Companies change their terms quietly. We read every version and catch what actually changed. One email a week on the changes that matter and what they mean.
This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
“The terms and conditions applicable to the use of and other rights with respect to such API by each such API Consumer are solely between each such API Consumer and such API Provider, and not with Rapid.”
“IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF RAPID ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS... EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100.00).”
“...you grant Rapid a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display such content...”
“...not to assert class action or representative action procedures and agree that they will not apply in any arbitration involving the other; (b) not to assert class action or representative action claims against the other...”
“API Consumer may terminate its subscription plan at any time by selecting Unsubscribe from the applicable API plan page. NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED.”
“In no event may API Provider bypass Rapid's billing, management, marketplace or Service and/or use any information obtained via Rapid... to market to API Consumers, solicit API Consumers or other users to leave the Service...”
RapidAPI operates a marketplace connecting API Providers and Consumers, but the rules for any specific API are between you and the Provider — not RapidAPI. RapidAPI can suspend or end your access at any time without warning and for any reason, and if you cancel a subscription you will not receive a refund. If something goes wrong, RapidAPI's total financial liability to you is capped at $100.00.
RapidAPI's Terms of Use establish a marketplace framework in which the contractual relationship governing any specific API's use runs solely between the API Consumer and the API Provider, with RapidAPI expressly not a party to those terms. RapidAPI retains broad platform-control rights, including sole discretion to suspend or terminate user licenses at any time without notice, remove any API or associated content at its sole discretion, and modify transaction fees with no less than 7 days' advance notice. Users who submit content grant RapidAPI a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, and fully sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display that content. RapidAPI's financial exposure is capped at USD $100.00 in aggregate, with all incidental, special, indirect, consequential, exemplary, and punitive damages excluded, and no refunds issued upon termination of API Consumer subscription plans.
As a user, you bear the practical consequences of several one-sided terms: RapidAPI can remove your access or any API without notice and for any reason, you will receive no refund if you cancel a subscription, and any content you submit is licensed to RapidAPI permanently and irrevocably. You are solely responsible for ensuring no personal data is entered into RapidAPI's chatbot. Any individual dispute with RapidAPI must be pursued individually — class and representative actions in arbitration are waived. The maximum financial recovery you can obtain from RapidAPI under these Terms is $100.00. If you wish to avoid providing personal data to the chatbot, that is the one concrete action available to you under the chatbot provision.
