Open Source Components available through RunSignup’s public GitHub repositories are governed by the Apache License, Version 2.0, rather than these Terms with respect to the open source code itself.

By accessing the API, you confirm that you have reviewed the Privacy Policy and agree to be bound by its terms, as they may be updated from time to time.
You may use Content accessed through the API only for the purpose of operating your Application as permitted by these Terms. You may not:

You must obtain all necessary consents for the use, processing and storage of the Content.
In the event of any actual or suspected security breach involving Content or registrant data obtained through the API—including unauthorized access, acquisition, disclosure, or use of such data—you must notify RunSignup in writing at legal@runsignup.com as soon as practicable and in no event later than forty-eight (48) hours after discovery. Such notice must include a description of the nature of the breach, the data affected, the likely cause, and the remediation steps you are taking or plan to take.

RunSignup may de-personalize (remove any personally identifying information protected under applicable law) and aggregate any data or information generated in connection with your use of the API, including API call logs and usage statistics, to perform analytics, improve and market the API and its services, or for any other business or commercial purpose. RunSignup shall have no obligation or liability in connection with its use of any such de-personalized or aggregated data, unless and to the extent required by applicable law.

RunSignup may log API calls, including the nature and volume of requests, endpoints accessed, and response data, and may retain these logs for reasonable periods. RunSignup will handle any personal data contained in such logs in accordance with its Privacy Policy.
Upon reasonable notice (except in cases of suspected fraud, security breach, or material violation of these Terms, in which case no prior notice is required), RunSignup may audit your use of the API to verify compliance with these Terms.

No rights in the API, RunSignup Marks, or Content are transferred to you by these Terms except the limited license expressly set forth in Section 3.
You retain ownership of your Application and any content you independently develop (“Custom Content”), provided that no element of the foregoing incorporates or is derived from any RunSignup proprietary materials. You are wholly responsible and liable for your Custom Content and for ensuring that such Custom Content does not infringe any third party’s intellectual property or privacy rights or violate applicable law or regulation.
You may not use RunSignup Marks, including the names "RunSignup," "TicketSignup," "GiveSignup," or any other RunSignup brand names or logos, in any manner that:
You may accurately state in your Application and marketing materials that your Application "works with RunSignup" or "integrates with the RunSignup API," provided that such statement is truthful and does not violate the restrictions above.
Notwithstanding the above, you shall make no representation or statement of any kind which indicates that RunSignUp endorses, supports, certifies or makes any commitment regarding the interoperability of your Application with the RunSignup Service. You may not use the name “RunSignup” or any other trademark of RunSignup in the name of your Application. RunSignup may require you to discontinue use of the API upon written notice. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible and liable for: (i) your operation of your Application and integrations; and (ii) problems, defects and all other matters relating to or arising from the integration of your Application with the RunSignup Service
If you submit, transmit, or otherwise provide to RunSignup any ideas, suggestions, feedback, or recommendations regarding the API or RunSignup’s services ("Feedback"), you hereby grant RunSignup a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide, fully sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, and incorporate such Feedback into RunSignup’s products and services without restriction, compensation, or attribution to you. You represent that you have the right to grant this license and that the Feedback does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights.

RunSignup does not guarantee any particular level of API availability, uptime, or response time. RunSignup may, in its sole discretion and at any time, with or without notice:
RunSignup will endeavor to provide advance notice of changes that are material or likely to require updates to your Application, but is not obligated to do so. You are responsible for monitoring RunSignup’s developer documentation and communications for updates to the API.
These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with RunSignup’s Privacy Policy and any additional guidelines or policies incorporated herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and RunSignup with respect to the API and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if it cannot be so modified, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Waiver. RunSignup’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of a breach of these Terms must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of RunSignup to be effective.
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. These Terms are for the sole benefit of RunSignup and you, and do not create any rights in any third party.
Relationship of Parties. The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates or implies a partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency relationship between RunSignup and you. You have no authority to bind RunSignup or incur obligations on its behalf.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without RunSignup’s prior written consent.

Confidentiality. You agree to treat RunSignup’s proprietary API technology, non-public documentation, technical specifications, and related materials (“API Materials”) as confidential information and shall not disclose or distribute any such information, in whole or in part, to any third party without RunSignup’s prior written consent and you shall not use such API Materials except as expressly permitted hereunder.

The affected party must notify the other promptly upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event and use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable.
Injunctive Relief. You acknowledge that a breach of your obligations regarding API Credentials, intellectual property, data security/privacy, or confidentiality may cause irreparable harm to RunSignup for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that RunSignup is entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief without the requirement to post a bond or other security.
