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.

Warranties and Disclaimers

Why This Matters: Excessive warranty obligations increase liability exposure, while inadequate warranties can leave the client with substandard deliverables.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the API Provider:

Ensure that warranty terms are aligned with industry standards and the company's risk management strategy. Focus on limiting liability while maintaining quality assurance.

If you're the Developer:

Negotiate for reasonable warranty terms that do not overly expose the contractor to liability. Ensure that any disclaimers are clear and do not compromise the quality of deliverables.
