In order to use and access the API, Licensee must obtain API credentials (a “Token”) by becoming a Subscriber. Licensee may not share its Token with any third party, shall keep such Token and all Login information secure, and shall use the Token as Licensee’s sole means of accessing the API.

Licensee is solely responsible for the confidentiality of the Token and may not share the Token with any other developer or use it for more than one application or service.

If Licensee believes an unauthorized person has gained access to the Token, Licensee must notify Xeneta as soon as possible.

Xeneta reserves the right to revoke Licensee’s Token or terminate or limit any uses of the API if you violate this Agreement or we otherwise object to Licensee’s use of the API, including but not limited to, uses that enable virtual races or competitions and uses that replicate Xeneta sites, services or products.

b. Passwords
Licensee will issue usernames and passwords for each user of the Application. Licensee is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all usernames and passwords and for ensuring that each username and password is used only by the End User to which it was issued.

5. Temporary Suspension

Xeneta may temporarily suspend Licensee’s access to the API in the event that either Licensee or any of their End Users is engaged in, or Xeneta in good faith suspects Licensee or any of their End Users is engaged in, any unauthorized conduct (including, but not limited to any violation of this Agreement). Xeneta will attempt to contact Licensee prior to or contemporaneously with such suspension; provided, however, that Xeneta’s exercise of the suspension rights herein shall not be conditioned upon Licensee’s receipt of any notification. Licensee agrees that Xeneta shall not be liable to Licensee, any of its End Users, or any other third party if Xeneta exercises its suspension rights as permitted by this Section. Upon determining that Licensee has ceased the unauthorized conduct leading to the temporary suspension to Xeneta’s reasonable satisfaction, Xeneta shall reinstate Licensee’s access and use of the API. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, Xeneta’s suspension of API is in addition to any other remedies that Xeneta may have under this Agreement or otherwise, including but not limited to termination of this Agreement for cause.
