Introduction:

Thank you for your interest in the QUIVIDI APIs. The QUIVIDI APIs are a collection of QUIVIDI APIs that allow you:

  • access the demographic profile, behavior, mood, position, attentive state of members of the audience in a scene analyzed by a QUIVIDI software (the “VIDIREPORTS APIs”);
  • access raw or aggregated audience and traffic data, as well as information on content, locations, sites and networks where a QUIVIDI software is running, from a QUIVIDI data repository (the “VIDICENTER APIs”);

all of which are collectively called the “QUIVIDI APIs”.

1. Your relationship with QUIVIDI

  • Use of the QUIVIDI APIs is Subject to these TermsYour use of any of the QUIVIDI APIs is subject to the terms of a legal agreement between you and QUIVIDI SAS, a company incorporated under the laws of France with its Headquarters: 74, rue du Rocher – Paris (75008), France (“QUIVIDI“). This legal agreement is referred to as the “Terms”.
  • Precedence of QUIVIDI APIs Terms. If there is any contradiction between the QUIVIDI APIs Terms and another QUIVIDI APIs-related documents (the “QUIVIDI APIs Documentation”), then the QUIVIDI APIs Terms will take precedence.
  • Changes to the Terms. QUIVIDI reserves the right, from time to time, with or without notice, to make changes to the Terms in QUIVIDI sole and absolute discretion. When these changes are made, QUIVIDI will make a new copy of the Terms available at www.quividi.com/terms-of-use/ or such successor URLs that QUIVIDI may designate from time to time. You understand and agree that if you use the QUIVIDI APIs after the date on which the Terms have changed, QUIVIDI will treat your use as acceptance of the updated Terms. If a modification is unacceptable to you, you may terminate this agreement by ceasing use of the QUIVIDI APIs.

2. Accepting the Terms

For further information, see Section 9.1.1(g) below.

3.2 Changes to the QUIVIDI APIs; Termination of the QUIVIDI APIs.

(a) If QUIVIDI in its discretion chooses to cease providing the current version of the QUIVIDI APIs whether through discontinuation of the QUIVIDI APIs or by upgrading the QUIVIDI APIs to a newer version, the current version of the QUIVIDI APIs will be deprecated and become the Deprecated Version of the QUIVIDI APIs. QUIVIDI will issue an announcement if the current version of the QUIVIDI APIs will be deprecated. For a period of 3 months after an announcement (the “Deprecation Period”), QUIVIDI will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to operate the Deprecated Version of the QUIVIDI APIs and to respond to problems with the Deprecated Version of the QUIVIDI APIs deemed by QUIVIDI in its discretion to be critical. During the Deprecation Period, no new features will be added to the Deprecated Version of the QUIVIDI APIs.

(b) QUIVIDI reserves the right in its discretion to cease providing all or any part of the Deprecated Version of the QUIVIDI APIs immediately without any notice if:

  • Section 11.3(a) (Termination for Breach of Terms) applies; or
  • QUIVIDI is required to do so by law (for example, due to a change to the law governing the provision of the Deprecated Version of the QUIVIDI APIs); or
  • the Deprecated Version of the QUIVIDI APIs relies on data or APIs provided by a third party partner and the relationship with such partner has expired or been terminated or requires QUIVIDI to change the way QUIVIDI provides the data or QUIVIDI APIs through the Deprecated Version of the QUIVIDI APIs; or
  • providing the Deprecated Version of the QUIVIDI APIs could create a substantial economic burden as determined by QUIVIDI in its reasonable good faith judgment; or
  • providing the Deprecated Version of the QUIVIDI APIs could create a security risk or material technical burden as determined by QUIVIDI in its reasonable good faith judgment.

(c) QUIVIDI is constantly innovating in order to provide the best possible experience for its users. At any time prior to discontinuing the current version of the QUIVIDI APIs or upgrading to a new version of the QUIVIDI APIs, QUIVIDI may, in its discretion as part of this continuing innovation, label certain features or functionality of the QUIVIDI APIs as “experimental.” This Section 3.2 of the Terms will not apply to any features or functionality labeled as “experimental”.
