One important detail

Google says that, where the law allows, its responsibility for certain claims is limited to $200 or the amount you paid for the relevant service in the previous 12 months, whichever is higher.

In one simple sentence

Google lets you use its services, but you must respect its rules, protect other people's rights, and understand that Google can remove content or close accounts when necessary.
