These terms apply to Developers only (as opposed to Individuals or Organizations), for example if you are a third party solution provider utilizing our Developer Platform to transmit user data between our Services and yours.

WELCOME TO THE PUSHPAY DEVELOPER PLATFORM
Welcome to the Pushpay Developer Platform! Pushpay has created these Developer Terms and Conditions (these “Developer Terms“) so that developers like you can enjoy the benefits of our Developer Platform while protecting both Pushpay’s and its users’ rights. By clicking on “I agree” (or a similar box or button) or using the Developer Platform, you agree to be bound by these Developer Terms. You may not use the Developer Platform if you do not agree to these Developer Terms. In these Developer Terms, you are referred to as “Developer” or “you”. If you are agreeing to these Developer Terms not as an individual but on behalf of your company, then “Developer” or “you” means your company and you are binding your company to these Developer Terms.
If you are providing application development services or are otherwise acting as a connector to a third party that will receive or otherwise benefit from User Data (the “Ultimate Recipient“) obtained through the Developer Platform (i.e., you are a “Connector“), you represent that you are acting as an agent of the Ultimate Recipient and you have the authority to bind the Ultimate Recipient to these Terms. In that case, “Developer” or “you” includes the Ultimate Recipient as well.
If you subcontract the development of Your Applications, you will procure that any third party subcontractor complies with these Developer Terms.
These Developer Terms include any terms provided separately to you for the Developer Platform, including guidelines specific to certain types of developers and/or use cases.
These Developer Terms will evolve with our ecosystem as developers continue to innovate and find new, creative ways to use the Developer Platform, and we may change these Developer Terms at any time, effective immediately upon posting of the the updated terms.
OUR DEVELOPER PLATFORM
These Developer Terms govern your access to and use of our APIs, SDKs, app keys and access tokens, and developer webpages and documentation (“Documentation“) (collectively, the “Developer Platform“). The Developer Platform is designed to allow you to connect your new and existing applications, products and services (“Your Applications“) with Pushpay’s own Services.
REGISTRATION
To access the Developer Platform, you must follow the registration process established by Pushpay. To start the process, Submit a Request. Pushpay may approve or deny access to the Developer Platform in its sole discretion. When you register, you are subject to Pushpay’s User Agreement and Privacy Policy (“Pushpay’s Service Terms“), as well as any additional registration terms specified by Pushpay.
YOUR USE RIGHTS
Subject to these Developer Terms, you may use the Developer Platform solely to enable Your Applications to access or interface with Pushpay Services and as set forth in these Developer Terms (your “Use Rights“). Your use must be as permitted in our Documentation and is subject to call, usage and other limits specified on our Developer Platform Site (as may be modified from time to time, and which are incorporated into these Developer Terms) or as we otherwise notify you. All of your rights are non-assignable, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable.
Unless otherwise specified in these Developer Terms, your use within these Use Rights are permitted “free-of-charge” up to, but not to exceed, the Pushpay API limits and Pushpay customer limits set forth above and in associated documentation. Pushpay reserves the right to charge you for your use of the Developer Platform with prior notice to you.
If you are a Connector, you are only permitted to pass through any User Data to the Ultimate Recipient on behalf of which you are connecting to the Developer Platform.
If you subcontract the development of Your Applications, you will procure that any third party subcontractor engaged by you is only passing through any User Data to you. Such subcontractors shall have no other use rights.
You agree not to use, nor permit any third party to use, the Developer Platform in a manner that violates any applicable law, regulation or these Developer Terms.
If you are unsure whether your intended use case(s) comply with these Developer Terms, please reach out to developers@pushpay.com before investing time and resources into building Your Application’s integration with Pushpay.
Pushpay reserves the rights to modify or amend these Developer Terms, in its sole discretion, at any time.
SUPPORT AND MODIFICATION
While we may provide you with support or modifications for the Developer Platform, we are not obligated to do so and have no obligation to fix or respond to errors you may encounter. In our discretion and without liability to you, we may add, remove or modify any features of the Developer Platform; impose additional eligibility requirements or restrictions for access to the Developer Platform; or discontinue the Developer Platform. If we modify the Developer Platform, we may require you to use the modified version, which may not be compatible with Your Applications developed using previous versions. We typically make these changes as part of our overall Developer Platform program and may not be able to provide you with individual notice of the changes.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
User Relationships
Your Applications must include your own legally binding terms of use and privacy notice (“Your Terms“) that are publicly available to your third-party users (assuming you have third-party users or that Your Application allows for the retrieval of User Data, or where including Your Terms would be customary or appropriate under the circumstances). If a user of the Pushpay Services allows Your Applications to retrieve any data, content or information of a user, including where such data is aggregated by you across more than one user (“User Data“) from Pushpay Services, you must (1) access only the minimum data fields Your Application needs to work properly, as permitted by the user and (2) ensure the User Data is collected, processed, transmitted, maintained and used in accordance with Your Terms, all Laws (defined below) and reasonable measures that protect the privacy and security of the User Data (including at a minimum those at Pushpay’s API Security Page. Without limiting the foregoing, Your Terms must contain clear and legally adequate disclosures about the nature of Your Application’s integration with Pushpay and the User Data you are collecting and how you may use it.
For clarity, any user’s access or use of Pushpay Services itself is subject to the Pushpay User Agreement or other applicable terms agreed by Pushpay with the user, not Your Terms. If Pushpay receives any User Data from or on behalf of a user, including through or enabled by Your Application, Pushpay will treat such User Data under its applicable terms with such user and such data will no longer be subject to Your Terms.
Be a Good Citizen to Our Ecosystem

