RPGLogs’ API Terms of Service
Thank you for using RPGLogs’ APIs, other developer services, and associated software (collectively, "APIs"). By accessing or using our APIs, you are agreeing to the terms below. If there is a conflict between these terms and additional terms applicable to a given API, the additional terms will control for that conflict. Collectively, we refer to the terms below, any additional terms, terms within the accompanying API documentation, and any applicable policies and guidelines as the "Terms." You agree to comply with the Terms and that the Terms control your relationship with us. So please read all the Terms carefully. If you use the APIs as an interface to, or in conjunction with other RPGLogs products or services, then the terms for those other products or services also apply.
Under the Terms, "RPGLogs" means RPGLogs, LLC, with offices at 1334 Brittmoore Rd. Houston, TX 77043, United States, unless set forth otherwise in additional terms applicable for a given API. We may refer to "RPGLogs" as "we", "our", or "us" in the Terms.
Section 1: Account and Registration
a. Accepting the Terms
You may not use the APIs and may not accept the Terms if (a) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with RPGLogs, or (b) you are a person barred from using or receiving the APIs under the applicable laws of the United States or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the APIs.
b. Entity Level Acceptance
If you are using the APIs on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to the Terms and by accepting the Terms, you are doing so on behalf of that entity (and all references to "you" in the Terms refer to that entity).
c. Registration
In order to access certain APIs you may be required to provide certain information (such as identification or contact details) as part of the registration process for the APIs, or as part of your continued use of the APIs. Any registration information you give to RPGLogs will always be accurate and up to date and you'll inform us promptly of any updates.
d. Naming
You must provide a descriptive name for your Client or your API key. RPGLogs reserves the right to cancel Clients or Keys where the use, owner, or target cannot be determined easily.
Section 2: Using Our APIs
a. Your End Users
You will require your end users to comply with (and not knowingly enable them to violate) applicable law, regulation, and the Terms.
b. Compliance with Law, Third Party Rights, and Other RPGLogs Terms of Service
You will comply with all applicable law, regulation, and third party rights (including without limitation laws regarding the import or export of data or software, privacy, and local laws). You will not use the APIs to encourage or promote illegal activity or violation of third party rights. You will not violate any other terms of service with RPGLogs (or its affiliates).
c. Permitted Access
You will only access (or attempt to access) an API by the means described in the documentation of that API. If RPGLogs assigns you developer credentials (e.g. client IDs), you must use them with the applicable APIs. You will not misrepresent or mask either your identity or your API Client's identity or use multiple accounts or credentials when using the APIs or developer accounts.
d. API Limitations
RPGLogs sets and enforces limits on your use of the APIs (e.g. limiting the number of API requests that you may make or the number of users you may serve), in our sole discretion. You agree to, and will not attempt to circumvent, such limitations documented with each API. If you would like to use any API beyond these limits, you must obtain RPGLogs' express consent (and RPGLogs may decline such request or condition acceptance on your agreement to additional terms and/or charges for that use). To seek such approval, contact the relevant RPGLogs API team for information (e.g. by using the appropriate channels in the WarcraftLogs and FFLogs Discord servers).
e. Open Source Software
Some of the software required by or included in our APIs may be offered under an open source license. Open source software licenses constitute separate written agreements. For certain APIs, open source software is listed in the documentation. To the limited extent the open source software license expressly supersedes the Terms, the open source license instead sets forth your agreement with RPGLogs for the applicable open source software.
f. Communication with RPGLogs
We may send you certain communications in connection with your use of the APIs. These communication channels should stay open while you’re use of the APIs continues.
g. Feedback
If you provide feedback or suggestions about our APIs, then we (and those we allow) may use such information without obligation to you.
h. Non-Exclusivity
The Terms are non-exclusive. You acknowledge that RPGLogs may develop products or services that may compete with the API Clients or any other products or services.
i. RPGLogs Controller-Controller Data Protection Terms
To the extent required by data protection laws applicable to the parties' processing of personal data under these Terms, the parties agree to follow the RPGLogs Privacy Policy.
Section 3: Your API Clients
a. API Clients and Monitoring
The APIs are designed to help you enhance your websites and applications ("API Client(s)"). YOU AGREE THAT RPGLOGS MAY MONITOR USE OF THE APIS TO ENSURE QUALITY, IMPROVE RPGLOGS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND VERIFY YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS. This monitoring may include RPGLogs accessing and using your API Client, for example to identify security issues that could affect RPGLogs or its users. You will not interfere with this monitoring. RPGLogs may use any technical means to overcome such interference. RPGLogs may suspend access to the APIs by you or your API Client without notice if we reasonably believe that you are in violation of the Terms.
b. Security
You will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect user information collected by your API Client, including personal data, from unauthorized access or use and will promptly report to your users any unauthorized access or use of such information to the extent required by applicable law.
c. Ownership
RPGLogs does not acquire ownership in your API Clients, and by using our APIs, you do not acquire ownership of any rights in our APIs or the content that is accessed through our APIs.
d. User Privacy and API Clients
You will comply with (1) all applicable privacy laws and regulations including those applying to personal data and (2) the RPGLogs Privacy Policy, which governs your use of the APIs when you request access to RPGLogs user information. You will provide and adhere to a privacy policy for your API Client that clearly and accurately describes to users of your API Client what user information you collect and how you use and share such information (including for advertising) with RPGLogs and third parties.
