The Google Finance Disclaimer is a legal agreement that outlines the terms, limitations, and data ownership rules for using financial information on Google Finance and within Google Sheets formulas. Key Provisions
Not Financial Advice: The information provided is strictly for informational purposes and is not intended as financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. Google explicitly states it is not an investment advisor or brokerage firm.
No Liability for Errors: Google and its data partners disclaim all liability for any errors, omissions, interruptions, or delays in the data. They are not liable for any financial losses resulting from investment decisions made using this information.
Data Delays: Stock quotes and market indicators are not in real-time and are subject to time delays ranging from 15 to 20 minutes depending on the exchange rules.
Strict Usage Restrictions: Users are prohibited from copying, modifying, downloading, storing, or redistributing the data for commercial use without prior written consent. Data Providers and Exchanges
The disclaimer page includes an extensive table listing the third-party providers who supply the data, such as Morningstar (for end-of-day prices) and ICE Data Services (for intra-day information). It also details specific delay times for dozens of global stock exchanges. Google Sheets Integration
If you use the =GOOGLEFINANCE() formula in a spreadsheet, this disclaimer will automatically trigger a text alert at the bottom of your sheet to remind you that data may be delayed and should not be used for active trading.
If you are building a specific tool, I can help you understand how data delays affect your sheet or provide the syntax for a specific stock attribute.