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) PUSHPAY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST OR INACCURATE DATA, FAILURE OF SECURITY MECHANISMS, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, COSTS OF DELAY OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER LIABILITY RELATED TO THE PUSHPAY MATERIALS OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE DEVELOPER TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY; AND (B) IN ANY EVENT PUSHPAY’S ENTIRE AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THESE DEVELOPER TERMS WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (1) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US (IF ANY) TO USE THE DEVELOPER PLATFORM IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (2) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (US$100).

These limitations will survive notwithstanding any limited remedy’s failure of essential purpose.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND ADDITIONAL TERMS
Pushpay Independent Development
You understand and acknowledge that Pushpay may be independently creating (or may receive from third parties) features, applications, content, or other products or services that may be similar to or competitive with Your Application, and nothing in these Developer Terms will be construed as restricting or preventing Pushpay from doing so. In addition, you agree never to assert (or assist or encourage anyone in asserting) any patent claims or other intellectual property infringement claim against Pushpay (or its users, customers partners, developers, or Pushpay’s respective successors or assigns) whether such claim relates to the integration, combination or interface of any applications, products or services with any Pushpay Service, or otherwise relates to any of our products or services.
Developer Exception to Privacy Policy
Pushpay may reveal Personal Data about developers for attribution purposes, handling inquiries from users or potential users, and other purposes Pushpay reasonably deems necessary under these Developer Terms. You understand and agree that Pushpay may access, preserve, and disclose your Personal Data and your developer account details if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation, or disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Pushpay, its affiliates or partners, its users, or the general public.
Pushpay Rights
As between you and us, we own all rights, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and the Developer Platform, Pushpay Services, Pushpay’s Brand Features, and all related technology, our Website and content, and any modifications or derivative works of the foregoing (collectively, the “Pushpay Materials“). Except for the limited use right expressly granted to you under these Developer Terms, Pushpay does not grant you any right, title, or interest in the Pushpay Materials. You have no obligation to give us any suggestions, comments or other feedback relating to the Pushpay Materials (“Feedback“). If you provide us with Feedback, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual and irrevocable license to use, copy, modify, sublicense (through multiple tiers) and otherwise exploit the Feedback (including any ideas, concepts, methods, know-how or techniques embodied in Feedback) for any purpose, without any restriction or obligation to you based on intellectual property rights or otherwise.
Your Application
You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights in Your Applications, subject to Pushpay’s rights in any underlying Pushpay Materials. You agree to provide us with a reasonable number of copies of or other access to Your Applications. During the term of these Terms you hereby grant to us a paid-up, royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable, right and license, under all of your intellectual property rights, to: (a) use, perform, and display Your Application and its content for purposes of our internal testing purposes (including security testing) and for marketing, demonstrating, and making your Application available to users; and (b) link to and direct users to Your Application.

Pushpay has no other obligation to delete copies of, references to, or links to Your Application.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Pushpay Confidential Information
Pushpay may provide, or during the course of the relationship you may access, certain information to you that is confidential or proprietary (“Pushpay Confidential Information“). Pushpay Confidential Information consists of (a) your access keys or logins for the Developer Platform, any non-public elements of the Developer Platform or any pre-release information about Pushpay Services and (b) anything identified or marked as “Confidential” or “Proprietary” or that you should reasonably understand to be confidential or proprietary under the circumstances. You may use Pushpay Confidential Information only for the purposes of these Developer Terms. You may not disclose any Pushpay Confidential Information to third parties, other than your employees, agents and advisors with a need to know and for whom you agree to remain responsible under these Developer Terms.
Your Confidential Information.
You should not disclose any information to Pushpay that you consider to be confidential. To avoid any potential confusion, you agree that any unsolicited information you provide to Pushpay in relation to the Developer Platform will be non-confidential and that Pushpay may use it under the same terms as for Feedback above. However, this paragraph does not apply to the extent you have entered into a separate non-disclosure agreement (NDA) or other confidentiality terms with Pushpay addressing your confidential information in relation to the Developer Platform.
TERM AND TERMINATION
These Developer Terms remain in effect until terminated. You may terminate these Developer Terms at any time by ceasing all use of the Developer Platform and notifying Pushpay. We may terminate these Developer Terms for any reason without prior notice. Without limiting the foregoing, we may suspend or terminate these Terms (or your use of all or any of the Developer Platform) immediately if we believe you have violated these Terms, if we believe the use of Your Application with the Developer Platform is not in our or our user’s best interests, if we cease to offer the Developer Platform or as required by Laws.
Upon termination of these Terms:
These Developer Terms, other than your use rights, survive.
MODIFICATIONS TO TERMS
