This API License Agreement (this "Agreement") is a contract between you, as Licensee ("You" or "Licensee") and www.xcritical.in and applies to your use of the XCritical API service (the "Service"). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, PLEASE DO NOT USE OR ACCESS OUR SERVICES. INSTEAD, IF YOU WISH TO MODIFY THESE TERMS PRIOR TO USING OR ACCESSING OUR SERVICES, PLEASE CONTACT US AT support@xcritical.com.

In this Agreement, "you" or "your" means any person or entity using the Service. Unless otherwise stated, "XCritical," "we" or "our" will refer collectively to www.xcritical.in. This Agreement is effective as of the date you first access, download or use the API, or clicks the Acceptance button ("Effective Date"), until the time it is terminated. This Agreement incorporates the XCritical Terms of Use, the terms of which also govern your use of the XCritical Service.

1. API License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, XCritical hereby grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicense-able, limited license to use the Application Programming Interface ("API License") solely in accordance with this Agreement. You may do the following under this API License:

Create and observe transactions in real time;
Use the API as often and as many times as necessary to conduct your business
Query the Database, execute transactions and retrieve therefrom information necessary to facilitate the Permitted Use provided for in this Section; such information stored and/or retrieved in the Database (but exclusive of your information not accessed by the API) is defined as "XCritical Content" or "Content"; and
Abide by this and all other agreements you have or will enter into with XCritical.

Any combination of the foregoing bulleted subsections above are "Permitted Use." Permitted Use is subject to all restrictions identified herein. We will provide to you Permission to use the API (the "Permission"). The Permission may be immediately revoked or terminated by XCritical, including your use of the Content or Database in any way not expressly permitted or granted under this Agreement. A "Third Party Service Provider" is any third party service provider who is reasonably needed to undertake the Permitted Use of this Agreement and who is subject to all restrictions herein, including confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those set forth in Section 7 ("Confidential Information").

2. General License Conditions and Restrictions.

You may not distribute, facilitate, enable or allow access or linking to the XCritical Content or Database from any location or source other than your Site.
