Use of API
1.1 - Order Terms; Effective Date

Pricing, fees, usage parameters and/or other specifics and details for Partner’s access to or use of the API shall be as set forth in the applicable quote, order form, addendum or similar document or communication provided by or on behalf of Tratta and accepted by Partner (including, if applicable, Tratta’s order terms webpage accompanying or cross-referenced where and when Partner registers or signs up for the API), or if not otherwise set forth in any such formal document, webpage or communication, such pricing fees and/or other specifics and details shall be in accordance with Tratta’s standard published pricing and terms for the API (any of the foregoing, as applicable, being the “Order”). All applicable Orders for Partner shall be subject to and otherwise incorporated into these API Terms of Use. Unless otherwise agreed to by Tratta in writing, any terms in a purchase order or other communication or document provided by Partner will be null and void.  The “Effective Date” of this API Terms of Use shall be the earlier to occur of the date Partner first accepts or agrees to the Order or this API Terms of Use, or the date Partner first uses or accesses the API.

1.2 - API Access and Use
  • API Usage Parameters.  Partner may use the API (including without limitation any data and information obtained therefrom) solely in accordance with the usage parameters set forth in the applicable Order. Without limiting the foregoing:

    Qualified Partner Services. Partner may only use the API (including any data and information obtained therefrom) for purposes of implementing and providing the specific Partner services specified in the Order and in any event only services that Partner provides to its customers, users and clients generally in the ordinary course of Partner’s business (“Qualified Partner Services”).
    Qualified Users. Partner may only use the API (including any data and information obtained therefrom) for purposes of implementing and providing Qualified Partner Services to Partner’s customers, users and clients that meet the following criteria: (i) they are also customers, users or clients of Tratta whose data is contained within Tratta’s Services, (ii) they are listed or described in the Order, if applicable, and (ii) they have been given all notices and provided all consents required for their associated data and information to be provided to and obtained by Partner through and using the API  (“Qualified Users”).
    Qualified Data. Partner may access, upload, retrieve or otherwise obtain only that data and information from, through or using the API that meets the following criteria: (i) such data and information is described or listed in the Order, if applicable, (ii) such data and information is tied to a Qualified User receiving Qualified Partner Services from Partner, (iii) such data and information is required for Partner to provide the Qualified Partner Services to such Qualified User, and (iv) such data and information falls within the scope of any required notices and consents given to and obtained from such Qualified User (“Qualified Data”).
    New Partner services, users and data may be added to any list of Qualified Partner Services, Qualified Users and/or Qualified Data in the Order if applicable (without limiting the other qualifications and requirements above), upon reasonable written request from Partner, subject to Tratta’s prior written approval in its discretion on a case-by-case basis.
  • API License. Subject to these API Terms of Use, Tratta grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable and limited license to use and make calls to the API solely for purposes of implementing and providing your Qualified Partner Services for Qualified Users, in any event in the manner described in, and solely during the term of, these API Terms of Use.  Partner has no rights to, and shall not, access, download, retrieve or otherwise obtain any data and information from, through or using the API that is not Qualified Data.
  • Unpaid Fees. If Tratta is not able to process payment of Fees using the Authorized Bank or Tratta otherwise fails to receive any Fees when due, Tratta may notify Customer. If after such notice to Customer, Tratta is still not able to process payment of Fees using the Authorized Bank (or does not otherwise receive such Fees within three days of such notice), then Tratta may suspend the Services and revoke Customer’s access to the administrative console for the Platform(s). Access will be reactivated upon payment of any outstanding Fees plus $50 per failed/late/returned attempt prior to the successful payment. During any period of suspension, Customer will not be able to access the administrative console for the Platform(s), and the online Platform(s) will not be accessible by users. If the outstanding Fees remain unpaid for 30 days following the date of suspension, Tratta reserves the right to terminate this Terms of Service. Any unpaid Fees (excluding amounts reasonably disputed by Customer in good faith) will bear interest at the rate of $25 or 2.5% per month (whichever is greater), or, if less, the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Customer shall pay all reasonable expenses (including attorney’s fees and court costs) incurred by Tratta in collecting unpaid Fees, excluding amounts reasonably disputed by Customer in good faith.

Tratta may set and enforce additional limits on your use of the API (e.g., limiting the number of requests that you may make or the number of Qualified Users you may serve), in Tratta’s discretion upon prior written notice or as publicly posted by Tratta on its website (or as otherwise specified in an Order). You agree to, and will not attempt to circumvent such limitations. If you would like to use the API beyond these limits, you must obtain Tratta’s prior written consent.

2.3 - Data Rules, Restrictions and Compliance
  • General Rules. Partner will not use the API Data in any way that is not explicitly and accurately disclosed to and, to the extent required, consented by, the Qualified User to which the API Data relates.  Partner will not copy the API Data except to the limited extent necessary to provide the Qualified Partner Services to Qualified Users in accordance with these API Terms of Use. The Qualified Partner Services shall not have the purpose, function or effect of transferring, sharing, selling, disclosing or otherwise providing any API Data to any third party other than the Qualified User to which such API Data relates.  Partner will ensure that its employees, agents and service providers comply with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.

Partner shall take all organizational and technical measures necessary to ensure sufficient protection of, and prevent unauthorized use, destruction, modification, access or disclosure of, the API Data. To the extent reasonably possible, all API Data shall be stored and transferred in encrypted and/or pseudonymized form. Partner’s networks, operating system and software of your web servers, routers, databases, and computer systems involved in the Qualified Partner Services (collectively, “Partner System”) must be properly configured to Internet industry standards so as to securely operate the Qualified Partner Services and protect against unauthorized access to, disclosure or use of any API Data.

YOU AGREE THAT TRATTA MAY MONITOR USE OF THE TRATTA API TO ENSURE QUALITY, IMPROVE TRATTA PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND VERIFY YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH THESE API TERMS OF USE. This monitoring may include Tratta accessing and using your Qualified Partner Services, for example to identify security issues that could affect Tratta or Tratta’s systems. You will not interfere with this monitoring.
