These Autodesk Partner Web Services API Terms of Service (these “Terms”) apply to various web services and software as a service (SaaS) APIs that allow you to develop cloud-based applications, integrate your applications with Autodesk SaaS applications, or build applications that integrate with Autodesk SaaS applications (each, a “Service”), in connection with your partner relationship with Autodesk. By clicking the “I Agree” button (or other button or mechanism designed to acknowledge agreement), or by accessing or using the Service, you (A) indicate that you have read these Terms, understand them, and agree to be legally bound by them on behalf of the entity for which you work or on whose behalf you are acting (for example, as an employee) (“Company”) or, if there is no Company, on behalf of yourself as an individual; and (B) you represent and warrant that you have the right, power and authority to act on behalf of and bind your Company (if any) and yourself. If you or your Company (collectively, “you”) do not agree to all of these Terms or you do not have the right, power, and authority to legally bind your Company (if any) and yourself, then (A) DO NOT click “I Agree” (or other button or mechanism designed to acknowledge agreement) and (B) DO NOT access or use the Service.
1. Definitions. Certain capitalized terms used in these Terms are defined in Section 17 (Definitions) or elsewhere in these Terms.

All Additional Terms, including those referenced through a hyperlink in these Terms, as they may be amended from time to time by Autodesk, are hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference. Autodesk systems and Offerings are meant for business use. Occasional personal use should not interfere with job responsibilities and all use must be compliant with Autodesk’s Code of Business Conduct.

Autodesk will provide notice of those modifications in a manner deemed reasonable by Autodesk (including posting on the Site or via e-mail to your registered e-mail address). Autodesk may also make modifications to any Additional Terms in accordance with the terms of such documents. If any modification has any adverse effect on you or is otherwise unacceptable to you in any respect, you must immediately cease accessing and using the Services and terminate these Terms in accordance with Section 12.4. If you continue to access or use any Service following any notice of modification to these Terms, you will be deemed to have accepted the modified Terms. You can determine when these Terms were last modified by referring to the “LAST UPDATED” legend at the top of these Terms.

3. Service Generally.
3.1 Autodesk will provide the Service to you and your Authorized Users. Subject to, and conditioned on your compliance with, these Terms, during the Service Term Autodesk will provide the Service and you may access and use the Service. You may permit the Service to be accessed and used by your Authorized Users, provided such access and use is solely for your internal business purposes and is in the form made accessible or provided by Autodesk. You agree to be responsible for compliance with these Terms by Your Authorized Users and any other persons who may have access to the Service through you (whether or not such access is authorized by you or by Autodesk). All references to your access and/or use of the Service in these Terms include access and/or use of the Service by your Authorized Users. Autodesk will make the Service available to you and your Authorized Users consistent with the manner in which Autodesk makes the Service generally available to users of the Service.
3.2 You will need to set up an Autodesk account. Autodesk may require you to create or log into one or more accounts to use the Service. For certain Services or features of a Service, Autodesk may require you to obtain and use alphanumeric or cryptographic keys or access tokens that are uniquely associated with your Autodesk accounts or your Application (“Keys”). You must obtain and use such Keys in accordance with these Terms. You agree that you will not share (or permit anyone else to share) any user ID, passwords or Keys with anyone who is not an Authorized User, will not allow any third party (other than Authorized Users) to use or access your accounts, and will not do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your accounts. IF YOU MAKE YOUR KEYS AVAILABLE TO ANY END USER OR OTHER PARTY (INCLUDING AUTHORIZED USERS), YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
3.3 Autodesk may change, limit, or discontinue the Services. Autodesk reserves the right to change or discontinue any Service for any or no reason, and Autodesk bears no responsibility or liability for such change or discontinuation. Autodesk is not required to deliver notice of changes to, or discontinuation of, any Service. You agree that it is your responsibility to ensure, at your own cost, that your access to and use of the Service is compatible with Autodesk’s then-current requirements.
3.4 Autodesk can monitor and enforce the Terms. Autodesk may monitor your usage of the Service to verify compliance with these Terms. You will provide Autodesk with any information or materials that Autodesk reasonably requests to verify your compliance with these Terms, including a copy of each Application and one or more test accounts that will enable Autodesk to access each Application in its entirety free of charge. Autodesk may take enforcement actions against you if Autodesk determines in its sole judgment that you, your Authorized Users, your Application, or End Users (a) violate these Terms, (b) have a security deficiency, (c) have inappropriately accessed, used, or disclosed Autodesk Content or (d) have or may otherwise threaten or damage the reputation of any Autodesk Party.
3.5 Services may be provided by Autodesk’s Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Autodesk has subsidiaries, affiliated legal entities, and subcontractors around the world. Sometimes, these companies will be providing the Service to you on behalf of Autodesk itself. You acknowledge and agree that these Autodesk subsidiaries, affiliates, and subcontractors will be entitled to provide the Service to you.
4. Content.

