IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL TERMS, CLICK THE "CANCEL" BUTTON BELOW AND DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE PLUGIN TOOLS.
Defined terms used herein and not defined are defined in the main body of the Agreement.
This addendum is hereby incorporated by reference into and made a part of the Agreement.
DESCRIPTION OF TOOLS. The "Plugin Tools" made available as part of the SDK offer access to the AOL IM Network for the purpose of creating additional applications or services to access, "plug into" or interact with client software for an AOL Service as further described in the Documentation (each a "Plugin").
RESTRICTED PLUGINS. While AOL wishes to encourage development and creativity in creation of Plugins, in order to maintain the integrity of the program and AOL IM Network, you must agree to the following restrictions: Your Plugin shall not block, disable, or otherwise affect any advertising, advertisement banner window, tabs, links to other sites and services, or other features that constitute an integral part of the client software of an AOL Service or the AOL Service itself. Your Plugin, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by AOL, shall not (i) be promoted, intended, or otherwise targeted at a particular wireless telecommunications carrier's end users, (ii) offer or enable a service or functionality not authorized in writing by AOL that utilizes a wireless telecommunications carrier's network and/or wireless services, or (iii) operate on a mobile communications device that provides voice and/or data services via a wireless telecommunications carrier's network and/or wireless services. Any inquiries regarding the development of a Plugin intended to operate on a mobile communications device that provides voice and/or data services via a wireless telecommunications carrier's network and/or wireless services should be directed to AIMCommercial@aol.com.
Your Plugin, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by AOL, shall not be (i) primarily intended for purchase and/or use by corporate entities, and/or (ii) specially adapted for use primarily in an employment setting, such as through integration with enterprise software, systems, or services (any such Plugin an "Enterprise Plugin"). Any inquiries regarding the development of an Enterprise Plugin should be directed to AIMCommercial@aol.com.
For purposes of clarification, AOL shall be free pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Agreement to cancel any key it has issued to you and / or prevent your Plugin from accessing or working with the AOL IM Network if AOL determines that your Plugin has violated this Section.
USAGE LIMITATIONS. Your license to use the Development Key provided to you for developing your Plugin with the Plugin Tools is subject to your compliance with the following use limitation: your Plugin may be invoked by you only and such usage may be invoked up to five hundred (500) times in the aggregate per calendar day. You may not deploy or distribute your Plugin to any third party.
In the event you apply for and receive a Deployment Key provided by AOL authorizing you to deploy your Plugin, your license to use the Deployment Key is subject to your compliance with the following use limitations: your Plugin may be invoked up to two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) times in the aggregate per calendar day and two million (2,000,000) times in the aggregate per calendar month.
If you wish to exceed the usage limitations set forth above for your Plugin you must obtain (1) an Unlimited Key that is not subject to the usage limitations and (2) the prior written permission of AOL, which may require entering into a separate license agreement.
DISTRIBUTION LIMITATIONS. Your license to use the Deployment Key or Unlimited Key to your Plugin is subject to your compliance with distribution limitations, as follows:
You may only offer your Plugin for download by users from a HTML website located at a publicly available URL address which you identify to AOL in your application for the Deployment Key or Unlimited Key (the "Download Site"). You may not offer or promote your Plugin for any use other than that explicitly authorized in this Agreement, and your Plugin shall be for use with the U.S. based version of the AOL Service exclusively.
