API Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to our Pivity Application Programming Interface ("API") Policy! Since 2014 we’ve been providing our users with a place to sell and buy products, do and post jobs and meet other members of the Garry’s Mod community. Since 2024 we have expanded to the video game, Rust.

We’re the people behind the Pivity marketplaces, Everyday. You can find us at Everyday AS (914840368), Bragernes Torg 8, 3017 Drammen, Norway. By using pronouns like ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’ or directly using ‘Everyday’ in these terms we refer to Everyday AS. When we say ‘Pivity’ we refer to our marketplace and the marketplace application. This includes all of our marketplace sub-brands, including, but not limited to: GmodStore and RustStore.

This agreement explains what rules apply when using our API (“terms”). Make sure to carefully read these terms, together with the Pivity Marketplace Terms and our Privacy Policy. By using the API you are making a legal commitment to us to follow them. Any use of the API that does not comply is unauthorized.

2. Our Content

The API itself belongs to us. The user-generated material, like products, usernames, email addresses, product descriptions, avatars and related assets or information ("information") generally belongs to our users.

3. Use of the Pivity brand or sub-brands

You can use the word "Pivity" in the product description, or in a descriptive subtitle to tell users what it does, e.g. "ProductManager - The Pivity Product App".

You can't however include the word "Pivity" in the application name itself, unless Pivity is preceded by the word "for", this means "Product App for Pivity" is fine, but "Pivity Product App" is not. Please don't suggest we made your application or that it's official in any way.

4. Your rights and obligations

Subject to your compliance with these terms, Everyday grants you a limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, non-exclusive licence to use the API solely as necessary to create and run your applications ("licence").

5. What you’re required to do

You have to have a valid, active Pivity account if you want to use the API. As long as you use the API, or any content or information accessed through it, you need to have an account.

Always act in good faith in your use of the API, the content, and the information.

6. What you can’t do

Don't use the API, the content, or the information in any manner or for any purpose that violates any law or regulation, or the rights of any person, including but not limited to intellectual property rights, rights of privacy, or rights to personality.

Don’t attempt to circumvent any security measures in relation to the API or the sites and don’t use the API in a manner that disrupts or otherwise negatively affects other people’s ability to use the sites or their member accounts.

Don't cache or store any information or content other than for reasonable periods and in order to develop and provide your application. Don’t display product information and/or related images which are more than a day older than they are on the sites. This could be misleading to users.

Don't make any modifications or amendments to our content. Don't use our content in any way that could be construed as misleading or deceptive, or as an attempt to pass yourself off as us. This includes the use of our content in any third party service or application that could be directly harmful to us.

Don't use the API for a commercial purpose, except in compliance with our rules about commercial use, below.

7. Commercial use

You may charge people a fee to use your application, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind:

1. Make sure that you are complying with the terms of any third-party licence that might apply to other material (like code or assets) you used to create the application, and check to see that you are allowed to sell a product using that material. You may need to pass along any rights.

8. Privacy

Some of the information that can be accessed through use of the API is publicly available information, which you can generally get through using the API without any form of authorization token. Most of the information can only be accessed through the use of your own application key. In both cases, we expect you to handle that information with care and only in compliance with these terms, and with the standards set-out in our Privacy Policy.

If you require access to another member's application key, you may have access to personal information about that member. Don't try to access, use, or disclose that information for any purpose other than one your application requires, and for which you have the member's permission. Make sure that your application is secure and doesn't provide anyone with the ability to access information that they shouldn't.

Don't ask members for their passwords, names, or any personal information through correspondence or in your application. If you do collect that sort of information, you have to comply with all relevant laws about privacy and data handling, and any other applicable law, and you are solely responsible for the consequences.

9. Right to change, suspend, or terminate

We might make changes to the API or the sites, or to our content, or how our content or the information is displayed or described, at any time. Those changes might interfere with the operation of your application but, unfortunately, that's a risk you agree to accept if you use the API. We aren't liable for any related loss, cost, or damage. See our liability and indemnity section below.

Although we can change any of our terms, or the terms of our licence, at any time, we will take reasonable steps to let you know when we do so.

We can suspend or terminate your membership at any time for any breach of these terms or if we think your application adversely affects our reputation or the sites in any way. You can terminate your membership at any time. Suspension or termination of your membership for any reason will mean you can’t use the API or any content or information gained through the API any more, but the rest of the terms will still apply. You must immediately disable your application.

10. Your indemnity to us

11. API availability

We strive to have the API available to you 24 hours a day, seven days a week but given how the internet works you may occasionally not be able to access the Pivity API, and this might happen for any reason, at any time, with or without notice, or at our absolute discretion. We might also change aspects of how the API works. We will not be liable to you for any loss you suffer as a result of these things.
