Google Map Maker Source Data License Agreement

Last updated: June 17, 2011

Thank you for your interest in the Google Map Maker Source Data. The Google Map Maker Source Data License Agreement gives non-profit entities, government agencies, and individuals the ability to use certain raw map data from Google Map Maker (the "Map Maker Source Data") to create or enhance their own non-commercial map-related projects (such as disaster-relief assessment studies). To help Google make your map data universally accessible and useful, we encourage you to share your edits and enhancements with the community by adding those edits and enhancements to Google Map Maker.

Please don't use the Map Maker Source Data if: (a) you are a for-profit entity; or (b) you want to use the map data for any commercial purpose; or (c) you want to create a mapping service (such as driving directions); or (d) you want to create any other service that is similar to a service already provided by Google through its products and APIs. Instead, please consider using the Google Maps APIs or Google's other products under the terms of service associated with those products.

Map Maker depends on users to create and edit the dynamic map data at mapmaker.google.com. Please join our map-making community and make it possible for us to provide more map data and map updates to the world!

1. Your relationship with Google.

1.1 Use of Map Maker Source Data is Subject to these Terms. Your use of Google Map Maker Source Data is subject to the terms of a legal agreement between you and Google Inc., whose principal place of business is at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, United States ("Google"). This legal agreement is referred to as the "Terms".

1.2 The Terms include Google's Privacy Policy.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing with Google, the Terms will include the following:

(i) the terms and conditions set forth in this document; and

(ii) Google's Privacy Policy.

(b) Before you use the Map Maker Source Data, you should read each of the documents comprising the Terms, and print or save a local copy for your records.

1.3 Use of Other Google Services and Additional Terms. If you use the Map Maker Source Data in conjunction with any other Google products or services, including any Google API (collectively, the Map Maker Source Data and all other Google products and services are referred to as the "Google Services"), your agreement with Google will also include the terms applicable to those Google Services. All of these are referred to as the "Additional Terms." If Additional Terms apply, they will be accessible to you either within or through your use of the applicable Google Services. If there is any contradiction between the Additional Terms and these Terms, then these Terms will take precedence only as they relate to the Map Maker Source Data, and not to any other Google Services.

1.4 Precedence of Map Maker Source Data Terms. If there is any contradiction between these Terms and other Map Maker-related documents (including but not limited to any Map Maker FAQs or documentation), then these Terms will take precedence as they relate to the Map Maker Source Data.
