<br/>
Last Updated: May 10, 2013<br/>
<br/>
1. Your relationship with Google.<br/>
<br/>
1.1 Use of the Service is Subject to these Terms. Your use of any of the Google Maps/Google Earth APIs (referred to in this document as the "Maps API(s)" or the "Service") is subject to the terms of a legal agreement between you and Google (the "Terms"). "Google” means either (a) Google Ireland Limited, with offices at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, if Customer's billing address is in any country within Europe, the Middle East, or Africa ("EMEA");  (b) Google Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., with offices at 8 Marina View Asia Square 1 #30-01 Singapore 018960, if Customer's billing address is in any country within the Asia Pacific region ("APAC"); or (c) Google Inc., with offices at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA, if Customer's billing address is in any country in the world other than those in EMEA and APAC. <br/>
1.2 The Terms include Google's Legal Notices and Privacy Policy. <br/>
<br/>
(a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing with Google, the Terms will include the following: <br/>
(i) the terms and conditions set forth in this document (the "Maps APIs Terms");<br/>
(ii) the Legal Notices; and<br/>
(iii) the Privacy Policy.<br/>
<br/>
(b) Before you use the Maps API(s), you should read each of the documents comprising the Terms, and print or save a local copy for your records.<br/>
<br/>
1.3 Use of Other Google Services and Additional Terms. If you use the Maps API(s) in conjunction with any other Google products or services, including any other Google API(s), (collectively, the Service and all other Google products and services are referred to as the "Google Services"), your agreement with Google will also include the terms applicable to those Google Services. All of these are referred to as the "Additional Terms." If Additional Terms apply, they will be accessible to you either within or through your use of the applicable Google Services. If there is any contradiction between the Additional Terms and the Maps APIs Terms, then the Maps APIs Terms will take precedence only as they relate to the Maps API(s), and not to any other Google Services.<br/>
<br/>
1.4 Precedence of Maps APIs Terms. If there is any contradiction between the Maps APIs Terms and other Maps API(s)-related documents (including but not limited to the Maps APIs Documentation), then the Maps APIs Terms will take precedence.<br/>
<br/>
1.5 Changes to the Terms. Google reserves the right to make changes to the Terms from time to time. When these changes are made, Google will make a new copy of the Terms available at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html (or such successor URLs that Google may designate from time to time). You understand and agree that if you use the Service after the date on which the Terms have changed, Google will treat your use as acceptance of the updated Terms. If a modification is unacceptable to you, you may terminate this agreement by ceasing use of the Maps API(s).<br/>
<br/>

<br/>
4.3 Advertising.<br/>
<br/>

<br/>
(b) Although the Service currently does not include advertising in the maps images, Google reserves the right to include advertising in the maps images provided to you through the Service.<br/>
(i) Google will provide you with 90 days notice prior to the commencement of advertising in the maps images (the "Ads Notice period"). Such notice (the "Ads Notice") may be provided on relevant Google websites, including but not limited to the Google Geo Developers Blog (or such successor URLs that Google may designate from time to time) and the applicable Google Maps API Groups.<br/>
<br/>

<br/>
4.4 Changes to the Service; Deprecation Policy.<br/>
Google will announce if it intends to discontinue or make backwards incompatible changes to this API or Service. Google will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to operate those Google Maps API versions and features identified at http://developers.google.com/maps/maps-api-list without these changes until the later of: (i) one year after the announcement or (ii) April 20, 2015, unless (as Google determines in its reasonable good faith judgment):<br/>
required by law or third party relationship (including if there is a change in applicable law or relationship), or<br/>
doing so could create a security risk or substantial economic or material technical burden.<br/>
The above policy is the "Deprecation Policy."<br/>

<br/>
(c) You understand and agree that Google has the sole right and discretion to determine whether your attribution(s) are in compliance with the above requirements.<br/>
<br/>

<br/>
(e) No Modification of Links. You must not modify, replace, obscure, or otherwise hinder the functioning of links to Google or third party websites provided in the Content. For the avoidance of doubt, titles for place results must link to the applicable URL provided in the result, unless the title is intended to be selected only for purposes of navigation by an end user accessing your Maps API Implementation from a device with appropriately space-constraining user interface options. In these cases, the title linking to the Google-provided URL must be displayed as the top and primary link on the subsequent landing page or user interface component.<br/>
<br/>
(f) No Violation of Google Policies. You must not violate any policies in the Maps APIs Documentation or violate Google's Software Principles (available at http://www.google.com/intl/en/corporate/software_principles.html or such successor URLs that Google may designate from time to time) and other policies as Google may develop from time to time, including but not limited to the Google policies below, under which you agree not to:<br/>
<br/>
(i) defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal rights (such as rights of privacy and publicity) of others;<br/>
<br/>
(ii) upload, post, transmit or otherwise make available any inappropriate, defamatory, obscene, or unlawful content;<br/>
<br/>
(iii) upload, post, transmit or otherwise make available any content that infringes any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right of any party, unless you are the owner of the rights, or have the permission of the owner or other legal justification to use such content;<br/>

<br/>
(xiii) display content in your Maps API Implementation that falsely expresses or implies that such content is sponsored or endorsed by Google;<br/>
<br/>

