Google Maps Platform Terms of Service were modified to expand the non-excludable liability clause. The updated terms now state that nothing in the Agreement excludes or limits either party's liability for customer use of the Services in breach of any use or license restrictions. This addition means that Google cannot contractually cap its liability exposure if a customer violates the agreement's usage terms.
The updated terms add a new liability carve-out stating that Google cannot contractually exclude or limit its liability for customer breaches of usage or license restrictions in the agreement. This means if a customer violates how they are permitted to use Google Maps Platform, Google retains full liability exposure for damages resulting from that breach. The change affects the contractual liability allocation between Google and customers using the platform.
