Section 1: Account and Registration

a. Accepting the Terms You may not use the APIs and may not accept the Terms if (a) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Ocean Network Express, or (b) you are a person barred from using or receiving the APIs under the applicable laws of the United States or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the APIs.

b. Entity Level Acceptance If you are using the APIs on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to the Terms and by accepting the Terms, you are doing so on behalf of that entity (and all references to "you" in the Terms refer to that entity).

c. Registration
In order to access certain APIs you may be required to provide certain information (such as identification or contact details) as part of the registration process for the APIs, or as part of your continued use of the APIs. Any registration information you give to Ocean Network Express will always be accurate and up to date and you'll inform us promptly of any updates.

Section 2: Using Our APIs

a. Your End Users You will require your end users to comply with (and not knowingly enable them to violate) applicable law, regulation, and the Terms.

b. Compliance with Law, Third Party Rights, and Other Ocean Network Express Terms of Service
You will comply with all applicable law, regulation, and third-party rights (including without limitation laws regarding the import or export of data or software, privacy, and local laws). You will not use the APIs to encourage or promote illegal activity or violation of third-party rights. You will not violate any other terms of service with Ocean Network Express (or its affiliates).

c. Permitted Access
You will only access (or attempt to access) an API by the means described in the documentation of that API. If Ocean Network Express (ONE) assigns you developer credentials (e.g. client IDs), you must use them with the applicable APIs. You will not misrepresent or mask either your identity or your API Client's identity when using the APIs or developer accounts.

d. API Limitations
Ocean Network Express (ONE) and enforces limits on your use of the APIs (e.g. limiting the number of API requests that you may make or the number of users you may serve), in our sole discretion. You agree to, and will not attempt to circumvent, such limitations documented with each API. If you would like to use any API beyond these limits, you must obtain Ocean Network Express 's express consent and Ocean Network Express may decline such request or condition acceptance on your agreement to additional terms and/or charges for that use). To seek such approval, contact the relevant Ocean Network Express API team for information (e.g. by using support in the Ocean Network Express developers console).

e. Open Source Software Some of the software required by or included in our APIs may be offered under an open source license. Open source software licenses constitute separate written agreements. For certain APIs, open source software is listed in the documentation. To the limited extent the open source software license expressly supersedes the Terms, the open source license instead sets forth your agreement with Ocean Network Express for the applicable open source software.

f. Communication with Ocean Network Express. We may send you certain communications in connection with your use of the APIs. Please review the applicable API documentation for information about opting out of certain types of communication.

g. Feedback If you provide feedback or suggestions about our APIs, then we (and those we allow) may use such information without obligation to you.

Section 3: Your API Clients

a. API Clients and Monitoring The APIs are designed to help you enhance your websites and applications ("API Client(s)"). YOU AGREE THAT Ocean Network Express MAY MONITOR USE OF THE APIS TO ENSURE QUALITY, IMPROVE Ocean Network Express PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND VERIFY YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS. This monitoring may include Ocean Network Express accessing and using your API Client, for example to identify security issues that could affect Ocean Network Express or its users. You will not interfere with this monitoring. Ocean Network Express may use any technical means to overcome such interference. Ocean Network Express may suspend access to the APIs by you or your API Client without notice if we reasonably believe that you are in violation of the Terms.

b. Security You will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect user information collected by your API Client, including personally identifiable information ("PII"), from unauthorized access or use and will promptly report to your users any unauthorized access or use of such information to the extent required by applicable law.

c. Ownership Ocean Network Express does not acquire ownership in your API Clients, and by using our APIs, you do not acquire ownership of any rights in our APIs or the content that is accessed through our APIs.

d. User Privacy and API Clients, You will comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations including those applying to PII. You will provide and adhere to a privacy policy for your API Client that clearly and accurately describes to users of your API Client what user information you collect and how you use and share such information (including for advertising) with Ocean Network Express and third parties.

Section 4: Prohibitions and Confidentiality

a. API Prohibitions When using the APIs, you may not (or allow those acting on your behalf to):

  1. Sublicense an API for use by a third party. Consequently, you will not create an API Client that functions substantially the same as the APIs and offer it for use by third parties.
  2. Perform an action with the intent of introducing to Ocean Network Express products and services any viruses, worms, defects, Trojan horses, malware, or any items of a destructive nature.
  3. Defame, abuse, harass, stalk, or threaten others. Interfere with or disrupt the APIs or the servers or networks providing the APIs.
  4. Promote or facilitate unlawful online gambling or disruptive commercial messages or advertisements.
  5. Reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code from any API or any related software, except to the extent that this restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law.
  6. Use the APIs for any activities where the use or failure of the APIs could lead to death, personal injury, or environmental damage (such as the operation of nuclear facilities, air traffic control, or life support systems).
  7. Use the APIs to process or store any data that is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
  8. Remove, obscure, or alter any Ocean Network Express terms of service or any links to or notices of those terms.

b. Confidential Matters Developer credentials (such as passwords, keys, and client IDs) are intended to be used by you and identify your API Client. You will keep your credentials confidential and make reasonable efforts to prevent and discourage other API Clients from using your credentials. Developer credentials may not be embedded in open source projects.

Our communications to you and our APIs may contain Ocean Network Express confidential information. Ocean Network Express confidential information includes any materials, communications, and information that are marked confidential or that would normally be considered confidential under the circumstances. If you receive any such information, then you will not disclose it to any third party without Ocean Network Express’s prior written consent. Ocean Network Express confidential information does not include information that you independently developed, that was rightfully given to you by a third party without confidentiality obligation, or that becomes public through no fault of your own. You may disclose Ocean Network Express confidential information when compelled to do so by law if you provide us reasonable prior notice, unless a court order that we not receive notice.

Section 5: Content

a. Content Accessible Through our APIs Our APIs contain some third-party content (such as text, images, videos, audio, or software). This content is the sole responsibility of the person that makes it available. We may sometimes review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our policies or the Terms, and we may remove or refuse to display content. Finally, content accessible through our APIs may be subject to intellectual property rights, and, if so, you may not use it unless you are licensed to do so by the owner of that content or are otherwise permitted by law. Your access to the content provided by the API may be restricted, limited, or filtered in accordance with applicable law, regulation, and policy.

b. Our APIs are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," and Ocean Network Express makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding uptime, accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose; this serves as our disclaimer of warranties.
