Isn't Google Maps use in a business directory against Google's rules?

Am interested in using GeoMaps but worried that it may be breaking Google's license terms.

 

See http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/maps/terms.html ...

 

"10.2 Restrictions on the Types of Applications that You are Permitted to Build with the Maps API(s)

(b) No Business, Residential, or Telephone Listings Services. You must not display business listings Content in any Maps API Implementation that has the primary purpose of making available business, residential address, or telephone directory listings."

 

So, is use of GeoMaps like the demo at http://demo.reviewsforjoomla.com/city-guide/hotels-and-travel breaking their terms and conditions (or does it mean users need to pay $10000 for the Google Maps premier service?)

 

thanks
