Except in the case of Private API Credentials, in order to access and use the Rehive API, Developer must obtain an API Client by registering for a Partner Account and agreeing to and complying with the terms and conditions of the Managed Partner Service Agreement or other written agreement with Rehive relating to Developer’s access to and use of the Rehive API and participation in the Partner Program.
  3. If you are accessing and using the Rehive API by Private API Credentials, you may only do so with the express authorization of the Account Owner for the applicable Account, and only for the purposes of providing your Application’s service to the Account Owner to whom the Private API Credentials relate.
  4. Except as permitted herein,
  1. you must keep the API Credentials and all login information for your Account and Partner Account secure,
  2. you may not share the API Credentials with any third party, and
  3. you will not access the Rehive API by any means other than the API Credentials you receive in accordance with the terms in this section. API Credentials are the exclusive property of Rehive, and your access to and use of API Credentials is at Rehive’s sole discretion.
  1. You are not permitted to use a service provider in connection with providing your Application’s service unless they sign an agreement with you to
  1. protect any End User Data received from Rehive (that is at least as protective as Rehive’s terms and policies),
  2. limit their use of End User Data solely for the purpose of providing their services to your Application (and not for their own purpose or any other purpose), and
  3. keep the End User Data secure and confidential. You must ensure that any service provider complies with these Terms of Service and any other applicable Rehive terms and policies, and you acknowledge and agree that any act or omission by a service provider amounting to a breach of these Terms of Service will be deemed to be a breach by you. If requested, you will provide a list of your service providers to Rehive or the Account Owner.
  1. Access to certain APIs or SDKs may require a separate written agreement between Developer and Rehive.
  1. API License
  1. Subject to these Terms of Service, Rehive grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, and limited license to use and make calls to the Rehive API solely in connection with developing, implementing, and distributing your Application that interoperates or integrates with the Services, and solely in the manner described in these Terms of Service and in the technical documentation contained in the Rehive API.
  1. API Restrictions
  1. When using the Rehive API, you will (and will ensure that your employees, agents, and service providers will):
  1. only use the Rehive API (including SDKs) to develop and distribute Applications or content for your use or an End User’s use with the Services;
  2. restrict disclosure of the API Credentials, or any part thereof, to your agents, employees, or service providers, who must require access to use, maintain, implement, correct, or update your Application in accordance with the Terms of Service, and who are subject to confidentiality obligations the same as or greater than those contained herein;
  3. not distribute, sell, lease, rent, lend, transfer, assign, or sublicense any rights granted by the Terms of Service or the Software License Agreement to any third party;
  4. not use or access the Rehive API or the Services in order to monitor the availability, performance, or functionality of the Rehive API, the Services, or any portion thereof or for any similar benchmarking purposes;
  5. not remove or destroy any copyright notices, proprietary markings, or confidentiality notices placed upon, contained within, or associated with the Rehive API;
  6. not engage in any activity that interferes with, disrupts, harms, damages, or accesses in an unauthorized manner the servers, security, networks, data, applications, or other properties or services of Rehive or any third party;
  7. not circumvent technological measures intended to prevent direct database access, or manufacture tools or products to that effect;
  8. not modify, translate, reverse engineer, disassemble, reconstruct, decompile, copy, or create derivative works of the Rehive API, End User Data, any Account, the Services, or any aspect or portion thereof, except to the extent that this restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law and except to the extent expressly permitted by the Software License Agreement;
  9. not bypass Rehive API restrictions for any reason, including automating administrative functions of the Account Admin;
  10. not, except as authorized by Rehive in writing or as expressly permitted by the Software License Agreement, substantially replicate products or services offered by Rehive, including the Rehive API. Subject to the preceding sentence and the parties’ other rights and obligations under the Terms of Service (including confidentiality obligations and any restrictions on use of End User Data), each party agrees that the other party may develop and publish Applications that are similar to or otherwise compete with such party’s Applications;
  11. not develop Applications that excessively burden the Rehive system, distribute spyware, adware, or other commonly objectionable programs;
  12. not develop an Application whose primary purpose is to migrate Rehive Users or End Users from the Services;
  13. not access or use the Rehive API to develop or distribute the Application in any way in furtherance of criminal, fraudulent, or other unlawful activity, or otherwise violate the Terms of Service;
  14. not request more than the minimum amount of data from a Rehive API needed by your Application to provide the End User the intended Application functionality, or any data outside any permissions granted by the End User;
  15. not falsify or alter any unique identifier in, or assigned to your Application, or otherwise obscure or alter the source of queries coming from an Application; and
  16. not include code in any Application that performs any operations not related to the services provided by the Application, whether or not Developer has obtained End User consent to do so. For the avoidance of doubt, this prohibited activity includes embedding or incorporating code into any Application which utilizes the resources (including CPU resources) of another computer, including for the purposes of cryptocurrency mining.
  1. API Limits
  1. Rehive may set and enforce limits on your use of the Rehive API (limiting the number of requests that you may make or the number of End Users you may serve), in our sole discretion. You agree to, and will not attempt to circumvent such limitations, including those documented at https://docs.rehive.com/platform/general-usage/throttling/. If you would like to use any Rehive API beyond these limits, you must obtain Rehive’s express written consent (and Rehive may decline such request or condition acceptance on your agreement to additional terms and/or charges for that use). To seek such approval, please contact us via your Rehive Dashboard.
  1. Open Source Software
  1. Some of the software packages, libraries, or components required by or included in the Rehive API are or may become licensed under an open source software license (“Open Source Components”). To the limited extent that the license for Open Source Components expressly supersedes the Terms of Service, your use, reproduction, and distribution of any such Open Source Components is governed by the terms of the applicable open source software license and not these Terms of Service.
  1. Changes to the Rehive API
  1. Updates
  1. Rehive reserves the right to require Developer to install or update any and all software to continue using the Rehive API and the Services. You acknowledge that Rehive may make Updates to the Rehive API from time to time, and at its sole discretion. You must implement and use the most current version of the Rehive API and to make any changes to your Application that are required as a result of such Update, at your sole cost and expense. Updates may adversely affect how your Application accesses or communicates with the Rehive API. Your continued access or use of the Rehive API following an update or modification will constitute binding acceptance of the Update.
  1. Access and Use
  1. We may change or discontinue the availability of some or all of the Rehive API at any time for any reason with or without notice. Such changes may include the removal of features or the requirements of fees for previously free features. We may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to some or all of the Rehive API. Your continued use of the Rehive API following a subsequent release will be deemed your acceptance of modifications.
  1. Beta Services
  1. From time to time, Rehive may, in its sole discretion, invite you to use, on a trial basis, pre-release or beta features that are in development and not yet available to the public (“Beta Services”). Beta Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions, which Rehive will provide to you prior to your use of the Beta Services. Such Beta Services and all associated conversations and materials relating thereto will be considered Confidential Information of Rehive and be subject to the confidentiality provisions in these Terms of Service. Rehive makes no representations or warranties that the Beta Services will function. Rehive may discontinue the Beta Services at any time in its sole discretion. Rehive will have no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with any of the Beta Services. The Beta Services may not work in the same way as a final version. Rehive may change or not release a final or commercial version of any Beta Services at our sole discretion.