4.2 Availability of Third Party Materials. In order to use certain Services, Third Party Materials may be made available to you, directly or indirectly, through the Service. In some cases, such Third Party Materials may appear to be a feature or function within, or an extension of, the Services. Accessing such Third Party Materials may cause your Computer, without additional notice, to communicate with a third-party website. Such connectivity or access to third party websites or Third Party Materials is governed by the terms found on such sites or otherwise associated with the Third-Party Materials, and access to and use of Third Party Materials and other products and services from Autodesk may require your agreement to separate terms or payment of additional fees. You agree that any viewing, use or access of Third Party Materials by you or your Authorized Users is at your sole risk. Under no circumstances will Autodesk Parties be liable for any loss or damage caused by your viewing, use or reliance on Third Party Materials. Any dealings between you and any third party in connection with such Third Party Materials, including, without limitation, such third party’s privacy policies, use of personal information, delivery of and payment for goods and services, and any other terms associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such third party. Autodesk may at any time, for any reason, modify or discontinue the availability of any Third Party Materials.
4.3 Deleting Your Content. If you delete Your Content from the Service, you understand it may persist in backup copies.

You will ensure that each Application contains protections that are adequate to keep secure and prevent the interception of any data transmitted to and from such Application or the Service. You will ensure that Applications using HTTPS service(s) will enable only TLS 1.1 or 1.2 and enable only AEAD based cipher suites. Said service must not be able to connect or be used by a wide variety of older clients (SSLv3 & lower). You will not attempt to circumvent any security measures or technical limitations of the Service. You will immediately notify Autodesk of any security deficiencies (including any actual or suspected theft, loss or misuse of data or actual or suspected vulnerabilities that may result in a theft, loss or misuse of data) that you discover or suspect in connection with an Application, the Service or any related Content. You will not include (or permit to be included), in or in connection with an Application, any spyware, malware, virus, worm, Trojan horse or other malicious or harmful code, or any software not expressly and knowingly authorized by each applicable End User prior to being downloaded or installed.

12.1 Termination and other remedies for breach. Autodesk and you each have the right to terminate these Terms if the other party is in breach of the Terms and fails to cure such breach within ten (10) business days after written notice of the breach. In addition, if you fail to make a payment to Autodesk (or a distributor or reseller authorized directly or indirectly by Autodesk) or otherwise fail to comply with the provisions of these Terms or Additional Terms relating to any such Service, Autodesk may, as an alternative to termination, (a) downgrade or modify your existing subscription, payment or service plan (including downgrading you to a non-commercial Free Services plan), (b) suspend the Service and your access to the Service, and/or (c) suspend other Autodesk obligations or your rights under these Terms.
12.2 Other termination rights. Autodesk may also terminate these Terms if you become subject to bankruptcy proceedings, become insolvent, or make an arrangement with your creditors. Autodesk may terminate or modify these Terms if the continued provision of the Services to you or your End Users is prohibited by applicable Law or as otherwise required by applicable Law. These Terms will terminate automatically without further notice or action by Autodesk if you go into liquidation.
12.3 Effect of Termination; Survival. Upon any termination of these Terms for any reason, you, your Applications, your Authorized Users, and End Users must immediately (a) cease accessing or using the Service, the Autodesk Content, API, API Information, API Sample Code, Autodesk Brand Features, Confidential Information, and other Autodesk Materials, (b) destroy all copies of the foregoing that you may be in your (including your Authorized Users’) possession, custody or control, and (c) remove all API Sample Code and API Information (including any code that is based on or uses the API Information or implements the API for the Service) from all of your software and other materials (including any Application).

