API Terms of use

Last updated: July 9^th, 2019

Scite, Inc. (referred to here as “Scite”) makes available its application programming interface (“Scite API”) subject to this Terms of Use agreement (the “API Terms”). Scite may update, amend or modify these API Terms from time to time. By accessing and continuing to use the Scite API, you (“You” or “Your” where applicable) signify Your binding acceptance of these API Terms (as updated on the Scite developer website located at https://scite.ai/apiterms (the “Scite Developer Website”) from time to time), and You represent that You are of legal age to form a binding contract. If you are using the Scite API in your capacity as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor or other representative of any individual, partnership, limited liability company, association, corporation, trust or other entity, then such individual or entity and any other individuals or entities under common control with such individual or entity shall be included in the definition of “You.” If You disagree with any of these API Terms, Scite does not grant You a license to use the Scite API.

These API Terms may be supplemented by one or more written agreements between Scite and You establishing pricing and other terms governing your use of the Scite API (each, a “Statement of Work” or “SOW”). Further, these API Terms supplement the Scite Terms of Service and Scite Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Scite Policies”), as published under the domain https://scite.ai (the “Scite Main Website”) and as amended from time to time. The terms and conditions of the Scite Policies shall fully apply to these API Terms, save for the exceptions that are explicitly stated in these API Terms. To the extent of any conflict between the API Terms and any applicable SOW, the applicable SOW shall control. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in these API Terms have the definitions set forth in the Scite Policies.

You should monitor the Scite Developer Website to ensure You are aware of any changes in the API Terms, the Scite Policies, or any other applicable legal documents. In the event You cannot agree to any changes in any applicable legal document, You will immediately cease any and all use of the Scite API and, where applicable, any and all use of the Scite Service.

Accounts and Account Codes

To access and use the Scite API, You must create an account. You may create only one (1) account and You must complete the registration process by providing current, complete and accurate information (including Your email address) when prompted. If Your contact information changes, You agree that You will promptly update Your account information to reflect those changes. You will be issued one or more unique passwords, security codes, or tokens (each, a “Security Code”) for accessing the Scite API and managing Your account. You may only access Your account with the Security Codes provided to You by Scite. You may not sell, transfer, sublicense or otherwise disclose Your account or Security Codes to any other party. Maintaining account security is very important to the integrity and security of the Scite API and the Scite Service; You acknowledge that any failure to maintain the security of your account in accordance with these API Terms shall be a material breach of these API Terms. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Your account and Security Codes. You agree to notify Scite immediately if You believe that Your account or Security Codes have been compromised. You are fully responsible for all activities that occur using Your account and Security Codes, regardless of whether such activities are undertaken by You or a third party.

Licensed Uses and Restrictions

As an exception to Section 4 of the Scite Terms of Service, and subject to Your compliance with these API Terms and all other terms of the Scite Policies, Scite grants to You a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right to use the Scite API for the sole purpose of developing software applications that can interface and communicate with the Scite Service for the purpose of displaying and transmitting Transmitted Content via the Scite Service, as made available on or through such software applications (e.g., for enabling users of such software applications that displays a scientific scholarly work to view statistics regarding the frequency with which such work is cited in other scientific scholarly works).

As used herein, the term “Transmitted Content” means metadata arising from the Scite Service regarding the citation history of individual scientific scholarly works or otherwise permitting users to analyze the veracity of scientific scholarly works. Transmitted Content does not include the text of, or any text “snippets” excerpted from, any scientific scholarly works. Transmitted Content may be provided pursuant to agreements between Scite and certain third-party licensors of Scite, including, without limitation, CrossRef (collectively, “Transmitted Content Providers”).

Through Your use of the Scite API, You agree that You will not, directly or indirectly, violate any applicable laws, the rights of others, or the operational and security mechanisms of the Scite Service. Examples of such prohibited behavior include, but are not limited to, directly or indirectly:

• Using the Scite API for any application that promotes, conducts, or contributes to fraudulent, obscene, pornographic and/or illegal activities, including deceptive impersonation or activities involving the exploitation of children.
• Using the Scite API to display or imply any kind of political endorsement, whether by Scite or any Transmitted Content Provider.
• Using the Scite API for any application to violate anyone's privacy rights (e.g. distributing unwanted commercial solicitations, such as, but not limited, to spyware and adware), to infringe on intellectual property rights (including copyrights and trademark rights), to sponsor or operate any contest, sweepstakes or other promotion, to harass or defame others, or to promote hatred towards any group of people.

