Perch API Agreement

The Perch API Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Catalyft Labs, Inc. (“Perch”) and you. “You” means you individually or the entity that you represent. If you are entering into this Agreement for an entity, you represent and warrant to us that you have the legal authority to bind that entity to this Agreement. Here are a few highlights:

Please read the entire Perch API Agreement below as it governs your use of the Perch API

The Perch application programming interface, software developer kit, documentation, and any software, materials or data that Perch makes available to you, in its sole discretion, including the API Token as defined below (collectively, the “Perch API Materials”) are made available subject solely to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which terms incorporate by reference the Perch Terms of Service including the Perch Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Service Terms”) and Perch Branding Guidelines. By accessing or using the Perch API Materials, you acknowledge that you have read, and agree to abide by, this Agreement including the Service Terms. If you are unable to comply with the current or any future version of this Agreement, you must immediately cease all use of the Perch API Materials.

This Agreement will evolve as our business and platform expands, so check back often and make sure that you are familiar with the most current version of this Agreement whenever you engage in any use of the Perch API Materials. Any amendment to this Agreement will be effective upon our posting of such updated terms at this location or the successor URL that Perch may select. Your continued use of the Perch API Materials after such posting constitutes your consent to be bound by this Agreement, as updated and amended. Additionally, we may modify, remove or add portions of, or otherwise update the Perch API Materials from time to time in Perch’s sole discretion.

1. Registration

  1. Once your registration is approved, you are authorized to use the Perch API Materials to develop products, sites, applications or services that are registered with us and are designed to interact with and enhance the Perch Platform and the date Perch collects (“Developer Applications”) subject to the restrictions, conditions and limitations in this Agreement. To use the Perch API Materials you must use the approved developer key token provided by Perch (“API Token”). You may only use a single API Token for a single Developer Application.
  2. You are solely responsible for the confidentiality of your API Token and may not share your API Token with any other developer or use it for more than one application or service. You agree to keep your registration, site, application or service information accurate, complete, and current for so long as you use the Perch API Materials. You are responsible for all use that occurs under your API Token, including any activities by you or your employees, contractors or agents. If you believe an unauthorized person has gained access to your API Token we issue you, you must notify us as soon as possible. Perch may contact you from time to time about your use of the Perch API Materials and/or API Token, and you agree to be responsive to inquiries from Perch.

2. Perch API Materials: Permitted Use and Limitations

  1. Perch reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently the Perch API Materials, your use of the Perch API Materials, or any portion thereof with or without notice to you and without any form of compensation or consideration to you, regardless of the status of any of your Developer Applications. Perch reserves the right to create, modify and enforce controlling mechanisms such as a rate limiting structure for use of the Perch API Materials. Further, you acknowledge that Perch has no obligation to ensure that an upgrade of the Perch API Materials or the Perch Platform will be compatible with existing or planned Developer Applications.
  2. Perch reserves the right to revoke your API Token or terminate or limit any uses of the Perch API Materials if you violate this Agreement or we otherwise object to your use of the Perch API Materials.

  3. You agree to comply with the Perch Branding Guidelines, including without limitation, attributing your use of Perch Data in your Developer Application by using the links and logos Perch makes available to you.

If you desire to implement an endpoint or scope in a manner that would exceed the limitations on access, please contact us. You may not, and may not encourage or allow any third party to interfere with, hinder, limit, or modify any notices or authorization or consent requests provided by Perch.
  9. You agree that Perch may collect certain use data and information related to your use of the Perch API Materials, and Perch Platform in connection with your Developer Application (“Usage Data”), and that Perch may use such Usage Data for any business purpose, internal or external, including, without limitation, providing enhancements to the Perch API Materials or Perch Platform, providing developer or user support, or otherwise. You agree to include a statement to this effect in your privacy policy.

  11.

The following are some, but not all, restrictions applicable to the use of the Perch API Materials including, but not limited to, Perch Data:

