Terms of Use | App Store API

Updated: April 25th, 2016.

This document sets forth the terms on which Appfigures makes the Appfigures API (as defined below) available for use by registered Appfigures members. By using the Appfigures API, you and the organization identified in your account (“you”) agree to be bound by the following terms of use (“API Terms of Use”).

The API

The Appfigures API is a service that allows registered Appfigures members to retrieve app store data as well as account information programmatically. Appfigures may release subsequent versions of the Appfigures API and may require you to obtain and use the most recent version. New versions may not be compatible with your previous implementation. Appfigures will identify releases on its blog (http://blog.appfigures.com).

Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Appfigures API or Appfigures Brand & Links in any way that is unlawful, harms, or competes with services offered by Appfigures, its service providers, its suppliers, or any other person. Further, Appfigures may terminate your use of the Appfigures API and Appfigures Brand & Links if and when Appfigures determines that your use is inappropriate.

License to the API

Subject to these API Terms of Use, you may access the Appfigures API and implement the Appfigures API on your Web site(s), App(s), and/or Service(s) for internal and/or private use. Any commercial use of the API or data retrieved through the API requires a commercial license. You further agree not to otherwise reproduce, modify, distribute, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer any portion of the Appfigures API or any of the data provided by Appfigures.

If you become aware that any use of your implementation is in material breach of these API Terms of Use then you agree to notify Appfigures promptly of such breach by e-mail to support@appfigures.com, and to take prompt corrective action at your expense to remedy such breach. In addition, upon request of Appfigures, you will either (a) use all efforts to obtain such equitable relief to prevent harm to Appfigures, or (b) assign any of your applicable rights to permit Appfigures to seek such equitable relief. Your obligations to report and enforce the Applicable Terms will survive termination of these API Terms of Use or your use of the Appfigures API.

License to Appfigures Brand & Links

You agree, and Appfigures grants you a license, to implement the Appfigures name, logo(s), and links to appfigures.com (the “Appfigures Brand & Links”) on any Web page and/or Service incorporating the Appfigures API. You also agree not to use Appfigures Brand & Links in any way that suggests, directly or indirectly, that the product or service you are providing is sponsored, approved by, or is affiliated in any way with Appfigures.

Data retention

Private data, including information retrieved through the Appfigures API for your account and/or products that you directly own may be stored locally and retained indefinitely after retrieval.
Public data, including information retrieved through the Appfigures API for any product that you do not directly own in your account may not be stored locally and may only be retained for the purpose of caching for a period not exceeding 24 hours.

Limited Relationship

You and Appfigures are independent contractors, and nothing in these API Terms of Use shall be construed as creating an employer-employee relationship, a partnership, or a joint venture. While you may publicly refer to the fact that you have implemented the Appfigures API, you agree not make any other public statements that assert or imply any other relationship with Appfigures, unless you have Appfigures’ prior written approval.

Indemnity

You agree to hold harmless and indemnify Appfigures, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, employees, and suppliers, from and against any third party claim arising from or in any way related to your or your users’ use of the Appfigures, violation of these API Terms of Use or other actions connected with use of Appfigures services, including any liability or expense arising from all claims, losses, damages (actual and consequential), suits, judgments, litigation costs and attorneys’ fees, of every kind and nature.
