The API Terms govern the use of the public API provided by grapeminds GmbH by business customers ("API User").

1. Subject Matter

grapeminds GmbH provides a technical interface ("public API") through which defined data may be retrieved and – where expressly supported – transmitted.

The API is provided solely for integrating the API User's own systems with Grapeminds.

No entitlement exists to the provision of specific endpoints or functionalities. grapeminds GmbH may modify, extend, or discontinue API features at any time, provided that the legitimate interests of the API User are taken into account.

2. Usage Rights and License

grapeminds GmbH grants the API User a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use the public API within the scope of the subscribed API plan.

Use of the API is permitted exclusively for the internal purposes of the API User.

Distribution, sublicensing, disclosure, storage, permanent archiving, or reuse of API data outside the specific integration purpose is prohibited without the prior written consent of grapeminds GmbH.

The use of API data for developing or enriching external databases, data products, or analytical models is also prohibited unless explicitly permitted in writing.

3. Technical Use and Fair Use Policy

The API may only be used in accordance with the technical specifications, authentication schemes, and permitted usage classes.

A Fair Use Policy applies. grapeminds GmbH reserves the right to apply technical limitations, such as rate limits, quotas, or access restrictions, to ensure operational stability.

Excessive automated requests, abusive traffic patterns, or any conduct that may impair the performance or security of the API is prohibited.

In the event of misuse, instability, or imminent risk, grapeminds GmbH may throttle, restrict, or suspend API access temporarily or permanently.

4. Data Processing and Privacy

The API User may only transmit personal data to the API if they are legally permitted to do so.

grapeminds GmbH processes personal data exclusively in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR.

Where required by law, a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) will be concluded.

The API User is responsible for obtaining all necessary consents from its end users.

grapeminds GmbH reserves the right to charge additional fees if usage exceeds contractual limits or if exceptional system load results from the API User's activities.

8. Changes to the API Terms

grapeminds GmbH may amend these API Terms with reasonable notice. Continued use of the API after the effective date of such changes constitutes acceptance of the amended Terms.

9. Term and Termination

API subscriptions renew on a monthly basis and may be terminated at the end of the billing period.

grapeminds GmbH may suspend or terminate access if payments fail, if misuse is detected, or if these Terms are violated.

10. Liability
