Evernote API License Agreement
Effective Date: June 13, 2011
Thank you for your interest in Evernote and our API! We invite you to download and use the API, including the associated documentation which is also provided (collectively, the "API"), but please note that our invitation is subject to your review and agreement with this License Agreement and certain other terms and conditions. You need not agree to enter into this License Agreement, but if you reject this Agreement you do not have any right to use the API. If you do use our API, you will be deemed to have accepted the terms of this License Agreement at that time and be a party to a legally binding contract with Evernote Corporation ("Evernote," "we" and sometimes "us").
Please note that, in addition to the terms of this License Agreement, you may also be required to become a party to other contract terms elsewhere on the Evernote web sites, including (i) the Evernote Terms of Service in order to use the Evernote Service (sometimes referred to as the "Service"), (2) the Evernote Privacy Policy, (iii) the Evernote Branding and Trademark Usage Guidelines in order to use any Evernote trademarks or service marks (the "Trademark Guidelines") and (iv) certain other agreements that may be presented to you with respect to other elements of the Service or related opportunities, including those where you may click "accept" or "agree" to become a party thereto (each of which are a "Separate Agreement"). If there is any conflict between the terms of a Separate Agreement and this License Agreement, then this Agreement shall control with respect to your use of the API and the terms of the Separate Agreement shall take precedence with respect to the subject matter of such Separate Agreement.
You may wish to save a copy of this License Agreement for your records. In any event, be sure to regularly check this License Agreement for any updates or other changes, which shall be legally binding upon you when we post them (superseding any prior rights and obligations that may apply with respect to the API), whether or not we provide you any other notice of such changes. The currently applicable License Agreement will be posted at dev.yinxiang.com/documentation/reference/api_license.php, and we will indicate the date of each update at the end of the License Agreement. Your continued use of the API after any update will be deemed to confirm your consent to be bound by, and agreement with, the terms of the new License Agreement. If you disagree with the terms of any new License Agreement, you will need to cease use of the API; in such event we would welcome your comments on the terms you found unacceptable.
1. Description, Licenses, and Restrictions
1.1 Evernote API. The Evernote API consists of programmatic web APIs, interface definitions, generated code libraries and associated tools and documentation that allow you to create software application(s) or website(s) (your "Application"), which will create, read, update or delete certain content from Evernote user accounts, including notes, embedded resources, tags, notebooks and saved searches (the "Content").
1.2 Developer API Keys. In order to access the API, you must register for a unique API key from Evernote. You will be issued one or more unique security keys, tokens, passwords and/or other credentials (collectively, "Keys"), for accessing the API and managing your account. You may only access the API with the Keys issued to you by Evernote. Access may not always be available. You may not sell, transfer, sublicense or otherwise disclose your Keys to any other party or use them with any other Application other than that for which you initially applied for it. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy and security of your Keys. You are fully responsible for all activities that occur using your Keys, regardless of whether such activities are undertaken by you or a third party. You are responsible for maintaining up-to-date and accurate information (including a current email address and other required contact information) for your account. Evernote may discontinue your access to the API if such contact information is not up-to-date and/or you do not respond to communications directed to such coordinates.
1.3 API Modifications. Evernote reserves the right to modify the Service and the API, and to release subsequent versions of the API. You may be required to obtain and use the most recent version of the API in order to obtain functionality of your Application with the Service. The API is currently provided for free, but Evernote reserves the right to charge for the API (or additional features or functionality therefor) in the future.
1.4 Prohibited Uses. The Evernote API is made available without charge to developers in order to permit developers to create Applications that enhance the web experience of consumers in general, and Evernote users in particular. Without limiting other restrictions in this Agreement, you agree that: (i) the API may not be used to create Applications that offer or promote services that may be damaging to, disparaging of or otherwise detrimental to Evernote or its licensors, licensees, affiliates and partners; and (ii) the API may not be used for or to create Applications that transfer, display or use Content from Evernote without the Application creating an additional or distinct benefit for Evernote's end users' use of the Service.
1.5 Monitoring Use of the Evernote API. You agree to provide us with access to your Application and/or other materials related to your use of the API as reasonably requested by us to verify your compliance with this Agreement. You agree that we may crawl or otherwise monitor online Applications and you agree not to block or interfere with such efforts by Evernote.
1.6 Usage Limitations. Evernote may limit the number of network calls that your Application may make via the API, and/or the maximum file size, and/or the maximum Content that may be accessed, or anything else about the API and the Content it accesses as Evernote deems appropriate, in its sole discretion; these limitations may on occasion be without notice. In addition, Evernote may post usage limitations at the Developers area of its web site, and change such usage limits at any time. In addition to its other rights under this Agreement, Evernote may utilize technical measures to prevent over-usage and/or stop usage of the API by an Application after any usage limitations are exceeded.
1.7 Your Display of Content; Attribution and Goodwill You must clearly and conspicuously attribute the source of all Content as received from the Evernote Service. Without limiting the foregoing, if your Application or the use of the Service requests a user to input an Evernote username and password, your Application must clearly identify the Service (as more specifically provided in the Trademark Guidelines). You may not modify, obscure, delete or otherwise disable the functioning of links to the Service or Evernote or third-party applications or websites, or change the resource associated with any link provided within any Content. Similarly, you may not modify, obscure or delete the text, images, artwork, logos, copyrights or similar proprietary notices or other aspects of any Content that you receive from the API, except that, with respect to graphic images, you may re-size such images while maintaining the same relative proportions of such image. If you display the Content in a way that Evernote or, where applicable, a third-party provider of such Content to Evernote, finds unacceptable for any reason, including if your display violates this Agreement or it disparages, damages, tarnishes or impairs the value, integrity or goodwill of the Content or its subjects or brands therein, Evernote may require that you immediately change or cease your display of such Content. All Content transmitted by Evernote in connection with your Application remains the property of the proper owners or licensors thereof. You acknowledge and agree that Evernote has no obligation to, and does not, monitor the Content created by users of the Service.
1.8 Appropriate Conduct and Usage Restrictions. You agree that you are responsible for your own conduct while using the API and for any consequences thereof. You agree to use the API only for purposes that are legal, proper and in accordance with this Agreement, any Separate Agreement and any applicable policies or guidelines provided by Evernote from time to time. In addition to the other restrictions contained in this Agreement, in particular those concerning appropriate use contained in Section 1.4 and the Evernote Brands in Section 3.5, you agree that when using the API you will not, directly or indirectly, take or enable another to take any of the following actions:
1.8.1 interfere with or disrupt services or servers or networks connected to the Service, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of networks connected to the Service;
1.8.2 restrict or inhibit any user from using and enjoying the Service;
1.8.3 use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose;
1.8.4 circumvent or modify any Keys or other security mechanism employed by Evernote or the API;

