Our Rights to Suspend Access and Audit
We reserve the right to audit your application and/or immediately suspend your access to ensure it and/or you do not violate this Agreement. You agree that you will cooperate with inquiries related to such an audit and provide us with proof that your application complies with our terms and policies.
We also reserve the right to limit the number of periodic API calls you make. We may suspend your access to the API if you exceed the API call limits. Attempts to circumvent the API call limits may result in the termination of this Agreement.
Ownership and Proprietary Rights
You retain your ownership rights in your Application. We own and will continue to own our APIs and associated products and services, including all related intellectual property rights therein. All of our rights not expressly granted by the Agreement are hereby retained.
If you send us any feedback or suggestions regarding the APIs or documentation, you grant us an unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable, transferable, royalty-free license to use any such feedback or suggestions for any purpose without any obligation or compensation to you.
Termination
You may terminate the Agreement by discontinuing use of our APIs. We may terminate the Agreement with or without cause, and without notice to you. Upon termination of the Agreement, all rights and licenses granted to you will terminate immediately and you shall make no further use of the API. You understand that any APIs or documentation that are not made generally available but that are otherwise made available to you are our confidential information. Upon termination of the Agreement, you will promptly destroy copies of any documentation and any other Blueprint information in your possession or control that was received under the Agreement.
Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APIS AND ALL RELATED COMPONENTS AND INFORMATION ARE PROVIDED BY US ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APIS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.
Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE BLUEPRINT AFFILIATES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY) EXCEED US$100.
IN NO EVENT WILL THE BLUEPRINT AFFILIATES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY, LOSS OF DATA, LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, COVER, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU OR THE THIRD PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
The limitations under this “Limitation of Liability” section apply with respect to all legal theories, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, and to the extent permitted by law. The provisions of this “Limitation of Liability” section allocate the risks under the Agreement between the parties, and the parties have relied on these limitations in determining whether to enter into the Agreement.
Indemnification
You will defend, hold harmless, and indemnify us and the Blueprint Affiliates from any claim or action brought by a third party, including all damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent resulting from, alleged to have resulted from, or in connection with: (a) your breach of your obligations under the Agreement; (b) the alleged violation of any copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret, or patent related to your use of the API; or (c) your Application or use of the API.
Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding section, (a) we will always be free to choose our own counsel if we pay for the cost of such counsel; and (b) no settlement may be entered into by you, without our express written consent, if: (i) the third party asserting the claim is a government agency, (ii) the settlement arguably involves the making of admissions, (iii) the settlement does not include a full release of liability, or (iv) the settlement includes terms other than a full release of liability and the payment of money.
