Terms governing use of the Egnyte APIs and Developer Portal.

Background

A. Egnyte, Inc. ("Egnyte", "we", "us") provides a service that facilitates the storage and sharing of files over the Internet (the "Service").

B. Under this Agreement, EGNYTE will provide its APIs to you, to enable you to modify certain of your own applications so that users of such applications are able to access and use the Service through such applications.

C. BY CLICKING ON THE "SUBMIT" OR "AGREE" OR "ACCEPT" BUTTON OR BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. If you agree to this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to this Agreement. In such event, "you" will refer to that company or other legal entity.

1. Description, Licenses, and Restrictions

1.1 Description of EGNYTE APIs. "APIs" means the EGNYTE integration APIs (in "REST" form), accompanying documentation, sample code and related materials, including any updates that we may provide to you from time to time. The APIs allow you to create or modify your own applications so that users of such applications are able to access and use the EGNYTE Service via such applications.

1.2 Developer Accounts and Access Codes. You will be required to submit to us information about the applications for which you wish to use the APIs. EGNYTE will review such information and, if EGNYTE approves such application in its discretion, EGNYTE will create a developer account for you. You will be issued one or more unique security keys and passwords (collectively, "Access Codes") for accessing the Sandbox Account and APIs. You may only access your account with the Access Code issued to you by EGNYTE. You may not sell, transfer, sublicense or otherwise disclose your Access Codes to any other party. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy and security of your Access Codes and for all activities that occur using your Access Codes. API Keys will be granted to domain Admins; Power and Standard users must request from their domain Admin for access.

1.3 APIs License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable license under EGNYTE's intellectual property rights, during the term of this Agreement, (a) to use the APIs to develop, modify, test, and support your Application, and (b) to distribute or allow access to your integration of the APIs within your Application to end users. You have no right to distribute or allow any third party to have access to the APIs. This Agreement does not allow you to resell the EGNYTE Service.

1.4 Brand Features License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable and non-transferable license during the term of this Agreement to display our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos and domain names (collectively, "Brand Features") to promote or advertise your integration of the APIs in your Application. You agree not to display our Brand Features in any way that is misleading, defamatory, infringing, libelous, disparaging, obscene, or otherwise objectionable to EGNYTE.

1.5 Limitations. Every Application that is developed utilizing EGNYTE APIs requires Access Codes as described in Section 1.2. We may limit the number of calls accepted by the API if we believe that the number of calls may negatively impact the Egnyte API or Egnyte service. If an Application exceeds the API call limits, EGNYTE has the right to notify you, modify the call limitation at its discretion, or disable any Application that exceeds the limit if you cannot be reached.

1.6 Usage Limitations. You agree not to use the APIs in a manner that exceeds reasonable request volume or constitutes excessive or abusive usage. EGNYTE may limit the number of network calls that your Application may make via the APIs as we deem appropriate in our sole discretion.

1.7 Other Restrictions. In addition to other restrictions contained in this Agreement, you agree not to: use the APIs for illegal purposes; remove proprietary rights notices; sell or sublicense the APIs or Access Codes; charge fees for access to EGNYTE's Service; claim sponsorship or endorsement by EGNYTE; reverse-engineer the APIs; use the APIs in applications that compete with EGNYTE; interfere with or disrupt the EGNYTE Service; use automated retrieval devices on the EGNYTE Service; transmit viruses or malicious code; or use the APIs for purposes where failure could lead to death or personal injury.

1.8 Support and Maintenance. EGNYTE may provide updates, upgrades, modifications and new releases of the EGNYTE APIs from time to time but is not obligated to do so. You agree to notify EGNYTE of any errors or bugs you discover and EGNYTE will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct such errors in the next release.

1.9 Monitoring. You agree to provide us with access to your Application and/or other materials related to your use of the APIs as reasonably requested by us to verify your compliance with this Agreement.

1.10 EGNYTE Independent Development. EGNYTE may be independently creating applications, content and other products or services that may be similar to or competitive with your Application, and nothing in this Agreement restricts EGNYTE from creating and fully exploiting such items, without any obligation to you.
