The services available on the Platform may, from time to time, contain or be accompanied by or operate in accordance with other programs or platforms, including open source programs, which are governed by or the property of third parties (“Third Party Programs”). Any terms for the use of Third Party Programs will be provided with or accessible through the Platform or the Third Party Program. Third Party Programs may require You to agree to their terms and as such, by using the VenueSumo Services, You are taken to have accepted the terms for use of such Third Party Programs and agree and represent that You will continue to abide by the terms of the Third Party Programs for the duration of Your use of Our Platform.

2A. Use of the VenueSumo API
2A.1 API access is separately ordered. Access to the API is not included in the VenueSumo Services unless and until an API Order Form has been agreed between You and Us. Access to the API is conditional on: (a) an API Order Form being in effect; (b) payment of any Fees specified in that API Order Form; and (c) Your continuing compliance with these Terms and the API Documentation. We may decline any request for API access, or for any particular scope, endpoint or environment, in Our absolute discretion.
2A.2 Licence grant. Subject to clause 2A.1 and for the duration of the relevant API Order Form, We grant You a non-exclusive, limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-assignable and non-sublicensable right to access and use the API and the API Documentation solely for the Permitted API Purpose. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Us. No licence, right or interest in any Intellectual Property Rights in the API, the API Documentation or the Platform is granted to You except as expressly set out in this clause 2A.
2A.3 Permitted API Purpose. The “Permitted API Purpose” means the use of the API by You, or by an Approved Integrator on Your behalf, solely for Your own internal business purposes in operating the venues identified in Your Software Subscription Agreement, being:
- retrieving Output Data for Your internal reporting, business intelligence, data warehousing and analytics purposes;
- exchanging Output Data with third party applications and systems used by You in the operation of Your venues;
- creating, reading, updating or cancelling records within Your own account, where the relevant endpoint and scope have been enabled for You; and
- any additional purpose expressly stated in Your API Order Form.
2A.4 API Credentials. We will issue API Credentials to You following approval of Your request. You must: (a) keep all API Credentials confidential and treat them as Our Confidential Information; (b) maintain a separate set of API Credentials for each distinct application, environment or Integrator; (c) not embed API Credentials in any client-side application, mobile application, browser code, public repository or open source project; (d) rotate API Credentials at least every twelve (12) months and immediately on the departure or disengagement of any person or Integrator with knowledge of them; and (e) notify Us in writing within twenty-four (24) hours of becoming aware of any actual or suspected compromise, loss or unauthorised use of any API Credentials. You are responsible for all activity conducted using Your API Credentials, whether or not authorised by You.
2A.5 API Limits and fair use. Your use of the API must at all times comply with the API Limits. We may set, vary, apply and enforce API Limits in Our reasonable discretion, including differential limits by endpoint, environment, tier or customer. Current API Limits are published in the API Documentation and, where specified, in Your API Order Form. You must not, and must not permit any Integrator to, take any step designed to circumvent, avoid or exceed an API Limit, including by rotating credentials, distributing requests across accounts or IP addresses, or using multiple client identifiers for a single application. Where Your requirements exceed the applicable API Limits, You must obtain Our prior written consent, which We may withhold or condition on Your acceptance of additional terms or Fees.
2A.6 Integrators. You may authorise an Integrator to access the API on Your behalf only where: (a) You have notified Us of the identity of the Integrator in writing and We have approved it (an “Approved Integrator”); (b) the Integrator has entered into the VenueSumo API Terms of Use; and (c) You have a written agreement with the Integrator containing obligations at least as protective of Us as this clause 2A. You remain fully responsible and liable for all acts and omissions of every Integrator as if they were Your own, and an act or omission of an Integrator that would be a breach of these Terms if done by You is a breach of these Terms by You. We may withdraw approval of an Integrator on reasonable notice, or immediately where We reasonably consider the Integrator poses a security, availability, compliance or commercial risk.
2A.7 API restrictions. In addition to the restrictions in clause 4, You must not, and must not permit any User or Integrator to:
- use the API, the API Documentation or any Output Data to build, support, benchmark against, or assist any third party to build or support, any product or service that competes with the VenueSumo Services;
- resell, sublicense, distribute, rent, lease or otherwise make the API or Output Data available to any third party, or use the API on behalf of any third party, including in any time-sharing, outsourcing, bureau or managed service arrangement, except through an Approved Integrator acting for You;
- access the API other than through the documented endpoints, using the authentication methods described in the API Documentation;
- scrape, crawl, harvest or bulk-extract data from the Platform other than through the API and within the API Limits;
- conduct any penetration test, vulnerability scan or load test against the API or the Platform without Our prior written consent;
- misrepresent or mask the identity of the application, the Integrator or the origin of any API request, or forge or manipulate headers or identifiers; or
- use the API in a manner that, in Our reasonable opinion, places excessive load on, or causes material congestion to, the Platform, or that degrades or is likely to degrade the availability or performance of the VenueSumo Services for other customers, or that is abnormal or excessive by comparison with the use made by Our other customers on a comparable Subscription Plan.
