BILL Developer Terms
These Developer Terms (“Agreement”) form a legal agreement between Bill.com, LLC., a Delaware corporation, and its affiliates (“BILL”), on the one hand, and you and any organization you identify in your registration with BILL (your “Organization”), on the other hand. You represent and warrant that you are of legal age and have the right and authority to enter into this Agreement on your own behalf and on behalf of your Organization. In this Agreement, “You” and “Your” refer collectively to you and your Organization. Your use of the BILL Service is conditioned upon your agreement to the terms of this Agreement.
BILL operates a service (located at www.bill.com) in which subscribers may engage in certain payment processing, invoicing and other cash flow management activities (the “BILL Service”). You offer or plan to offer one or more products or services which you have accurately described to BILL as part of the registration process in one or more of several partnership models offered by BILL and described in detail herein.
This Agreement addresses the following proprietary materials of BILL:
- Development tools for integrating Your product or service with the BILL Service (together, the “Integrated Application”) such as implementation guides, applications, sample code, libraries, data, files and any updates to the foregoing that BILL makes available to You on its developer website (developer.bill.com) or otherwise (collectively, the “Developer Materials”) which are hereby incorporated into this Agreement;
- BILL’s web services-based application programming interface to the BILL Service, as further described on the developer website and as modified by BILL from time to time in its sole discretion (the “BILL API”);
- One or more BILL Service accounts for integration, development, and trial purposes only, and not for Your internal productive purposes (Your “Test Accounts”), and
- Option to Participate in BILL’s Partner Program.
1. Organization API License Grant; Restrictions
For the duration and subject to the terms and conditions of the Developer Terms (including the Developer Materials) and this Agreement, BILL grants to You a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited, revocable license to copy and use the Developer Materials, the BILL API and the Test Accounts solely for the purpose of designing Integrated Applications to integrate with or share data between or otherwise communicate with the BILL Service through the BILL API in the manner described by You as part of the registration process.
2. Restrictions
You may not: (1) use the Developer Materials, BILL API, or Test Account to design or develop anything other than an Integrated Application (2) make any more copies of the Developer Materials than are reasonably necessary for the authorized use and backup and archival purposes; (3) modify, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, reverse compile, or disassemble the Developer Materials, the BILL API or the BILL Service; (4) remove any trademarks, logos, copyright notices, proprietary notices or labels displayed on the Developer Materials, the BILL API or the BILL Service or any copies made by You, or (5) distribute, sell, lease, rent, lend, sublicense, or provide any access to any part of the Developer Materials, BILL API or Test Account to any third party except as included within and necessary to distribute an Integrated Application. You have no authority to distribute the BILL Service or make it available to customers, unless granted in a separate agreement between You and BILL.
3. API Key
BILL will assign You a unique identifier for each Integrated Application (the “Key”). To initiate a session with the BILL Service, the Integrated Application shall pass this Key together with the UserID and password of a valid, authorized BILL customer account, to the BILL API. You acknowledge and agree that this Key is the property of BILL, and that the misuse of this Key by You or a third party could cause substantial loss and damage to BILL and its customers. Accordingly, You will implement appropriate measures to protect the security of the Key and not provide the Key to any third party, and You will notify BILL promptly if You suspect it has been misappropriated or misused or lost or stolen or otherwise accessible to a third party without rights to use it.
4. Approval
You will obtain written approval from an authorized representative of BILL, which may be an email, before You sublicense or distribute the Integrated Application to customers. BILL will review the Integrated Application for merchantable quality and compliance with this Agreement at any time during the term. BILL will not be responsible for any costs, expenses, damages, losses (including without limitation lost business opportunities or lost profits) or other liabilities You may incur as a result of Your development of the Integrated Application regardless of whether BILL approves it. You will be solely responsible for assuring that the Integrated Application conforms to Your descriptions of the Integrated Application disclosed to BILL and specifications and documentation you provide to your users, is free of defects in design and operation, and complies with applicable laws and regulations. You will also be solely responsible for end user customer support and warranty of Your Integrated Application. In the event that You materially modify or update the Integrated Application, You will notify BILL and BILL will have the option to review it, and to approve it or not, in BILL’s sole discretion.
5. Customer Data
This Agreement does not grant You any rights to any data or other information of any BILL customer that You may access through Your integration with the BILL Service, or that You may collect from BILL customers in connection with the Integrated Application (“Customer Data”). You shall obtain any required rights to Customer Data directly from such customers, and provide all appropriate privacy and other notifications, within the Integrated Application. You will use Customer Data solely during the Term and solely for the purpose of distributing or processing such Customer Data for approved Integrated Applications.

You shall not, and shall ensure that its service providers shall not hold out itself out as agent acting for BILL, nor hold out BILL as in any way providing information to the Customer, end user or to any other person in accordance with the Customer's or end user's instructions. You will comply with all laws and regulations applicable to each type of Customer Data, including without limitation the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 (“CAN-SPAM Act”) and the Payment Card Industry Standard.

14. No Agency
Except as otherwise contemplated under the terms of the Agreement Organization agrees that it will not:

Thereafter, subject to Your payment of annual renewal fees (if any specified by BILL) and compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the term of this Agreement will automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms, unless sooner terminated as set forth herein. If either party notifies the other party in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term that it desires not to renew the Agreement, then the Agreement will expire at the end of then-current term.

During each Audit, Developer shall grant the auditors reasonable access to Developer’s records, third-party audit and examination reports, systems, facilities, controls, processes, and procedures.
You will ensure that your Integrated Application receives and transmits data with a protocol at least as secure as those accepted by the BILL API, and that your Integrated Application contains protections that are adequate to keep secure and prevent the interception of any Customer Data. You agree to periodically assess the security of your BILL API Integrated Application to ensure it is maintained free of defects and security vulnerabilities; and you will share the results of such assessment with us upon request. We may require that such an assessment be conducted prior to granting you access to the BILL API or at any other time that we deem reasonably necessary to ensure the security of your Integrated Application or the BILL API. You will not attempt to circumvent any security measures or technical limitations imposed by us or by the BILL API.
3. Security Incidents and Notification
You will use best efforts to protect Customer Data and any BILL Data collected by your Integrated Application, from any unauthorized access, use, or disclosure (“Security Incident”). You and your Integrated Application will comply with laws that protect Customer Data, and all other applicable privacy laws and regulations. You will notify us within 48 hours of becoming aware, or have reason to suspect the occurrence of any Security Incident or other security breach (including any actual, or suspected theft, loss or misuse of Customer Data) that you discover or suspect in connection with: (a) your use of the BILL API, or (b) your Integrated Application. You agree to collaborate with BILL on creating a notification and remediation strategy for Users. You also agree to promptly notify any Users whose information may have been affected to the extent required by Applicable Law.