  1. FEATURES AND BUGS

  1. We have designed the Services with care, based on our own experience and the experiences of customers who share their time and feedback. However, we make no guarantees that the Services will meet your specific requirements or expectations.
  2. We also test all of our features extensively before shipping them. As with any software, the Services inevitably have some bugs. We track the bugs reported to us and work through priority ones, especially any related to security or privacy. Not all reported bugs will get fixed, and we don’t guarantee completely error-free Services.

However, Rehive may, without your consent, include your name and other indicia in its lists of current or former customers in promotional and marketing materials.

  1. NOTICES

Any notice, request, consent, claim, demand, waiver, or other communication under these Terms of Service shall have legal effect only if in writing and addressed to a Party at the address or email address set forth in these Terms or to such other address or email address as either Party may from time to time specify.

This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or will confer on any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

  1. PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION

We take many measures to protect and secure your data through backups, redundancies, and encryption. We enforce encryption for data transmission from the public Internet. There are some edge cases where we may send your data through our network unencrypted.

 

Rehive is firmly committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information and the personal information of your customers. By using the Website and the Services, you acknowledge and agree to Rehive’s collection, usage, and disclosure of this personal information as governed by our Privacy Policy.

 

Rehive employees and contractors will be given access your data for the following reasons:

  1. To help you with support requests you make. We’ll ask for express consent before accessing your Account.
  2. To improve and safeguard the Services. We’ll look at logs and metadata as part of our work to ensure the security of your User Content and the Services as a whole. If necessary, we may also access Accounts as part of an abuse report investigation.
  3. To the extent required by applicable law.  

 

We use third-party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run the Services. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), Rehive is a “service provider,” not a “business” or “third party,” with respect to your use of the Services. That means we process any data you share with us only for the purpose you signed up for and as described in these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, and our other policies. We do not retain, use, disclose, or sell any of that information for any other commercial purposes unless we have your explicit permission. By using the Services, you agree to comply with your requirements under the CCPA and not to use the Services in a way that violates the regulations.

  1. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These Terms of Service (and any other terms or agreements referenced herein, including but not limited to the Privacy Policy and Software License Agreement), and any and all claims, disputes or other legal proceedings by or between you and Rehive, including but not limited to any claims or disputes that are in any way related to or arising out of these Terms of Service or your use of or access to the Website or the Services, shall be governed by and construed per U.S. federal law and the laws of the state of Delaware, without regard to any principles of conflicts of law.

 

Except as otherwise required by a non-waivable provision of applicable law, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in San Francisco, California, United States before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS according to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction in San Francisco County, California, or if such proceeding cannot be lawfully held in such location, as near thereto as applicable law permits.

  1. FORCE MAJEURE

Rehive shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where the failure results from any cause beyond Rehive’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic, or communications failure or degradation.