2A.8 Artificial intelligence and model training. You must not, and must not permit any User or Integrator to, use the API, the API Documentation or any Output Data to train, fine-tune, retrain, evaluate, benchmark or otherwise develop or improve any artificial intelligence or machine learning model, or to generate synthetic data derived from Output Data for any such purpose, without Our prior written consent. This clause does not restrict Your use of artificial intelligence tools to operate, analyse or support Your own business using Output Data, provided that (a) no Output Data is retained, used or disclosed by the provider of those tools for training purposes; and (b) Your use complies with clause 10 and all applicable data protection laws.
2A.9 Output Data and ownership. As between You and Us: (a) You retain all right, title and interest in Data, and nothing in this clause 2A grants Us any additional rights in Data beyond those in clauses 11 and 12; and (b) We retain all right, title and interest in VenueSumo Platform Data and in the API, the API Documentation and the Platform. We grant You a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use VenueSumo Platform Data solely to the extent necessary for the Permitted API Purpose during the term of Your API Order Form. You must not use VenueSumo Platform Data for benchmarking or competitive analysis, for the benefit of any competitor of Ours, or to create datasets for sale, licensing or distribution to any third party.
2A.10 Personal information. Where Output Data includes personal information, You are the entity responsible for determining the purposes for which and the manner in which that personal information is processed once it leaves the Platform. You must ensure that: (a) Your collection notices, privacy policy and any consents obtained from Your customers extend to the disclosure of personal information to, and its use by, You and each Integrator; (b) each Integrator is bound by written obligations no less protective than those imposed on Us under clause 10; and (c) You do not use the API to extract personal information in a manner that exceeds what is reasonably necessary for the Permitted API Purpose. You indemnify Us against all Claims arising from any breach of this clause 2A.10.
2A.11 No availability commitment for the API. Notwithstanding clause 6 and any other provision of these Terms: (a) the availability, performance, replication, recovery point and backup commitments in clause 6 do not apply to the API; (b) the API is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis; (c) We do not warrant that the API will be available, uninterrupted, error free, or that it will meet any particular latency, throughput or response-time standard; and (d) We are not liable for any Claim arising from the unavailability, degradation, latency, throttling, suspension, error, or change to or discontinuance of the API. No service level, service credit or availability commitment applies to the API unless expressly agreed in an API Order Form and identified as such.
2A.12 Versioning, deprecation and change. We may add to, modify, deprecate, discontinue or replace any part of the API, any endpoint, field or scope, and any version of the API, at any time. Where a change is a Breaking Change, We will give You not less than twelve (12) months’ written notice before the affected version is withdrawn, and will support the superseded version for that period. Where a change is not a Breaking Change, We will give You not less than ninety (90) days’ notice, or such shorter notice as is reasonable in the circumstances. We may make any change to the API immediately and without notice where reasonably necessary to address a security vulnerability, to comply with law, to respond to a change imposed by a third party provider, or to protect the integrity or availability of the Platform.
2A.13 Monitoring, throttling and suspension. We may monitor Your use of the API for security, capacity, billing and compliance purposes, and You must not interfere with that monitoring. Without limiting clause 16, We may immediately and without prior notice throttle, rate-limit, restrict the scope of, or suspend Your access to the API (in whole or in part) where We reasonably consider that Your use: (a) exceeds or circumvents the API Limits; (b) poses a risk to the security, integrity, availability or performance of the Platform or to other customers; (c) breaches clause 2A.7 or 2A.8; or (d) involves API Credentials that are or may be compromised. Action taken under this clause 2A.13 is not a suspension for the purposes of the notice and cure provisions in clause 16, and We are not liable to You for any such action. We will notify You as soon as reasonably practicable after taking action under this clause and will restore access promptly once the relevant risk has been addressed.
2A.14 Flow-down. Where Output Data is made available by You, or by an Integrator on Your behalf, to any third party, or where the API is used in connection with any website or application operated by You, You must ensure that the terms governing that website, application or disclosure: (a) prohibit reverse engineering, decompilation and any attempt to derive the source code of the Platform; (b) prevent any title in the Platform passing to any third party; (c) disclaim all express and implied warranties in respect of the Platform and the VenueSumo Services; (d) exclude Our liability for direct, indirect, incidental and consequential loss; and (e) name Us as an intended third party beneficiary entitled to enforce paragraphs (a) to (d).
