Last Updated: August 29, 2022
PaceGateway Developer API Terms of Use

By registering for and using the PaceGateway Developer API (the “Developer API”), you agree to bound by the terms for using content, including any accompanying headlines, links or metadata (“API Content”), tools, utilities, developer services and associated data, tokenized user information or software (collectively, “Tools”) accessed through the Developer API or any other PaceGateway API and the additional Developer API Terms of Use identified below.

1. Introduction

The Developer API Terms of Use govern your access and use of the Developer API and the PaceGateway website and mobile application www.pacesoft.net (collectively, the “PaceGateway Services”), related API Content and Tools and are comprised of (i) the terms set forth below, (ii) the Privacy Policy generally applicable to PaceGateway and PaceGateway’s other sites, applications, platforms and services and (iii) any additional terms applicable to the Developer API, related API Content or Tools, including the terms within the accompanying API documentation. You agree that in the event of any inconsistency between the terms set forth below and the terms of use generally applicable to the PaceGateway Services, the terms set forth below control.

By accessing or using the PaceGateway Services, you agree to comply with the Developer API Terms and agree that they control your relationship with us. Please read the Developer API Terms carefully. By using the PaceGateway Services, you agree to these terms. If you disagree with any of the Developer API Terms, PaceGateway does not grant you a license to use the PaceGateway Services.

You may not use the PaceGateway Services, and may not accept the Developer API Terms if (i) you are not of legal age to form a binding agreement with PaceGateway or (ii) you are a person barred from using or receiving the Developer API 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 Developer API. If you use the Developer API on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant to PaceGateway that you have authority to bind that entity to the Developer API Terms and by accepting the Developer API Terms, you are accepting the terms on behalf of that entity, and all references to “you” in the Developer API Terms refer to that entity.

PaceGateway may amend the Developer API Terms or any portion thereof at any time to, for example, reflect changes to the law, changes to the Developer API or for any other reason in PaceGateway’s sole discretion. We will post a notice of any material amendment in the API documentation or in the PaceGateway Developer Center. Any amendment to the Developer API Terms will be effective 30 calendar days following the posting date unless the amendment addresses new functions for the Developer API or is made for legal reasons, in which case the amendment will be effective immediately. Please review the Developer API Terms periodically to ensure that you and your Apps comply with any applicable amendments. As a courtesy, we will include notice of material amendments in an email that we will send to the then-current list of email addresses provided by developers. Our failure to do so, however, or your failure to receive or read the email, will not relieve you of your obligation to comply with any amendment of these Developer API Terms once they become effective. Your continued use of the modified Developer API constitutes your acceptance of the modified Developer API Terms. If you do not agree to the Developer API Terms as amended you should discontinue your use of the Developer API.

PaceGateway may charge a fee to access the Developer API, related API Content or a particular Tool. Any new fee or any change to an existing fee implemented by PaceGateway would be a material change to the Developer API Terms, for which advance notice would be provided to you by PaceGateway in accordance with this Section 3.

We may send you certain communications in connection with your use of the modified Developer API. Please review the modified Developer API documentation for information about opting out of certain types of communication.

You agree that you will not, in the absence of PaceGateway’s prior written approval, distribute your Apps to others or otherwise permit or facilitate the use of your Apps by anyone else.

PaceGateway in its sole discretion will determine which API Content and Tools will be made available in the Developer API from time to time, and may impose certain requirements with respect to the use of PaceGateway Brand Features or other intellectual property or proprietary content (collectively, “PaceGateway Property”) in Apps that access or use the Developer API, including, for example, whether an App must be PaceGateway-branded, how PaceGateway Property must appear in an App, how much API Content may be used in an App, and the amount of times particular API Content may be displayed in an App.

The following rules apply to all Apps developed using the Developer API:

  • Approvals. You must submit your App (and any update) to PaceGateway for PaceGateway’s written approval at least 30 days prior to making the App publicly available. A separate written agreement may be required. PaceGateway makes no guarantee whatsoever that it will approve any App for public release or use, or that it will complete its review of an App within 30 days or any other period of time.
  • Attribution; Branding. All Apps must include an approved PaceGateway trademark, logo or other intellectual property (each, an “PaceGateway Mark”).

