Here maps policy on using screeshots and generating higher resolution printable map images combining screenshots


I am developing an application where having a proper printable map image could be more beneficial; I have been through developer policy and guidelines but were unable to find anything specific about conditions on use of screenshots where I would like my application to be able to generate higher resolution printable map images may or may not be combining screenshots as necessary only if it's allowed.

How do I get content usage policies of here maps on screenshot assets?