1.8.8 create user accounts by automated means or under false or fraudulent pretenses;
1.8.9 transmit any viruses, worms, defects, Trojan horses or any items of a destructive nature; or
1.8.10 utilize the optical character recognition results or data obtained by submitting Content with images or PDF files to the Service for any independent purpose besides locating such Content among the notes within an Evernote account.
1.9 Support. Evernote has no obligation to provide you or your users with support, software upgrades, enhancements or modifications to the API ("Support"). You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for providing user support and any other technical assistance for your Application. Evernote may redirect users and potential users of your Application to your email address on your account for purposes of answering general Application inquiries and support questions. If Evernote elects at any time to provide Support, it shall be considered part of the Service for purposes of Section 7, and Evernote may terminate the Support at any time without notice to you for any or no reason.
2. Directory
2.1 Establishment. Evernote may establish a directory of developers using the API and/or the Applications resulting from developer use of the API (a "Directory"). Whether or not you or your Application is included in such a Directory would be within Evernote's sole discretion.
2.2 Submission Requirements. Evernote may establish a submission process with certain requirements in order to be included within such Directory, including additional information about and possibly an evaluation version of your Application (which would be provided to Evernote free of any fees or subscriptions usually associated with the Application).
2.3 Trademark License. You hereby grant Evernote a non-exclusive license to display the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, copyright notices, domain names and other distinctive brands associated with you and your Application (the "Licensee Brands") in accordance with this Agreement for the sole purposes of identifying your Application in the Directory and promoting or advertising your use of the API.

You understand and agree that Evernote may access, preserve and disclose your contact information and your Application details if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process or protect the rights, property and/or safety of Evernote, its affiliates or partners, the Evernote Service users or the general public.
4.2 Your Privacy Policy. For information you obtain from users of your Application, you will, at all times, maintain a high standard privacy policy reasonably consistent with Evernote's Privacy Policy. You must clearly post a link to your privacy policy at the point such information is collected. You agree to comply with your privacy policy in the collection, use and storage of such information.

For example, you may factually state that your Application is "used with the Service" (during the term of this Agreement), provided that your use of any Evernote Brands is in compliance with the Trademark Guidelines. In addition, you must submit to us a copy or image of any media release or advertising you create including any Evernote Brands, and we request that you provided us a copy of any other media release concerning your Application; these should be submitted using our Contact form.
