storing full address from google places api

Users will be able to submit places through my site, providing title, description, address and other info. Info will be later used in mobile app and elsewhere.

Anyway, I was thinking to use autocomplete, powered by google places api. Am I allowed to store the full addres user types in, or selects from autocomplete list? It is user provided information, the api is used to suggest and display on map, which is on the right from the form. The only thing I need is the full address.

Thanks for your answers.

Probably. Google's Terms of Service are a little vague in this respect, but what they appear to be prohibiting is bulk copying of their database. In your case you're using Places to assist the user. Of course it's impossible to say how Google will choose to change or interpret their TOS in the future, but you should be on safe ground.