Autodesk Parties will not be liable for any loss or damage which may be incurred by you or any third parties as a result of the deletion of any of Your Content in connection with the use of any Service. Upon termination of any Service for any reason, Autodesk will have the right to immediately deactivate your account(s) and suspend access to Your Content and, following the Content Retrieval Period, may delete, without notice, Your Content, if any, and all backups thereof, and Autodesk Parties will not be liable for any loss or damage which may be incurred by you or any third parties as a result of such deletion. 13. Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liabilities.
13.1 Warranty Disclaimer. THE AUTODESK MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” AUTODESK PARTIES MAKE NO, AND HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND TO ANY PARTY, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED (EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW), OR STATUTORY, WITH RESPECT TO THE AUTODESK MATERIALS, INCLUDING ALL WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ALL WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE. YOUR USE OF THE AUTODESK MATERIALS IS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK. AUTODESK PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE AUTODESK MATERIALS WILL BE ERROR-FREE, COMPLETE, SECURE OR THE CONTENT WILL NOT BE OTHERWISE LOST OR DAMAGED OR MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS; THAT OPERATION OR AVAILABILITY WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED; OR THAT ERRORS OR FAILURES WILL BE CORRECTED OR REMEDIED. AUTODESK PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE AUTODESK MATERIALS WILL PERFORM IN ANY PARTICULAR MANNER. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR (AND AUTODESK PARTIES ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY AND WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND FOR) (1) THE DECISIONS THAT YOU MAY MAKE REGARDING THE AUTODESK MATERIALS; (2) USE OF THE AUTODESK MATERIALS INCLUDING ANY CONTENT, DATA, INFORMATION, OR OTHER MATERIAL ACCESSED BY YOU OR YOUR END USERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPACT TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS OF DATA; OR (3) ANY EFFECTS ON YOUR BUSINESS THAT MAY RESULT FROM SUCH USE. AUTODESK PARTIES MAKE NO WARRANTIES TO ANY THIRD PARTY. AUTODESK PARTIES DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE IS OR WILL BE APPROPRIATE OR AVAILABLE FOR USE IN ANY PARTICULAR GEOGRAPHIC AREA, JURISDICTION OR LANGUAGE. THIS SECTION WILL BE ENFORCEABLE TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW. NO INFORMATION OR ADVICE (WHETHER WRITTEN, ORAL OR OTHERWISE) PROVIDED BY AUTODESK PARTIES OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY AFFECT THE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS.
13.2 Functionality Limitations. THE SERVICES OFFERED BY AUTODESK ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR YOUR OWN JUDGMENT (INCLUDING PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT) OR INDEPENDENT TESTING, DESIGN, ESTIMATION OR ANALYSIS, AS APPLICABLE. DUE TO THE LARGE VARIETY OF POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS FOR THE SERVICES, THE SERVICES HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED IN ALL SITUATIONS UNDER WHICH THEY MAY BE USED AND MAY NOT ACHIEVE THE RESULTS YOU DESIRE. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF SECTION 4 (CONTENT) OR 13 (DISCLAIMERS), AUTODESK PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER FOR ANY RESULTS OR OUTPUT OBTAINED OR OTHERWISE VIEWED THROUGH THE SERVICES OR ANY MATERIALS DEVELOPED BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUPERVISION, MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF USE OF THE SERVICES AND YOUR APPLICATIONS. THIS RESPONSIBILITY INCLUDES THE DETERMINATION OF APPROPRIATE USES FOR THE SERVICES AND THE SELECTION OF THE SERVICES AND OTHER PROGRAMS TO ACHIEVE YOUR INTENDED RESULTS. YOU ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR ESTABLISHING THE ADEQUACY OF INDEPENDENT PROCEDURES FOR TESTING THE RELIABILITY, ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF SERVICE RESULTS, OUTPUT OR MATERIALS DEVELOPED BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES (IF ANY), INCLUDING ALL ITEMS VIEWED OR DESIGNED USING ANY SERVICE. THERE ARE NO SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS MADE IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES.
13.3 Limitations of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: (A) IN NO EVENT WILL ANY AUTODESK PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER THESE TERMS FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER DERIVED FROM CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE), OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES OR OTHER COVER, OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL OR ECONOMIC LOSS OF ANY KIND, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF, NOR WILL THE AUTODESK PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM A FORCE MAJEURE EVENT OR AN ACT OF A THIRD PARTY OR THROUGH NO FAULT ON ITS BEHALF; AND (B) THE TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF YOU, AND THE TOTAL CUMULATIVE COLLECTIVE LIABILITY OF THE AUTODESK PARTIES, FOR ALL COSTS, LOSSES OR DAMAGES FROM ALL CLAIMS, ACTIONS OR SUITS, HOWEVER CAUSED, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) ALL AMOUNTS PAID OR DUE FROM YOU FOR THE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM (NO MATTER WHEN PAYMENTS WERE ACTUALLY MADE), OR (ii) TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($10,000). You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Autodesk has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any acts and omissions of (including any failure to comply with these Terms by) your Authorized Users or your End Users and for the consequences of any such acts and omissions (including any loss or damage that Autodesk may suffer).
