You may not avail Yourself of the Beehively API, Website or Services if You do not accept this Agreement and the terms therein. You accept the terms of the Agreement by clicking to accept, by agreeing to the terms of the Agreement in the user interface for any Beehively Service, or by using the Beehively API or Services. In the latter case, You understand and agree that we will treat Your use of the Services as acceptance of the terms from that point onwards.

By putting a check mark next to I AGREE and clicking on SUBMIT or using the API or Services, You represent that You have read and agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which also include and incorporate Beehively’s Acceptable Use Policy, and Privacy Policy. These terms and conditions will remain in effect throughout Your use of the Services and continue after this Agreement expires, cancels or is terminated. These terms and conditions are legally binding should You choose to register for the Service. You may not use the API or Services and may not accept the terms if (a) You are not of legal age to form a binding contract with us, or (b) You are a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws of the United States or other countries including the country in which You are resident or from which You use the Services.

The terms and conditions set forth herein may be amended in our sole and absolute discretion from time to time, and such amended terms and conditions shall be effective immediately upon posting to the Website. Your continued use of the Service after such posting will constitute acceptance by You of such amendments. It is Your responsibility to review these Terms of Service frequently and remain informed about any changes to them, so we encourage You to visit this page often.

1. Grant of Rights to Use Services

1.1 Subject to Your acceptance of and compliance with this Agreement and with the payment requirements for the Services, Beehively hereby grants You a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, non-sub-licenseable right and license, in and under our intellectual property rights, to access and use the Services, solely in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features provided by Beehively that augment or enhance the current Services shall also constitute “Services” and shall be subject to these terms and conditions. You may not, nor allow any third party to, copy, distribute, sell, disclose, lend, transfer, convey, modify, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the Services for any purpose whatsoever. You may not allow any unauthorized third party to access the Services for any purpose whatsoever. All rights not expressly granted under this Agreement are retained by Beehively.

1.2 You may write a software application or Website (an "Application") that interfaces with the Services. You acknowledge that we may change, deprecate or republish APIs for any Service or feature of a Service from time to time, and that it is Your responsibility to ensure that calls or requests You make to or via our Service are compatible with then-current APIs for the Service. Beehively will attempt to inform You of any changes with reasonable notice so You can adjust Your Application, but we are under no obligation to do so.

1.3 You and any Applications that You may build, distribute, or otherwise create may make network calls or requests to the Services, or may receive phone calls via the Service, at any time that the Services are available provided that those requests do not violate the terms of the Acceptable Use Policy or other terms of this Agreement.

1.4 You may not remove, obscure, or alter any notice of any Beehively trademark, service mark or other intellectual property or proprietary right appearing on the Website or contained within the Services.

1.5 Provided that You comply with the terms of this Agreement and our policies and procedures including the Acceptable Use Policy, You may use the Services to execute Applications owned or lawfully obtained by You. You are solely responsible for Your Applications, including any data, text, images or content contained therein.

1.6 You are personally responsible for all traffic originating from Your Applications using Your account credentials to the Services. As such, You should protect Your authentication keys and security credentials. Actions taken using Your credentials shall be deemed to be actions taken by You, with all consequences including service termination, civil and criminal penalties.

1.7 We may make available to You, for Your installation, copying and/or use in connection with the Services, from time to time, a variety of software, data and other content and printed and electronic documentation (the "Beehively Properties"). Subject to Your acceptance of this Agreement, ongoing compliance with its terms and conditions with respect to the subject Service, and payment if and as required for Your right to use the subject Service, we hereby grant to You, without the right to sub-license, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license during the Term of this Agreement (as defined in Section 2.1), under our intellectual property or proprietary rights in the Beehively Properties, only to install, copy and use the Beehively Properties solely in connection with and as necessary for Your use of such Services and solely to the extent in compliance with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(a) The Beehively Properties may include, without limitation:

  • The Beehively Website;
  • Beehively APIs and Beehively Markup Language;
  • Specifications describing the operational and functional capabilities, use limitations, technical and engineering requirements, and testing and performance criteria relevant to the proper use of a Service and its related APIs and technology;

(b) Beehively may make available under another license agreement, such as an open source agreement, additional content or software. Any such content or software will be clearly marked with such a license indicating the usage rights available for that content or software. For such content or software released pursuant to an open license, Beehively encourages You to modify, alter, tamper with, repair and/or create derivative works consistent with such license. Such content or software may include:

  • Developer tools, such as software development kits or sample code, for use in connection with the APIs;

1.8 For purposes of this Agreement, Beehively hereby grants to You a non-transferable, non-sub-licenseable, non-exclusive license during the Term of this Agreement to display the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names of Beehively (each, a “Beehively Mark”) for the purpose of promoting or advertising that You use the Service. In return You hereby grant Beehively a non-transferable, non-sub-licenseable, non-exclusive license during the Term of this Agreement to display Your trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names and the like for the purpose of promoting or advertising that You use the Service. In using Beehively Marks, You may not: (i) display a Beehively Mark in any manner that implies a relationship or affiliation with, sponsorship, or endorsement by Beehively; (ii) use Beehively’s Marks to disparage Beehively or its products or services; or (iii) display a Beehively Mark on a site that violates any law or regulation. Notwithstanding the above, Beehively may determine in its sole discretion whether its marks may be used in connection with Your Application. Furthermore, we may modify any Beehively Marks provided to You at any time, and upon notice, You will use only the modified Beehively Marks and not the old Beehively Marks. Other than as specified in this Agreement, You may not use any Beehively Mark unless You obtain our prior written consent.

1.9 The rights granted by us in this Agreement with respect to the Beehively Properties, the Beehively Marks and the Services are nonexclusive, and we reserve the right to: (i) act as a developer of products or services related to any of the products that You may develop in connection with the Beehively Properties or via Your use of the Services; and (ii) appoint third parties as developers or systems integrators who may offer products or services which compete with Your Application.

Your right to take advantage of any such assistance, whether generally made available with respect to the Services or made available uniquely to You, shall be conditioned upon Your acceptance of and compliance with any fees and terms we specify for such assistance.

3. Downtime and Service Suspensions; Security

3.1In addition to our rights to terminate or suspend Services to You as described in Section 2 above, You acknowledge that: (i) Your access to and use of the Services may be suspended for the duration of any unanticipated or unscheduled downtime or unavailability of any portion or all of the Services for any reason, including as a result of power outages, system failures or other interruptions; and (ii) we shall also be entitled, without any liability to You, to suspend access to any portion or all of the Services at any time, on a Service-wide basis: (a) for scheduled downtime to permit us to conduct maintenance or make modifications to any Service; (b) in the event of a denial of service attack or other attack on the Service or other event that we determine, in our sole discretion, may create a risk to the applicable Service, to You or to any of our other customers if the Service were not suspended; or (c) in the event that we determine that any Service is prohibited by law or we otherwise determine that it is necessary or prudent to do so for legal or regulatory reasons (collectively, "Service Suspensions").

If the suspension of service exceeds 5 days, You will be eligible for a credit for fees to the extent that services were not available to You during the suspension period. To obtain a credit, You must submit a Service Credit Request to Beehively initiated by contacting support@beehively.com for instructions.
