Developers must keep these keys confidential and are responsible at all times for the use made of them and for the actions taken when accessing the API using the mentioned credentials.

Mercado Pago may limit, at its discretion, the number of API calls that a Developer can make during any period. Mercado Pago will determine the limits on requests based on various factors, such as how a Developer uses their Application or the expected volume of use of their Application, among others. Mercado Pago may, at its sole discretion, charge Developers a fee for API calls that exceed the established request limit, or interrupt their access to the API. Unused API calls cannot be carried over to the following day or month, as applicable.

Developers may create, display, or distribute Applications that interact with the API, the Website, and the Content of Mercado Pago. Each Developer will be solely responsible regarding the Users of the Application or any third party for the Applications they develop, as well as for their operation, use, and respective consequences. The Applications must observe and comply with all applicable regulations in each jurisdiction where their use is permitted.

Mercado Pago will not recommend, refer, control, review, manage, sponsor, approve, guarantee, or endorse the Applications.

Developers must refrain from including in the title by which the Application is identified the words: “mercado,” “libre,” “pago,” “shops,” “envíos,” and/or “crédito” and shall refrain from using within the Application: (i) such designations; and/or (ii) a combination of colors, screen content, elements, or formats that are identical, similar, or closely resembling those of Mercado Pago, which could confuse or mislead Users.

Developers acknowledge and accept that Mercado Pago may develop products, services, or applications that may compete with the Applications or any other product or service developed by the Developers.

Mercado Pago will not recommend, refer, control, review, manage, sponsor, approve, guarantee, or endorse certified Developers or Applications.

Developers and Applications that obtain Certification will be able to access the benefits that Mercado Pago grants to certified Developers and Applications (“Certified Developers Program” or “Developer Partner Program”). Any benefit received under the Certified Developers Program will be governed by these Terms and Conditions and the Terms and Conditions of the Certified Developers Program.

The Developers will be responsible for the costs associated with the Certification.

Mercado Pago may, at its sole discretion, prohibit any Developer from participating in the Certified Developers Program and therefore deny access to the API until they can prove they have obtained the Certification.

Mercado Pago may revoke any Certification granted if, in its sole discretion, a Developer or an Application has failed to meet the requirements for granting the Certification or these Terms and Conditions.

Mercado Pago may modify the requirements for accessing the Certification and associated benefits of the Certified Developers Program at any time, at its sole discretion, in which case it may require Developers or Applications that have obtained the Certification to comply with the new requirements in order to maintain it.

Those who do not meet the requirements to participate must refrain from using the Mercado Pago Brands and may not present themselves to any third party as a “Developer” or “Certified Developer” or “Certified Partner” or “Certified Application” of or by Mercado Pago.

Developers may not use the Mercado Pago Brands in a way that creates or may create confusion and/or lead Users of the Applications or third parties receiving their communications to interpret that the Applications are owned by Mercado Pago, have been developed by Mercado Pago, or that there is a relationship, association, or connection between Mercado Pago and the Application and/or the Developer beyond what is established in these Terms and Conditions and in the Terms and Conditions of the Developer Program. It must always be clear that the Developer or the Application does not belong to Mercado Pago and that Mercado Pago does not recommend, refer, control, review, sponsor, approve, manage, guarantee, or in any way endorse the Application or the Developer.

The use of the Mercado Pago Brands must comply with the guidelines established in the Mercado Pago Brand Manual, which will be incorporated by reference into these Terms and Conditions, and with any other guidelines that Mercado Pago may establish and/or modify in the future regarding the use of all its brands.

Developers may not modify the Mercado Pago Brands in any way. Mercado Pago may modify or update the Mercado Pago Brands at any time, and Developers using them must display them in their modified or updated version.

Developers grant Mercado Pago a non-exclusive, free license, without territorial or temporal limitations or of any other nature, to use, at its sole discretion, the trade names, brands, logos, designs, and domain names or ownership of the Developers (the "Developer Brands"), for the purpose of advertising or promoting their participation as Developers and/or to disseminate the existence of the Application.

