Please take the time to read all the legal language that regulates use of the RewardPal API. RewardPal will work closely with you and help you until your application is operational and ready for your customers:
1. Do not use RewardPal data to target any person with spam or harass any person through unsolicited contact through any communication medium.
2. RewardPal operates in a highly dynamic industry. We cannot anticipate what new technologies or developments will change “the rules of the game.” We only know that change occurs, and that it occurs quickly on the Internet. So, we do expect to periodically, perhaps even regularly, change these Terms of Use.
3. You must properly attribute RewardPal.
4. Do not use the RewardPal API to append a backend customer database. If you wish to assess your customers' influence, please contact us at partner@RewardPal.net.
5. We are constantly evolving and, hopefully, improving RewardPal.net. It is possible that RewardPal’s current or future product road map may overlap with products or features that a developer has already built. This overlap of features occurs in most API communities.
6. You will be assigned a unique RewardPal API Key which must be kept confidential – only one API Key per person or company.
7. You may present RewardPal Data only on a transactional basis. You will not permit your users to access RewardPal Data in bulk or via lists to be used for large-scale targeting.
8. RewardPal data is dynamic and showing out-of-date scores and data is not a good representation of your product or our product. You may only retain copies of RewardPal Data for seven days on your server, cache or database.
9. You may not present the RewardPal Data (or permit RewardPal Data to be presented) so that it appears to be available from a third party Web site.
10. You further agree not to otherwise reproduce, modify, distribute, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer any portion of the RewardPal API or any data provided by RewardPal.
11. You may not use the RewardPal APIs in a manner that exceeds reasonable request volume, constitutes excessive or abusive usage, or otherwise fails to comply or is inconsistent with any part of the RewardPal API documentation located within http://www.RewardPal.net/developer, as determined by RewardPal in its sole discretion.
12. You may not use the RewardPal APIs in any manner or for any purpose that violates any law or regulation, any right of any person, including but not limited to intellectual property rights, rights of privacy, or rights of personality, or in any manner inconsistent with RewardPal.net Terms of Use, Privacy Policy or these Terms of Use.
Thank you for being part of RewardPal. If you have any questions, contact us at partner@RewardPal.net. We welcome you and look forward to working with you.
