API Terms
This Webpayment API Terms of Service document (the “API TOS”) is an agreement you must accept in order to use the Webpayment API (as described below). This document describes both your rights and your obligations as part of using the Webpayment API. It is important that you read it carefully because you will be legally bound to these terms. Webpayment, Inc. (“Webpayment” “we” “us”) only provides the Webpayment API to you subject to this API TOS. By accepting this API TOS or by accessing or using the Webpayment API, you agree to be bound by this API TOS (including the Privacy Policy, and general Terms of Service for Users and Customers, which are incorporated here by reference).
If you are entering into this API TOS on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to this API TOS. In that case, the terms “you” or “your” shall also refer to such entity. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with this API TOS, you may not use the Webpayment API. You acknowledge that this API TOS is a contract between you and Webpayment, even though it is electronic and is not physically signed by you and Webpayment, and it governs your use of the Webpayment API.
Application – Any software application, website, or product you create or service you offer using the Webpayment API (defined below).
API Documentation – The documentation, data and information that Webpayment provides regarding the use of the Webpayment API through the Developer Site.

Developer Site – Webpayment’s Developer Site found at https://api.webpayment.io/
Webpayment API or “our API” – The publicly available Webpayment Application Programming Interface (“API”) as well as the related API Documentation.

The “Service” does not include Data or any software application or service that is provided by you or a third party (including Applications), whether or not Webpayment designates them as “official integrations”.
As long as you follow this API TOS, Webpayment grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable license to use the APIs to develop, test, and support any software application, website, or product, and to integrate the Webpayment APIs with your Application. Your license is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.2 through 4.11 and Section 9 below, and you agree that violation of Section 4 will automatically terminate your license to use the Webpayment APIs.
The following identifies limitations on use related to the Webpayment API:
Reliance on API. Webpayment is still evolving, and we need the flexibility to occasionally make changes to our APIs, including backwards incompatible ones. We will try to give notice of such changes. Also, parts of our API are undocumented, including certain methods, events, and properties. Given that these undocumented aspects of our API may change at any time, you should not rely on these behaviors.
Applicable laws or agreements. You may not use the Webpayment API in violation of any law or regulation, or rights of any person, including but not limited to intellectual property rights, rights of privacy, or rights of personality, or in any manner inconsistent with this API TOS or Webpayment’s other agreements to which you are subject.
Scope of acceptable use. You may not use the Webpayment API or any other technology in a manner that accesses or uses any information beyond what Webpayment allows under this API TOS or the Documentation; that changes the Webpayment Service; that breaks or circumvents any of Webpayment’s technical, administrative, process or security measures; that disrupts or degrades the performance of the Webpayment Service or the Webpayment API; or that tests the vulnerability of Webpayment’s systems or networks.
Malware. You may not transmit any viruses or other computer programming that may damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept, or expropriate any system or data.
Reverse engineering. You may not attempt to reverse engineer or otherwise derive source code, trade secrets, or know-how in the Webpayment API or portion thereof;
Functionality. You may not use the Webpayment API to replicate or compete with core products or services offered by Webpayment. You acknowledge and agree that Webpayment has or may in the future offer products or services that are similar to your Application, and nothing will prevent Webpayment from doing so;
Commercial Use. You may charge for your Application. However, you may not sell, rent, lease, sublicense, redistribute, or syndicate access to the Webpayment API.
Advertising. You may place advertisements on and around your Application. However, you may not:
Place any advertisements within Webpayment Service channels, and your advertisements may not resemble or be reasonably likely to confuse users as being a Webpayment Service message;
Use Data or any content from Webpayment in any advertisements or for purposes of targeting advertisements, in your Application or elsewhere; or
Use contact information obtained from Webpayment (including email addresses) to contact Webpayment users outside of Webpayment without their express permission.
Rate Limits. You will not attempt to exceed or circumvent limitations on access, calls and use of Webpayment API, or otherwise use the Webpayment API in a manner that exceeds reasonable request volume, constitutes excessive or abusive usage, or otherwise fails to comply or is inconsistent with any part of this API TOS or the Documentation. Our present rate limits are 10 requests per second per IP address, as well as 10 requests per second per session/bearer token.

Caching Data. Where Data is cached, you should refresh the cache at least every 24 hours.
Secure Storage Measures. All Data should be stored and served using strong encryption.
Delete at User Request. You must delete all Data you have collected from a Webpayment user upon request by that user, and when the Webpayment user deauthorizes your Application or closes his or her account with you. Similarly, when a team stops using your Application, you should delete all Data obtained from that team. The restrictions of this Section do not apply to Data that Webpayment users also provide directly to you and that is separately entered or uploaded to you by the user of your Application.
Deletion at Termination. If we terminate your use of the Webpayment APIs for any reason, then you must permanently delete all Data and any other information that you stored pursuant to your use of the Webpayment APIs, except when doing so would cause you to violate any law or obligation imposed by a governmental authority. This provision does not require a Webpayment user to delete Data stored in Webpayment if the Webpayment user is prohibited from accessing the Webpayment API.
No Other Storing. You may not copy or store any Data or capture or store any information expressed by the Data (such as hashed or transferred data), except to the extent permitted by this API TOS.
If you offer your Application for use by others outside your organization, you must maintain a user agreement and privacy policy for your Application, which is prominently identified or located where users download or access your Application. Your privacy policy must meet applicable legal standards and accurately describe the collection, use, storage and sharing of data. You must promptly notify us of any breaches of your user agreement or privacy policy that impact or may impact Webpayment users. Your privacy policy must be at least as stringent and user-friendly as ours.
Protections. The network, operating system and software of your web servers, databases, and computer systems (collectively, “Your Systems”) must be properly configured to securely operate your Application and store Data. Your Application must use reasonable security measures to protect your users’ information. You must not architect or select Your Systems in a manner to avoid the foregoing obligation.
Reporting. You must promptly report any security deficiencies in, or intrusions to, your Systems to Webpayment in writing via email to support@webpayment.io or subsequent contact information posted on the Developer Site. This includes any unauthorized access, use, disclosure or destruction of Data. You will work with Webpayment to immediately correct any security deficiency, and will immediately disconnect any intrusions or intruder. In the event of any security deficiency or intrusion involving the Application, Webpayment APIs or Data, you will make no public statements regarding such deficiencies or intrusions (e.g., press, blogs, social media, bulletin boards, etc.) without prior written and express permission from Webpayment in each instance.
You will not knowingly:
Allow or assist any government entities, law enforcement, or other organizations to conduct surveillance or obtain data using your access to the Webpayment API in order to avoid serving legal process directly on Webpayment. Any such use by you for law enforcement purposes is a breach of this API TOS.
