Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, and/or using the website at www.WhoAPI.com or any other website owned or controlled by WhoAPI Inc. and it’s subsidiaries (“WhoAPI”) including, but not limited to Webmaster.Ninja, (collectively, the “Site”), including any service provided on or via the Site (the “Services”) you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the “TOS”), by the terms of our online Privacy Policy and any other document or regulation referenced and incorporated herein.

The Site, including all information, data, documents, content, materials, graphics, logos, API code and software (the “Materials”) is made available to you for your personal, non-commercial use and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these TOS.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THEN DO NOT USE OR ACCESS OUR SITE/SERVICES.

WhoAPI reserves the right to change the TOS from time to time at its sole discretion. Your use of the Site will be subject to the most current version of the TOS posted on the Site. Any changes to the TOS shall be effective as of the date published. You acknowledge and agree that your only remedy if you do not agree with any such change is to stop using the Site and/or our Services.

No amendment or modification shall apply to a dispute under the Section entitled “Disputes — Arbitration” arising, or arising out of events occurring, before the amendment or modification became effective.

2. Eligible Users

You may not use the Site if (i) you are not at least 18 years old, or (ii) you lack legal capacity to enter into legally binding contracts, or (iii) use of the Site or Services is prohibited by law in the country where you are located.

3. Membership and Fees

Access to the Site and some of our Services may be without charge and/or without requiring prior registration. That does not alter the binding effect of these TOS.

Other Services and Materials are available to you only if you have provided WhoAPI certain Registration Information (as such term is defined in the WhoAPI Privacy Policy) and/or created a WhoAPI ID and password (in each case, creating a WhoAPI “Account”).

Additional Services are made available to users who pay membership fees (“Members”). The rates for membership and Service fees are periodically published on the Site. Before applying for membership or use of any of our chargeable Services, you will be asked to review and accept the fees applicable. All fees are non-refundable and due in advance.

For the purposes of these TOS, “Users” shall refer to both registered and unregistered, paying and non-paying, users.

Users who wish to become Members or purchase our Services may pay the applicable fees via Paypal. Users paying via Paypal are responsible for maintaining their own PayPal accounts, initiating payments and abiding by their PayPal billing agreement. WhoAPI has no direct access to the PayPal accounts of our Users and Users must therefore initiate paid memberships using the PayPal “buy now” link on the Site. WhoAPI is not responsible for other payments sent to us from PayPal accounts not using the “buy now” link on our Site.

Users may also pay their membership fees via wire transfers, but must contact support to create the invoice manually. Due to the manual process, we offer this option only for long term contracts or larger packages.

Memberships and Services are offered at our sole discretion and may be temporarily or permanently disabled at any time for any reason.

4. Use of Materials

Without the prior written consent of WhoAPI, or unless specifically allowed by certain paid Services, Users are not allowed to copy, download, print, distribute, republish, sell or otherwise use or make the Materials available to others.

These TOS shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the State of Delaware, without application of principles of conflicts of laws. You expressly agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the state of Delaware. If any part of the TOS is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the TOS shall continue in effect.

WhoAPI may freely assign or delegate all or any part of its rights or obligations under these TOS without prior notice or consent.
