I wanted to try out the Google Cloud Vision API for free, but there was this notice:

This service can only be used for business or commercial reasons. You are responsible for assessing and reporting VAT.

If I were in the US, I could choose the "Individual" account type, but if I select "Germany" as country, then I do not get that option, and can only register as a business.

Does this mean that it is illegal for me to use it, as I am not a business? I also won't use it for commercial reasons, is this also illegal? If yes, is there a way I could use the API without violating any laws?