• Using the Scite API for any application that has not been approved in writing by Scite (whether as part of an SOW or otherwise) and that causes increased demand on the servers operating the Scite Service (i.e., more demand than a single person could produce by normal use of the Scite Service without Your application or Your use of the Scite API).
• Using the Scite API in any manner that advocates, encourages, condones, promotes or facilitates the infringement of any third-party intellectual property rights, including, without limitation, trademark rights, copyright rights, patent rights and/or trade secrets.
• Altering, modifying, deleting, or otherwise interfering with or in any manner compromising any services and/or features contained on or through the Scite Service, including, without limitation, any functionality of the Scite Service enabling its users to analyze the veracity of scientific scholarly works, in each case except as expressly permitted by the Scite Policies.
• Using the Scite API in a manner that disrupts, circumvents, or interferes with any part of the Scite Service; or forges or modifies any data processed or distributed by the Scite Service, such as, but not limited to spyware, adware or stealware.
• Using the Scite API for any application that adversely impacts the behavior of other applications using the Scite API.
• Using the Scite API for any application that constitutes, promotes or is used in connection with or installs spyware, adware, or other malicious programs or code.
• Using the Scite API for any application that constitutes, promotes or is used in connection with or installs any type of bot, virus, worm, Trojan-horse routing, trap door, time bomb or any other codes or instructions that are designed to monitor, distort, delete, damage or disassemble the Scite Service (or its ability to communicate and function with other computers running the Scite Service), or any user’s computer.
• Selling, leasing, or sublicensing the Scite API or access thereto.
• Attempting to redistribute information about a user of the Scite Service without express permission of the user.

• Attempting to modify other software, the operating systems or configuration settings of the user or others directly or through manipulating the Scite Service without the express and informed permission of the user.
• Attempting to modify other software, the operating systems or configuration settings of other services directly or through manipulating the Scite Service without a party’s express and informed permission.

Further, You agree that:

• Your application will at all times display and promote the ability of users of your Scite API-enabled application to use the Scite Service and provide a link to the Scite Main Website.
• You will comply with the requirements and specifications related to application design and the use and presentation of the User Interface stated in “Attribution” below.
• You will not distribute any application online through one or more website(s) that is/are in any way similar to the Scite Main Website or use any Scite trademarks, or words confusingly similar or describing Scite’s products or services, as the registered URL for Your website(s), except as expressly approved in writing by Scite.

• Your Scite API-enabled application will not collect, use, store or disclose any user’s personal information or data in any manner that violates applicable laws, rules or regulations. If Scite, in its sole discretion but in good faith, determines that You are collecting personal information or data through any Scite API-enabled application in any misleading, unauthorized or unfair way, then Scite shall have the right to immediately terminate these API Terms.
• You will adopt and publish a privacy policy that is easily accessible to users, that complies with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and that clearly and concisely discloses how You collect, use, store, and disclose data collected from users through the Scite API. You will only collect the personal information or other data or information of a user which is necessary for the function of Your application and only as expressly described in Your privacy policy.
• You will never collect the Scite password used by users to log in to their Scite account (each, a “Scite Password“). If users need a separate password to use Your application, You will either (i) automatically generate a unique password and communicate it to the user, or (ii) actively encourage users to use a password different from their Scite Password.

Limitations on Usage

Scite may limit the number of network calls that Your applications may make with the Scite API, and/or the maximum Transmitted Content that may be accessed, or anything else about the Scite API and the Transmitted Content, all of which shall be done at Scite’s sole discretion except as provided in an applicable SOW. Scite may change such usage limits at any time and without notice except as otherwise provided in an applicable SOW. Without limiting any of its rights under the Scite Policies, these API Terms or otherwise, Scite may use technical means to prevent overusage and/or stop usage of the Scite API if an application exceeds usage limitations.

Monitoring Your Use of the Scite API

You agree to provide Scite and the Transmitted Content Providers with access to Your Application and/or other materials related to Your use of the Scite API as requested by Scite or the Transmitted Content Providers to verify Your compliance with these API Terms. You agree that Scite and the Transmitted Content Providers may monitor the applications You develop (including, but not limiting to, crawling such applications) solely for purposes of ensuring your compliance with these API Terms and You agree not to block or interfere with such efforts by Scite or the Transmitted Content Providers.