5. Privacy

  1. Your Developer Application must respect the privacy settings configured by the Perch users. You may use and retain Data only so long as necessary for the purpose you originally obtained it, subject to Section 7 below. If your Developer Application does not collect the authentication credentials of a Perch user, then you are not permitted to display any data or use any functionality via the API Materials that is not available to a logged out user. If your Developer Application logs into Perch on behalf of a Perch user, then you are permitted to access and display data or functionality only for that Perch user, and you may not disclose such data to, or use it for, another user or any other third party without a lawful basis. Your Developer Application shall have a lawful privacy policy, including GDPR compliance, accessible with reasonably prominent hyperlinks that does not conflict with or supersede the Perch Privacy Policy and that explains how you collect, store, use, and/or transfer any Personal Data (defined below) via your Developer Applications. You also agree to comply with all privacy and data protection laws applicable to you.
  2. If your use of the Perch API Materials or Personal Data requires or will likely result in the provision of Personal Data directly to Perch, you agree to obtain all necessary consents and authorizations from the applicable users to provide such Personal Data to Perch. You will also take steps to ensure that such users are aware of this processing and disclosure in such cases, including by adding a statement to this effect in your privacy policy. Perch will treat Personal Data obtained from you through your use of the Perch API Materials in accordance with Perch’s then-current Privacy Policy.
  3. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or agreement with the applicable user to retain such data, if a user revokes the authorization previously granted for your Developer Applications to access their Perch account, you must ensure that all Personal Data pertaining to that user is deleted from your Developer Applications and related networks, systems and servers. If you stop using the Perch API Materials altogether or if your Perch API Materials access is revoked, you must delete all Personal Data in the same way.
  4. You agree to process and use Personal Data in a manner consistent with all applicable data protection and privacy laws, including as applicable the GDPR. If for any reason you are unable to comply with any privacy requirement of the Service Terms you must promptly inform Perch and take reasonable and appropriate steps to remedy any non-compliance, or cease your access to the API and use of all Personal Data.
  5. “Personal Data” means data that may be used, either alone or together with other information, to identify an individual user, including, without limitation, a user’s name, address, telephone number, username, email address, city and country, geolocation, unique identifiers, picture, or other similar information and includes personal data as defined in the GDPR.

6. Security and Fraud Controls

  1. Perch is responsible for protecting the security of Personal Data in its possession and will maintain commercially reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical procedures to protect all the Personal Data regarding your customers that is stored in Perch’s servers from unauthorized access and accidental loss or modification. However, Perch cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use such Personal Data for improper purposes. You acknowledge that if you provide Personal Data to Perch, you do so at your own risk. We recommend that you review our Privacy Policy, which will help you understand how we collect, use and safeguard the Personal Data you may provide to us.
  2. Perch may provide, suggest or mandate security procedures and controls intended to reduce the risk to you of fraud or security breaches (“Security Controls”). These Security Controls may include processes or applications that are developed by Perch or by third parties, including but not limited to providing two-factor authentication for users logging into their Perch account. You agree to review all Security Controls and choose those that are appropriate for your business and the Developer Application to protect against unauthorized transactions and, if necessary, use other procedures and controls not provided by us.

7. Retention

Your Developer Application is encouraged to cache Perch Data to improve performance within the limits outlined in this Agreement. Your Developer Application may also import and store Perch Data in your own systems or databases (“storage”) within the limits outlined in this agreement. Perch is not liable in any way for any data you retain in your cache or storage. No Perch Data shall be cached or stored in a manner that does not allow for the identification of the original resource in the Perch Platform and the updating of the resource if it has been modified within the Perch Platform. All Perch Data in a cache or storage is to be deleted upon cancellation of Developer Application subscriptions in accordance with Section 2 and Section 4 of this agreement. If your Developer Application checks for a resource and that resource is no longer available from Perch, you shall remove it from your cache or storage immediately regardless of how frequently you refresh your cache or storage. Except for such caching and storage, your Developer Application is prohibited from providing or displaying Perch Data or any associated service to any third party other than the Perch user using your Developer Application.

8. Uploading

Your Developer Application may include the option to upload information to the Perch Platform. It is possible for that information to be uploaded to other services other than the Perch Platform.

9. Use of Perch Trademarks

  1. The rights granted in this Agreement do not include any general right to use the Perch name or any Perch trademarks, service marks or logos (the “Perch Marks”) with respect to your Developer Applications. Subject to your continued compliance with this Agreement, you may use Perch Marks to comply with Perch’s data attribution requirements for certain limited purposes related to your Developer Applications only as described in the Perch Branding Guidelines. These rights apply on a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-free basis, without any right to sub-license, and may be revoked by Perch at any time. If Perch updates the Branding Guidelines or any Perch Marks that you are using, you agree to update such Perch Marks to reflect the most current versions. You must not use any Perch Marks, or any confusingly similar mark, as the name or part of the name or icon of your Developer Applications, or as part of any logo or branding for your Developer Applications.

  3. In the event that you choose to provide Perch with feedback, suggestions or comments regarding the Perch API Materials or the Perch Platform, or your use thereof, you agree that Perch will be free to use, copy, modify, create derivative works, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, grant sublicenses to, and otherwise exploit in any manner such feedback, suggestions or comments, for any and all purposes, with no obligation of any kind to you.

  5. You hereby grant to Perch a paid-up, royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, transferable, sublicenseable, right and license, under all applicable intellectual property rights, for Perch’s marketing and promotional purposes to: (a) use, perform, make available, display to the public, reproduce your Developer Application and your integration of the Perch API Materials and (b) use your name, likeness, or brand (which includes all your trademarks, service marks, logos, brand names, or trade names) (“Your Marks”) to the extent it is incorporated into your Developer Application. Following the termination of this Agreement and upon written request from you, Perch shall make commercially reasonable efforts, as determined in its sole discretion, to remove references to your Developer Application and any of Your Marks from the Perch website.
