Keiser API Agreement

Last revised on July 25, 2018

All users of the Keiser Corporation ("Keiser") APIs, either by accessing or using the APIs, or authorizing or permitting any individual to access or use the API are subject to the following Agreement. "You" means you individually or the entity that you represent. If you are entering into this Agreement for an entity, you represent and warrant to us that you have the legal authority to bind that entity to this Agreement.

The Keiser application programming interfaces (APIs), developer zone documentation, code examples, and any software, materials, or data that Keiser makes available to you, in its sole discretion, are made available subject solely to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which terms incorporate by reference the Keiser Developer Zone Terms of Service, including the Keiser Developer Zone Privacy Policy and Keiser Brand Guidelines for Developers. By accessing or using any of the Keiser APIs outlined on this site or in accompanying documentation, you acknowledge that you have read, and agree to abide by, this Agreement including the Service Terms. If you are unable to comply with the current or any future version of this Agreement, you must immediately cease all use of Keiser APIs.

Any amendment to this Agreement will be effective upon our posting of such updated terms at this location or the successor URL that Keiser may select. Your continued use of any Keiser API after such posting constitutes your consent to be bound by this Agreement, as updated and amended. Additionally, we may modify, remove, or add portions of, or otherwise update any of the Keiser APIs from time to time at Keiser's sole discretion.

Promotion

Keiser may use your service or application and related marks and logos that utilize Keiser APIs, for the purposes of promoting Keiser. However, Keiser has no obligation to use or promote any service or application.

Customer Support

You, and not Keiser, are responsible for providing all forms of support for your application or service. Keiser is not obligated to provide any type of support for Keiser APIs or services.

Privacy

You agree to use commercially reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical measures, including taking account of the measures described in Article 32(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation 2016 /679 ("GDPR"), to maintain the security and integrity of (i) all data you access or collect from Keiser APIs, and (ii) all other data you access or collect in connection with any of your applications or services. Data collected through a Keiser API as well as data existing in your application or service are collectively defined as "Data." You are fully responsible for the security of Data used in connection with your application or service, or otherwise in your possession. You agree to comply with all applicable state and federal laws and rules in connection with your collection, security, and dissemination of any personal, financial, card, or transaction Data through your application or service. You must ensure that when personally identifiable information from any Keiser API is transmitted, it is done so over a secure, encrypted channel (e.g., HTTPS). You must notify Keiser of any security breach, including any personal data breach within the meaning of the GDPR, related to your application or service, or any Keiser API Data as soon as possible but no later than twenty-four hours of your discovery of any such security incident.

Data Collection

You may not collect, use, store, aggregate or transfer any Keiser API Data in any manner except as expressly permitted by us for the use of your application or service. You agree not to transfer or disclose any Data to any third parties, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, each application or service end user, your then-current privacy policy, and in full compliance with all applicable laws. You may not, directly, or indirectly, disclose, market, sell, license, or lease any Keiser API Data to any third party including but not limited to advertisers or data brokers even if your application or service user consents to such use. Users of your application or service must be permitted to express contact preferences, via notice and opt-out, at the point of collection and in each subsequent marketing piece. If you are acquired or merge with a third party, you must give Keiser notice of such transaction.

Usage Data

You agree that Keiser may collect certain use data and information related to your use of Keiser APIs in connection with your application or service ("Usage Data"), and that Keiser may use such Usage Data for any business purpose, internal or external, including, without limitation, providing enhancements to Keiser APIs, providing developer of user support, or otherwise. You agree to include a statement to this effect in your privacy policy.

Advertising

You may include advertisements in your application or service, but you must not use Keiser Data in any advertisements without Keiser's express written consent. Your advertisements may not be displayed in any manner that suggests approval or endorsement by Keiser.

API Changes

Keiser may make changes in the structure or operation of any API at any time without notice.

Access to and use of Keiser APIs are currently provided at no charge. Keiser reserves the right to charge you for use of any Keiser API in the future at our discretion, including, without limitation, rated pricing and/or differentiated pricing. We will provide you with notice in the event we decide to start charging for use. If you do not agree to any such charges or updates, you must discontinue use of the API within 30-days of notice posting.

