Yes, without an active subscription.

> Can I Store Geocoding API Results?

> 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.

In the case of OpenStreetMap-derived geocoding, of course, their terms of service can say "we won't continue to sell to you if that's what you're doing". But the data itself is ODbL-licensed so once you've got it, you can keep it.

I wonder if you can sign a contract with them that locks in your subscription pricing for all time (I imagine not) - without that you risk them jacking up the price on you once you're heavily invested (after they sell the company to Oracle.)