4. License; Developer Key

Provided that you agree to the Developer API Terms, PaceGateway grants to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable license to access and use the Developer API, related API Content and Tools solely with the client secret or other developer key assigned to you to develop a prototype of software to enable the interaction with your App(s) with the Developer API (the “Developer Key”). You may not (i) sublicense or transfer the foregoing license to any person or entity, (ii) allow any person or entity to access the Developer API, related API Content or Tools, or (iii) use or exploit the Developer API, related API Content or Tools outside of your App. Furthermore, you may only use PaceGateway Property (including PaceGateway Marks) in the manner in which it is provided to you by PaceGateway and in accordance with PaceGateway’s brand guidelines. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by PaceGateway.

PaceGateway may grant or remove a Developer Key for any reason in its sole discretion. Your Developer Key is personal to you, and you may not transfer your Developer Key to any other person or entity without PaceGateway’s prior written approval. You agree that you will not misrepresent or mask either your identity, the identity of your employer, client or other entity on whose behalf you are developing the App when using the Developer API or your PaceGateway developer account. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy and security of your Developer Key, and are responsible for informing us of any changes to the information (such as identification or contact details) that you provided when you registered to receive a Developer Key. PaceGateway will provide to you a link to replace or retrieve your Developer Key if you are unable to remember or use your key.

Some of the software required by or included in the Developer API may be offered under an open source license. If so offered, the open source software and its corresponding license will be identified in the documentation accompanying the Developer API. Open source software licenses constitute separate agreements. To the limited extent that any open source software license expressly supersedes the Developer API Terms, the open source license instead sets forth your agreement with PaceGateway for the applicable open source software.

By accessing or using the Developer API, you grant to PaceGateway a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, fully-paid, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable (in whole or in part) license to use, in all means and media now known or hereafter devised, the information you provide about yourself and your Apps in connection with PaceGateway’s descriptions, marketing or promotion of the Developer API and the Apps developed through it. Furthermore, you permit us to use this information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. If you provide feedback or suggestions about the Developer API, then you grant to PaceGateway (and those persons and entities we allow) a license to use such information without obligation to you. This license does not give PaceGateway the permission to create commercial products out of your name or likeness without first receiving your written approval.

5. Obligations

The following obligations apply to your use of the Developer API, related API Content and Tools:

5.1 Use of PaceGateway Property.

As a condition to launching an App, PaceGateway may require that you use certain PaceGateway Marks or other PaceGateway Property. PaceGateway has sole discretion to determine the PaceGateway Property to be used in connection with a particular App and the terms governing the use of the PaceGateway Property. You may not create derivatives of PaceGateway Property or use the “PaceGateway” name or any other PaceGateway Marks in the title of your App without PaceGateway’s prior written approval. Your use of PaceGateway Property, the Developer API, related API Content and Tools will not (i) imply in any way that PaceGateway endorses your products or services or (ii) portray PaceGateway in a negative manner, in either case as determined by PaceGateway in its sole discretion.

If any third-party names, Brand Features or other intellectual property or proprietary content in any format, including text, images, videos, audio or software (collectively, “Third-Party Content”), are included in your App, you represent that you own or have all necessary rights, licenses, consents and permissions, without the need for any permission from or payment to any other person or entity, to use or exploit such Third-Party Content in your App. You may not imply, in your App or otherwise, that any Third-Party Content is endorsed by PaceGateway.

5.4 Branding; Attribution; Publicity.

Except where expressly stated, the Developer API Terms do not grant to either you or PaceGateway any right, title or interest in or to the other’s Brand Features. You agree to display any attribution required by PaceGateway as described in the Developer API documentation. If PaceGateway has approved your App for public release under the Developer API Terms, PaceGateway grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license while the Developer API Terms are in effect to display PaceGateway’s Brand Features for the purpose of marketing or promoting that you use the Developer API, subject to PaceGateway’s prior written approval of the specific marketing or promotion. You must only use the PaceGateway Brand Features in accordance with the Developer API Terms and for the purpose of fulfilling your obligations under this Section 5.4. In using PaceGateway’s Brand Features, you agree to follow PaceGateway’s brand guidelines. You understand and agree that PaceGateway has the sole discretion to determine whether your attribution and use of PaceGateway’s Brand Features are in accordance with these requirements and brand guidelines.

