# API Terms

Using this API — as a club or as an integrator a club has given credentials to — is governed by the
**Sail Club API Terms**, a legal document (not part of this technical reference):

**[Read the API Terms →](/api-terms.html)**

Highlights (the linked document is authoritative):

- Use the data only for the club that issued your credentials, for that club's own events.
- No resale or bulk harvesting of the data.
- Attribute results you display ("Results by Sail Club", linked) where practical.
- Keep credentials secret and report a suspected leak so the club admin can rotate them.
- Honour the same personal-data duties as the club itself — display only, no profiling or marketing use.
- We may rate-limit, suspend or revoke access for misuse — see [Rate limits](/docs/rate-limits) for the
  automatic limits, independent of this.

A club admin accepts these terms once, in the panel, the first time they create an API client — see
[Quickstart](/docs/quickstart).
