The following Terms of Service (ToS) may read like a legal document because, well, it is a legal document. If you're going to invest lots of time in using our APIs we recommend you read it, maybe even twice, because we want you to gain comfort and confidence in the agreement.
Anyway, thanks for getting this far. Please continue reading and we can't wait to see what you build!
