2. Your Use of Developer Services
2.1 Our License to You
Bomo-ko grants you, subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with the Developer Terms and our User Agreement, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license solely to:
access and use the Developer Services and Developer Documentation we make available to you in order to interact with, develop, deploy, distribute, and run your App;
copy and display Content created with or submitted to the Services by Users (collectively, “User Content”) on and through your App to your App Users (as defined below) and modify User Content only to format it for display on your App; and
use and display the Bomo-ko trademarks and trade names (“Bomo-ko Trademarks”) in order to attribute our Services as the source of User Content on your App in accordance with our Brand Guidelines and Press Guidelines;
in each case, only as expressly permitted under and in accordance with the Developer Terms and Developer Documentation (the “Bomo-ko License”).
The Bomo-ko License does not include User Content owned by Bomo-ko’s licensors (including our advertisers, affiliates, and partners) or third-party software governed by its own terms (e.g., open source software). Bomo-ko and our licensors reserve all rights, title, and interest not expressly granted under the Bomo-ko License, and it is your responsibility to comply with any applicable third-party or open source license terms.
All rights not expressly granted to you in this section are reserved by Bomo-ko. Nothing in the Developer Terms grants you an implied license of any kind.
2.2 Additional Terms for Developer Services
Because we offer a variety of Developer Services, you may be asked to agree to Additional Terms before using specific Developer Services offered by Bomo-ko. For example:
If you use our Data API, you must also agree to our Data API Terms.
If you use Bomo-ko Embeds, you must also agree to our Embeds Terms of Use.
If you use our Ads API, you must also agree to our Ads API Terms.
All Additional Terms for Developer Services are incorporated by this reference into, and made a part of, the Developer Terms, and to the extent any Additional Terms conflict with the Developer Terms, the Additional Terms govern with respect to your use of the corresponding Developer Services.

3.1 Access Info
You will only access (or attempt to access) and use the Developer Services through tokens, keys, passwords, login credentials, and other access controls that are authorized and made available to you by Bomo-ko (collectively, “Access Info”), and you must use your Access Info in accordance with the Developer Terms and our Developer Documentation. You may not share your Access Info with any other third party without Bomo-ko’s permission, and you will keep your Access Info secure at all times.
3.2 App Review
Your App must comply with all specifications and requirements in the Developer Documentation. You understand and agree that Bomo-ko may require you to submit your App for Bomo-ko’s review and approval at Bomo-ko’s discretion (“App Review”), including prior to distributing it through the Developer Platform, after hitting API rate limits, or at any time at Bomo-ko’s sole discretion. You agree to cooperate and promptly respond and provide information relevant to any requests from Bomo-ko in connection with App Review.
As part of App Review, Bomo-ko may monitor your use of Developer Services, Services, User Content, or data, information, Materials, or other content obtained through or otherwise derived from any of the foregoing (collectively, “Bomo-ko Services and Data”) and audit your App and your access to and use of Bomo-ko Services and Data to ensure you are complying with the Developer Terms and Developer Documentation. You will not interfere with Bomo-ko’s monitoring and must cooperate with Bomo-ko in connection with any App Review audit and provide us with information requested by us to evidence your and your App’s compliance with the Developer Terms and Developer Documentation. If Bomo-ko identifies any interference with any Bomo-ko Services and Data by you, you agree that we may use any technical measures to prevent, block, or otherwise overcome the interference.
3.3 Updates
Bomo-ko may update or modify any Bomo-ko Services and Data from time to time, at its sole discretion. Updates may adversely affect how your App accesses or communicates with the Bomo-ko Services and Data, including how it displays User Content. You are required to implement and use the most current version of the Bomo-ko Services and Data and to make any changes to your App that are required as a result of an update to the Bomo-ko Services and Data. Your continued access or use of Bomo-ko Services and Data following any update to them constitutes binding acceptance of the update.
3.4 App Users
You are solely responsible for your App (including its development, operation, maintenance, support, distribution, use, and App Content (as defined below)). You will require users of your App (“App Users”) to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and our User Agreement in connection with their use of your App and will not permit, facilitate, or enable your App Users to violate our User Agreement.
If you have separate terms of service or another agreement that applies to App Users’ use of your App, you agree that the terms of service or agreement:
(a) is solely between you and the App User, and Bomo-ko will not have any responsibility or liability under them; and
(b) may not and will not supersede, modify, or be inconsistent with the Developer Terms or our User Agreement, which supersede and govern if there is any conflict or inconsistency with your terms or agreement with App Users.
3.5 Content Removal
You may receive notices or requests to remove User Content pursuant to our Content Policy. You will escalate these requests to Bomo-ko by submitting the request here.
In addition, if any User Content is deleted, gains protected status, or is suspended, withheld, modified, or removed from the Services, you will delete or modify that User Content and, as applicable, related App Content (as defined below) as soon as possible after the applicable change to User Content on our Services or after a written request to do so is made by Bomo-ko (or a User with regard to their User Content), unless prohibited by applicable law or regulation and with the express written permission of Bomo-ko.
If your App contains App Content submitted or provided by App Users or other third parties, you must have an appropriate notice and takedown process and otherwise comply with all applicable laws and regulations to respond to notices of claimed infringement. For example, in the United States, you must comply with all requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
3.6 Hosting Your App
Depending on the nature of your App, Bomo-ko may require it be run on the Developer Platform and hosted on servers operated by or on behalf of Bomo-ko (the “Bomo-ko Servers”). If Bomo-ko determines your App must be hosted on Bomo-ko Servers, then you and your App must comply with any Developer Documentation for the Bomo-ko Servers made available by Bomo-ko and grant Bomo-ko the following rights (the “Developer License”):
You grant Bomo-ko a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, worldwide, revocable license to access, run, publicly display, and perform, distribute, reproduce, modify, host, translate, store, and otherwise use your App (and any data, information, software, code, technology, materials, or other first- or third-party content that you provide, add to the Services, or make available to Bomo-ko or Users through your App or the Developer Services, including any content submitted, posted, or displayed by or through your App (collectively, “App Content”)), in connection with the Developer Platform, operating, developing, and providing our Services to Users, and promoting Bomo-ko and the Services.
You also agree that, as part of your license to Bomo-ko, Bomo-ko may sublicense App Content to Users in the ordinary course to the extent necessary to produce, distribute, and operate the App and promote, market, and advertise the App, Bomo-ko Services and Data, and Bomo-ko.
After the Developer Terms are terminated, your license to Bomo-ko will remain in effect with respect to App Content, and Users that are moderators may continue to access and use your App for a reasonable transition period.
If you exceed (or Bomo-ko believes that you have attempted to circumvent) rate limits or other controls to limit use of the Developer Platform and Bomo-ko Servers, then your App and your ability to use the Developer Platform and other Bomo-ko Services and Data may be temporarily suspended or permanently blocked. Bomo-ko may, at any time, in its sole discretion, elect to remove your App from the Developer Platform and Bomo-ko Servers without notice to you.