In the course of marketing, promoting or demonstrating the Developer API and associated Apps, PaceGateway may produce and distribute incidental depictions, including screenshots, video or other content, from your App and may use the name of you and your App. You grant PaceGateway all necessary rights for this purpose.

5.5 Compliance With Applicable Laws.

You agree to maintain your App and your systems in accordance with industry-standard quality levels. You agree that your App will comply with all applicable laws and regulations (including intellectual property, data protection and privacy laws and laws regarding the import or export of data or software) of the United States and other countries, as applicable, and you understand that you are solely responsible for ensuring that your App complies with such laws and regulations and any applicable third-party rights. Furthermore, you will require your end users to comply with, and not knowingly enable them to violate, the Developer API Terms and all other applicable laws and regulations.

The Developer API, related API Content and Tools may be protected by copyrights, trademarks, service marks, international treaties or other intellectual property or proprietary rights.

You agree that your App will comply with all applicable third-party rights, you are solely responsible for ensuring that your App complies with such third-party rights and you will not use the APIs to encourage or promote illegal activity or violation of third-party rights.

5.6 Security.

You agree to access and use the PaceGateway Services, related API Content and Tools in a secure manner consistent with industry security standards and take reasonable measures to avoid introduction into the Developer API or any PaceGateway Service of any virus, trap door, back door, worm, Trojan horse or other harmful computer code, files, scripts, agents, programs, adware, device or other features that may access, alter, delete, damage or disable any hardware, software, information or other property of PaceGateway (collectively, “Harmful Code”). You will report to PaceGateway any violations of the security of your systems that access the Developer API or provide access to API Content or Tools. You agree that PaceGateway may monitor use of the Developer API to ensure quality, improve the PaceGateway Services and verify your compliance with the Developer API Terms and the security measures you have established for your App. This monitoring may, for example, include PaceGateway accessing and using your App to identify security issues that could affect PaceGateway, its member stations or the users of your App. You will not interfere with this monitoring. PaceGateway may use any technical means to overcome such interference. PaceGateway may suspend access to the Developer API by you or your App if PaceGateway reasonably believes that you are in violation of the Developer API Terms.
We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the PaceGateway Services, and any service or material we provide, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the PaceGateway Services is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the PaceGateway Services, or the entire PaceGateway Services, to users, including registered users.

You are responsible for both:

  • Making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the PaceGateway Services.
  • Ensuring that all persons who access the PaceGateway Services through your internet connection are aware of these Developer API Terms of Use and comply with them.

To access the PaceGateway Services or some of the resources it offers, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the PaceGateway Services that all the information you provide on the PaceGateway Services is correct, current, and complete. You agree that all information you provide to register with the PaceGateway Services or otherwise, including, but not limited to, through the use of any interactive features on the PaceGateway Services, is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

If you choose, or are provided with, a user name, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to the PaceGateway Services or portions of it using your user name, password, or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

5.7 User Privacy.

You will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect personal data and user information collected by your App, including any personally identifying 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. 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 App that clearly and accurately describes to users of your App the user information you collect and how you use and share such information with PaceGateway and third parties.

5.8 API Limits.

PaceGateway sets and enforces, in its sole discretion, a “call volume” for the Developer API that limits the number of API requests that you may make or the number of users you may serve. This call volume and related limits, if any, will be specified in the accompanying API documentation. You agree to, and will not attempt to circumvent, these limits. If you would like to use the Developer API in excess of the call volume or beyond the other limits you must obtain PaceGateway’s prior written consent, which may be declined by PaceGateway or conditioned or your agreement to additional terms or fees for exceeding these limits, in PaceGateway’s discretion.

