Yotpo App Developer Terms

Thank you for choosing to develop a publicly or commercially accessible integration (“App”) on the Yotpo Platform. When you choose to develop an App using the Yotpo Developer Assets (as that term is defined in Section 1, below), you agree to be bound by the following terms, so please read them carefully. 

These Yotpo Developer Terms (the “Terms“) are a binding agreement between you and Yotpo Ltd and its affiliates and assigns (“we” or “Yotpo“).  In these Terms, you are referred to as “you” or “Developer”. By accepting these Terms,  either by accessing or using the Yotpo Developer Assets, or authorizing or permitting any individual to access or use the Yotpo Developer Assets, You agree to be bound by these Terms. 

  If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company, organization or another legal entity (an “Entity“), you are agreeing to these Terms for that Entity and representing to Yotpo that you have the authority to bind such Entity to these Terms, in which case the terms “you” or “Developer” shall refer to such Entity. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with these Terms, you must not enter into these Terms or use the Yotpo Developer Assets.  

1. Developer Assets. Yotpo makes available certain APIs, software development kits (SDKs), and cloud-based development tools (collectively, “Yotpo Developer Assets“) for use with its products and services (“Yotpo Products“). Yotpo also makes available the Yotpo Developer Guidelines at https://develop.yotpo.com/docs/welcome (“Developer Guidelines“), which include directions and guidelines for use of the Yotpo Developer Assets and which may be modified by Yotpo from time to time. Except where noted, references to any Yotpo Developer Assets include the related Developer Guidelines.
2. Registration. You agree to follow the registration or credentialing requirements (if any) established by Yotpo for access to the Yotpo Developer Assets. All Yotpo Developer Assets access keys or developer credentials are Yotpo’s confidential information and may not be shared with third parties.
3. Yotpo Customer Agreement. Use of Yotpo Products requires a valid license or subscription with Yotpo subject the applicable Yotpo terms of service (“Yotpo Customer Agreement“). You will not facilitate or encourage anyone to violate the Yotpo Customer Agreement or interfere with any third party’s review or acceptance of the Yotpo Customer Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, your use of the Yotpo Developer Assets is subject to these Terms, not the Yotpo Customer Agreement.  If you use Yotpo Products as a customer, that use remains subject to the Yotpo Customer Agreement.
4. Customers and End Users. You may be developing Apps (as defined below) for or on behalf of brands that use Yotpo pursuant to a Yotpo Customer Agreement (each a “Customer” collectively “Customers”). Furthermore, you or Customers may use the Apps in such a way that results in the Apps retrieving certain data (including without limitation, personal data) content or information from Yotpo Products (“End User Data”) relating to the Customer’s end users (“End Users”).  
5. Your Use Rights. Subject to these Terms, you may use the Yotpo Developer Assets to enable products and services (“Apps”) to access or interface with Yotpo Products to be made available to third parties, but only as permitted by the relevant Developer Guidelines. All of your use rights in these Terms (including your rights to use Yotpo Marks below) are limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicenseable and non-transferable. You may, however, permit your agents and contractors to exercise your use rights on your behalf, provided that you remain responsible for their compliance with these Terms.
6. Conditions on Use. As conditions on your use rights, you agree not to (and not to authorize any third party to): (a) use the Yotpo Developer Assets except with the related Yotpo Products and in accordance with the Developer Guidelines; (b) modify or create any derivative works of the Yotpo Developer Assets (except to the extent the Apps are deemed derivative works under applicable law); (c) take any action that would subject the Yotpo Developer Assets to any third party terms, including without limitation any “open source” software license terms; (d) make any calls to the Yotpo Developer Assets that are not driven by a request from an App user or the App itself, other than as part of reasonable testing of your Apps with the Yotpo Developer Assets; (e) copy, frame or display any elements of the Yotpo Products through the Apps or use the Yotpo Developer Assets with Apps that substantially replicate any features or functionality of Yotpo Products, except as expressly authorized by Yotpo in writing; (f) copy, distribute, sell, sublicense, rent or lease the Yotpo Developer Assets or any access key provided by Yotpo or use such items for hosting, service provider or like purposes; or (g) access the Yotpo Developer Assets for competitive analysis or disseminate performance information (including uptime, response time and/or benchmarks) relating to the Yotpo Developer Assets or Yotpo Products. From time to time, Yotpo may place limits on access to the Yotpo Developer Assets (e.g., limits on numbers of calls or requests or limits on access to certain Yotpo Developer Assets). Further, Yotpo may monitor your usage of the Yotpo Developer Assets and limit the number of calls or requests you may make if Yotpo believes that your usage is in breach of these Terms or may negatively affect the Yotpo platform (or otherwise impose liability on Yotpo).
7. Use of Yotpo Marks. Subject to these Terms, you may use the appropriate Yotpo names, logos and trademarks (“Yotpo Marks“) to promote your Apps as compatible with the relevant Yotpo Products. Your use of Yotpo Marks must comply with any Yotpo trademark guidelines made available to you (without limiting Yotpo’s other termination rights) and be approved in advance of use by Yotpo. You must promptly cease any use of Yotpo Marks when requested by Yotpo. You may not register any domain name containing Yotpo Marks, the word “Yotpo” or the name of any Yotpo Product (or anything confusingly similar) unless otherwise agreed by Yotpo in writing. You also agree not to contest the validity of ownership of any Yotpo Marks. All goodwill arising from use of Yotpo Marks inures to Yotpo.
8. Use of Your Marks; Your Ownership Rights. Yotpo may (but is not obligated to) use your name, logos and other trademarks (including those related to the Apps) to identify you as a Yotpo developer and to promote your Apps and Yotpo Products. Yotpo receives no other rights to your trademarks under these Terms. All goodwill arising from use of your trademarks belongs to you. For clarity, nothing in these Terms assigns ownership of your Apps or intellectual property rights to Yotpo.

22. General. These Terms are the parties’ entire agreement and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements relating to its subject matter.

Developer may not assign, transfer or delegate any right or obligations under these Terms and any non-permitted assignment is void.

Each party submits to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts for New York, NY. Yotpo will not be liable to Developer for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events that are beyond its reasonable control.
