Reliance on API. SugarWOD is still evolving, and we need the flexibility to occasionally make changes to our APIs, including backwards incompatible ones. We will try to give notice of these changes, but you should follow the @SugarWOD Twitter account for updates. Also, parts of our API are undocumented, including certain methods, events, and properties. Given that these undocumented aspects of our API may change at any time, you should not rely on these behaviors.
Applicable laws or agreements. You may not use the SugarWOD API in violation of any law or regulation, or rights of any person, including but not limited to intellectual property rights, rights of privacy, or rights of personality, or in any manner inconsistent with this API TOS or SugarWOD’s other agreements to which you are subject.
Scope of acceptable use. You may not use the SugarWOD API or any other technology in a manner that accesses or uses any information beyond what SugarWOD allows under this API TOS or the Documentation; that changes the SugarWOD Service; that breaks or circumvents any of SugarWOD’s technical, administrative, process or security measures; that disrupts or degrades the performance of the SugarWOD Service or the SugarWOD API; or that tests the vulnerability of SugarWOD’s systems or networks.
Malware. You may not transmit any viruses or other computer programming that may damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept, or expropriate any system or data.
