Cloudscene Global API Terms

Last updated: 11 March 2021

These terms and conditions (the “API Terms”) describe and govern the rights and obligations of Cloudscene Pty Ltd (“Cloudscene”, “we”, “us” or “our”) and the company or legal entity represented by you (“you” or “your”) regarding your sharing of data with us and the associated application programming interface (“API”) between Cloudscene and you (together “the parties”). These API Terms are in place to enable our partners to integrate their data and information with Cloudscene’s online platforms through each party’s API. 


Any party or entity who gives Cloudscene access to its data through its API is deemed to agree to be bound by these API Terms, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Cloudscene. An authorised representative may also accept to be bound by these API Terms on your behalf. If an individual is confirming acceptance of these API Terms as an authorised representative of a company or legal entity they represent, that authorised representative represents and warrants to us they have been duly authorised to accept these API Terms on behalf of that company or legal entity.

Please read these terms carefully, as they constitute a binding legal agreement between Cloudscene and you. In addition to these terms, your sharing of data with us and the interface between the parties’ APIs is subject to our Privacy Policy, any separate written contracts which the parties agree to from time to time and Cloudscene’s other policies and terms of use. If there is any inconsistency between these API Terms and any other contracts or policies which apply between the parties, then those other contracts or policies will take priority to the extent of the inconsistency.

Cloudscene may make changes to these API Terms from time to time. By continuing to share your data with us through the API, you will be deemed to have agreed to these API Terms as updated on this website, provided that we agree to give notice to you of any material change to the API Terms prior to any deemed acceptance.

Capitalised words not otherwise defined in these API Terms are defined at the end of this document.
