It's not ridiculous when that's the service they offered. The courts should honestly stick them to their word (small companies have been driven out of business for much less) but we all know that's not happening in a corporatocracy like this.

True. To be fair, I believe the original terms required you pay for a minimum of 5 employees (so $50/mo). No great love for Google here, and I would love to see the courts make them honor something like this if they did indeed advertise falsely.