Section 4: Prohibitions and Confidentiality
a. API Prohibitions
When using the APIs, you may not (or allow those acting on your behalf to):
Sublicense an API for use by a third party. Consequently, you will not create an API Client that functions substantially the same as the APIs and offer it for use by third parties.
Perform an action with the intent of introducing to RPGLogs products and services any viruses, worms, defects, Trojan horses, malware, or any items of a destructive nature.
Defame, abuse, harass, stalk, or threaten others.
Interfere with or disrupt the APIs or the servers or networks providing the APIs.
Promote or facilitate unlawful online gambling or disruptive commercial messages or advertisements.
Reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code from any API or any related software, except to the extent that this restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law.
Remove, obscure, or alter any RPGLogs terms of service or any links to or notices of those terms.
b. Confidential Matters
Developer credentials (such as passwords, keys, and client IDs) are intended to be used by you and identify your API Client. You will keep your credentials confidential and make reasonable efforts to prevent and discourage other API Clients from using your credentials. Developer credentials may not be embedded in open source projects.
Our communications to you and our APIs may contain RPGLogs confidential information. RPGLogs confidential information includes any materials, communications, and information that are marked confidential or that would normally be considered confidential under the circumstances. If you receive any such information, then you will not disclose it to any third party without RPGLogs' prior written consent. RPGLogs confidential information does not include information that you independently developed, that was rightfully given to you by a third party without confidentiality obligation, or that becomes public through no fault of your own. You may disclose RPGLogs confidential information when compelled to do so by law if you provide us reasonable prior notice, unless a court orders that we not receive notice.
Section 5: Content
a. Content Accessible Through our APIs
Our APIs contain some third party content (such as text, images, videos, audio, or software). This content is the sole responsibility of the person that makes it available. We may sometimes review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our policies or the Terms, and we may remove or refuse to display content. Finally, content accessible through our APIs may be subject to intellectual property rights, and, if so, you may not use it unless you are licensed to do so by the owner of that content or are otherwise permitted by law. Your access to the content provided by the API may be restricted, limited, or filtered in accordance with applicable law, regulation, and policy.
b. Submission of Content
Some of our APIs allow the submission of content. RPGLogs does not acquire any ownership of any intellectual property rights in the content that you submit to our APIs through your API Client, except as expressly provided in the Terms. For the sole purpose of enabling RPGLogs to provide, secure, and improve the APIs (and the related service(s)) and only in accordance with the applicable RPGLogs privacy policies, you give RPGLogs a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to Use content submitted, posted, or displayed to or from the APIs through your API Client. "Use" means use, host, store, modify, communicate, and publish. Before you submit content to our APIs through your API Client, you will ensure that you have the necessary rights (including the necessary rights from your end users) to grant us the license.
c. Retrieval of content
When a user's non-public content is obtained through the APIs, you may not expose that content to other users or to third parties without explicit opt-in consent from that user.
d. Prohibitions on Content
Unless expressly permitted by the content owner or by applicable law, you will not, and will not permit your end users or others acting on your behalf to, do the following with content returned from the APIs:
Scrape, build databases, or otherwise create permanent copies of such content, or keep cached copies longer than permitted by the cache header;
Present content substantially unchanged through a new channel, including but not limited to: a competing website, in-game add-ons, game overlays, social platforms, or mobile platforms;
Copy, translate, modify, create a derivative work of, sell, lease, lend, convey, distribute, publicly display, or sublicense to any third party;
Misrepresent the source or ownership; or
Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices; or falsify or delete any author attributions, legal notices, or other labels of the origin or source of material.
Any questions about the use of data can be directed to [email protected].
e. Data Scraping
Except as permitted through authorized use of the RPGLogs APIs, you will not perform any data-mining, scraping, crawling, or use any processes that sends automated queries to RPGLogs or any RPGLogs service, or website, or use any other similar methods or tools to gather or extract data other information from any RPGLogs site or service.
