1. Standards.

The Products rely on widely-recognized international standards for naming and mapping conventions. For example, for country and territory naming, we rely primarily on the ISO-3166 standard, which is recognized by the UN Statistics Division.

If any Product is used or accessed by or on behalf of the United States government, such use or access is subject to the following provision. The Products and any related documentation are deemed "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation," respectively, within the meaning of the applicable civilian and military Federal acquisition regulations and any supplement thereto. If the user of the Product is an agency, department, employee, or other entity of the United States Government, the use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer of the Products, including technical data, manuals or other accompanying documentation, is restricted by the terms, conditions and covenants contained in the Google Earth Engine Terms of Service and the Google Earth Engine APIs Terms of Service.