2A.15 Effect of termination. On expiry or termination of an API Order Form or of these Terms for any reason: (a) all rights granted under this clause 2A cease immediately; (b) We may revoke all API Credentials; and (c) You must, and must procure that each Integrator must, within thirty (30) days, delete or destroy all VenueSumo Platform Data in its possession or control and certify that deletion in writing if We request it. For the avoidance of doubt, Your right under clause 11 to retrieve, export or migrate Data during the sixty (60) day period following termination is a right to use the export functionality of the Platform and does not of itself entitle You to continued API access. We may, in Our discretion and on such terms as We consider appropriate, permit API access to continue during that period.
2A.16 Fees. Fees for API access are as set out in Your API Order Form and may include a periodic access fee, an included volume allowance, charges for usage in excess of that allowance, charges for additional environments, endpoints or scopes, and charges for API support and integration assistance. Clauses 7 and 8 apply to those Fees. Where Your usage exceeds an included allowance, We may invoice the excess in arrears in accordance with Our then-current rate card.
2A.17 Indemnity. The releases and indemnities given by You in clauses 2, 4, 10, 11 and 13 extend to all Claims arising directly or indirectly from: (a) any use of the API by You, any User, any Integrator or any person using Your API Credentials; (b) any breach of this clause 2A; and (c) any act or omission of an Integrator. This clause 2A.17 survives termination.

Limited access to Users
You must limit access to the VenueSumo Services to Your Personnel, and other persons that have been authorised by You to access and use the VenueSumo Services on Your behalf, in accordance with the applicable Subscription Plan (“User”). You must use all reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorised access to or use of the VenueSumo Services by any person who is not a User and must promptly notify Us if You discover any such unauthorised access or use.
You must ensure all Users who access and use the VenueSumo Services are made aware of and comply with these Terms as if they were You. We may at any time require You to ensure that any and all Users accept a separate agreement (such as an online “click-wrap” agreement) with Us, which substantially gives effect to these Terms, prior to the User accessing or using the VenueSumo Services.
Restrictions on use of the VenueSumo Services
You and Your Personnel must not, and must not cause, permit or assist any User or any other third party directly or indirectly, to:
- copy, record, replicate, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble the VenueSumo Services (or any part of the VenueSumo Services); or
- otherwise attempt to determine the source code, object code, ideas or algorithms of or included in any computer program or software forming part of, or that is used in connection with, the VenueSumo Services.
You and Your Personnel must not, and must not permit any User or any other third party, to:

We may remove from, or refuse to display on, the Platform anything that We think is inappropriate or in breach of these Terms in Our absolute discretion. You indemnify Us from any Claims that arise out of any action We may take in accordance with this paragraph.
Except to the extent expressly permitted under these Terms, You must not, nor permit others to, lend, sell, rent, lease, license, commercialise, publish or otherwise create any Security Interest in the VenueSumo Services (or any part of the VenueSumo Services).

You are responsible for ensuring that Your and all Users’ use of the VenueSumo Services complies with all applicable laws and regulations, and You must not use, or allow any User to use, the VenueSumo Services for any illegal purpose.
5. Your warranties and responsibilities
Without limiting anything else in these Terms, You acknowledge and agree that You:
- will cooperate with Us, including by making available information and Personnel as reasonably required by Us, so that We can provide access to and enable use of the VenueSumo Services;
- are responsible for all networks, systems, Internet services, telecommunications and any other facilities (including any associated fees and charges) used or required for You (and any User) to access and use the VenueSumo Services; and
- are responsible for backing up any data (including Data) You may have on any computer or storage device which is to be the subject of, or otherwise used in the performance of, the VenueSumo Services or any other services provided by Us.
6. Security and integrity
While We endeavour to adhere to best practice policies and procedures to prevent data loss, We do not guarantee that there will be no loss of data and We expressly exclude liability for any loss of data unless caused by Our negligence, fraud, dishonesty or wilful misconduct.
VenueSumo maintains a highly available, real-time replicated database architecture, with data synchronously or near-synchronously replicated across multiple geographically distributed availability zones/nodes to minimize the risk of data loss. This replication provides effectively instantaneous recovery point objectives (RPO near zero) for most scenarios. In addition, we perform regular [hourly] snapshot backups as an additional layer of protection.
