Content Linked to by GoodSearch
The sites displayed as search results or linked to by GoodSearch Services are developed by people over whom GoodSearch exercises no control. The search results that appear from GoodSearch's search engine partner's indices are indexed by GoodSearch's search engine partner's automated machinery and computers, and GoodSearch cannot and does not screen the sites before including them in the indices from which such automated search results are gathered. A search using GoodSearch Services may produce search results and links to sites that some people find objectionable, inappropriate, or offensive. We cannot guarantee that a GoodSearch search will not locate unintended or objectionable content and assume no responsibility for the content of any site included in any search results or otherwise linked to by the GoodSearch Services.
Personal Use Only
The GoodSearch Services are made available for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not use the GoodSearch Services to sell a product or service, or to increase traffic to your Web site for commercial reasons, such as advertising sales. You may not take the results from a GoodSearch search and reformat and display them, or mirror the GoodSearch home page or results pages on your Web site. You may not "meta-search" GoodSearch. If you want to make commercial use of the GoodSearch Services, you must enter into an agreement with GoodSearch to do so in advance. Please contact us for more information.
If you are interested in adding a GoodSearch search box to your web site or your company's web site, we encourage you to do so.
No Automated Querying
You may not send automated queries of any sort to GoodSearch's system. Note that "sending automated queries" includes, among other things:
Using any software which sends queries to GoodSearch to determine how a website or webpage "ranks" on GoodSearch's partner's search engines for various queries
"Meta-searching" GoodSearch
Performing "offline" searches on GoodSearch.
Prohibited Uses
You shall not, and shall not authorize or encourage any third party to directly or indirectly generate queries, impressions of or clicks on any Search Results, Links and/or Ad(s) through any automated, deceptive, fraudulent or other invalid means, including but not limited to through repeated manual clicks, the use of robots or other automated query tools and/or computer generated search requests, and/or the unauthorized use of other search engine optimization services and/or software.
While not expressly prohibited, searches to URL’s (i.e., search terms ending in .com, .org, .net, .edu) as well as searches to sites for which the URL is well known such as HotMail, ESPN, MySpace, Facebook, GMail, AOL, etc. will not count toward a nonprofit’s total searches and revenue.
