License and Conditions of Use

This License and Conditions of Use outlines the rules and permissions governing your access to and interaction with our outbound API. Our platform is designed to facilitate the secure and efficient exchange of product data entered by manufacturers, making it available to their distributors and retailers for legitimate business purposes.

License Grant

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, and revocable license to access and use the API exclusively for the purpose of retrieving product data as provided by our manufacturer customers. This license is intended to support the operational needs of distributors and retailers within the scope of their partnerships with manufacturers. It does not authorize you to redistribute, modify, sell, or otherwise exploit the data for purposes beyond what is expressly permitted, unless you have obtained explicit written consent from us or the relevant manufacturer.

Conditions of Use

To ensure a fair and stable experience for all users, your use of the API must adhere to the following conditions:

• Caching Requirements: API responses are cached to optimize performance. General data responses are cached for 5 minutes, while pricing and availability data, which require more frequent updates, are cached for 1 minute. These intervals are non-negotiable, and you must design your systems to respect them, avoiding any attempts to force refreshes outside of these windows.
• Rate Limiting Measures: We monitor API usage to prevent strain on our infrastructure. If your activity—such as sending an unusually high volume of requests or engaging in disruptive behavior—is deemed abusive, we may throttle your response rates to maintain service quality for all users. This is a proactive measure to safeguard the platform’s reliability.
• Access Termination Rights: In cases of significant or repeated abuse, we reserve the right to temporarily suspend or permanently revoke your access to the API. This decision rests solely with us and may be enacted without prior notice if the abuse poses an immediate risk to the platform, its users, or its data integrity.

Additional Information

We may periodically revise this License and Conditions of Use to adapt to evolving business needs, technological advancements, or regulatory changes. Updated versions will be made available through our API documentation, and your continued use of the API signifies your agreement to those updates. For the most current information or to address any questions, please consult our website via the link provided in the documentation.
