Terms Of Use

API TERMS OF USE

We wanted to open Humanity up to developers so they can build their own desktop and mobile apps, so the Humanity API ("Service") was launched. We want to encourage the building of these apps but at the same time we need to make sure we are protecting the rights of both Humanity and its users. So we have come up with a set of Developer Terms of Use ("TOU") which we ask you adhere to when building your apps.

These TOU are subject to change as we evolve our API so make sure you check back here often. These TOU also assure our users that we doing everything possible to make sure that developers maintain secure, friendly and solid apps and that their data is always secure.

ACCESS TO THE API

By connecting to the Service and by developing apps that interface with the Service you understand that you and your app are bound to these TOU.

Your use of the Service are subject to certain limitations on the level of access, amount of calls, and use of the Service. Humanity Inc. may monitor your use of the Service and use this information to improve the Service. If Humanity Inc. reasonably believe that attempts have been made to exceed or circumvent the rate limits, your account and access to the Service may be temporarily or permanently blocked or suspended.

You will not attempt or encourage others to:

sell, rent, lease, sublicense, redistribute, or syndicate the Service to any third party for such party to develop additional products or services without prior written approval from Humanity Inc.

accredit the use of the Service somewhere in the website of your app and in the source code of your app.

OTHER LEGAL TERMS

By creating an app that connects to the Service you will be given access to certain non-public information belonging to all the users that connect and authenticate through your app ("Confidential User Data").

You must display a notice to users of your app that you are doing everything in your power to protect this Confidential User Data, and they must accept this notice to use your app.
