My apologies. I didn't realize random Google employees trump legal
documents their high paid lawyers so tediously put together.
That's just me, though. YMMV. ;-)

The first is a hold-harmless: They don't want to be responsible for
stupid user tricks when you use Google Earth in a manner they can't
prove is safe.
The second is to allow them and their license-holders the right and
opportunity to see hard-copy output in large volumes.

Doesn't that depend on the size of the area you're looking at? If
I'm on a SAR mission I might want 30' contours for a smallish area.
If driving or other uses, probably not.
