Beer Mapping API Terms of Service

Thank you for using the Beer Mapping API! By using the Beer Mapping API (the "Service"), you ("You") accept and agree to be bound by the Beer Mapping Terms of Service, the Terms of Service for Beer Mapping as well as these additional terms and conditions (the "Terms of Service"). It is important for You to read this document, as it forms a legal agreement between You and Beer Mapping regarding your use of the Service.

1. Service.

1.1 Description of Service. The API allows You to display certain content on your website, subject to the limitations and conditions described below. The information accessible through the Service, not limited to geographic, address information and links to photographic imagery, is referred to in this document as "the Content."

Subject to the limitations and conditions described in the terms of service, You may use the API to display the Content in conjunction with other information You provide to end users. You may not access, reproduce, or use the Content for any other purpose.

In order to obtain the API, You must supply us with an email address and a url. After agreeing to the Terms of Service, You will be issued an alphanumeric key assigned to You by Beer Mapping that is uniquely associated with your Beer Mapping Account and the URL of your service. Beer Mapping will block requests with an invalid key or invalid URL. Beer Mapping shall have sole and complete control over the data.

1.2 Modifications. Beer Mapping reserves the right to release subsequent versions of the API and to require You to obtain and use the most recent version. Beer Mapping may modify the Terms of Service at any time with or without notice, and You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service online at any time at http://beermapping.com/api/terms. If a modification is unacceptable to You, You may cancel the Service by removing the API code from Your Site. If You continue to use the Service, You will be deemed to have accepted the modifications.

You agree that You are responsible for your own conduct and content while using the Service and for any consequences thereof.

For purposes of the Terms of Service, "Intellectual Property Rights" shall mean any and all rights existing from time to time under patent law, copyright law, semiconductor chip protection law, moral rights law, trade secret law, trademark law, unfair competition law, publicity rights law, privacy rights law, and any and all other proprietary rights, and any and all applications, renewals, extensions and restorations thereof, now or hereafter in force and effect worldwide. As between You and Beer Mapping, You acknowledge that Beer Mapping or its licensors own all right, title and interest, including without limitation all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Service and that You shall not acquire any right, title, or interest in or to the Service, except as expressly set forth in the Terms of Service.

2.2 Brand Feature License. For purposes of the Terms of Service, "Brand Features" shall be defined as the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features of each party, respectively, as secured by such party from time to time. Beer Mapping hereby grants to You a nontransferable, nonsublicenseable, nonexclusive license during the Term to display Beer Mapping's Brand Features for the purpose of promoting or advertising that You use the Service in accordance with this Section 2.2 and for the purpose of fulfilling Your obligations under Section 2.3 below. You hereby grant to Beer Mapping a nontransferable, nonexclusive license during the Term to use Your Brand Features to advertise that You are using the Service.

In using Beer Mapping Brand Features, you may not:

  • display a Beer Mapping Brand Feature in any manner that implies a relationship or affiliation with, sponsorship, or endorsement by Beer Mapping, other than your involvement in the Service, or that can be reasonably interpreted to suggest editorial content has been authored by, or represents the views or opinions of Beer Mapping or Beer Mapping personnel;
  • use Beer Mapping Brand Features to disparage Beer Mapping, its products or services;
  • display a Beer Mapping Brand Feature on your site if it contains or displays adult content or promotes illegal activities, gambling, or the sale of tobacco or alcohol to persons under twenty-one (21) years of age;
  • display a Beer Mapping Brand Feature in a manner that is misleading, defamatory, infringing, libelous, disparaging, obscene or otherwise objectionable to Beer Mapping;
  • display a Beer Mapping Brand Feature on a site that violates any law or regulation; or
  • remove, distort or alter any element of a Beer Mapping Brand Feature (this includes squeezing, stretching, inverting, discoloring, etc.).

You understand and agree that Beer Mapping has the sole discretion to determine whether your use of Beer Mapping brand features is in accordance with the above restrictions.

Except as set forth in this Section 2.2, nothing in the Terms of Service shall grant or shall be deemed to grant to one party any right, title or interest in or to the other party's Brand Features. All use by You of Beer Mapping's Brand Features (including any goodwill associated therewith) shall inure to the benefit of Beer Mapping. At no time during or after the Term shall You challenge or assist others to challenge the Brand Features of Beer Mapping (except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law) or the registration thereof by Beer Mapping, nor shall You attempt to register any Brand Features (including domain names) that are confusingly similar in any way (including but not limited to, sound, appearance and spelling) to those of Beer Mapping.

3.Termination.

3.1 Termination. Beer Mapping may change, suspend or discontinue all or any aspect of the Service, including their availability, at any time, and may suspend or terminate Your use of the Service at any time.

In addition, either party may terminate the Terms of Service at any time, for any reason, or for no reason including, but not limited to, if You engage in any action that reflects poorly on Beer Mapping or otherwise disparages or devalues the Beer Mapping Brand Features or Beer Mapping's reputation or goodwill. If You desire to terminate the Terms of Service, You must remove the Service from Your Site.

3.2 Rejection of Application. Beer Mapping shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any request to use the Service at any time and for any reason, and such rejection shall render null and void the Terms of Service between You and Beer Mapping. Beer Mapping shall not be liable to You for damages of any sort resulting from its decision to reject such a request.

3.3 Effect of Termination.
