The Monitor+ API (“the API”) is protected by copyright laws and is provided to our registered customers (and the terms “customer”, “user”, “subscriber” “registered users”, “partners” and “affiliates” shall be construed accordingly). The use of this resource is subject to our “Fair Use Policy” which is set out below.

Use of the API constitutes your agreement to this policy. You understand and agree that at our sole discretion, and without prior notice, we may block access to our site if we believe that your use of our site has violated or is inconsistent with this Fair Use Policy.

We may at any time, and at our sole discretion, modify this Fair Use Policy, with or without prior notice. Any such modification will be effective immediately upon public posting. Your continued use of our APIs and this site following such modification constitutes your acceptance of the modified terms in this Fair Use Policy.

The API is provided to allow access to market data carried on the Monitor+ market data service to our registered users or who have been granted a temporary trial access of the service. The metadata and price data contained on the API service is copyrighted and, on termination of your subscription or agreement with us, your license to use the data for any new or to update existing products or services ceases.   This includes data stored in internal electronically for offline use.    Publications produced prior to contract termination are exempt from this condition but no new publications and no reprints or distibutions of existing publications may be made.

The API usage must be proportionate to the company size of the registered customer (as registered on our web site when subscribing to our service). In order to maintain optimal performance of our API and ensure that all registered customers have a good experience we have stated API limits bases on your registered company size. These Fair Use limits are defined as 1000 Historical data API calls per 24 hour period for a single user account, 3000 for a small company and 5000 for a medium size company. Larger companies have custom API call limits and these are agreed on a case-by-case basis. These company sizes are defined on our web site and selected by the customer to match their business size and needs.

If we find registered customers are exceeding these limits and so impacting the service for others customers, we shall endeavour to find a mutually agreeable solution but the terms of this policy will apply in the event that such a solution cannot be found.

You will not attempt, nor encourage others to:

• interfere with, disrupt, or disable any API features;
• use the API for other purposes that defined on this agreement and our terms and conditions without a written agreement with Sarus Systems Limited;
• sell, rent, lease, sub-license, redistribute, or syndicate the API or any data available on the API to any third party without prior written approval from Sarus Systems Limited;
• publish for external use more than 10 prices in any printed (paper or electronic) report or external web page without prior written approval from Sarus Systems Limited.

If you need to display more data on a report or web page that specified in the above restrictions, please contact Sarus Systems Limited for permission.

Note that some databases have vendor restrictions attached.  These restrictions must be followed as specified. Please check the licensing terms for each database before use as extra charges and/or restrictions may apply.
