Under the Terms, “Anywhere” means Anywhere Real Estate Services Group LLC (formerly known as Realogy Services Group LLC) and its applicable affiliates. Anywhere has offices at 175 Park Avenue, Madison, NJ 07940, United States. We may refer to “Anywhere” as “we”, “our”, or “us” in the Terms.
Section 1: Account and Registration

You may not use the APIs or API Data, and may not accept the Terms if (a) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Anywhere, or (b) you are a person barred from using or receiving the APIs or API Data under the applicable laws of the United States or other countries including the country in which you reside or from which you use the APIs.
Entity Level Acceptance
If you are using the APIs or API Data on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to the Terms and by accepting the Terms, you are doing so on behalf of that entity (and all references to "you" in the Terms refer to that entity).
Registration

Section 2: Using Our APIs
Your End Users
You are not permitted to allow any third party to access or use our APIs or API Data, provided, that you may exercise the rights granted to you in the Terms through your personnel and contractors (collectively, “End Users”). You will ensure your End Users comply with the Terms. You are fully responsible and liable for all acts or omissions of End Users, including acts or omissions that would constitute a breach of the Terms if such acts or omissions were undertaken by you.
Compliance with Law, Third Party Rights, and Other Anywhere Terms of Service
You will comply with all applicable law, regulation, and third party rights (including without limitation laws regarding the import or export of data or software, privacy, and local laws). You will not use the APIs for unlawful or illegal purposes, to encourage or promote illegal activity, or violation of third party rights. You will not violate any other terms of service or agreements with Anywhere (or its affiliates).
License Grant
As between you and Anywhere, APIs and API Data are the exclusive property of Anywhere and: (i) contain the valuable proprietary information and trade secrets of Anywhere and its licensors, and (ii) are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws of the United States and other countries. Subject to the Terms and your ongoing compliance with the Terms, Anywhere grants to you, while the Terms between you and Anywhere are in effect, a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-assignable, non-sublicensable license to access and use (i) specific APIs approved by Anywhere and (ii) associated API Data for such approved APIs, in each case solely as permitted in the Terms and as identified in the Additional API Terms .
Permitted Access and Use
1. You shall use the APIs only to the extent expressly authorized by Anywhere.
2. You will only access (or attempt to access) an API by the means described in the API documentation of that API.
3. Anywhere will assign you developer credentials (e.g. client IDs) that are associated with specific APIs and specific purposes. You must use developer credentials solely with the applicable APIs initially approved by Anywhere. Any other uses (e.g., different APIs or different purposes) is considered a material breach of the Terms.
4. You will not misrepresent or mask either your identity or your API Client's identity when using the APIs or developer accounts.
5. Separate developer credentials may be issued for (a) internal development and test use of the APIs only by you (“Test Use”), and (b) production use of the APIs by you (“Production Use”). Test Use permits you to use the APIs (including the applicable API Data provided) only by you (and your End Users (defined below)) solely for the purposes of your development, testing and demonstrating to Anywhere your API Client. For the avoidance of doubt, developer credentials for Test Use may only be used for testing and any contrary use is considered a material breach of the Terms.
API Limitations
Anywhere may set and enforce limits on your use of the APIs (e.g. limiting the number of API requests that you may make or the number of users you may serve), in our sole discretion. You agree to, and will not attempt to circumvent, such limitations which may be documented with each API. If you would like to use any API beyond these limits, you must obtain Anywhere's express consent (and Anywhere may decline such request or condition acceptance on your agreement to additional terms and/or charges for that use). To seek such approval, contact the relevant Anywhere API team for information (e.g., by using the API Portal).
Open Source Software
Some of the software included in our APIs may be offered under an open source software license. Open source software licenses constitute separate written agreements. For certain APIs, open source software is listed in the documentation. Your use of any open source software included in our APIs must comply with the applicable open source software license.
Communication with Anywhere
We may send you certain communications in connection with your use of the APIs. Please review the such communications for information about opting out of certain types of communication. Opting out of certain communications may require you to cancel your registration and terminate your use of the APIs.
Feedback
If you provide feedback or suggestions about our APIs, then we (and those we allow) may use such information without obligation to you.
Non-Exclusivity
The Terms are non-exclusive. You acknowledge that Anywhere may develop products or services that may compete with the API Clients or any other products or services.

