Content shall not include and you will not have any rights to use in any manner any data samples even if, as a technical matter, ESHA provides data samples to you via the APIs, and you shall pay to ESHA any fees, penalties, charges or expenses assessed against you by ESHA if you use any data samples. The "APIs" consist of programmatic web application programming interfaces, code and associated tools and documentation which will display certain Content as released from ESHA from time to time, subject to the limitations and conditions described in this Agreement.
3.1 Developer Accounts and Keys. In order to obtain access to the APIs, you must create a developer account. You may be limited by the account creation process to one account per email address.

You may not sell, transfer, sublicense or otherwise disclose your Keys to any other party or use them with any third party application(s), technology, website(s) or property. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy and security of your Keys. You are fully responsible for all activities that occur using your Keys, regardless of whether such activities are undertaken by you or a third party. You should notify us immediately if you believe your Keys have been compromised or misappropriated in any way, including, without limitation, by a third party.

Furthermore, ESHA may at any time and in its sole discretion change, limit, suspend, disable, terminate or discontinue all or any portion of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if your entering into this Agreement with ESHA would cause any liability to ESHA and/or jeopardize ESHA's compliance with any law, rule, regulation, executive order, treaty or other obligation, then this Agreement is void and shall never enter into effect, regardless of whether or not ESHA takes any action related to your request to enter into this Agreement, including but not limited to issuing you a Key.
