Fair Use of Base Maps

Swyvl provides access to Google 3D Tiles and Google Satellite Imagery as base maps within the Service. These resources are offered subject to a fair use policy.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to monitor usage and determine if a Project or account is generating unusually high levels of traffic or requests that create excessive costs. In such cases, we may:

  • Request that you provide and configure your own Google Maps API key to continue using these base maps, and
  • Notify you that you may be responsible for any charges from Google associated with such usage.

Failure to comply may result in restricted access to Swyvl's provided API key or limitations on the use of these base map services.
