing herein will be deemed to create any agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between the parties. Neither party will be deemed to be an employee or legal representative of the other nor will either party have any right or authority to create any obligation on behalf of the other party. Neither party will be liable for failing or delaying performance of its obligations (except for the payment of money) resulting from any condition beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to, governmental action, acts of terrorism, earthquake, fire, flood or other acts of God, labor conditions, power failures, and Internet disturbances. The Terms of Use is not intended to benefit, nor will it be deemed to give rise to, any rights in any third party. The Terms of Use will be binding on and inure to the benefit of each of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. THE TERMS OF USE CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. THE TERMS OF USE SUPERSEDE, AND THE TERMS OF THE TERMS OF USE GOVERN, ANY OTHER PRIOR OR COLLATERAL AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF.
