About this Gig
Your API is a highly valuable assetprotect it from abuse and theft.
If you are exposing your application programming interface (API) to third-party developers, users, or partners, a generic Terms of Service will not protect you. You need a specialized API Licensing Agreement to prevent data scraping, system overload, and intellectual property theft.
As a licensed U.S. attorney (Bar #1075034) focused on Software and Cyber Law, I draft comprehensive, commercially viable API agreements tailored to your technology.
Your API Agreement Will Cover:
- License Grant & Restrictions: Defining exactly what users can and cannot do.
- Rate Limiting & Throttling Rights: Protecting your servers from abuse.
- Data Scraping Prohibitions: Preventing competitors from stealing your database.
- Monetization & Payment Terms: For commercial and tiered API access.
- IP Ownership: Ensuring your underlying code and data remain strictly yours.
Don't leave your tech infrastructure legally exposed. Send me a message with your API details to secure your licensing agreement today.

FAQ
What is the difference between this and a normal Terms of Service?
A standard TOS governs end-users on a website. An API agreement specifically governs developers interacting with your backend data, which requires much stricter technical limitations.
Will this agreement prevent users from reverse-engineering my API?
Yes, I include strict prohibitions against reverse-engineering, decompiling, and unauthorized scraping.
Does the Premium package include an SLA?
Yes. The premium package includes a Service Level Agreement (SLA) detailing uptime commitments and maintenance windows for enterprise clients.
Can this be adapted for a free (open) API?
Absolutely. I can draft terms for public/free APIs that focus on usage limits, liability protection, and preventing abuse, rather than monetization.
What if my API connects to third-party platforms?
I will include clauses that disclaim liability for third-party platform outages and ensure your users understand the data flow boundaries.
