IXON API Terms

1. API Access

• IXON will provide an application-ID to enable Customer usage of the API, within 6 business days after the Start Date of the agreement between Customer and IXON, or, if the signed contract is received later, a commensurate number of days later.
• Subject to the terms outlined below, the Terms of Use of IXON, any agreement between Customer and IXON, and applicable law, IXON grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable, and revocable license to access and use the API, and to build integrations between the API and other software applications, websites, or products (collectively, “applications”) for Customer’s business purposes.
• IXON may change, amend or terminate these terms at any time. Customer’s use of the API after any change or amendment means Customer agrees to the new terms.
