15.1. This clause
- This clause 15 applies if you Access an API.
- If there is any inconsistency between this clause 15 and the rest of our Terms of Use, then the terms in this clause 15 prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.
15.2. API tiers
- We offer Access to our APIs through a number of different packages, which we call “tiers”. Each tier has different costs, rights, entitlements and limitations, as outlined in this clause 15.2.
- Our tiers are identified using the following names:
- “Free”;
- “Pro”; and
- Enterprise”.
- The table below sets out the costs, rights, entitlements and limitations that apply to each tier, where:
- the tier that applies to you is the tier that you selected as part of the process of Accessing an API, or the tier to which you are automatically upgraded or downgraded as part of the terms of another tier you had selected; and
- “Transaction” means every time an API is asked or used to calculate, compute, determine or convey a single unique item of information for the purpose of allowing you (or users of your applications or services) to make use of the information calculated, computed, determined or conveyed by the API or the Content or Services on which the API is based or which the API forms part of;(by way of example, using an API to make a basic routing call about navigating from point A to point B will equate to one Transaction, whereas using an API to determine one-to-many routes, or all-day routing, will equate to multiple Transactions (with the exact number of multiple Transactions depending on the complexity of the request));
Feature/item | Description | Tier: Free | Tier: Pro | Tier: Enterprise |

Compulsory attribution(see cl 15.3) | Is it compulsory for your tools, services and Content that Access an API to include, prominently, when conveying the information based on Access to the API, the words “Powered by SkedGo/TripGo” (see cl 15.3) | yes, must include attribution (see cl 15.3) | yes, must include attribution (see cl 15.3) | attribution may be required (subject to terms to be included in the separate enterprise level agreement) |
15.3. Attribution
If the table in clause 15.2 indicates that the tier that applies to you requires you to make the compulsory attribution then you must:
- ensure that the words “Powered by SkedGo/TripGo” (or any other alternative words that we notify you of from time to time) are displayed:
- on the same screen as the screen displaying the information that has been derived based on Access to the API; and
- prominently (which means that the words must be displayed in font that is at least the same size as the information, derived based on Access to the relevant API, being communicated to the user),
(and if you send us screenshots that demonstrate the manner in which you display the information required under this clause and we approve of the manner so demonstrated, then you can continue to use that approach for the purposes of this clause until we notify you otherwise);
- allow any information, data or other Content that we deliver (as part of your Accessing the API) that includes the words “Powered by SkedGo/TripGo” or any other alternative words that we notify you of from time to time (together, the “attribution words“) to be displayed on your services, tools and other Content in accordance with the requirements in clause 15.3(a); and
- not remove, restrict or interfere with the “attribution words” referred to in clause 15.3(b).
15.4. Special terms
Further to clause 15.1, the following clauses serve to amend or override the rest of these Terms of Use, but only to the extent that they apply to your Accessing of an API.
- Amendments: Despite clause 4(c) and subject to clause 15.4(b), if you are not on the “Free” tier referred to in clause 15.2 and we amend or propose to amend the Terms of Use in a way that affects your rights and obligations as you Access the API, then:
- notice re costs: we will give you at least 14 days’ written notice of quantitative changes such as changes to prices and maximum allowances;
- standard notice: subject to 15.4(a)(iii), we will give you a period of notice at least equal to the minimum period to which you have committed in any sign-up process or other process that serves to commit you to a minimum period of Accessing an API, and the changes will not apply to you until the end of that notice period (for example, if you have signed up to a monthly commitment, then we will give you at least one month’s notice of any changes to the Terms of Use that affect your rights and obligations as you Access the API); and
- shorter notice: if we do not give you sufficient notice as required under 15.4(a)(ii) then your only remedy is that, if you write to us telling us that you do not wish to continue with your current minimum committed period, we will cancel your Access to the APIs until the end of the minimum committed period and we will refund to you a portion of any fees you had pre-paid, pro-rated for the period of time already used (for example, if you decide to cancel half way through a monthly commitment, then we will refund to you half of any fees you paid in advance); and
- acceptance: if you continue to Access an API after the notice period expires then you will be deemed to accept the changes made and all ongoing Access by you of all APIs will be subject to the new terms as amended.