Section 6: Brand Features; Attribution
a. Brand Features
"Brand Features" is defined as the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features of each party. Except where expressly stated, the Terms do not grant either party any right, title, or interest in or to the other party's Brand Features. All use by you of RPGLogs' Brand Features (including any goodwill associated therewith) will inure to the benefit of RPGLogs.
b. Attribution
You agree to display any attribution(s) required by RPGLogs as described in the documentation for the API. RPGLogs hereby grants to you a nontransferable, nonsublicenseable, nonexclusive license while the Terms are in effect to display RPGLogs' Brand Features for the purpose of promoting or advertising that you use the APIs. You must only use the RPGLogs Brand Features in accordance with the Terms and for the purpose of fulfilling your obligations under this Section. In using RPGLogs' Brand Features, you must follow the RPGLogs Brand Features Use Guidelines. You understand and agree that RPGLogs has the sole discretion to determine whether your attribution(s) and use of RPGLogs' Brand Features are in accordance with the above requirements and guidelines.
c. Publicity
You will not make any statement regarding your use of an API which suggests partnership with, sponsorship by, or endorsement by RPGLogs without RPGLogs' prior written approval.
d. Promotional and Marketing Use
In the course of promoting, marketing, or demonstrating the APIs you are using and the associated RPGLogs products, RPGLogs may produce and distribute incidental depictions, including screenshots, video, or other content from your API Client, and may use your company or product name.

Section 8: Termination

RPGLogs reserves the right to terminate the Terms with you or discontinue the APIs or any portion or feature or your access thereto for any reason and at any time without liability or other obligation to you.
b. Your Obligations Post-Termination
Upon any termination of the Terms or discontinuation of your access to an API, you will immediately stop using the API, cease all use of the RPGLogs Brand Features, and delete any cached or stored content that was permitted by the cache header under Section 5. RPGLogs may independently communicate with any account owner whose account(s) are associated with your API Client and developer credentials to provide notice of the termination of your right to use an API.
c. Surviving Provisions
When the Terms come to an end, those terms that by their nature are intended to continue indefinitely will continue to apply, including but not limited to: Sections 4b, 5, 8, 9, and 10.
Section 9: Liability for our APIs
a. WARRANTIES
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THE TERMS, NEITHER RPGLOGS NOR ITS SUPPLIERS OR DISTRIBUTORS MAKE ANY SPECIFIC PROMISES ABOUT THE APIS. FOR EXAMPLE, WE DON'T MAKE ANY COMMITMENTS ABOUT THE CONTENT ACCESSED THROUGH THE APIS, THE SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS OF THE APIS, OR THEIR RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, OR ABILITY TO MEET YOUR NEEDS. WE PROVIDE THE APIS "AS IS".
SOME JURISDICTIONS PROVIDE FOR CERTAIN WARRANTIES, LIKE THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN THE TERMS, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE EXCLUDE ALL WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERTAKINGS.
b. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
WHEN PERMITTED BY LAW, RPGLOGS, AND RPGLOGS' SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS, WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, OR DATA; FINANCIAL LOSSES; OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF RPGLOGS, AND ITS SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS, FOR ANY CLAIM UNDER THE TERMS, INCLUDING FOR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US TO USE THE APPLICABLE APIS (OR, IF WE CHOOSE, TO SUPPLYING YOU THE APIS AGAIN) DURING THE SIX MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY.
IN ALL CASES, RPGLOGS, AND ITS SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS, WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY EXPENSE, LOSS, OR DAMAGE THAT IS NOT REASONABLY FORESEEABLE.
c. Indemnification
Unless prohibited by applicable law, if you are a business, you will defend and indemnify RPGLogs, and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and users, against all liabilities, damages, losses, costs, fees (including legal fees), and expenses relating to any allegation or third-party legal proceeding to the extent arising from:
your misuse or your end user's misuse of the APIs;
your violation or your end user's violation of the Terms; or
any content or data routed into or used with the APIs by you, those acting on your behalf, or your end users.
Section 10: General Provisions
a. Modification
We may modify the Terms or any portion to, for example, reflect changes to the law or changes to our APIs. You should look at the Terms regularly. We'll post notice of modifications to the Terms within the documentation of each applicable API, to this website, and/or in the appropriate Discord server channels. Changes will not apply retroactively and will become effective no sooner than 30 days after they are posted. But changes addressing new functions for an API or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If you do not agree to the modified Terms for an API, you should discontinue your use of that API. Your continued use of the API constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.
b. U.S. Federal Agency Entities
The APIs were developed solely at private expense and are commercial computer software and related documentation within the meaning of the applicable U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulation and agency supplements thereto.
c. General Legal Terms
We each agree to contract in the English language. If we provide a translation of the Terms, we do so for your convenience only and the English Terms will solely govern our relationship. The Terms do not create any third party beneficiary rights or any agency, partnership, or joint venture. Nothing in the Terms will limit either party's ability to seek injunctive relief. We are not liable for failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control. If you do not comply with the Terms, and RPGLogs does not take action right away, this does not mean that RPGLogs is giving up any rights that it may have (such as taking action in the future). If it turns out that a particular term is not enforceable, this will not affect any other terms. The Terms are the entire agreement between you and RPGLogs relating to its subject and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject. For information about how to contact RPGLogs, please email [email protected].
Except as set forth below: (i) the laws of Texas, U.S.A. will apply to any disputes arising out of or related to the Terms or the APIs and (ii) ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TERMS OR THE APIS WILL BE LITIGATED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS OF HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, USA, AND YOU AND RPGLOGS CONSENT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THOSE COURTS.
