Fair Use Policy

At IMPARGO, we strive to offer robust and reliable API services to all our users. To ensure fair and equitable use of our resources, we have established the following Fair Use Policy for the IMPARGO API.

This Fair Use Policy is designed to prevent abuse of the IMPARGO API, ensure a positive experience for all users, and maintain the integrity and performance of our services.

Acceptable Use​

  • Non-Excessive Use: Users are expected to use the API in a manner that is reasonable and not excessive. Excessive use is defined as activity that is significantly higher than the average usage patterns of other API users.
  • Legitimate Business Purposes: The API should be used solely for legitimate business purposes in connection with the services provided by IMPARGO.
  • Respectful Usage: Users must ensure their usage does not negatively impact the performance, security, or availability of the API for other users.

Prohibited Actions​

The following actions are prohibited under this Fair Use Policy:

  • Automated Excessive Requests: Making excessive API requests in an automated manner that could overload or degrade the API performance.
  • Data Scraping and Mining: Using the API for data scraping, data mining, or similar activities without explicit authorization from IMPARGO.
  • Unauthorized Resale: Reselling or redistributing API access to third parties without prior written consent from IMPARGO.
  • Malicious Activity: Engaging in any activity that is illegal, harmful, or disrupts the integrity or performance of the API.

Monitoring and Enforcement​

IMPARGO reserves the right to monitor API usage to ensure compliance with this Fair Use Policy. In the event of suspected or actual misuse, IMPARGO may take appropriate actions, including but not limited to:

  • Temporarily or permanently suspending API access.
  • Throttling API requests to manage excessive usage.
  • Contacting the user to discuss adjustments to their API usage.

Changes to the Fair Use Policy​

IMPARGO may update this Fair Use Policy from time to time. Users will be notified of any significant changes via email or through our website. Continued use of the API after changes have been made constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
