Firebase Extensions Publisher Terms of Service

Terms last modified: April 21, 2023

The Firebase Extensions Ecosystem provides a catalog of Extensions from Firebase and third-party providers, enabling application developers to discover, implement, and configure pre-packaged solutions to quickly deploy functionality and automate tasks for their app.

These Firebase Extensions Publisher Terms of Service ("Agreement") are entered into by Google and you ("You" or "Your"), on behalf of yourself and the organization You represent. BY CHECKING THE "I ACCEPT THE FIREBASE EXTENSIONS PUBLISHER TERMS" BOX, OR OTHERWISE ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT (I) YOU HAVE REVIEWED AND ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, AND (II) ARE AUTHORIZED TO ACT ON BEHALF OF, AND BIND TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ORGANIZATION YOU REPRESENT AND THE PUBLISHER. This Agreement applies to You and the entity that owns an Extension(s) which Google has displayed and made available in the Extensions Ecosystem ("Publisher") and is effective as of the date You accept the Agreement (the "Effective Date").

  1. Provision of Extensions.

    1. Listing Requirements. When Publisher uploads an Extension to a Publisher Project, Google may, on Publisher’s behalf, display and make available Publisher’s Extension in the Extensions Registry. If Publisher complies with the terms of Section 1(a)(ii), below, Publisher’s Extension may also be made available on the Extensions Hub.
      1. Extensions Registry
        1. "Extensions Registry" means the registry, created and managed by Google, that hosts the Extension. Extensions made available in the Extensions Registry are installable via shareable install link and are discoverable via the Extensions registry API but not in the Firebase Command Line Interface (CLI) or Extensions Hub unless accepted for publication in accordance with Section 1(a)(ii).
        2. In order for Publisher’s Extension to be made available on the Extensions Registry, Publisher must: (a) create a Publisher Project and add the Extension; (b) accept and fully comply with the terms of this Agreement; and (c) provide complete and accurate information to Google as requested by Google, including providing any Open Source Materials information in accordance with Section 8(f) (Third Party Materials and Open Source).
      2. Extensions Hub
        1. "Extensions Hub" means online properties, websites, interfaces, and mobile applications owned, operated, and/or controlled by Google and its Affiliates that allow Users to discover and install Extensions that have been accepted for publication in accordance with Section 1(a)(ii), including without limitation, the extensions.dev website, an Admin Console, or the firebase.google.com website. Extensions made available on the Extensions Hub are discoverable and installable via Extensions Registry and the locations identified herein.
        2. In order for Publisher’s Extension to be made available on the Extensions Hub, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 1(a)(i)(2) above, Publisher must: (a) submit a request to Google to publish the Extension; and (b) satisfy the following requirements: (i) maintain a public GitHub repository for the Extension; (ii) allow Google to conduct a security and quality review to assess the security and reliability of the Extension ("Security and Quality Review"); and (ii) and satisfy the requirements of Security and Quality Review.
        3. Google may, but is not obligated to, accept Publisher’s request to make the Extension available on the Extensions Hub in our sole discretion. Google will use reasonable efforts to timely review and respond to Publisher’s request. Publisher acknowledges and agrees that Google may contact Publisher via the Notification Email Address as part of the Security and Quality Review process.
  2. License Requirements.

    1. Publisher will ensure that the Extension is released under the Apache 2.0 open source license;
    2. Publisher will comply with the requirements set forth in Section 8(f) (Third Party Materials and Open Source); and
    3. Publisher is solely responsible for effecting any agreements that govern a User's use of Extensions. This Agreement does not facilitate any agreement between Publisher and the User.
  3. Marketing and Brand Features.

    1. The parties may use the other party’s Brand Features in marketing materials in connection with Extensions and the Extensions Ecosystem, as follows:
      1. General
        1. "Brand Features" means the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features of each party, respectively, as owned (or licensed) by such party from time to time.
        2. Brand Features Ownership. Google and Publisher each owns all right, title and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in its own Brand Features. Except as expressly provided in this Section 3 (Marketing and Brand Features) (i) neither party grants any right, title or interest in any Brand Features of the other party; and (ii) nothing in this Agreement gives Publisher a right to use any of Google's Brand Features. Any use of a party’s Brand Features will inure to the benefit of the party holding Intellectual Property Rights to those Brand Features.
      2. Publisher Rights
        1. Firebase Brand Features. Publisher may state publicly that Publisher has an Extension available on the Extensions Hub and display "Firebase" Brand Features in accordance with the Google’s brand terms and conditions available at https://firebase.google.com/brand-guidelines (or such URL to be provided by Google) and any additional instructions Google may provide to you from time to time.
        2. Extensions Ecosystem Brand Features. Google grants to Publisher a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the Extensions Ecosystem Brand Features for the Term of this Agreement solely for marketing purposes specifically related to the Extensions Ecosystem with the prior approval of Google and in accordance with Google’s trademark guidelines located at https://about.google/brand-resource-center/brand-elements/.
        3. Google may revoke Publisher’s right to use its Brand Features with 30 days’ written notice.
      3. Google Rights.
        1. Publisher grants to Google and its Affiliates a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use and display Publisher Brand Features (a) in connection with the marketing and distribution of the Extension, including by including Publisher’s name or Brand Features in online or in promotional materials and verbally referencing Publisher as a provider of the Extensions, or (b) as otherwise necessary to exercise Google’s or its Affiliates’ rights under this Agreement. If an Extension is removed from the Extensions Ecosystem, Google and its Affiliates will stop using the Brand Features associated solely with the discontinued Extensions, except as necessary to allow Google to effectuate the Wind Down Period.
  4. Support for Extensions.

