I feel you should mention whether or no you pay for the API and have a legitimate contract enforceable with law.

This is one reason why I don't use google APIs; I can't pay for them with any sort of reasonable SLA.

You might get an SLA for money but you can't stop a product from disappearing.

But if you have a contract, you can at least expect the product to exist for the term of the contract.