Mercado Pago, at its sole discretion, may restrict, limit, or filter access to Mercado Pago Content, or subject it to compliance with certain conditions. It may also require Developers to have Access Credentials to access certain Mercado Pago Content, in which case Developers must keep such keys confidential and will be responsible for their use and for the actions taken when accessing Mercado Pago Content. Mercado Pago Content may include information or data generated by third parties, and this content is the sole responsibility of the entity that generated it. For the rest of the content that is created or is an original work of Mercado Pago, any use outside the scope of the license provided in this clause will require express written authorization from Mercado Pago (which may be granted via email).

Developers may only display Mercado Pago Content within the Application, during the period in which such content is available to the public. When Mercado Pago Content is no longer available to the public, it must be removed from the Application.

In the event that Mercado Pago becomes aware of or suspects an infringement of the security of the facilities, systems, websites, or Applications of a Developer where Mercado Pago Content is displayed or stored, or of a Developer's infringement of the security requirements described in Clause 10 of these Terms and Conditions, Mercado Pago may suspend or discontinue their access to the API and Mercado Pago Content and/or may conduct a security audit.

Additionally, Mercado Pago may periodically audit, randomly and without prior notice, the systems and facilities of Developers to ensure compliance with the security requirements established in Clause 10.

Developers must cooperate with the audits conducted by Mercado Pago and, if required, must demonstrate that they comply with the Terms and Conditions.

Mercado Pago will provide the Developer with detailed results of any security audit conducted.

In the event that the Developer's systems interact with Mercado Pago's systems, or that Mercado Pago interacts with the Developer's systems where confidential information of Mercado Pago and/or its affiliates is uploaded, included, or accessed, the Developer must have an adequate policy that includes mechanisms to ensure the security of confidential information.

The Developer, without the following being restrictive, must:

(i) Implement all appropriate technical and organizational measures, including a written information security program that complies with applicable and current laws and regulations, designed to ensure and protect the security, integrity, and confidentiality of the Personal Data shared and protect against any unauthorized processing, loss, use, disclosure, acquisition, or access to any Personal Data.

MERCADO PAGO DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE, MERCADO LIBRE SERVICES AND/OR MERCADO PAGO, AND THE API FUNCTION SECURELY. THE API AND ALL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES PROVIDED BY MERCADO PAGO UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," "WITH ALL FAULTS," AND "AS AVAILABLE." DEVELOPERS ASSUME THE RISK OF USING THEM, AND ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THEY HAVE NOT ACCEPTED THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BASED ON ANY WARRANTY OR STATEMENT NOT CONTAINED IN SUCH TERMS.

Developers shall hold Mercado Pago, its controlled, controlling, and/or affiliated companies, and their respective directors, managers, representatives, and/or employees harmless from any administrative, judicial, or extrajudicial claim, damage, cost, expense, judgment, sanction, infringement, or loss arising from or related to: (i) the use that Developers make of the API; or (ii) the development, maintenance, and content of the Applications; or (iii) the infringement by Developers or the Application of third-party rights; or (iv) the breach of the Terms and Conditions by Developers or their service providers; or (v) the use of Mercado Pago Content by Developers or Users of the Application; or (vi) the use of the Application by Users of the Application; or (vii) the falsity or inaccuracy of any statements made by Developers under these Terms and Conditions as well as the documentation in general and the outdated nature of all of these; or (viii) the disclosure or improper or unauthorized use of Confidential Information and Personal Information.

To this end, Developers authorize Mercado Pago to intervene and represent them in such claims, being able to enter into, on their behalf, the transactional agreements that Mercado Pago deems appropriate and that aim to avoid further costs and/or prevent potential contingencies. Likewise, Developers may not enter into transactional agreements without the prior consent of Mercado Pago, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Developers will not use or disclose Confidential Information except as necessary to comply with the Terms and Conditions and to the extent permitted therein.

Mercado Pago reserves the right to revoke, suspend, or interrupt, in whole or in part, the license to use and access the API and any other rights granted under these Terms and Conditions, without cause and at any time, without the need to notify and without generating liability towards the Developer, their suppliers, the Application Users, or third parties.

Furthermore, if Mercado Pago reasonably believes that a Developer or their service providers have infringed the Terms and Conditions, Mercado Pago may take all measures it deems appropriate, such as issuing a warning, initiating an investigation, or suspending or revoking, without prior notice, the license to use the API.

17.2 If the use of the API is made in conjunction with the use of other services provided by Mercado Pago, the terms and conditions and policies of Mercado Pago applicable to those services will also apply and must therefore be respected by the Developers.
