Hi Laxmidi, I'm also not a lawyer to be clear (I'm a computer science guy, Flex developer currently). But reading the document over a couple of times it appears you just have to pay close attention to the words used, these limitations are only for the "Static Maps API" and the "Google Maps API Web Services" which are essentially the Geocoding services that do look-ups on addresses or reverse lookups on lat/lngs to give addresses, among other services but it appears to me there is no limit to the number of users who can view maps on your site.
The key here is you can't use the static maps to be in the "unlimited" world or the google web services, you can get tiles from them and place markers on the map assuming you have the lat/lng but if you need to lookup addresses this is where the services come into play (or you plan to use the static maps to get an "image" of the map rather than having the actual control in your application). The possibility of running into these limits only exists if you depend on those services though, if you can do the lookups of lat/lng in advance then you can avoid the limits completely. It also seems the pay as you go plan is made for situations such as yours where you might run into the limit wall and don't have the money for a full premiere license. The other thing is if you're getting 25,000 hits per day on your site it's likely you can find some way to get some revenue off of that to offset the cost of the maps (although I understand this would eat at potential profit).
