Thank you for developing on Pro Softnet Corporation's (“we”, “us” or “our”) IDrive EVS (“EVS”) platform! By developing, collaborating or distributing an EVS API application (“Developing on EVS”) you or the entity you represent (“you” and “your”) agree to be bound by these EVS API Terms and Conditions (the “Developer Terms”), which govern your access to and use of the EVS API service, any EVS developer webpages, material and/or documentation, and EVS utilities (collectively, the “Developer Platform”).

1.
Developing on EVS
(a) Any EVS API application developed using the Developer Platform must comply with Pro Softnet Corporation’s policies and requirements set forth on the EVS Developer websites or other documentation provided by us, which may be modified from time to time. We reserve the right to deny requests to Develop on EVS and may revoke access to the Developer Platform if we believe you are in violation of these Developer Terms or if we believe your application may negatively affect the Developer Platform.
(b) We may sometimes review the Developer Platform (including how our services are being accessed and used), but you acknowledge that we have no obligation to do so. We are not responsible for files, user posts on our forums or elsewhere, or any other information accessible through the Developer Platform.
(c) We may limit the number of calls accepted by the API if we believe that the number of calls to the EVS API may negatively impact the EVS API or IDrive services.
(d) Our Developer Platform is a work in progress. It will continue to change over time as we refine and add more features based on the needs of our users and developers. You may develop EVS API applications, web sites, software or other online services or technology using the Developer Platform. You acknowledge that we may change, deprecate or republish EVS APIs for any service or feature of a service from time to time. It is important to note that the functionality or feature is time-dependent and represents the functionality as of now. It is possible that the earlier versions do not support the highlighted functionality as described above. It is your responsibility to ensure that you download the most recent version for better reliability, compatibility and performance.
(e) You are fully responsible for any dealings with (a) the platforms and operating systems on which your EVS API application is distributed and used, and (b) the users of your EVS API application. We have no obligation to provide support to users for your EVS API application. Unless you have written permission to do so from Pro Softnet, you must not state or imply any endorsement by Pro Softnet of your EVS API application, or other products or services, and must not make any representations about your EVS API application, or Pro Softnet’s products or services that are in any way false or misleading.
2.
Conditions of Use
By Developing on EVS, you agree that you are solely responsible for your EVS API applications and/or services. You and your EVS API application must not and must not attempt to:
(a) violate, or encourage or facilitate the violation of, any aspect of our
Acceptable Use Policy;
(b) mislead, confuse, or surprise users. Your EVS API application should be transparent with users about what it does. For example, it should not (i) modify a user’s account settings, data or device, (ii) store or share a user’s content, or (iii) attempt to gain any rights to user content, without open and express consent from the user;
(c) sell digital content to others; EVS is not a media for dissemination of digital content for commercial purposes and we may use procedures, which may vary from time to time, to detect unacceptable levels of usage and may immediately disable offending accounts based on detected misuse;
(d) access or attempt to access our services by any means other than the Developer Platform; or
(e) collect and/or misappropriate user information (e.g., usernames, passwords or other login information).
3.
Use of IP Addresses
IDrive EVS may collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and/or to audit the use of our site. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our policies or terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers, or others. Some services and emails sent from IDrive EVS, such as registration related ones, may display IP addresses along with the message.
4.
Privacy
If you collect any personally identifiable information via your EVS API application, you must ensure that it is collected, processed, transmitted, maintained and used in compliance with all applicable laws and a privacy policy must be posted or otherwise be made available to users of your EVS API application. You will provide a legally adequate privacy notice and protection for the users of your EVS API applications and your services must comply with the terms and conditions of your privacy policy, employ reasonable measures to protect personally identifiable information, and incorporate our privacy policy into your product or service’s privacy policy.
5.
Encryption Passphrase System
IDrive EVS provides encryption of data with a default key* or with a private key defined by the user. IDrive EVS personnel do not have access to user defined keys as they are not stored on the IDrive EVS servers. Any data backed up using IDrive EVS can only be retrieved using this key and if a user forgets or misplace his or her user defined key then the account data may not be retrievable. IDrive EVS is NOT responsible for loss of data arising as a result of such cases. The private key based encryption process encrypts the data contained within the file and not the file-name itself.
* The default option is to have the system choose the key for encryption on storage for ease of use. This will not provide the data security as outlined above. While the data is still encrypted, a user’s data may still be retrievable by IDrive EVS personnel.
Note: For REST APIs, IDrive EVS supports server side private key based AES 256-bit encryption with SSL on data transmission.
6.
Licenses and Restrictions
(a) We hereby grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, fully revocable license to use the IDrive EVS Developer Platform, content, files, sample code and Services subject to the restrictions set forth in these Terms and Conditions.
We also encourage you to incorporate IDrive trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, and/or badges such as “Powered by IDrive” (collectively, IDrive Marks). You agree and acknowledge that except for the limited license above these Developer Terms do not grant you any rights to the IDrive Marks and that all goodwill generated through use of such marks benefits Pro Softnet. If you use any IDrive Marks, you will at no time contest or aid in contesting the validity or ownership of those IDrive Marks or Pro Softnet's rights in them, including, but not limited to, applying to register any trademark, trade name or other designation that is confusingly similar to those IDrive Marks.
(b) You grant to Pro Softnet a non-exclusive, non-transferable license (while you continue to support an EVS API application), to use your Marks and descriptive materials you publish about your EVS API application solely in connection with the promotion of IDrive services accessible through your EVS API application, and to acknowledge or promote your EVS API application. Any use must be in accordance with applicable law and consistent with your trademark usage guidelines (except to the extent they require further permission for the uses described above). We agree and acknowledge that except for the limited license above these Developer Terms do not grant Pro Softnet any rights to your Marks and that all goodwill generated through use of such marks benefits you.

13.
Term and Termination
Pro Softnet may terminate these Developer Terms at any time or suspend your access to the Developer Platform services: (i) if you breach any provision of these Developer Terms; (ii) if Pro Softnet is required to do so by law; (iii) if Pro Softnet ceases to offer any services covered by these Developer Terms; or (iv) for any other reason with 30 days prior written notice to you (or sooner if you or the EVS API application are flagrantly violating the Developer Terms or are a threat to users or the platform).
