15. Data API — Additional Terms
Data API terms — v1, under final legal review.
15.1 Scope
These API Terms govern access to and use of the YachtMaster Data API ("the API"), a separate offering from the core YachtMaster platform. They apply alongside, and in the event of conflict take precedence over, the general Terms above for anything specific to the API.
15.2 Accounts and API Keys
Access to the API requires a registered account and an active API key. You are responsible for keeping your key confidential and for all activity made under it. Rotate or revoke your key from your dashboard at any time if you suspect it has been exposed.
15.3 Data Protection
We process your account email to provide the Data API on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of this contract), and we use Stripe as a separate controller for payment processing, which may involve transfers outside the EU/EEA under appropriate safeguards (Standard Contractual Clauses). The taxonomy data itself contains no personal data. See our Privacy Notice for details.
15.4 Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Share, sell, sublicense, or publish your API key
- Circumvent or attempt to circumvent rate limits or usage metering
- Use the API to build a substantially similar competing reference dataset
- Probe, scan, or attempt to disrupt the availability of the API
- Use the API for any unlawful purpose
15.5 No Resale of Data
The data returned by the API (makes, models, engines, and related taxonomy records) is licensed for use within your own products and services. You may not extract, repackage, and resell or redistribute the data as a standalone dataset or competing data product.
15.6 Fair-Use Rate Limits
Each plan includes a monthly request allowance. Requests beyond the included allowance are billed as overage at the posted rate. We apply reasonable rate limits to protect service availability for all customers; sustained abusive traffic may be throttled or suspended regardless of remaining allowance.
15.7 Billing
The API is billed on a recurring monthly subscription at the rates and request allowances published on our Data API page, plus metered overage for usage beyond the included allowance. Fees are charged to the card on file via our payment processor. Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable.
15.8 Cancellation
You may cancel at any time from your dashboard's billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access to the API until then. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these API Terms or non-payment.
15.9 Availability and "As Is"
THE API IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation and may perform maintenance that temporarily affects availability.
15.10 Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These Data API terms are governed by the substantive laws of Sweden, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Stockholm District Court (Stockholms tingsrätt) as the court of first instance for any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms.
15.11 Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, YachtMaster's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Data API or these terms shall not exceed the total fees you paid for the Data API in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. YachtMaster shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill, even if advised of their possibility. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded under mandatory law, including liability for intent (uppsåt) or gross negligence (grov vårdslöshet).
15.12 Business Capacity
The Data API is offered to businesses only. By subscribing, you represent and warrant that you are entering into these terms in the course of a trade, business, craft or profession and not as a consumer, and — where applicable — that the VAT number you provide is valid. Consumer-protection rules, including any statutory right of withdrawal, do not apply to this business-to-business agreement.
15.13 Data & Compilation Warranty; Indemnity
YachtMaster warrants that it has the right to make the taxonomy data available to you under these terms. You will indemnify YachtMaster against third-party claims arising from your use of the Data API or the data in breach of these terms (including the no-resale and acceptable-use provisions). Each party's indemnity obligations are subject to the Limitation of Liability above.
15.14 Changes
We may update these API Terms, the API itself, or pricing from time to time. Additive, backwards-compatible changes to the API may be made without notice; material changes to these API Terms or pricing will be communicated by email in advance where practicable.
