Can you help me with a question regarding Google Maps Developer API?

Hi! I have a question regarding Google Maps API and mapping services in general that has been KILLING me for the past year and I would truly appreciate if someone can put this to rest for me. It’s in regard to Google’s Terms of Service and what exactly they allow and don’t allow with their free API.

I have a project I’m trying to get off the ground, you can see it here: http://bit.ly/lJfupZ

Quick explanation of what the site does: You can create Location Maps, which are commonly used maps on Film and Television Production Shoots (but also good for planning any kind of event). A picture is worth a thousand words: http://bit.ly/s6k7xi

The user is given the ability to map a location. Once they’ve chosen the location they can add text boxes, pins, driving directions, upload images and edit colors all to create a nice Location Map like the one in link above. When user is finished, they are given the ability to download and/or email their map as a PDF (as shown in link).

It is important to note that our website currently has a pricing page and we may want to charge for our service in the future BUT … NOT RIGHT NOW… We are using the free API so we are offering the free. When we want to charge we will buy the Premium API and that is a separate discussion.

So to the problem: First, GoogleMap’s API TOS was not written for the average person. I’ve read it inside and our and while some points are clear I can’t come to a definite conclusion as to whether or not my site abides by their API. Second, getting a straight answer from a real life person at Google is damn near impossible.

I’m looking for two things:

1) Opinions (Or definite answers) as to whether or not I am safe under Google’s free API TOS

2) Help on getting in touch with a real life Google Maps PERSON who can give me a real answer.

Any help anyone can give me would be REALLY appreciated. This has been driving me crazy and my project has been stuck for the longest time because of it.
