3. OUR API AND HOW WE WORK WITH DEVELOPERS

Our application programming interface (API) can be accessed at https://developers.wargaming.net and other websites operated by Wargaming, and includes any documents (electronic or otherwise) that come with the API. Our API is intended to be used as an interface between: (a) Our website, comprising Our relevant products or services, including developer services, mobile services and any other features, content, or applications offered or operated from time to time whether accessed via the Internet, mobile device or other electronic device (Platform); and (b) the applications or services provided by You through Your website or platform (Application).

As part of use of the API, You may access or otherwise use on Our Platform certain content, software, images, photographs, illustrations, icons, texts, video, audio, written materials or other content, materials or data (API Data).

4. API RULES

The main things that We care about are that Our system is protected and so are the rights of Our end-users.

These API Terms of Use set out Our and Your respective rights and obligations relating to use of Our APIs to interface between Our Platform and Your Application and use of the API Data.

Your use of any of Our other products or services on Our Platform will be on different terms and conditions. If, and only so far as, these API Terms of Use and the terms and conditions applicable to Our other products or services are inconsistent, the terms and conditions applicable to Our other products or services shall apply (and these API Terms of Use shall not).

If these API Terms of Use do not specifically say that You can do something in connection with the API, the API Data or the Platform, then You cannot.

5. ACCESS TO THE API

You agree:

to access the API only using the API key (application_id) that We give You;
to keep Your API and token key (application_id and acess_token) secure and that You are responsible for any use of the API using Your key or token;
that end-users shall not be prompted to provide any passwords, usernames or other login details that they use to access the Platform directly to You;
Applications must bring additional value for the end-users and must not replicate any existing functionality of Wargaming products or services.

6. HOW YOU MAY USE THE API

You must:

obtain end-user consent to allow the Application to access the Platform through the API;
ensure that Your use of the API complies with:
- these API Terms of Use and other rules of Wargaming; and
- all relevant legislation, regulations, codes of practice, guidance and other requirements of any relevant government, regulatory agency or other body.

7. WHAT THE API MUST NOT BE USED FOR

You must not use the API to send spam or to interfere with or degrade Our services in any way.

You must also not use the API for any unlawful purpose or activity whatsoever, including fraud or terrorism, or to promote any unlawful act, or in any way which:

makes any private information on the Platform publicly available on the Application;
causes or is intended to cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety;
is abusive, harmful, threatening or defamatory or may otherwise cause offence (including uploading any material that contains a virus or other malicious code);
does or could potentially breach a legal duty to anyone else (including a duty of confidentiality) or infringe a person's right to privacy;
promotes discrimination or is likely to incite hatred;
may infringe the intellectual property rights (e.g. copyright, trade marks, patents, database rights, know-how and design rights) of anyone else (including Ours);

You must also not:

distribute, license, sell, rent, lease or otherwise deal in or encumber the API;
modify, add to, or otherwise enhance the API;

8. API LICENSEE’S RIGHTS TO USE THE API

We grant You a non-exclusive, revocable and non-transferable licence, without a right to sublicense, to use the API for developing publicly available Applications and subject to the restrictions on use in these API Terms of Use. This means that:

We can grant licences to anyone else (and retain rights to do things with the API Ourselves);
You are not permitted to transfer Your rights to anyone else or to allow anyone else to use the API, the API Data or the Platform.

The API licensed under these API Terms of Use shall include any error corrections, patches, fixes, updates, upgrades, new releases or new versions subsequently received (if any) of the API.

If You breach these API Terms of Use, Your rights to use the API and the API Data will automatically terminate, and We can shut down or restrict Your access to the API and/or Your API integration. Otherwise, this licence will continue until We terminate Your use in accordance with these API Terms of Use or You stop using the API, the API Data and the Platform. We may specifically suspend or terminate your use of all or any of the API, API Data and the Platform at any time for any reason. We may discontinue the availability of some or all of the API at any time for any reason. We may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to some or all of the API. All of Our rights in these Terms may be exercised without prior notice or liability to You.

Some of your obligations, such as those relating to privacy, data protection and confidentiality, will continue even after the licence has ended.

9. API LICENSEE’S RIGHTS TO USE THE API DATA AND OTHER CONTENT

You accept that the API Data may contain third party intellectual property rights and You shall ensure that Your use of such API Data does not infringe those rights. However, if this does happen, Your permission to use API Data will automatically terminate and any copies made of API Data must be immediately destroyed.

10. DATA PROTECTION, PRIVACY AND SECURITY

You must implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the API Data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, alteration or disclosure.

WARGAMING API POLICY

In addition to the Wargaming API Terms of Use, You must also comply with the following rules:

1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

API cannot be utilized for creating any Applications or other products that in the sole opinion of Wargaming, negatively affects Us, Our games or business, or has adverse Impact on Our players.

If user authorization is required, the Application must have a “Log out/Exit” function.
Do not make any advertising in modifications of the game client in either text, graphic or audio form, unless expressly permitted by Wargaming.
Applications, which in the sole opinion of Wargaming are detrimental to Our reputation, are not allowed.

Do not hide or remove the copyright notice or watermarks placed in Wargaming content or otherwise disregard Our intellectual property.
Application must contain a vivid link to the official website of the respective game and also include information that clearly identifies Wargaming as the source of data. However, You must not make any reference implying Your affiliation to Wargaming or endorsement by Us of Your Application.

Transparent textures on game objects penetrated by game armament.
Replacement of game models with collision models.
Explicit highlighting of game objects that may seem dangerous as non-hazardous (e.g., white textures on destroyed tanks).
Any changes to auto-aim (e.g. leading targets, automatic targeting of vulnerable areas).
Fixing for the player the position of the other players that are not visible by the rules of the game visibility (locking the position of the player that disappeared from sight on map by tracer flares, display of the name of an enemy player that inflicted a non-critical hit remaining out of sight, etc.).
Fixing the destruction of destructible objects on the minimap.
Camera which is not attached to the position of a player, a “free” camera, able to move in three dimensions, and the use of artillery mode for other types of vehicles.
Using keyboard macros in game situations (e.g., automation of work of “manual fire extinguisher”, except for an automatic shot from a reloaded weapon).
Indication of an aiming point of other players which is different from its visual representation based on the position of a standard, unmodified 3D vehicle model operated by the player.
Full or partial automation sending a vehicle to battle, its operating and firing (use of bots).
