Ironclad API Terms of Use

A. These API Terms of Use (“API Terms”) form a binding contract between you and Ironclad and explain your rights and obligations when using Ironclad’s application programming interfaces (the “Ironclad APIs”).

B. “We”, “our” and “us” refers to Ironclad, Inc. and “you” and “your” refers to the individual, or company or other legal entity, on behalf of which the Ironclad APIs are used.

C. If you are using the Ironclad APIs on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to these API Terms. If you do not have such authority, or do not agree with these API Terms, you must not use the Ironclad APIs.

D. These API Terms do not apply to your use of the software, and other products and services, made available by Ironclad (the “Ironclad Software”), including without limitation, the Ironclad SaaS contract lifecycle management and clickwrap platforms. Your use of the Ironclad Software is subject to a separate written agreement between you and Ironclad or one of its affiliates entered into prior to such use.

F. In the event of an inconsistency between these API Terms and those of an agreement governing (i) your use of the Ironclad Software; or (ii) your partnership with Ironclad, the provisions of such other agreement(s) will prevail to the extent of such inconsistency.