- Applicable changes: Clause 15.4(a) only applies to:
- changes or proposed changes that will affect your rights and obligations as you Access the API. For example, if you are on the “pro” tier and the proposed changes to the Terms of Use only affect the costs or maximum entitlements for users on the “free” tier (and not users on the “pro” tier), then clause 15.4(a) will not apply; or
- changes or proposed changes that increase the costs or decrease the maximum entitlements of a tier to which you could potentially be automatically upgraded (as outlined in the table in cluse 15.2(c)). For example, if you are on a lower tier and potentially subject to being upgraded automatically to a higher tier, and proposed changes to that higher tier do not increase the costs or decrease the maximum entitlements, then clause 15.4(a) will not apply.
- Permitted use: If you Access an API you may, despite clauses 8(a), 8(c) and 8(g)(iii) (but subject to the rest of the Terms of Use) reproduce, republish and otherwise make available Content provided to you through the API for commercial use, but only for the purpose of providing and implementing the services, applications and tools in relation to which you are Accessing the API (including those services, applications and tools for which you charge others a fee – which you are permitted to do provided that the services, applications and tools in question do not compete with any component of the Services without our prior written consent).
- Payment: The following clauses apply in relation to your payments to us in connection with your accessing of the APIs:
- “Payment Facility” means any credit card, debit card, bankcard, Paypal account, bank account or other payment facility, details of which you provide to us for the purposes of your being able to make payments in connection with your Accessing of APIs;
- details: you must provide us with, and make sure we have at all times, up to date details of your Payment Facility (chosen from the facilities that we indicate from time to time that we accept), and you warrant that you have all required permissions and authorisations to permit us to charge or draw down from or extract payments from the Payment Facility all amounts that you are required to pay to us under the Terms of Use;
- authority: you authorise us (whether directly or through third party services that we deploy or engage to do so on our behalf) to charge, debit, draw down or extract funds (as the case may be) as necessary to allow us to receive payment of all amounts payable to us by you under the Terms of Use, and agree that you will take all steps necessary (as requested by us) to ensure that we are able to receive such payments without difficulty or delay;
- process: at the end of each calendar month, we will:
- statement: email to you (at the latest contact email address you have notified to us) a statement outlining details of your Access to APIs (including the number of Transactions as defined under clause 15.2(c)(ii)); and
- payment: charge, debit, draw down or extract funds (as the case may be) as necessary to allow us to receive payment of all amounts payable to us by you under the Terms of Use.
- problems and delays: If we attempt to extract or obtain payment from your Payment Facility and the process does not work for any reason then:
- make good: you must comply with all of our requests to ensure that we are able to extract all payments due to us under the Terms of Use;
- access: if the problem or delay was caused by your act or omission (for example, if you did not maintain correct details regarding your Payment Facility) then, without limitation to any other remedies that we may have, we may temporarily suspend your Access to APIs until we receive all payments that you are required to pay to us under the Terms of Use, or we may permanently cancel your Access to APIs; and
- interest: without limitation to any other remedies that we may have, interest will accrue and will be payable by you on all overdue amounts if the problem or delay was caused by your act or omission (for example, if you did not maintain correct details regarding your Payment Facility), such interest to be calculated on a daily basis from the date for due payment of the overdue amount until the date of payment of the overdue amount, at an interest rate equal to the Interest Rate, where:
“Interest Rate” means an annual rate of interest that is equal to: 3% + the “small business; variable; small overdraft” indicator lending rate (“FILRSBVSO”, published by the Reserve Bank of Australia at www.rba.gov.au) that applied during the period when the amount was overdue.