VenueSumo will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the integrity and availability of Customer Data in accordance with industry standards. If Customer Data becomes inaccessible or corrupted due to a failure in VenueSumo’s systems (excluding Customer-caused issues, force majeure, or third-party attacks beyond our reasonable control), we will promptly investigate and, where technically feasible, restore the affected data from replication or the most recent viable backup/snapshot at no additional charge to you.
You must not violate the security of the VenueSumo Services in any way. We may suspend or terminate Your rights under these Terms and Your access to the VenueSumo Services if We suspect any security violation in accordance with clause 16.
We may also inform any law enforcement body of any suspected unauthorised or criminal activity. Examples of security violations include:
- attempting to gain unauthorised access to any part of the VenueSumo Services, servers or system infrastructure You were not intended to have access to;
- using or attempting to use any engine, software, tool, agent, or other device or mechanism (including browsers, spiders, robots, avatars, or intelligent agents) to harvest or otherwise collect information from the VenueSumo Services for any purpose, including use on third party websites;
- attempting to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the VenueSumo Services or any associated system or network, or breaching security or authentication measures without proper authorisation;
- interfering with or otherwise circumventing mechanisms in the VenueSumo Services intended to limit Your use;
- using the VenueSumo Services in a way that was not intended by Us;
- interfering with or disrupting (or attempting to interfere or disrupt) any servers or networks connected to the VenueSumo Services; or
- sending to or storing on the Platform any harmful code (including, for example, any computer virus, trojan, worm or other code that is harmful or disabling or which assists in or enables unauthorised access to or corruption of data).
7. Payment
Access to, and use of, the VenueSumo Services or any part or feature of the VenueSumo Services, will be subject to payment of certain Fees by You.
You must pay the Fees in advance and at the rate and in the manner specified for Your Subscription, on the Platform or in Your Software Subscription Agreement, or as otherwise notified to You by Us. Different rates may apply to different Subscription Plans. You also agree to reimburse Us or any of Our affiliates for any additional expenses or charges as notified to You, including charges for changing Subscription Plans, initial set up costs, or adding additional Users to Your Subscription Plan (if and as relevant). You must pay the expenses or charges (if any), without set-off or deduction, within the timeframe set out on Our or Our affiliates’ invoice.
You acknowledge that the continued availability of any part or feature of the VenueSumo Services may be conditional upon continued payment of the Fees. You also acknowledge and agree that We may change the Fees at any time, subject to the terms relevant to the variation of these Terms contained in clause 17. We will use our best endeavours to notify You of any changes to the Fees before they come into effect. In addition to Your rights contained in clause 17 with respect to the variation of these Terms, if You do not accept the Fees or any changes to the Fees, You must not access or use the VenueSumo Services or any part of the VenueSumo Services and may terminate these Terms in accordance with clause 16.
Fees are exclusive of any goods and services tax, value added tax, sales tax, use tax, withholding tax or similar indirect taxes imposed in any jurisdiction (‘Taxes’). You agree to pay any such Taxes in addition to the Fees.
8. Refunds
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and except as expressly provided otherwise in these Terms, We are not obligated to provide refunds of any Fees paid by You, however We may offer a refund where We determine that extenuating circumstances apply.
9. Confidential Information
Any information that has been identified as being proprietary or confidential or that by the nature of the circumstances surrounding disclosure of such information ought to be treated as proprietary or confidential (“Confidential Information”) disclosed or otherwise made known to any person under these Terms must only be used to enjoy the rights and carry out the obligations granted or required under these Terms.
You must take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid unauthorised disclosure or use of any of Our Confidential Information. You agree to immediately notify Us in writing of any unauthorised disclosure, misuse or misappropriation of such Confidential Information. You will ensure that Your Personnel will comply with such confidentiality obligation as if they were You.
If You become legally obligated to disclose any of Our Confidential Information to any judicial, governmental or regulatory entity with jurisdiction over You, You will give Us prompt written notice sufficient to allow Us to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. You will disclose only such information as is required by the judicial, governmental or regulatory entity and will use Your best efforts to obtain confidential treatment for any Confidential Information that is so disclosed.
All Our Confidential Information will remain the exclusive property of Us, and You will have no rights, by license or otherwise, to use Our Confidential Information except as expressly provided in these Terms.

The arbitrator’s decision will be final, subject only to limited rights of appeal under the FAA, and judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Fees shall be allocated in accordance with JAMS rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, by documents, telephone, or online, and if in person shall take place in the county where You reside. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to exchange relevant non-privileged information. Nothing in this clause prevents VenueSumo Entity from seeking injunctive relief to protect its proprietary interests.
