New Google Advertising Program Terms & Conditions
AdWordsAPIAdvisor
Conditions (https://adwords.google.com/select/tsandcsfinder) that will
affect many AdWords accounts within the United States. Since many of
you manage US-based accounts via the API, we wanted to call attention
to this event as it requires account holders or their managers to
physically "click to accept" the new Terms and Conditions.
---------------------------------
To be clear, these Terms and Conditions apply to AdWords users
(regardless of whether or not they use the API), and are separate
and distinct from the changes that we announced to the AdWords
API beta Terms and Conditions
(http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com/2006/08/important-api-registration-process-now.html).
---------------------------------
Affected AdWords account holders will have until November 27, 2006 to
log in to their accounts and either accept or reject the new Google
Advertising Program Terms & Conditions. If an account has not accepted
these new Google Advertising Program Terms and Conditions by this
deadline, API access will be blocked until the user accepts.
We recommend that you speak with your advertisers/clients in order to
determine who should review and accept/decline these terms.
Account managers (MCC users) can automatically accept these new Google
Advertising Program Terms and Conditions for all affected accounts
under their My Client Center by logging into the MCC, navigating to an
affected child account, and accepting the Google Advertising Program
Terms & Conditions. This action will then instantaneously accept the
new Google Advertising Program Terms and Conditions for all other
accounts under that MCC. If you maintain a nested/hierarchical MCC
structure, please be sure that you login to your top-most MCC when you
accept the changes. This will ensure that all of your sub-accounts
will automatically accept the Google Advertising Program Terms and
Conditions.
Unfortunately, we're unable to interpret the meaning of changes in our
legal documents for you. If you have questions or you need legal advice
on interpreting the terms, we encourage you to consult counsel to help
you understand how these changes may affect you.
Again, please note that in order to ensure uninterrupted access to your
accounts, the new Google Advertising Program Terms and Conditions must
be accepted before November 27, 2006.

My apologies. The first sentence should read. "On August 29th we
posted a revision...".
