(a)   access to or use of the Services or Provider Materials in combination with any hardware, system, software, network, or other materials or service not provided or authorized in writing by Provider;

10.2   Customer Indemnification. Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Provider and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (each, a “Provider Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Provider Indemnitee in connection with any Action by a third party (other than an Affiliate of a Provider Indemnitee) alleging that the Customer Data, or any Processing of Customer Data by or on behalf of Provider in accordance with the Agreement, infringes, misappropriates, or constitutes the unauthorized use of a third party’s U.S. Intellectual Property Rights or personal information.

10.3   Indemnification Procedure.

The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing.

(a)   obtain the right for Customer to continue to use the Services and Provider Materials materially as contemplated by the Agreement;

(b)   modify or replace the Services and Provider Materials, in whole or in part, to seek to make the Services and Provider Materials (as so modified or replaced) non-infringing, while providing materially equivalent features and functionality, in which case such modifications or replacements will constitute Services and Provider Materials, as applicable, under the Agreement; or

(c)    If neither (a) nor (b) are commercially reasonable, terminate the Agreement with respect to all or part of the Services and Provider Materials, require Customer to immediately cease any use of the Services and Provider Materials or any specified part or feature thereof, and Provider shall provide a refund to Customer of any pre-paid Fees for Services that Provider has not performed as of the effective date of termination.

THIS SECTION 10 SETS FORTH CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDIES AND PROVIDER’S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THE AGREEMENT OR ANY SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF (INCLUDING THE SERVICES AND PROVIDER MATERIALS) INFRINGES, MISAPPROPRIATES, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATES ANY THIRD-PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT.

API Rate Limits Overview

24/7 Software API usage is subject to rate limiting. These limits mitigate denial-of-service attacks and abusive actions such as rapidly updating configurations, aggressive polling and concurrency, or excessive API calls.

The service protection limits are high enough that it should be rare for an individual using an API to encounter them during normal usage. However, it is possible if the client application allows for bulk operations. Client application developers should be aware of how service protection API limits are enforced and design the UI to reduce the potential for users to send extremely demanding requests to the server. But they should still expect that service protection API limit errors can occur and be prepared to handle them.

If this limit is exceeded or if CPU or total time limits are exceeded, the app or user may be throttled. API requests made by a throttled user or app will fail or be denied.

Application Rate Limit Categories and Cumulative Rate Limits
Provider enforces limits at the individual API endpoint level as requests per minute or request per second depending on the usage and type of the API.

If an org-wide rate limit is exceeded, an HTTP 429 status code is returned.

Total CPU Time
The amount of CPU time the request takes to process. When total CPU time reaches category limit above, calls may be throttled or denied.

Total Time
The length of time the request takes to process. When total time reaches category limit above, calls may be throttled or denied.

Retry Operations
When a service protection API limit error occurs, the API will provide an error indicating the duration before any new requests from the user can be processed. Generally, this is either per minute or per second.

Exceeding Quota Limits
If the quota of requesting a 24/7 Software API is exceeded, the API returns an error code 403 or 429 and a message that the account has exceeded the quota.

Requesting Additional Quota
Customer can only request to increase the quota of the API by providing a justified use case and evidence of optimized code. Please note that the approval of increased quota will be the decision of the Provider engineering team upon review of the documentation.
