Sadly, I have never seen a TOS for the Suggest API that you mention (and believe me, I've searched). Quite simply, Google does not provide any terms by which we can use it. By default, this means that we are not allowed to do so. There has been a feature suggestion on the AJAX APIs issue tracker for some time. The best thing I can suggest is that you star that to tell the dev team and others at Google that you want it. Believe it or not, they actually do pay attention to that to prioritize their work load. Here's the link to the issue:
