The following terms and conditions (the “Agreement”) govern Your use of the TempWorks Software, Inc. (hereinafter, “Licensor”) application programming interfaces and their related documentation made available to you (collectively, the “API”). You are hereinafter referred to as “You.”
BY (I) ACCESSING OR USING THE API, OR (II) AUTHORIZING OR PERMITTING ANY INDIVIDUAL TO ACCESS OR USE THE API, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT.
If You are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, You warrant and represent to Licensor that You have actual authority to do so, and to bind such entity to this Agreement. If You do not have this authority, or if You do not agree with any of the provisions of the Agreement in any way, You are not authorized to access or use the API.
1. Grant of License.
a. License Grant. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Licensor grants You a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sub-licensable, revocable license, during the term of this Agreement, to use and make calls to the API (i) in conjunction with web or software services or applications developed by You (the “Applications”), which (ii) solely access, and solely seek to access, the customer database(s) (the “Database”) of the TempWorks Enterprise software for which You have been provided an authentication token (the “Token”). The Token is solely issued to customers of Licensor’s proprietary front and back-office staffing software (“Enterprise”); accordingly, if You are not a customer of Licensor who has executed an ASP Agreement or Self-Hosted Agreement with Licensor, as applicable, You will need to request a Token from the customer(s) of Licensor, related to which You desire to access such Database. If You are not an Enterprise customer, Licensor will not directly issue You a Token. No license to Enterprise is being conveyed under this Agreement.
b. Token Security. You agree that You will not share any Tokens with any third party, will keep all Tokens secure, and will use the Tokens as the sole means of initiating calls to or otherwise accessing the API. You assume the sole risk of loss of, and liability for, Tokens in Your possession.
2. Modification.
a. Modification of the API. Licensor may, without any liability to You, revoke Your Tokens, modify its databases, the permitted uses under this Agreement, or any of the benefits or features provided in connection with Your use of the API at any time or without notice to You. Modifications may affect Your Applications and may require You to make changes to Your Applications at Your own cost to continue to be compatible with the API. In addition, Licensor may change, suspend, terminate or discontinue all or any part of the API, including the availability of the API itself, at any time without notice to You, and without liability to You.
b. Modification of this Agreement. Licensor reserves the right to modify this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time by posting a modified version of this Agreement to www.tempworks.com. You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modification. Your continued use of the API following any such modification constitutes Your acceptance of the modified terms of this Agreement. If you disagree with such modified terms, Your sole remedy is to terminate this Agreement immediately pursuant to Section 8 hereof.
3. Support.
a. Support. This Agreement, including access or license to the API, does not entitle You to any support, upgrades, or modifications (collectively, “Support”) for the API. Licensor may elect to provide You with Support for the API in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to do so. In the event Licensor opts to provide Support for the API, such agreement for support will be documented in an API Support Billing Form. If executed between Licensor and You, such API Support Billing Form is hereby incorporated by reference. Licensor does not make any guarantee with respect to the availability or uptime of the API.