    1. Publisher Support of Users. Publisher will provide and maintain complete and up to date information as requested by Google. Such information, including Publisher contact information, may be made available to Users and potential Users. Users will be instructed to contact Publisher concerning any defects or performance issues related to the Extension. Publisher will be solely responsible for, and Google will have no responsibility for, handling support and maintenance of the Extension or any complaints about the Extension. Publisher’s response to User support inquiries should be no less urgent, inclusive or responsive than the response Publisher offers or provides to similarly situated Users. Google may direct Users to Publisher to complete setup of the Extension.
    2. Extension Updates and Patches.
      1. Publisher will update, or will provide Google with updates to, all Extensions within 24 hours of release of such updates to the public, if those updates include critical security patches, as determined by Google. In cases where an update to the Extension is necessary for it to continue working (due to changes in underlying services), Publisher will update or provide Google with an update at least 30 days prior to the date that the Extension would cease functioning without the update.
      2. If Google requests a critical security matter be patched, Publisher will respond to Google within 24 hours of such request with (i) either a resolution or a written resolution plan, (ii) contact information for person(s) managing the resolution, and (iii) the estimated time for delivery of a resolution. Google may choose to hide or prohibit access to the Extension until Publisher provides a security patch determined necessary by Google.
      3. Failure to provide the information, support, or updates for Extensions described in this Section 4(b) (Extensions Updates and Patches) may result in consequences including, less prominent exposure or placement in the Extensions Hub, wholesale removal of the Extension from the Extensions Ecosystem, or Google’s termination of this Agreement, in Google’s sole discretion.
  5. Publisher Responsibilities.

    1. Authorized Purpose. Publisher will comply with all applicable laws and regulations (including any laws regarding the export of data or software to and from the United States or other relevant countries) in its performance under this Agreement.
    2. Prohibited Actions. Publisher will not engage in any activity that interferes with, disrupts, damages, or accesses in an unauthorized manner the devices, servers, networks, or other properties or services of Google, Google’s Affiliates, or any third party.
    3. Publisher Responsibility for Extensions. Publisher is solely responsible for (and Google has no responsibility to Publisher or any third party for) (a) the Extension; or (b) the consequences of Publisher actions (including any loss or damage which Google, a User, or any third-party may suffer) related to the Extension.
    4. Deprecation.
      1. For purposes of this Section, deprecate or deprecation means Publisher’s marking of an Extension for deprecation through the Admin Console or Firebase CLI. By deprecating an Extension, Publisher’s Extension may remain hosted in the Extensions Ecosystem but may no longer be discoverable by new Users in the Extensions Hub.
      2. Publisher will immediately deprecate the applicable version of the Extension under the following scenarios:
        1. Where Publisher implements a critical update or security patch pursuant to Section 4(b), in which case Publisher will immediately deprecate any previous versions of the Extension;
        2. Where Publisher no longer supports the applicable Extension;
        3. Where the Extension contains a bug that renders such Extension unusable or unstable;
        4. Where the Extension contains a critical vulnerability that impacts the security or usability of the Extension; and
        5. Where Publisher inadvertently made available the incorrect version or release of the Extension.
    5. Publisher Responsibility for Breach. Publisher is solely responsible for (and Google has no responsibility to Publisher or any third party for) any breach by Publisher of its obligations under this Agreement, any applicable third party contract or terms of service between Publisher and User(s), or any applicable law or regulation, and for the consequences of any such breach, including any loss or damage which Google or any third party may suffer.
    6. Extension Display. Google may use and publish any performance measurements for Extensions, including install or uninstall rates. Google may display Extensions to Users in a manner solely determined by Google.
    7. Extension Information. Subject to Section 3 (Marketing and Brand Features), Publisher is responsible for providing Google with all information and materials necessary to market the Extensions, including accurate and complete Extension information and support information for Users. Google may immediately hide, prohibit access to, or remove any Extensions if Publisher fails to comply with this Section 5(g) (Extension Information).
    8. Restricted Content and Extensions Ecosystem Use. Publisher will comply with all procedures and policies applicable to Extensions provided by Google, including the Acceptable Use Policy at https://firebase.google.com/terms/extensions/acceptable-use-policy (as such link may be updated from time to time).
    9. Public Storage. Publisher understands that extensions added to the Extensions Ecosystem may be available from a public location, and as such, a third party who is not a User may be able to access, including download, and use such Extension. Publisher acknowledges that Google and its Affiliates are not responsible for any access, including download, or use of the Extension by such third party.
  6. Security and Privacy.

