BY INTERACTING IN ANY WAY WITH THE APIs, YOU OR THE ENTITY OR COMPANY THAT YOU REPRESENT (“YOU”) UNCONDITIONALLY CONSENT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY AND A PARTY TO THE TOU.
Use Rights
Subject to Your full compliance with the TOU, You may access the APIs to process, analyze, or display Hosted Data. You may not use the APIs for any other purpose without PowerPlan 's prior written consent. These use rights are limited, non-exclusive, revokable, nonsublicensable, and nontransferable. For clarity, Your access to and use of the products and services offered by PowerPlan (“PowerPlan Services”) and Hosted Data are governed by the software license or subscription agreement entered into between You and PowerPlan (“Master Contract”). “Hosted Data” means data that a user loads into the PowerPlan Services or processes or stores using the PowerPlan Services.
Registration
In order to access the APIs, You may be required to provide certain information (such as identification or contact details) as part of the registration process, or as part of Your continued use of the APIs. If so required, any registration information you give to PowerPlan will always be accurate and up to date and You will inform PowerPlan promptly of any updates.
Proprietary Rights
Your accessing of the APIs may expose You to confidential and proprietary information of PowerPlan, including but not limited to, business logic and rules, data architecture, data model, data schema, data structure, database structure, synthetic detail applied by PowerPlan to Hosted Data, or application internal data regarding usage, performance, and settings (“Content”). As between You and PowerPlan, the APIs, Content, PowerPlan Services, and all configurations, customizations, modifications, enhancements, updates, revisions, and derivatives thereof and all intellectual property rights are and shall always remain the sole and exclusive property of PowerPlan or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Security
Access and use of the APIs is permitted only for You, Your users, and Your computing systems. You will not misrepresent or mask Your, Your users’, or Your computing systems’ identities when using the APIs. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the access credentials for users or systems that are employed to ensure secure access management to the APIs. Your responsibility for confidentiality exists regardless of whether identity services are federated to Your identity provider system of record or PowerPlan provides identity services to You. You may not share Your credentials with others. You are fully liable for all use of the APIs, including any use by a user or system You did not authorize who accesses the APIs using Your access credentials. PowerPlan may terminate access and require new access credentials if it believes that access is being gained without authorization or contrary to the terms of the TOU. You are prohibited from bypassing or breaching any security device or protection used by the APIs. You agree to notify PowerPlan of any unauthorized use of Your access credentials or other breach of security of which You become aware within twenty-four (24) hours.
Restrictions and Obligations
PowerPlan expressly reserves the right to limit API access or API call responses beyond the use limit stated in the PowerPlan Services payment plan that You have subscribed to, and the number of API requests, in each case, in its sole discretion. If You would like to use the APIs beyond these limits, You must obtain PowerPlan’s express written consent (and PowerPlan may decline such request or condition acceptance on Your agreement to additional terms and/or charges for that use). Except as expressly authorized under the TOU or by PowerPlan, You may not (A) copy, rent, lease, sell, transfer, assign, sublicense, dissemble, reverse engineer or decompile (except to the limited extent expressly authorized under applicable statutory law), modify or alter any part of the APIs, Hosted Data, or Content; use the APIs on behalf of any third party; attempt or provide a means to execute any bulk operations, including without limitation by “crawling” the APIs, Hosted Data, or Content; cache or otherwise store any Content beyond the API-provided data; or modify any Hosted Data or Content beyond the APIs intended use; (B) use the APIs or any Hosted Data or Content in connection with or to promote any products, services or materials that constitute, promote or are used primarily for the purpose of dealing in: spyware, adware, spam, pornography or other offensive purposes; (C) use the APIs or any Hosted Data or Content in any manner or for any purpose that violates any applicable law or regulation, or any right of any person including, but not limited to, intellectual property rights, rights of privacy and/or rights of personality; (D) use the APIs in a manner that adversely impacts the stability of the APIs; (E) use the APIs to send fraudulent requests; or (F) use the APIs or Content to create a product or service that is substitutable with any PowerPlan Service.
Fees
To the extent Your use of the APIs is made available for any fee, such fees are specified in the payment plan that You have subscribed to, and You agree to pay all such fees as provided in and subject to the terms of the Master Contract.

Headings are included for convenience only and shall not be considered in interpreting the TOU. As used in the TOU “including” means “including but not limited to”.