Privacy Policy

Your application or service shall have a lawful privacy policy, including GDPR compliance, accessible with reasonably prominent hyperlinks that does not conflict with or supersede the Keiser Developer Zone Privacy Policy and the privacy policy for the corresponding API in use and that explains how you collect, store, use, and/or transfer any Personal Data (defined below) via your application or service. You also agree to comply with all privacy and data protection laws applicable to you.

If your use of any Keiser API requires or will likely result in the provision of Personal Data directly to any Keiser API, you agree to obtain all necessary consents and authorizations from the applicable users to provide such Personal Data to Keiser. You will also take steps to ensure that such users are aware of this processing and disclosure in such cases, including by adding a statement to this effect in your privacy policy. Keiser will treat Personal Data obtained from you through your use of any Keiser API in accordance with Keiser's then-current Privacy Policy.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law or agreement with the applicable user to retain such data, if a user revokes the authorization previously granted for your application or service to access to their information access through a Keiser API, you must ensure that all Personal Data pertaining to that user is deleted from your application or service and related networks, systems, and servers. If you stop using a Keiser API altogether or if your Keiser APIs access is revoked, you must delete all Personal Data in the same way.

You agree to process and use Personal Data in a manner consistent with all applicable data protection and privacy laws, including as applicable the GDPR. If for any reason you are unable to comply with any privacy requirement of this Agreement you must promptly inform Keiser and take reasonable and appropriate steps to remedy any non-compliance or cease your access to Keiser APIs and use of all Personal Data.

"Personal Data" means data that may be used, either alone or together with other information, to identify an individual user, including, without limitation, a user’s name, address, telephone number, username, email address, city and country, geolocation, unique identifiers, picture, or other similar information and includes personal data as defined in the GDPR.

Use of Keiser Trademarks

The rights granted in this Agreement do not include any general right to use the Keiser name or any Keiser trademarks, service marks or logos with respect to your application or service. Subject to your continued compliance with this Agreement, you may use the Keiser logo to comply the Keiser Branding Guidelines for Developers. These rights apply on a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-free basis, without any right to sub-license, and may be revoked by Keiser at any time. If Keiser updates the Branding Guidelines or any Keiser logo that you are using, you agree to update the Keiser logo to reflect the most current versions. You must not use any Keiser logos, marks, or any confusingly similar mark, as the name or part of the name or icon of your application or service, or as part of any logo or branding for your application or service.

Intellectual Property

You agree that Keiser and its affiliates and licensors retain all worldwide right, title and interest in and to the Keiser APIs, Keiser Data, and Keiser Marks including, without limitation, all intellectual property rights therein. Any rights not expressly granted herein are prohibited and reserved.

You understand that Keiser may currently or in the future develop products and services that may be similar to or compete with your application or service. Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way restrict Keiser from pursuing any business activities or from entering into any agreement with any other person or company.

In the event that you choose to provide Keiser with feedback, suggestions or comments regarding the Keiser APIs or Keiser products, or your use thereof, you agree that Keiser will be free to use, copy, modify, create derivative works, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, grant sublicenses to, and otherwise exploit in any manner such feedback, suggestions or comments, for any and all purposes, with no obligation of any kind to you.

To facilitate your Keiser APIs integration, Keiser may make certain SDK(s) and/or libraries available to you under a separate open source license. You agree that any Keiser API integration facilitated with such open source SDK(s) and/or libraries remains subject to this Agreement.

You hereby grant to Keiser a paid-up, royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, right and license, under all applicable intellectual property rights, for Keiser’s marketing and promotional purposes to: (a) use, perform, make available, display to the public, reproduce your application or service and your integration of the Keiser APIs and (b) use your name, likeness, or brand (which includes all your trademarks, service marks, logos, brand names, or trade names) ("Your Marks") to the extent it is incorporated into your application or service. Following the termination of this Agreement and upon written request from you, Keiser shall make commercially reasonable efforts, as determined in its sole discretion, to remove references to your application or service and any of Your Marks from the Keiser website and related materials.
