API Terms of Service & Developer Agreement
An API Terms of Service & Developer Agreement governs developer access to an organization‚ APIs, data, and platform. This playbook details provisions around usage rights, rate limits, data handling, and security compliance.
Termination Rights
Negotiation strategy
Ensure termination rights are clear and provide flexibility to exit the contract if the Contractor fails to meet performance standards. Negotiate for a reasonable notice period for termination for convenience.
Negotiate for a longer notice period for termination for convenience to allow time to adjust operations. Ensure termination for cause requires a material breach and an opportunity to cure.
Essential elements
1
Termination for Cause
End contract for material breach.
2
Termination for Convenience
End contract with notice period.
3
Termination Notice
Written notice requirement.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if the notice period is too short or if the grounds for termination are too broad.
EDIT
Reject if the clause allows termination without cause or notice, creating excessive risk.
ADD
Add language to specify jurisdictional compliance and mutual termination rights.
PRO TIP
Always align termination rights with jurisdictional laws to avoid legal complications.

Alternative scenarios & positions
