I. API Use
- Compliance with Terms. You may use the Fiery API, and the data, content, and information (including but not limited to the API Key as defined below) made available through the Fiery API (the "Fiery API"), in connection with a website or software application ("API Client") developed by You only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the EFI Terms of Service (currently located at w3.efi.com/web-access/fiery-api-tos), the Fiery API documentation and specifications (currently located at w3.efi.com/web-access/fiery-api-tos), and the developer credentials, assigned to you by EFI. EFI may monitor Your use of the Fiery API to ensure quality, improve EFI products and services, and verify Your compliance with these terms. You shall not interfere with such monitoring or otherwise obscure from EFI Your use of the Fiery API. EFI may use any technical means to overcome such interference.
“API Key” means a code passed by the API client to identify the calling program, its developer, and to specify the access rights, which controls which Fiery APIs are accessible.
“API Accessible Data” means all data, content or information created and/or stored on a Fiery print server. Examples of API Accessible Data include but are not limited to print job data, printer tray and toner data, printer queues, and user information.
- Commercial Use.
You agree not to use the Fiery API for any of the following commercial uses unless You obtain EFI's prior written approval: the sale of the Fiery API, API Data, API Accessible Data, API Keys, and any Additional Licenses or access to the foregoing. You also agree not to use the Fiery API to create a product or service that competes with an EFI product or service or that circumvents the licensing or restrictions of any EFI product or service. Provided that You comply with all other terms and conditions of this Agreement You are permitted to sell the API Client or sell or distribute a product or service that contains or runs an API Client.
- Brand Rules. "EFI Brands" means the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names and other distinctive brand features of EFI. EFI grants You a non-exclusive license to use the EFI Brands solely in connection with their display on or through the API Client as delivered by EFI. Your Application shall provide proper attribution to EFI as specified in the EFI Trademark Guidelines set forth at http://w3.efi.com/web-access/copyright which may be modified by EFI at any time. EFI may terminate Your license to use the EFI Brands at any time for any or no reason. Goodwill in EFI Brands will inure only to EFI's benefit and You obtain no rights with respect to any of them. You irrevocably assign and will assign to EFI any right, title and interest that You obtain in any of EFI's Brands. You shall not at any time challenge or assist others to challenge EFI Brands or their registration (except to the extent You cannot give up that right by law) or attempt to register any trademarks, marks or trade names confusingly similar to EFI's. This paragraph survives any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
- Upgrades. Each API Client must contain means for You to update the API Client to the most current version of the Fiery API after any version has been deprecated. For non-website implementations, You must have means of remotely updating each API Client that has already been distributed to an end user.
- Deprecation. EFI will announce if we intend to discontinue or make backwards incompatible changes to this Fiery API or service. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to notify you in advance with as much notice as possible.
- Usage and Quotas. EFI may, in its sole discretion, set a quota of operations on Your Fiery API usage (including but not limited to your ability to access, call on, and/or report data off of a Fiery or any other EFI product or service or limit the amount of data accessed or called on). You shall not attempt to circumvent automated use-quota restrictions.
- Additional Licenses. EFI may, in its sole discretion and at any time, require You to obtain additional licenses (including but not limited to licenses to access individual Fiery print servers or any particular set or subset of data, such as job data, from one or more Fiery print servers) for a license fee and other additional terms and conditions. You shall not attempt to circumvent these restrictions.

YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE FIERY API, CONTINUED POSSESSION OF A COPY OF NON-PUBLIC API DOCUMENTATION AND SPECIFICATIONS OR CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT FOLLOWING POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON OUR SITE WILL CONSTITUTE BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE.

If You have a dispute with one or more EFI account owners, You release EFI and its corporate affiliates and any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, licensors, licensees, assigns or successors, for any and all damages, liabilities, causes of action, judgments, and claims arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If You are a California resident, You waive California Civil Code 1542 which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
- Miscellaneous. The Agreement is governed by California law, except for California's conflicts of laws principles, and all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the EFI services and programs shall be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of Santa Clara County, California, USA, and You and EFI consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. You may grant approvals, permissions and consents to EFI by email, but any modifications by You to this Agreement shall be made in a writing (not including email) executed by both parties. Any notices to EFI shall be sent to our corporate headquarters address as set forth on our website via first class or air mail or overnight courier, and is deemed given upon receipt. A waiver of any default is not a waiver of any subsequent default. Unenforceable provisions will be modified to reflect the parties' intention, and remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full effect. You shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of Your rights or delegate Your obligations hereunder and any such attempt is null and void. You and EFI are not legal partners or agents, but are independent contractors.
