About this Gig
Your API is a valuable asset. It's the gateway for other developers to build upon your platform, but without strong legal protections, it can be a source of immense risk. Uncontrolled usage can lead to server strain, data misuse, and IP theft.
As a UK Solicitor (SRA #503109) with expertise in technology law, I will draft clear and enforceable API Terms of Use (also known as a Developer Agreement) to govern access to your technology and protect your business.
Your custom API Terms will establish crucial rules on:
- License Grant: Clearly defining what developers can and cannot do with your API.
- Usage Restrictions: Prohibiting abuse, reverse-engineering, and malicious use.
- Data & Privacy: Outlining how user data accessed via the API must be handled.
- Rate Limiting & Throttling: Your right to manage server load and ensure service stability.
- Attribution & Branding: Rules for how developers must credit your service.
- Limitation of Liability & Warranty Disclaimers: Protecting you from legal claims arising from third-party use.
Don't let your technology be exploited. A professional agreement ensures you remain in control of your platform's ecosystem. Order now
Field of law:
Business (corporate)

FAQ
Why can't I just use a generic Terms of Service for my API?
An API has unique legal considerations, such as the scope of the software license, data handling by third parties, and specific technical restrictions. A generic ToS won't adequately cover these points, leaving you exposed.
My API is free. Do I still need terms?
Absolutely. Even for a free API, you need to control how it's used, protect your intellectual property, limit your liability for any service downtime or bugs, and prevent abuse that could crash your servers.
What is the key difference between your packages?
The Basic package covers the essential legal protections. The Standard is customised to your API's specific functions (e.g., if it handles sensitive data or has a payment model). The Premium package offers a complete legal framework, including privacy aspects.
How do these terms relate to my main website's Privacy Policy?
Your API Terms of Use should work in conjunction with your main Privacy Policy. The Premium package explicitly includes a review to ensure these two documents are harmonised, especially regarding data processing.
What information do you need from me?
I'll need a description of what your API does, who the target developers are, whether it's free or paid, and if it handles any personal or sensitive user data.
