Summary

You may not create an Application that competes with or merely replicates Citrus-Lime, or any Citrus-Lime Covered Services.

You are responsible for your use of the Citrus-Lime APIs and your application.

You agree to use appropriate security measures to protect any data you obtain from Citrus-Lime.

Citrus-Lime makes no warranties and Citrus-Lime is not liable for your use of the APIs.

Your Application must comply with the Citrus-Lime APIs Agreement, your privacy policy, and all applicable laws. Citrus-Lime may conduct an audit to ensure your Application’s ongoing compliance.

 

Registration

By using any Citrus-Lime API, you agree to this Agreement.

Registration is completed by sending Citrus-Lime an API Key Request Form, this will be reviewed by Citrus-Lime before your API Key will be provided.

Once your registration is complete, you are authorized to use the Citrus-Lime APIs to develop products, sites, applications, or services that are registered with us and are designed to interact with and enhance the Citrus-Lime Platform subject to the restrictions, conditions, and limitations in this Agreement.

Citrus-Lime may require you to renew your registration from time to time or to provide additional information to maintain or increase your access to the Citrus-Lime APIs. To use the Citrus-Lime APIs you must use the approved key provided by Citrus-Lime (“API Key”). You may only use a single API Key for a single Application.

We can provide a “test” API Key, this will be linked to a “demo” group but will still reside within the Citrus-Lime production environment. You must only develop and test applications against a “test” API key accessing a “demo” group.

You are solely responsible for the confidentiality of your API Key and may not share your API Key with any other developer or use it for more than one Application or service. You agree to keep your registration, site, application, or service information accurate, complete, and current for so long as you use the Citrus-Lime API. You are responsible for all use that occurs under your API Key, including any activities by you or your employees, contractors, agents, or Service Providers. If you believe an unauthorized person has gained access to your API Key we issue you, you must notify us as soon as possible.

Citrus-Lime may contact you from time to time about your use of the Citrus-Lime APIs and/or API Key, and you agree to be responsive to enquiries from Citrus-Lime.

We may restrict access to the APIs or perform an audit of your Application if you fail to provide adequate information and materials to verify your compliance with this Agreement.

 

Data Protection

You agree to comply with and will continue to comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws.

For the purposes of Article 26 of the GDPR, the parties acknowledge that each party is a separate and independent controller of the personal data which it discloses or receives under this Agreement.

Developers

Once you have created an Application for a Customer if you wish to use this application to provide services to other Citrus-Lime Customers, then you must receive written permission to do so and the Application must be offered thru our ‘Cloud POS Marketplace’.

Written Permission will be provided at Citrus-Lime's discretion and maybe revoked at any time, at which point access to the API platform will be removed for your Application. See Cancelation and Termination.

Service Providers

You must ensure that any Service Provider you engage:

·        Uses data solely for you and at your direction to provide services you requested in a manner that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, all other applicable terms and policies, your privacy policy, and for no other individual or entity and for no other purpose, including for the Service Provider’s own purposes.

·        In the event the Service Provider engages another Service Provider (“Sub-Service Provider”) to provide the services requested, requires the Sub-Service Provider to comply with the above requirements.

·        Upon our request, you must provide a list of your Service Providers and Sub-Service Providers. We may prohibit your use of any Service Provider or Sub-Service Provider in connection with your use of APIs if we believe that:
