This Subscription Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legal agreement with IP Street Holdings, LLC ("IP Street") regarding access to, and use of, IP Street’s proprietary Application Programing Interfaces (the “APIs”) and use of data, information, and electronic documentation produced by, or received from, use of the APIs (collectively the “Data”). By accessing or using the APIs, an entity or individual (“Subscriber”) agrees to each and every term of this Agreement (the “Terms”). Subscriber is directed to read all Terms carefully. Further information regarding Subscriber, the type of subscription purchased, and the IP Street Charges (defined below) are contained in a Subscription Order between IP Street and Subscriber, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference. To the extent the Subscription Order conflicts with this Agreement, the Subscription Order shall control. Additionally, IP Street’s Privacy Policy is incorporated herein by reference, and is fully applicable to IP Street and Subscriber (collectively the “Parties”). See IP Street’s Privacy Policy for information about IP Street’s data protection practices and IP Street's use and protection of Subscriber’s information.
- Grant. Subscriber is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as provided in the Subscription Order), limited license to access the APIs, and, through the APIs, to access IP Street’s database comprised of data and information from various sources including IP Street created data and information, third party data and information, and publicly available data and information (the "Database"). Further provisions regarding specific uses allowed of Subscriber are contained in the Subscription Order. Subject to the provisions of the Subscription Order, Subscriber is licensed to use the Data solely for internal purposes and may not incorporate the APIs or Data into products for third parties, or transfer the IP Street Content (defined below) to third parties in any form not specifically allowed by the Terms. IP Street sets and enforces limits on Subscriber’s use of the APIs to comply with the type of subscription detailed in the Subscription Order. Subscriber agrees to, and will not attempt to, circumvent such limitations.
- Documentation Page. IP Street makes available online a document webpage which includes numerous documents detailing information and processes associated with the APIs, including the APIs protocols (the “Document Page”). IP Street grants Subscriber a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to use documents obtained from the Document Page for Subscriber’s internal purposes only. The performance of ipstreet.com, and the Document Page, is not guaranteed and may vary depending upon various factors. IP Street expressly reserves all copyright protection in the documents contained on the Document Page, and the protocols to the APIs. Together the APIs, Database, Data, Document Page (and its contents) are collectively referred to as the “IP Street Content.”
- API Key/Registration. In order to access the APIs, Subscriber will need a unique API Key, provided by IP Street. IP Street reserves the right to change the API Key as it determines necessary. Subscriber may be required to provide certain information (such as identification or contact details) as part of the subscription process. Any registration information Subscriber provides to IP Street must be accurate and up to date. Subscriber agrees to inform IP Street promptly of any changes to such information. Subscriber must keep its API Key confidential, including taking appropriate measures to maintain the confidentiality, especially when connected to the Internet. Subscriber may not allow any third party to use its API Key under any circumstances. Additionally, Subscriber shall only access an API by the means described in the documentation of that API found on the Documentation Page. Subscriber will not misrepresent or mask its identity when accessing the APIs. IP Street is not liable for any harm caused by or related to the theft, misappropriation, disclosure, or unauthorized use of Subscriber’s API Key. Subscriber must contact IP Street immediately if it becomes aware of, or believes there is or may have been, any unauthorized use of Subscriber’s API Key, or otherwise wishes to deactivate its API Key due to security concerns.
- API Protocols. To properly use and access the APIs, Subscriber must comply with the API protocols as detailed and explained on the Document Page. Subscriber is solely responsible for properly programming its system to comply with the API protocol.
- Subscriber’s End Users. If Subscriber is allowed, through its Subscription Order, to incorporate the IP Street Content into a product it transfers, sells, or in any other way allows a third party to use or access, Subscriber will require the third party (“Subscriber’s End User”) to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and the Terms.
- Open Source Software. Some of the software recommended, or provided, in relation to use of the APIs may be offered under an open source license. Open source software licenses constitute separate written agreements. For certain APIs, open source software is detailed on the Document Page. To the limited extent the open source software license expressly supersedes the Terms, the open source license sets forth Subscriber’s agreement with IP Street for the applicable open source software.
- Non-Exclusivity. The Terms are non-exclusive. Subscriber specifically acknowledges that IP Street may allow third parties to use the API’s in the same manner, or in a different manner, than Subscriber’s use. Additionally, IP Street may develop products or services that may compete with Subscriber or Subscriber’s End Users.
