2.2. Account Credentials.  “Account Credentials” means any keys, passwords, or other mechanisms provided by Aspire for you to access the APIs.  You will keep your Account Credentials confidential and secure and immediately inform Aspire at security@servicetitan.com of any confirmed or suspected loss, unauthorized access or use, of any of your Account Credentials.  You will not apply for additional Account Credentials in an attempt to circumvent these Terms or the Documentation, including limits on the APIs. Aspire reserves the right to revoke the permissions with respect to any Account Credentials at any time and for any reason.

3. LICENSE GRANTS AND RESTRICTIONS

3.1. API License.  Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms, Aspire hereby grants to you a limited, non-exclusive, nonsublicenseable, nontransferable, royalty-free license to use the APIs to develop, test, use, and maintain an interconnection between your Application and Aspire Platform.
