Description of Service

Unwired Labs (India) Pvt Ltd ("LocationIQ") develops, sells and manages the LocationIQ API service, a real time service that provides responses to correctly formatted requests for location, map tiles, addresses and other related information (the "Service"). Billing and invoicing may be carried out by our affiliates, subsidiaries, or local resellers on our behalf. Responses include any response or collection of responses to a call to Service’s servers from a mobile device that may include: (i) location data; (address, latitude, longitude, map tiles and other variables related to the location); or (ii) responses that may indicate the Service was unable to serve the request (collectively, "Responses").

License Grant

Subject to your ("Licensee") full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, LocationIQ grants Licensee a non-exclusive, revocable, nonsublicensable, nontransferable license to use the LocationIQ application program interface and other materials provided by LocationIQ (collectively, "API") to develop, reproduce, display and distribute applications, websites and/or services (collectively "Applications") that interoperate with the Service. Licensee may not use the API for any other purpose without LocationIQ' prior written consent.

Developer API Key

In order to access the API, you must register for a unique API key (the "Key") from LocationIQ. You will be issued the Key for accessing the API and managing your account. You may only access the API with the Key issued to you by LocationIQ. Access may not always be available. You may not sell, transfer, sublicense or otherwise disclose your Key to any other party. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy and security of your Key. You are fully responsible for all activities that occur using your Key, regardless of whether such activities are undertaken by you or a third party. You are responsible for maintaining up-to-date and accurate information (including a current email address and other required contact information) for your account. LocationIQ may discontinue your access to the API if such contact information is not up-to-date and/or you do not respond to communications directed to such coordinates.

API Modifications

LocationIQ reserves the right to modify the Service and the API, and to release subsequent versions of the API. You may be required to use the most recent version of the API in order to maintain functionality of your Application with the Service. A trial account of the API is currently provided for free, but LocationIQ reserves the right to charge for the API (or additional features or functionality) in the future.

Monitoring Usage

You agree to provide us with access to your Application and/or other materials related to your use of the API as reasonably requested by us to verify your compliance with this Agreement. You agree that we may monitor your Application's usage of the API and you agree not to block or interfere with such efforts.

Usage Limitations

LocationIQ may limit the number of network calls that your Application may make via the API, or anything else about the API and the Responses it accesses as LocationIQ deems appropriate, in its sole discretion. In addition, LocationIQ may change usage limitations at any time. In addition to its other rights under this Agreement, LocationIQ may utilize technical measures to prevent over-usage and/or stop usage of the API by an Application after any usage limitations are exceeded.

Location Data

By using the Service, you agree and consent to LocationIQ' and its partners' and licensees' transmission, collection, maintenance, processing and use of your Responses data to provide and improve the Service and other location-based products and services.

LocationIQ does not guarantee the availability, accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of location data or any other data provided by the Service.

Unique Device Information

If an Application uses unique device information (e.g. IMEI, IMSI) to authenticate with LocationIQ' servers, LocationIQ will ensure that such data is only used in conjunction with the intended use of the Application. LocationIQ will not disclose any unique device information for any other purpose, or disclose such information to any person, without the prior written approval of Licensee.
