Hip, hip, hooray 🎉 It's National Notary Public Day! This one's for you, notaries.

This Application Programming Interface Supplement (“API Supplement”) is attached to and incorporated into the Proof General Terms (“General Terms”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined have the meanings given in the General Terms, the Proof Glossary, or the Order Form.

  1. General. This API Supplement applies to Subscriber, if Subscriber uses Proof’s APIs. If Subscriber does not accept this API Supplement, Subscriber may not access or use the API.
    ‍
  2. License Grant. Subject to and conditioned on Subscriber’s compliance with all terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, Proof hereby grants Subscriber a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license during the term of the Agreement to use the API solely for developing an integration with Subscriber’s application(s) that will communicate and interoperate with the Services for the benefit of a User (“Applications”). Subscriber acknowledge that there are no implied licenses granted under the Agreement. Proof reserves all rights that are not expressly granted. Subscriber may not use the API for any other purpose without Proof’s prior written consent. In order to use and access theAPI, Subscriber must purchase Proof Services that include Proof’s APIs or Subscriber’s use must be approved by Proof. Subscriber will gain access to the API Key on the Proof Platform. Subscriber may not share Subscriber’s API Key with any third party, must keep Subscriber’s API Key and all log-in information secure, and must use the API Key as Subscriber’s sole means of accessing the API. Subscriber’sAPI Key may be revoked at any time by Proof.
    ‍
  3. Personal Data. The API may provide Subscriber with access to certain personal information of Users, or other individuals, including but not limited to: (a) homeowner names and other homeowner information; and (b) certain financial information, including mortgage details, individual net worth, or home worth details (collectively, “API Personal Data”). Subscriber’s use of API Personal Data is strictly limited to the uses specifically requested through opt-in consent by Users. Subscriber agrees to keep the API Personal Data confidential. Subscriber will not disclose, reproduce, summarize or distribute the API Personal Data to any third party or otherwise display API Personal Data to anyone other than the User to whom theAPI Personal Data belongs and Subscriber’s employees who are bound by thisAgreement on a need-to-know basis. Subscriber will take reasonable security precautions, at least as great as the precautions Subscriber takes to protect Subscriber’s confidential information, but no less than reasonable care, to keep confidential API Personal Data.
    ‍
  4. Use Restrictions.

Subscriber’s obligations under this Section 8are conditioned on Proof: (a) giving prompt notice of the claim to Subscriber,(b) granting sole control of the defense or settlement of the claim to Subscriber, and (c) providing reasonable cooperation to the Subscriber at Subscriber's request and expense. Proof may participate in the claim’s defense at its sole cost and expense. Subscriber will not enter into any settlement that adversely affects Proof’s interests without prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld.
