API License and Development Agreement

UPDATED November 24, 2023

This API License and Development Agreement (this “Agreement”) is a legal agreement between Design Barn Inc. (IconScout), on the one hand, and you, on the other hand (In this Agreement, “You” and “Your” refer collectively to you and your organization).

IconScout is a design resources marketplace with high-quality design assets, including icons, illustrations, 3ds, and lottie animations. You will use our design assets library and integrate it using our given API services with your application to add design assets in your described service at your provided website link (the “Integrated Application”).

This Agreement addresses the following proprietary materials of IconScout:

  1. Development tools for integrating your product or service with IconScout, such as applications, sample code, libraries, data, files and any updates to the foregoing that IconScout makes available to You on its developer website or otherwise (collectively, the “Developer Materials”);
  1. IconScout’s design asset library, as available on IconScout, and updated from time to time on its sole discretion (the “Design Asset Library”);
  1. IconScout’s web services-based applications programming interface to the IconScout, as further described on the developer website and as modified by IconScout from time to time in its sole discretion (the “IconScout API”); and
  1. One or more IconScout Service accounts for integration, development, and trial purposes only, and not for Your internal productive purposes (Your “Test Accounts”)

1. Licence: For the duration and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, IconScout grants to You a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Developer Materials, Design Asset Library, the IconScout API and the Test Accounts solely for the purpose of designing Integrated Application to integrate with or share data between or otherwise communicate with the IconScout Service through the IconScout API. Also, all the resources you access with IconScout API are subjected to the license attached at the end of this Agreement in Appendix A.

2. Restrictions: You may not:

  1. use the Developer Materials, Design Asset Library, IconScout API, or Test Accounts to design or develop anything other than an Integrated Application;
  1. make any copy of the Design Asset Library than are reasonably necessary for the authorized use and backup and archival purposes;
  1. modify, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, reverse compile, or dissemble the Developer Materials, the IconScout API or the IconScout Service;
  1. remove any trademarks, logos, copyright notices or labels displayed on the Developer Materials, Design Asset Library, the IconScout API or IconScout Service or any copies made by You, or
  1. distribute, sell, lease, rent, lend, sublicense, or provide any access to any part of the Developer Materials, Design Asset Library, IconScout API or Test Account to any third party except as included within and necessary to distribute an Integrated Application. You have no authority to distribute the IconScout Service or make it available to customers, unless granted in a separate agreement between You and IconScout. Accordingly, in order to use an Integrated Application with the IconScout Service, a customer must set up an IconScout service account, agree to IconScout’s standard Terms of Service, and pay IconScout’s applicable fees, unless otherwise provided in a separate agreement between you and IconScout.

3. Key: IconScout will assign You a unique identifier for Integrated Application (the “Key”). You will need to pass this unique Key along with the provided Secret with all the requests you make with IconScout API. You acknowledge and agree that this Key is the property of IconScout, and that the misuse of this Application Key by You or a third party could cause substantial loss and damage to IconScout and its sellers. Accordingly, You will implement appropriate measures to protect the security of the Key and not provide the Key to any third party, and You will notify IconScout promptly if You suspect it has been misappropriated or misused or lost or stolen or otherwise accessible to a third party without rights to use it.

4. Approval: You will obtain written approval from an authorized officer of IconScout, which may be in the form of email. IconScout will review the Integrated Application for merchantable quality and compliance with this Agreement at any time during the term. IconScout will not be responsible for any costs, expenses, damages, losses (including without limitation lost business opportunities or lost profits) or other liabilities You may incur as a result of Your development of the Integrated Application regardless of whether IconScout approves it. You will be solely responsible for assuring that the Integrated Application conforms to Your use case of the Integrated Application disclosed to IconScout and specifications and documentation you provide to your users, is free of defects in design and operation, and complies with applicable laws and regulations. You will also be solely responsible for end user customer support and warranty of Your Integrated Application. In the event that You materially modify or update the Integrated Application, You will notify IconScout and IconScout will have the option to review it, and to approve it or not, in IconScout’s sole discretion.

For clarity, if support fees are posted after you have received support, fees shall only apply prospectively, and not retroactively. Either party may at any time discontinue support with notice to the other party.