13.4 Basis of the Bargain. You and Autodesk acknowledge and agree that the warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnities in these Terms are a fundamental basis of the bargain between you and Autodesk, and are a material part of the consideration received by Autodesk for the provision of the Service and rights granted under these Terms, and Autodesk would not have entered into these Terms, or provided the Service or rights, in the absence of such warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability and indemnities.
14. Confidential Information.
14.1 Confidentiality obligations apply to information disclosed in connection with the Service. You or Autodesk (as the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose Confidential Information to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) in connection with the Service. The Receiving Party will not (and will not permit anyone else to) (a) use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party except as necessary for performance of the Receiving Party’s obligations and exercise of the Receiving Party’s rights under these Terms or (b) disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to anyone other than the Receiving Party’s employees, contractors, service providers and agents who need to know such Confidential Information for such purposes, and who are subject to confidentiality obligations with the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent than those in these Terms. To safeguard the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will exercise the same degree of care it employs to prevent the unauthorized use and disclosure of its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted). You agree that Autodesk may access and disclose Your Content to comply with any legal obligations or governmental or regulatory body request (including subpoenas or court orders), as part of a legal proceeding involving Autodesk Parties or at your request. You will not disclose these Terms to any third party without the prior written consent of Autodesk, except pursuant to a valid and enforceable order of a court or government agency. Autodesk does not guarantee the confidentiality of non-Autodesk information stored on systems connected to Autodesk’s network.
14.2 Injunctive Relief is available to Autodesk. You acknowledge and agree that your breach or threatened breach of this Section 14 may cause Autodesk irreparable harm and significant injury, the amount of which may be difficult to estimate and ascertain, thus making inadequate any remedy at law or in damages. Therefore, you agree that Autodesk is entitled to injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin any threatened or actual breach of these Terms and any other relief that such court deems appropriate, in addition to any other remedy or remedies available at law or in equity.
15. Indemnification. You will, at your sole expense and to the fullest extent permitted by Law, indemnify and hold harmless (and, at Autodesk's request, defend) the Autodesk Parties against any and all losses, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) suffered or incurred by the Autodesk Parties by reason of any Claim arising out of or relating to (a) your Application or Your Content, including any assertion that your Application or Your Content or the use of either or both (i) infringes any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property of any individual or entity, (ii) misappropriates any individual or entity's trade secret, (iii) violates the privacy or publicity rights or any individual or entity or fails to comply with the privacy or data protection Laws, (iv) contains any libelous, defamatory, disparaging, pornographic, or obscene materials, (v) infringes or violates any other rights of any individual or entity, or (vi) caused death or bodily injury or damage to the real or tangible property of any third party; (b) any breach of, or failure by you (including your Authorized Users) or your End Users, to comply with these Terms; (c) access to or use of the Service by you (including your Authorized Users), your End Users, or anyone who accesses the Service through you (whether or not such access is authorized by you or by Autodesk); or (d) any breach by you of any representations, warranties, covenants, or other provisions in these Terms. Whether or not Autodesk asks you to defend a Claim, you will not agree to any settlement without the prior written consent of Autodesk. If Autodesk asks you to defend a Claim, Autodesk will have the right to participate in the defense of the Claim with counsel of its own choosing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will have no obligation to indemnify and hold harmless the Autodesk Parties against any losses or liabilities suffered or incurred by the Autodesk Parties by reason of any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that (i) the Service as provided by Autodesk infringes a copyright or patent or misappropriates a trade secret of any third party or (ii) the name of the Service infringes a trademark of a third party.
16. General Legal Terms.
16.1 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of California (and, to the extent controlling, the federal Laws of the United States), which will govern without reference to the conflicts-of-laws rules thereof. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act will not apply to (and are excluded from the Laws governing) these Terms. In addition, you agree that any Claim arising under or relating to these Terms will be brought exclusively in (and the parties will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of) the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Marin, or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California in San Francisco.
