Actually, I have seen a few posts that try to give various interpretations to the relevant part of the Terms and Conditions.
For example: * The common use of a form is to submit data. I could not even imagine that > Google provides a tool and forbids its expected use at the same time since > this may constitute a fraudulent marketing policy on google's part. > * You can save the place id and this is OK since you are not saving any > Content, just a reference to the it. > * You can save one by one the data you need since this is not scrapping, > you just build your database. > * You can suggest on the map a place near the one that the user is > searching and let the user make the correction and consequently provide the > content which you can save because it is the user who provided it... > ... etc etc ... > Even if those interpretations (if not assumptions) could be correct you have to pay a lawyer to stand for your "right" if Google decides or fears that you are not using its services according to the TOS you agreed in the first place, since nothing is explicit. On the other hand, Bing is almost clear: ( https://www.microsoft.com/maps/product/terms.html ) Copy, store, archive, or create a database of the Content, except that > geocodes may be stored locally only for use with your Company Applications. > If this is the case, why not using Bing? Otherwise, one could contact the sales department of Google which -I imagine- is able to provide solutions.