Your Use of Transmitted Content

Except as otherwise provided in an SOW, You agree to make Transmitted Content available to users of Your application in accordance with your ordinary pricing models and shall not charge users of Your application an additional fee for use of a “premium” version (or similarly named version) of Your application that, when compared to the “standard” version (or similarly named version) of Your application, is materially different solely in that it makes Transmitted Content available to the user. You must clearly and conspicuously identify the source of all Transmitted Content as received from Scite. You may not modify, obscure or otherwise disable the functioning of links to Scite or Transmitted Content Providers’ applications or websites provided within Transmitted Content except with Scite’s prior written consent. You shall not omit, modify or obscure any aspect of the Transmitted Content except with Scite’s prior written consent. Any use by You that either Scite or any Transmitted Content Provider determines is unacceptable for any reason shall be deemed a violation of these API Terms and Scite may, at its discretion, immediately terminate the licenses granted herein or discontinue Your access to the Scite API.

Termination

Your license to the Scite API under these API Terms continues until it is terminated by either party. You may terminate the license by discontinuing use of the Scite API. Scite may terminate the license at any time for any reason. Scite may also disable or remove from the Scite Service or otherwise any application developed by You under the Scite API at any time for any reason. Without limiting the foregoing, Your rights to use the Scite API terminate automatically if (i) You violate the letter or spirit of any of these API Terms or the Scite Policies, (ii) Scite publicly posts a general written notice of termination of these API Terms on the Scite Developer Website, (iii) Scite sends a written notice of termination to You, or (iv) Scite disables Your access to the Scite API or disables or removes from the Scite Service any application developed by You under the Scite API.

Further, You shall delete all data specific to any end user or their session utilizing Your Scite API-enabled application within twenty-four (24) hours of the expiration of such session.

User Ratings and Comments

Scite may, but shall not be required to, provide a user rating system or evaluation method on the Scite Developer Website for registered users to post positive or negative comments and ratings about the applications developed by You using the Scite API. This system will allow users to view any comments about a particular application or application developer which have been posted by other users who have downloaded and installed their applications. Users may choose to make decisions on whether to download and install applications developed by You based on other users’ ratings and comments. Please note that Scite does not intend to censor nor check for accuracy the opinions or comments of its registered users as posted on other users’ rating histories, nor is Scite legally responsible for the nature of the opinions or comments posted (whether they are libelous, defamatory or otherwise).

Dispute Resolution

1. Negotiations. Before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding, You and Scite agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute, controversy or claim related to these API Terms (“Claim”) (except those Claims expressly provided in clause (f) below) informally for at least thirty (30) days. Negotiations will begin upon written notice. Scite will send its notice to Your billing or other physical address (if on file with Scite) and email You a copy to the email address You have provided. You will send Your notice to Scite, Inc., 334 Leonard St. #6, Brooklyn, NY 11211, Attention: CEO.

2. Binding Arbitration.

Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The arbitration will be conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”) and under the terms set forth in these API Terms. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this clause (b) and the JAMS Rules, the terms in this clause (b) will control and prevail.

The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator’s decision regarding the Claim, the award given and the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator’s decision is based. The determination of whether a Claim is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Except as otherwise provided in these API Terms, (i) You and Scite may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator; and (ii) the arbitrator’s decision is final, binding on all parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction, provided that any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to follow applicable law.

   BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND SCITE ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

3. Arbitration Fees. If You initiate arbitration for a Claim, You will only need to pay an arbitration initiation fee of $250 and Scite will pay all other costs charged by JAMS for initiating the arbitration. If Scite is initiating arbitration for a Claim, Scite will pay all costs charged by JAMS for initiating the arbitration. All other fees and costs of the arbitration will be charged pursuant to the JAMS Rules. Notwithstanding anything in the clause titled “Attorneys’ Fees” above to the contrary, You will not be required to pay Scite’s attorneys’ fees or other costs if You do not prevail in the arbitration.
4. Location. The arbitration will take place in New York, New York, unless the parties mutually agree to video, phone and/or Internet connection appearances. Any Claim not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction in New York, New York, United States of America, and You and Scite agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
5. Limitations. You and Scite agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Claim between Scite and You individually. YOU AND SCITE AGREE THAT (A) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (B) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY; AND (C) NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER.
6. Exceptions to Negotiations and Arbitration. You and Scite agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration: (i) any Claims seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of Your or Scite’s intellectual property rights; (ii) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (iii) any claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such courts’ jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration. As some jurisdictions do not allow for some of the dispute resolution provisions set forth in these API Terms, some of these provisions may not apply to You.
7. Governing Law. Except as otherwise provided in API Terms, these API Terms shall be is governed by, and will be construed under, the laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to choice of law principles.
8. Severability. You and Scite agree that if any portion this “Dispute Resolution” section is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of clause (f)), that portion shall be severed and the remainder of this section shall be given full force and effect. If clause (f) is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither You nor Scite will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling within that portion of clause (f) found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Claim shall be exclusively decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within New York, New York, United States of America, and You and Scite agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
