Tremendous API License and Terms
Last updated: May 24, 2023
Tremendous may, in its sole discretion, grant a Client access to the Tremendous API. These TREMENDOUS API LICENSE AND TERMS (the “API Terms”) supplement the Corporate Client Service Agreement between the entity on whose behalf a Tremendous Account is created and Tremendous (the “Agreement”) and govern the Client’s access to and use of the Tremendous API. Please read these API Terms carefully, as they form a legally binding agreement between Client and Tremendous. We may update these API Terms from time to time, by posting an updated version of the API Terms here as further described in Section 10.c below. The “Last Updated” legend at the top of this page indicates when these API Terms were last revised. Any changes to these API Terms will become effective upon the earlier of: (a) your first use of the Tremendous API with actual notice of such changes, or (b) 30 days after we post or distribute the revised API Terms, and such changes will apply to your use of the Tremendous API after the effective date of the revised API Terms. If you do not wish to accept the new API Terms, you must stop using the Tremendous API.
In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between these API Terms and the Agreement, these API Terms will control to the extent necessary to resolve any such conflict or inconsistency. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. Tremendous and the Client, each a “Party” and, together, the “Parties.”
USE OF THE TREMENDOUS API
Access to the Tremendous API. In Tremendous’ sole discretion, Client may be granted API Credentials to access to the Tremendous API. Client must keep its API Credentials secure and may not share the API Credentials with any third party. Client will not access the Tremendous API by any means other than the API Credentials. API Credentials are the exclusive property of Tremendous.
Application. The software application, website, interface, or any other means Client uses to access the Tremendous API using the API Credentials is referred to herein as Client’s “Application.”
API License. Tremendous grants to Client a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable and limited license to use and make calls to the Tremendous API solely in connection with interoperating or integrating with the Service, and solely in the manner described in the technical documentation contained in the Tremendous API and this Agreement.
API Restrictions. When using the Tremendous API, Client will (and will ensure Authorized Users will):

API Limits. Tremendous may set and enforce limits on Client’s use of the Tremendous API (limiting the number of requests that Client may make, the number of sub-accounts (or End-Users, as defined in the Platform Client Terms) served, etc.), in our sole discretion. Any applicable limits will be communicated to Client and Client will comply with such limits. If Client would like to use the Tremendous API beyond these limits, Client must obtain Tremendous’ express written consent (and Tremendous may decline such request or condition acceptance on Client’s agreement to additional terms and/or charges for that use). To request such approval, contact your CSM.
Open Source Software. Some of the software packages, libraries, or components required by or included in the Tremendous API are or may become licensed under an open source software license (“Open Source Components”). To the limited extent that the Open Source Component license expressly supersedes these API Terms, your use, reproduction and distribution of any such Open Source Components is governed by the terms of the applicable open source software license and not this Section 1.f and you agree to comply with any terms of use applicable to such Open Source Components.
Feedback. If Client or any of its employees or representatives provides any Feedback with respect to the Tremendous API, Client hereby assigns to Tremendous all right, title, and interest in and to the Feedback, and we are free to use, reproduce, disclose, or otherwise exploit the Feedback without attribution, payment, or restriction, including to improve the Tremendous API and the Service and to create other products and services.

CHANGES TO THE TREMENDOUS API
Updates. Tremendous reserves the right to require Client to install or update any and all software to continue using the Tremendous API. Client acknowledges that Tremendous may make Updates to the Tremendous API from time to time, and at its sole discretion. Client must implement and use the most current version of the Tremendous API and to make any changes to Client’s Application that are required as a result of such Update, at Client’s sole cost and expense. Updates may adversely affect the manner in which Client’s Application accesses or communicates with the Tremendous API. Client’s continued access or use of the Tremendous API following an update or modification will constitute binding acceptance of the Update.
Access and Use. Tremendous may change or discontinue the availability of some or all of the Tremendous API at any time for any reason with or without notice. Such changes may include removal of features, or the requirements of fees for previously free features. Tremendous may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict Client’s access to some or all of the Tremendous API. Client’s continued use of the Tremendous API following a subsequent release will be deemed acceptance of such modifications.
Beta Services. From time to time, Tremendous may, in its sole discretion, invite Client to use, on a trial basis, pre-release or beta features that are in development and not yet available to the public (“Beta Services”). Beta Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions, which Tremendous will provide to Client prior to Client’s use of the Beta Services. Such Beta Services and all associated conversations and materials relating thereto will be considered Confidential Information of Tremendous and subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in the Agreement. Tremendous makes no representations or warranties that the Beta Services will function in accordance with any requirements, specifications, documentation or at all. Tremendous may discontinue the Beta Services at any time in its sole discretion. Tremendous will have no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with Client’s use of a Beta Service. The Beta Services may not work in the same way as a final version. Tremendous may change or not release a final or commercial version of a Beta Service in our sole discretion.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
The Services, the Tremendous API, and all software, documentation, information, hardware, equipment, devices, templates, tools, documents, processes, methodologies, know-how, websites and any additional intellectual or other property used by or on behalf of Tremendous or otherwise related to the Service, together with all copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets and any other proprietary rights inherent therein and related thereto (collectively, “Tremendous Property”) will be and remain the sole and exclusive property of Tremendous. To the extent, if any, that ownership of any Tremendous Property does not automatically vest in Tremendous by virtue of the Agreement, the Platform Client Terms, or these API Terms, or otherwise, and vests in Client, Client hereby transfers and assigns to Tremendous, upon the creation thereof, all rights, title and interest Client may have in and to such Tremendous Property (and waives any and all moral rights, as applicable), including the right to sue and recover for past, present and future violations thereof.
Tremendous does not acquire ownership in Client’s Application, and by using the Tremendous API, Client does not acquire ownership of any rights in the Tremendous APIs or the content that is accessed through the Tremendous APIs.
SECURITY
CLIENT AGREES THAT TREMENDOUS MAY MONITOR USE OF THE TREMENDOUS API TO ENSURE QUALITY, IMPROVE TREMENDOUS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND VERIFY CLIENT’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS. This monitoring may include Tremendous accessing and using Client’s Application, for example to identify security issues that could affect Tremendous or other clients. Client agrees not to interfere with this monitoring. Tremendous may use any technical means to overcome such interference. Tremendous may suspend access to the Tremendous API by Client or Client’s Application without notice if Tremendous reasonably believes that Client is in violation of the Agreement or these API Terms.
Client’s Application will be installed and run on Client’s server or another server, but will not be run on Tremendous’s servers. Client’s networks, operating system and software of Client’s web servers, routers, databases, and computer systems (collectively, “Client System”) must be properly configured to Internet industry standards so as to securely operate Client’s Application and protect against unauthorized access to, disclosure or use of any information Client receives from Tremendous. If Client does not completely control some aspect of the Client System, Client will use all influence that Client has over the Client System to do so. Client must at all times diligently correct any security deficiency, and disconnect immediately any known or suspected intrusions or intruder.
AUDIT
Tremendous shall have the right to audit, or to appoint an independent auditor under appropriate non-disclosure conditions to audit the Application, Client System and records to confirm Client’s compliance with these API Terms. If requested, Client must provide us with proof that Client’s Application complies with these API Terms.