<br/>
(g) No Use of Content without a Google Map. You must not use or display the Content without a corresponding Google map, unless you are explicitly permitted to do so in the Maps APIs Documentation, or through written permission from Google. In any event, you must not use or display the Content on or in conjunction with a non-Google map. For example, you must not use geocodes obtained through the Service in conjunction with a non-Google map. As another example, you must not display Street View imagery alongside a non-Google map, but you may display Street View imagery without a corresponding Google map because the Maps APIs Documentation explicitly permits you to do so.<br/>
<br/>
(h) No Use of Static Maps API(s) outside a Web-Based Application (Except with a Link to Google Maps). You must not use the Static Maps API(s) outside of a web-based application unless:<br/>
<br/>
(i) your platform does not have a web browser; or<br/>
<br/>

<br/>
(i) No Use Beyond Google's Transaction Limits and Usage Policies. If your Maps API application generates a high volume of transactions, Google reserves the right to set transaction limits, as described in the Documentation here. Google also reserves the right to set other usage policies in the Documentation from time to time. If you want to engage in use outside these transaction limits or usage policies, please contact the Google Maps API for Business sales team for information on licensing options to address your needs.<br/>
<br/>
(j) Geolocation Privacy.<br/>
<br/>
(i) Your Maps API Implementation must notify the user in advance of the type(s) of data that you intend to collect from the user or the user's device. Your Maps API Implementation must not obtain or cache any user's location in any manner except with the user's prior consent. Your Maps API Implementation must let the user revoke the user's consent at any time.<br/>
<br/>
(ii) If your Maps API Implementation provides Google with geolocation data, that geolocation data must not enable Google to identify an individual user. For example, if your Maps API Implementation sends Google Your Content, and Your Content includes geolocation data, Your Content must not also include unique device identifiers associated with individual users.<br/>
<br/>
(iii) If you intend to obtain the user's location and use it with any other data provider's data, you must disclose this fact to the user.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
10.1.2 Restrictions against Commercial Use.<br/>
<br/>
(a) No Fees. You must not charge users or any other third party any fee for the use of the Maps API Implementation, the Service, or the Content, except as permitted under Section 9.1.2 (Exceptions).<br/>
<br/>
(b) No Direct Marketing.

You must contact the Google Maps API for Business sales team to obtain a direct license if you desire to do either of the above.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
10.1.3 Restrictions against Data Export or Copying.<br/>
<br/>
(a) No Unauthorized Copying, Modification, Creation of Derivative Works, or Display of the Content. You must not copy, translate, modify, or create a derivative work (including creating or contributing to a database) of, or publicly display any Content or any part thereof except as explicitly permitted under these Terms. For example, the following are prohibited: (i) creating server-side modification of map tiles; (ii) stitching multiple static map images together to display a map that is larger than permitted in the Maps APIs Documentation; (iii) creating mailing lists or telemarketing lists based on the Content; or (iv) exporting, writing, or saving the Content to a third party's location-based platform or service.<br/>
<br/>
(b) No Pre-Fetching, Caching, or Storage of Content. You must not pre-fetch, cache, or store any Content, except that you may store: (i) limited amounts of Content for the purpose of improving the performance of your Maps API Implementation if you do so temporarily (and in no event for more than 30 calendar days), securely, and in a manner that does not permit use of the Content outside of the Service; and (ii) any content identifier or key that the Maps APIs Documentation specifically permits you to store. For example, you must not use the Content to create an independent database of "places" or other local listings information.<br/>
<br/>
(c) No Mass Downloads or Bulk Feeds of Content. You must not use the Service in a manner that gives you or any other person access to mass downloads or bulk feeds of any Content, including but not limited to numerical latitude or longitude coordinates, imagery, visible map data, or places data (including business listings). For example, you are not permitted to offer a batch geocoding service that uses Content contained in the Maps API(s).<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
10.2 Restrictions on the Types of Applications that You are Permitted to Build with the Maps API(s). Except as explicitly permitted in Section 8 (Licenses from Google to You) or the Maps APIs Documentation, you must not (nor may you permit anyone else to) do any of the following:<br/>
<br/>
(a) No "Wrapping." You must not create or offer a "wrapper" for the Service, unless you obtain Google's written consent to do so. For example, you are not permitted to: (i) use or provide any part of the Service or Content (such as map imagery, geocoding, directions, places, or terrain data) in an API that you offer to others; or (ii) create a Maps API Implementation that reimplements or duplicates Google Maps/Google Earth. For clarity, you are not "re-implementing or duplicating" Google Maps/Google Earth if your Maps API Implementation provides substantial additional features or content beyond Google Maps/Google Earth, and those additional features or content constitute the primary defining characteristic of your Maps API Implementation.<br/>
<br/>
(b) No Business, Residential, or Telephone Listings Services. You must not display any of the business listings Content provided by the Maps API(s) in any Maps API Implementation that has the primary purpose of making available business, residential address, or telephone directory listings.<br/>
<br/>
(c) No Navigation, Autonomous Vehicle Control, or Enterprise Applications. You must not use the Service or Content with any products, systems, or applications for or in connection with any of the following:<br/>
<br/>
(i) real time navigation or route guidance, including but not limited to turn-by-turn route guidance that is synchronized to the position of a user's sensor-enabled device.<br/>
<br/>
(ii) any systems or functions for automatic or autonomous control of vehicle behavior; or<br/>
<br/>
(iii) enterprise dispatch, fleet management, business asset tracking or similar applications. If you want to engage in enterprise dispatch, fleet management, business asset tracking, or similar applications, please contact the Google Maps API for Business sales team to obtain a Google enterprise license. (If you are offering a non-enterprise implementation, you may use the Google Maps API(s) to track assets such as cars, buses or other vehicles, as long as your tracking application is made available to the public without charge. For example, you may offer a free, public Maps API Implementation that displays real-time public transit or other transportation status information.)<br/>
