Hi, I have a question regarding Terms of Service section 9.1.1 (a) (which I pasted below)
I am going to launch a new website which will allow users to create areas and add points using Google Maps. Moreover, they will be able to add specific data to those points as well as photos. My question is: am I allowed to charge them for accessing the data added to the points and analytics of the data collected which will be available on pages that do not include Google Maps API? Therefore, Google Maps API is available for everyone for free. However, users can access some of the data created by them on pages which require subscription. "9.1.1 General Rules. (a) Free Access (No Fees). Your Maps API Implementation must be generally accessible to users without charge and must not require a fee-based subscription or other fee-based restricted access. This rule applies to Your Content and any other content in your Maps API Implementation, whether Your Content or the other content is in existence now or is added later." Where: "8.1 Definitions. (a) "Brand Features" means the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features of each party, respectively, as secured by such party from time to time. (b) "Content" means any content provided through the Service (whether created by Google or its third party licensors), including map and terrain data, photographic imagery, traffic data, places data (including business listings), or any other content. (c) "Maps API Implementation" means a software application or website that uses the Maps API(s) to obtain and display Content in conjunction with Your Content, according to these Terms. (d) "Your Content" means any content that you provide in your Maps API Implementation, including data, images, video, or software. Your Content does not include the Content." Thank you for your response in advance. Regards, Wojciech -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
