When you develop on our platform you are entering into a legal agreement and you agree to all of these terms.
You agree that by developing against the Geronimo Solutions API, you are agreeing to enter into a legally binding contract with Geronimo Solutions Corporation 11539 Park Woods Circle, Unit 106, Alpharetta GA 30005, USA. (“we,” “us,” “our,” and “Geronimo Solutions”).
By registering a software application, website, or product or service you offer (an “Application”) with Geronimo Solutions API (the “API”), you acknowledge that you have understood and agree to be bound by these Geronimo Solutions API Terms of Use (the “Terms”).
If you are developing on our platform on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to register an Application on behalf of that entity and bind it to these Terms. If you are not authorized, you may not accept the Terms or register an Application for someone else.
These Terms govern your use of our API. If you have executed another agreement with us related to your use of our API, then those terms would control your use of our API.
Geronimo Solutions makes our API available to developers as follows:
(1) “Affiliate Program” where you can develop Applications using our API that is available to you immediately upon contacting us for an API key and have agreed to these Terms;
These Terms shall apply to any use of our API endpoints unless you have executed a separate signed partnership agreement, in which case that agreement shall apply (“Affiliate Program”).
As used in these Terms, “API” means programmatic web API, software and other functionality and their associated tools and documentation that Geronimo Solutions makes available via our API or via direct communications with our engineers.
Your use of our API and display of Content in your Application must comply with the technical documentation, usage guidelines, call volume limits, and other documentation maintained at the API or otherwise made available to you (together, the “Developer Documentation”, which are expressly incorporated into these Terms by reference). “Content” means any data or content from our Services or accessed via the API or Geronimo Solutions Servers. “Services” includes content and capabilities available on geronimo.com, travelpledge.com (including Private Label sites), onespare.com (and related sites), Geronimo Solutions-branded apps, and other Geronimo Solutions-related sites, apps, communications and services and technology related thereto.
In the event of any conflict between the Developer Documentation and these Terms, these Terms shall control.
You may use the API if your Application follows these Terms, the Developer Documentation, and is designed to help Geronimo Solutions Users or Nonprofit Organizations be more productive and successful.
In addition to your compliance with the other requirements and obligations set forth in these Terms, you may use the Geronimo API and display Content retrieved via the API in your Application if:
To begin using the API, you must first register with Geronimo Solutions, and then provide basic details about how your Application will interact with the API. The information that you provide to Geronimo Solutions during registration must contain accurate and up-to-date information at all times, including your current title, company, and e-mail address.
You agree that we can use, store, and share information submitted by you to Geronimo Solutions in connection with your Application to contact you, for attribution purposes, handling inquiries from our users or potential users about your Application, for other purposes under these Terms (for example, we may email you with updates regarding the updates to the API), and as otherwise permitted in our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that if you share the contact information of your employees or independent contractors with us, we may contact them in accordance with these Terms.
Once you have successfully registered and met the other requirements for the API, you will be given Access Credentials for your Application. “Access Credentials” means the necessary security keys, and other credentials to access the API. The Access Credentials enable us to associate your API activity with your Application and the Geronimo Solutions Users or Nonprofit Organizations using it. All activities that occur using your Access Credentials are your responsibility. Keep your Access Credentials secret. Do not sell, share, transfer, or sublicense them to any other party other than your employees or independent contractors in accordance with Section 3.1 below. Do not try to circumvent them and do not require your users to obtain their own Access Credentials to use your Application (for example, in an attempt to circumvent call limits).
Geronimo Solutions will provide a test environment for your use while developing your Application and integrating with our API. The test environment is subject to the same limitations as defined by these Terms. You should not connect a production instance of your application to the Geronimo Solutions Test Environment. All data transmitted into the Test Environment should be test data and, where possible, should not be representative of actual people, companies, or organizations. Geronimo Solutions is not responsible for any data transmitted by your application into our Test Environment.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable (except to independent contractors so they may host, develop, test, operate, modify or support your Application in accordance with Section 3.1), non-transferable, non-assignable license under Geronimo Solutions’ intellectual property rights during the Duration (as defined in Section 11.1, below) (a) to use the API to develop, test, operate and support your Application; (b) to distribute or allow access to your integration of the API within your Application to end users of your Application; and (c) to display the Content accessed through the API within your Application.

You must store all Content in a manner which enables you to identify, segregate and selectively delete such Content. The Content must not be stored in a data repository that would enable any third party access (other than the customer or Member to which it relates).

The restrictions of this Section do not apply to data that Users or Nonprofit Organizations provide directly to you and that is separately entered or uploaded to you by the user of your Application.

Your privacy practices must meet applicable legal standards and accurately disclose the collection, use, storage and sharing of data.

NEITHER GERONIMO SOLUTIONS NOR ANY OF OUR SUBSIDIARIES, OR AFFILIATED COMPANIES (EACH A "GERONIMO SOLUTIONS AFFILIATE"), AND OUR AND THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, OR DIRECTORS, SHALL BE CUMULATIVELY LIABLE FOR: (A) ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSS OF USE, PROFIT, REVENUE OR DATA TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PERSON ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF GERONIMO SOLUTIONS MATERIALS ACCESSED THROUGH OR DOWNLOADED FROM GERONIMO SOLUTIONS; OR (B) ANY LIABILITY OR DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($10,000).

These Terms and any claim, cause of action or dispute (“Claim”) arising out of or related to these Terms shall be governed as follows.
For all, including those who live outside of the United States, the laws of the state of Georgia, USA, excluding its conflict of laws rules and notwithstanding any conflicts of law principles and the United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods, shall exclusively govern any dispute relating to these Terms, except that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs everything related to arbitration.

In the event of litigation between the parties arising out of or related to these Terms, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees and costs incurred.
For any Claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or related to these Terms, where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the Claim in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. In the event a party elects arbitration, they shall initiate such arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) provider mutually agreed upon by the parties.
The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules:
If any provision of these Terms is found to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be modified so as to render it enforceable to the maximum extent possible in order to effect the intention of the provision; if a term cannot be so modified, it will be severed and the remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected in any way.

Entities other than Geronimo Solutions Corporation and Geronimo Solutions Ireland Unlimited Company that Geronimo Solutions Corporation owns a 50% or greater interest in are not parties, but intended third party beneficiaries of these Terms, with a right to enforce these Terms directly against you.