5.9 Prohibited Activities.

Without limiting any of the other limitations on the use of the Developer API specified in the Developer API Terms, you agree that when using the Developer API you and persons acting on your behalf will not:

  1. sublicense the Developer API or your Developer Key for use by a third party, or create an App that functions substantially the same as the Developer API and offer it for use by third parties;
  2. perform an action intended to introduce into the Developer API or any PaceGateway Service any Harmful Code;
  3. interfere with or disrupt the Developer API or the servers or networks providing the Developer API;
  4. reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code from the Developer API or any related software, except to the extent that this restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law;
  5. use the Developer API for the purpose of, or in conjunction with, the unauthorized exploitation of intellectual property rights, the Developer API or the PaceGateway Services;
  6. use the Developer API in any way that is associated with or promotes, encourages, facilitates or condones the illegal or unauthorized use or sharing of audio or audiovisual content, promotes or facilitates unlawful online gambling or disruptive commercial messages or advertisements, or for any other purpose that is fraudulent, misleading or illegal, or is outside the scope of the access granted to you under the Developer API Terms;
  7. use the Developer API in any way that libels, abuses, harasses, stalks or threatens other persons or entities, or that is obscene, malicious or discriminatory or infringes or violates the intellectual property, privacy, publicity or other rights of any persons or entities;
  8. use the Developer API for any activities where the use or failure of the Developer API could lead to death or personal injury;
  9. remove, obscure or alter any PaceGateway terms of use or any links to or notices of such terms; or
  10. include content, tools or other materials in your App that violate the Terms of Use generally applicable to the PaceGateway Services.

6. Confidentiality

Your Developer Key and other developer credentials such as passwords and account IDs are intended to be used by you and to identify your App. You will keep your developer credentials confidential and make reasonable efforts to prevent and discourage other Apps from using your developer credentials. Developer credentials may not be embedded in open source projects.

Our communications to you and the Developer API may contain PaceGateway confidential information. PaceGateway confidential information includes any materials, communications and information that are marked confidential or that would normally be considered confidential under the circumstances. You agree that if you receive any such information you will not disclose it to any third party without PaceGateway’s prior written approval. PaceGateway confidential information does not include information that you independently developed, that was rightfully given to you by a third party without any confidentiality obligation, or that becomes public through no fault of your own. You may disclose PaceGateway confidential information when compelled to do so by law if you provide us with reasonable prior notice to afford PaceGateway sufficient time to oppose such disclosure or seek a protective order, unless a court orders that we not receive notice, and reasonable assistance in opposing such disclosure or seeking a protective order or other limitations on disclosure. You acknowledge that the unauthorized disclosure of PaceGateway confidential information to any third party would immediately and irreparably injure PaceGateway and entitle PaceGateway to an immediate injunction or other equitable relief.

7. Ownership

As between you and PaceGateway, PaceGateway owns all right, title and interest in the Developer API, related API Content, Tools and PaceGateway Property (including PaceGateway Marks), and the Developer API Terms grant you no right, title or interest in any intellectual property or other proprietary content owned or licensed by PaceGateway, including (but not limited to) the Developer API, API Content, Tools and PaceGateway Property (including PaceGateway Marks).

8. Independent Development

You understand and acknowledge that PaceGateway may be independently creating applications, content or other products or services that may be similar to or competitive with your App, and that nothing in the Developer API Terms are or will be construed as restricting or preventing PaceGateway from creating and fully exploiting such applications, content or other products or services, now or in the future, without any obligation to you.

The Developer API Terms are governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of the District of Columbia and the laws of the United States, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to the Developer API Terms will be filed, and that venue properly lies, only in the courts located in the District of Columbia, and you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action; provided, however, that if you are accepting the Developer API Terms on behalf of a United States city, county, or state government entity, then you and PaceGateway agree that the provisions regarding governing law and venue are not made part of the Developer API Terms. Nothing in the Developer API Terms will be construed to limit you or PaceGateway from the ability to seek injunctive relief when appropriate.
