API Terms of Use

Introduction

These API Terms of Use ("API Terms") govern your access to and use of SUZKO's application programming interfaces (APIs). By accessing or using our APIs, you agree to be bound by these API Terms, our Terms of Service, and our Privacy Policy.

1. API Access

1.1 API Credentials

To use our APIs, you must have an active SUZKO account and generate API credentials. Your API credentials are:

• Unique to your account
• Confidential and should not be shared
• Your responsibility to secure

You are responsible for all activities that occur using your API credentials, whether authorized by you or not. Notify us immediately if you believe your credentials have been compromised.

We may revoke, rotate, regenerate, scope, or invalidate your API keys, tokens, or other credentials at any time, with or without notice, where we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect the security, integrity, or availability of our services, to respond to suspected compromise or abuse, or to enforce these API Terms. You are responsible for updating your integrations following any such change, and we are not liable for any disruption resulting from it.

1.2 Authentication

All API requests must be authenticated using one of the following methods:

• API Key: Bearer token in the Authorization header
• OAuth 2.0: For applications requiring user authorization

2. Rate Limits

To ensure fair usage and system stability, API requests are subject to rate limits:

Rate limit information is included in API response headers. If you exceed rate limits, you will receive a 429 (Too Many Requests) response. Implement exponential backoff and retry logic in your applications.

3. Acceptable Use

3.1 Permitted Uses

You may use our APIs to:

3.2 Prohibited Uses

You may NOT use our APIs to:

• Circumvent restrictions: Bypass rate limits, access controls, or security measures
• Scrape or harvest: Collect data in bulk for purposes unrelated to your services
• Interfere: Disrupt the operation of our services or other users
• Compete: Create a competing service by replicating our functionality
• Resell access: Sell or provide API access to third parties without authorization
• Violate laws: Engage in any illegal activities or violate third-party rights

• Fail to pay for services requiring API access

Upon termination, you must immediately stop using our APIs and delete any cached data obtained through them.

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these API Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email and our developer portal. Continued use of the APIs after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

12. Support

API support is available through our developer documentation and support tickets. Enterprise customers receive dedicated API support with faster response times.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SUZKO, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your access to or use of the APIs, or any application, integration, or service you build with or connect to them.
• Your misuse of the APIs or your violation of these API Terms, our Terms of Service, or applicable law.
• Any claim by a third party (including your end users) arising from your applications, your handling of data, or your infringement or misappropriation of the rights of any third party.

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you agree to cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SUZKO and its affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the APIs, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the theory of liability.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SUZKO's total aggregate liability arising out of or related to these API Terms and your use of the APIs will not exceed the total amount you paid to SUZKO for access to the APIs during the six (6) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or, where API access is provided at no additional charge, one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).

15. Governing Law

These API Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to its conflict of law principles, consistent with our Terms of Service. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these API Terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Indiana, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

16. Severability

If any provision of these API Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

17. Entire Agreement

These API Terms, together with our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and any other policies or documentation expressly referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and SUZKO regarding your use of the APIs and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, on that subject. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
