Can I store the latitude/longitude points I get back from your API forever or is there a caching time limit?

Can I keep those points if I'm no longer a customer?

Can I resyndicate those stored points via my own API?

    Thanks - that quote is from a list under the heading "Furthermore, you herein agree not to make use of Stadia Maps, Inc.’s Services in any of the following ways:"

    (Having scanned those terms I'm still not 100% certain I can confidently answer all three of my questions though. A classic challenge with this is that terms often have language that relates to map tile images, but it's hard to derive if those same terms apply to geocoded lat/lon points.)

      Yes, without an active subscription.

      > Unlike most vendors, we won't charge you 10x the standard fee per request to store geocoding results long-term! However, we do require an active Standard, Professional, or Enterprise subscription to permanently store results (e.g. in a database). Temporary storage in the normal course of your work is allowed on all plans. See our terms of service for the full legal terms.