    1. Protections. Publisher will protect the privacy and other legal rights of Users. Publisher will only gather information (User account information) from Users that is necessary to provide Extensions to them and only use gathered information when and for the limited purpose(s) for which the User has given Publisher permission to do so. If Users provide Publisher or a Extension with, or Publisher or a Extension accesses or uses, user names, passwords, or other login information or personal information, Publisher must inform Users that the information will be available to Publisher or Extension, and Publisher must provide a legally adequate privacy notice and protection for those Users, provided that if a User has entered into a separate agreement with Publisher that allows Publisher or Extension to store or use User personal or sensitive information then, to the extent the terms of that separate agreement are consistent with the terms in this Agreement, nothing in this Section prohibits such separate agreement terms from governing Publisher’s use of such information as well.
    2. Compliance & Assistance. Publisher will handle and store any information obtained from User only for as long as it is needed, applying reasonable care to adhere to reasonable security and privacy policies (but, in no event, (a) with less care than (i) Publisher uses in handling any other customer information or (ii) Publisher states in its own privacy policy, which policy must be presented to and agreed upon by User before Publisher accesses the information). Publisher will follow all instructions that are reasonably necessary to satisfy applicable laws and regulations regarding use of or access to User information. If an unauthorized disclosure or other breach of any User information occurs, Publisher will use all reasonable efforts to assist Google in investigating and provide necessary information and documentation related to (a) Publisher’s compliance with this Section 6 (Security and Privacy) and (b) any other circumstances related to the breach.
    3. No Access to Personal Information. Neither party shall provide the other party with access to Personal Information in connection with this Agreement, except, and unless, the parties execute a separate agreement that governs such access.
    4. Performance Metrics and Prohibition on Re-Identification. Google may, in its sole discretion, provide Publisher with aggregated performance metrics about the Extension, and Publisher will not re-identity, attempt to re-identify, or allow re-identification of such metrics with Personal Information.
  7. License Grants

"Government Officials" include any government employee; candidate for public office; and employee of government-owned or government-controlled companies, public international organizations, and political parties.

If Publisher reasonably determines, or becomes aware of any allegation that any Extension, its use, or distribution, infringes the Intellectual Property Rights of any individual or entity, Publisher will notify Google immediately.
      3. Viruses. Publisher represents and warrants that Extensions do not include any viruses, spyware, Trojan horses, or other malicious code of any kind.
    6. Third Party Materials and Open Source.
      1.

      2. Publisher will comply with, and will cooperate in any manner necessary (as determined by Google) to assist Google in complying with any obligations contained in any licenses related to Third Party Material or Open Source Material. Publisher will not use any Open Source Materials licensed under GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) or Server Side Public License (SSPL). To the extent required by the applicable license and/or for Open Source Material licensed under GPL (GNU General Public License), LGPL (GNU Lesser General Public License), or MPL (Mozilla Public License), Publisher will include a .zip file within the Extension of the full source code and license terms for such Open Source Material and any third party component or library to which such Open Source Material is linked or with which it is distributed.
      3. Google retains the right to immediately hide, prohibit access to, or remove any Extension if Publisher fails to comply with this Section 8(f) (Third Party Materials and Open Source).

  10. Confidentiality.

    1. "Confidential Information" means information that one party (or an Affiliate) discloses to the other party under this Agreement, and that is marked as confidential or would normally be considered confidential information under the circumstances. It does not include information that was independently developed by the recipient, is or becomes public through no fault of the recipient, or is rightfully known by the recipient without confidentiality obligations. Any information that Google (or its Affiliates) shares with Publisher about or relating to a User is Google's Confidential Information.
    2. Duty. The recipient will not disclose the discloser's Confidential Information, except to employees, Affiliates, agents, or professional advisors ("Delegates") who need to know it and who have a legal obligation to keep it confidential. The recipient will use the discloser's Confidential Information only to exercise rights and fulfill obligations under this Agreement, and will ensure that such people and entities use the discloser's Confidential Information only to exercise rights and fulfill obligations under this Agreement while using reasonable care to protect the Confidential Information. The recipient will ensure that its Delegates are also subject to the same non-disclosure and use obligations. The recipient may disclose Confidential Information when required by law after giving reasonable notice to the discloser, if permitted by law.
    3. Independent Development. Each party recognizes that the other party may in the future develop or purchase Extensions or services related to or similar to the subject matter of Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement. Accordingly, the recipient may use Residuals for any purpose, including use in the acquisition, development, manufacture, promotion, sale, or maintenance of Extensions and services; provided that this right to Residuals does not represent a license under any intellectual property and/or proprietary rights of the discloser. The term "Residuals" means information that is retained in the unaided memories of the recipient’s employees or contractors as permitted herein who have had access to the discloser’s Confidential Information. Memory is unaided if the employee or contractor has not intentionally memorized the Confidential Information for the purpose of retaining and subsequently using or disclosing it.
