Google can terminate your access to Maps APIs immediately if you break any rule, if the law requires it, or simply if Google decides to stop offering the service in your country — with no requirement to provide advance warning in many scenarios.
If a business's Maps API access is terminated, their customers may lose access to map-dependent features of the product immediately, with no guaranteed transition period or data portability.

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Immediate termination without notice may conflict with the EU Platform-to-Business (P2B) Regulation (EU) 2019/1150, which requires platforms to provide at least 30 days' notice before terminating or restricting access for business users, except in cases of illegal content or serious safety concerns. The DMA also imposes fair access obligations on gatekeeper platforms. In the UK, the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 creates similar obligations. (2)
