Version history

Google Maps Platform Terms of Service expanded its liability carve-out to explicitly include a fourth category: customer use of the Services in breach of any use or license restrictions. Previously, the agreement stated that nothing excludes or limits liability for intellectual property infringement, payment obligations, or matters that cannot be excluded under applicable law. The updated language adds that liability also cannot be excluded or limited for breaches of the agreement's use or license restrictions, creating an additional exception to liability limitations.

Google Maps revised its definition of 'High Risk Activities' to use broader language ('would reasonably be expected to result in' rather than 'could lead to') and expanded the scope to explicitly include weaponry. The company also updated the URL reference for its Acceptable Use Policy. These changes clarify and expand which uses of Google Maps Platform are restricted under the high-risk activities prohibition.