As between Anywhere and you, you shall bear all responsibility and liability for the disclosure and all other uses of the Customer Personal Information which you receive. With respect to disclosures of the Confidential Information as may be required by law or court order, such disclosures shall be permitted without the consent of the disclosing party provided that the receiving party furnishes the disclosing party prior written notification (as soon as practicably possible after the request for disclosure is made).
Notification and Other Obligations
You acknowledge that Confidential Information is a valuable asset of Anywhere and that the breach of this Section would cause Anywhere irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law. You will notify Anywhere and, if applicable, Customers, within 24 hours of a known or suspected breach of Customer Personal Information. In the event of a known or suspected breach of this Section by you, Anywhere shall be allowed to conduct an audit of the events and, if requested by Anywhere, you will assist in conducting a root cause analysis, and Anywhere may seek injunctive relief and any other equitable remedies in addition to remedies afforded by law. The obligations of the parties pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of the Terms.
Restrictions

Section 9: Liability for our APIs
WARRANTIES
1. Warranties. Each party represents that it has the necessary authority to enter into and perform its rights and obligations under the Terms, and that such performance does not violate or breach any other agreement to which it is a party. Additionally, you represent and warrant that you will fully comply with the Terms, and that your content that you provide to us will be accurate and your use of the APIs do not and will not cause any breach of the Terms.
2. DISCLAIMER. WE PROVIDE THE APIs AND API DATA ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE APIs AND, AND WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APIs WILL BE SECURE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, OR ERROR FREE. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM AND THE AGREEMENT EXCLUDES ANY IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE RISKS INHERENT IN NETWORK CONNECTIVITY THAT COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF YOUR PRIVACY, DATA, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND PROPERTY.

Section 10: General Provisions
Modification
We may modify or replace the Terms or any portion to, for example, reflect changes to the law or changes to our APIs. You should look at the Terms regularly. We'll post notice of modifications to the Terms within the applicable API documentation and/or in the API Portal. Changes will not apply retroactively and will become effective no sooner than 30 days after they are posted. But changes addressing new functions for an API, or changes made to comply with law or security reasons will be effective immediately. If you do not agree to the modified Terms for an API, your use is not permitted under the Terms and you must immediately discontinue your use of the API.
U.S. Federal Agency Entities
The APIs were developed solely at private expense and are commercial computer software and related documentation within the meaning of the applicable U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulation and agency supplements thereto.
General Legal Terms
We each agree to contract in the English language. If we provide a translation of the Terms, we do so for your convenience only and the English Terms will solely govern our relationship. The Terms do not create any third party beneficiary rights or any agency, partnership, or joint venture. Nothing in the Terms will limit either party's ability to seek injunctive relief. We are not liable for failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control. If you do not comply with the Terms, and Anywhere does not take action right away, this does not mean that Anywhere is giving up any rights that it may have (such as taking action in the future). If it turns out that a particular term is not enforceable, this will not affect any other terms. The Terms (and Access Agreement relating to APIs or API Data, if applicable) are the entire agreement between you and Anywhere relating to APIs and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject. For information about how to contact Anywhere, please visit our Contact Us.
The parties are independent contractors, and there is no partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency relationship created by the Agreement. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other party’s behalf without the other party’s prior written consent. You may not assign any of your rights in the Agreement, and any such attempt is void, but we may assign our rights to any of our affiliates, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the APIs. A waiver of any provision of the Agreement must be made in writing to be effective, and our waiver of a breach of any provision or right contained in the Agreement will not constitute a continuing waiver or waive any subsequent breach or right. You agree to comply with all U.S. export control regulations, anti-corruption laws and embargoes (including without limitation the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR, Chapter VII)) with respect to the Services. If any provision of the Agreement is unenforceable, that provision will be modified to render it enforceable to the extent possible to affect the parties’ intention, and the remaining provisions will not be affected.
Except as set forth below: (i) the laws of New Jersey, U.S.A., excluding New Jersey's conflict of laws rules, will apply to any disputes arising out of or related to the Terms or the APIs and (ii) ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TERMS OR THE APIs WILL BE LITIGATED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS LOCATED IN NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, USA, AND YOU AND ANYWHERE CONSENT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THOSE COURTS.
