Apertium API Terms and Conditions of use

You've chosen to use the Apertium API and we thank you for that.

Apertium grants you a license to use its API under the terms and conditions set forth below. These terms and conditions may be updated at any time without notice. You can view the latest version at this address: http://api.apertium.org/register.jsp . Your use of the API results in unconditional acceptance of the most recent terms and conditions.

License to use the API is granted non-exclusively and non-relicenseable, for unlimited time, until terminated by either party.

Apertium may terminate your license at any time, for any reason. The goal of this document is to give you as much information as possible to avoid this from occurring. You can also terminate your license at any time by ceasing to use the API and removing your API key.

1. Request and use of an API key

The proper use of the API requires obtaining an identifier (the "key") issued by Apertium as detailed below.

Requests not including an API key are strictly limited to a small amount per IP.

To obtain a key you will be asked to detail some necessary information.

You agree to provide true, accurate and complete information.

Providing this information is a critical condition on your right to use the API.

It is your responsibility to keep your key confidential. You are responsible for all activities related to API use associated with your key and you agree to immediately notify Apertium of any fraudulent use of your key.

2. Terms and restrictions of use

Remember that the availability of the API represents a real cost to the Apertium community. Design your application to make wise use of API resources and offer a genuinely useful service to users.

Don't attempt to exploit any security vulnerabilities. If you detect a possible flaw, be discreet and let us know as soon as possible.

Don't make large numbers of unnecessary API requests which could cause slowdown or instability of the Apertium platform.

If your application generates a large number of API requests, some of them could be rejected to avoid server overload. A financial contribution might be required if you want the service to process all your requests. If you have any doubt regarding the impact of your application, please contact us.

3. Commercial Use

If your application intends to profit, directly or indirectly, your application will be considered commercial.

Commercial applications have no additional limitations.
