Introduction

Thank you for your interest in the Trafiklab.se API: s. The Trafiklab.se API: s (“ the API: s”) are a collection of API: s to data on public transportation in Sweden (“ the Provided Data”), collected and compiled by Samtrafiken i Sverige Aktiebolag (“ Samtrafiken”) and its partners, provided to you by Samtrafiken for the purpose of encouraging the development of applications, web services and similar developments related to public transportation in Sweden.

Provided that you

1. register an account with Trafiklab.se at www.trafiklab.se;
2. choose the type of API which best fits the purposes of your intended development (for detailed information on the technical requirements and limitations of each API type, see the technical documentation provided with each respective type of API) ; and
3. accept these Terms and Conditions;

Samtrafiken grants you a license to the SL APIs in accordance with the following.

License grant

Subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in these Terms and Conditions, Samtrafiken grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable license to the API, for the purpose of accessing, using and publicly displaying the Provided Data in your application, web server or similar development.

The license is based on the principles of the Creative Commons Attribution-license, and thus allows you to share (copy, distribute and transmit the work) and remix (i. e. alter, adapt and change the work, including integration with other information and/or settings), also for commercial purposes, however provided that you attribute the work as specified in section 4.1 below. Conditions and limitations in addition to the Creative Commons Attribution-license also apply, as provided in these Terms and Conditions.

Said license, or any development based thereon, shall in no way be construed as a limitation of Samtrafiken’ s and its original sources’ right to freely utilize, develop or delete the API, the Provided Data or products or services based thereon.

Technical requirements

In order to secure the availability and performance of the API and the Provided Data, developments based on the API shall be constructed in a manner which minimizes the capacity burden of the API. For this purpose, certain technical requirements and limitations are provided in the technical documentation of each type of API (“ the Technical Documentation”). The Technical Documentation shall be considered an integral part of these Terms and Conditions and, thus, by agreeing to accept these Terms and Conditions you agree to observe the limitations set forth in the Technical Documentation provided for the API of your choice.

Certain technical limitations, such as the number of requests per minute or month, may be improved by reserving a premium account. The prerequisites, terms and conditions for a premium account are stated in the respective Technical Documentation. Changes to other technical limitations, such as technical support, are only provided upon specific agreement with Samtrafiken. Such individual agreements may be discussed and arranged by contacting Samtrafiken at [email protected].

Data requests in excess of or otherwise in breach of the technical limitations provided in the respective Technical Documentation may be blocked by Samtrafiken, and Samtrafiken reserves the right to terminate such license to the API in accordance with section 10 below.

Requirements on use

Applications, web services and similar developments which contain information retrieved via the API shall expressly state that the product or service is based on information retrieved from Trafiklab.se and, when practicable, a hyperlink to Trafiklab.se shall be provided.

Unless previously approved in writing by Samtrafiken, the API may not be used for applications, web services or similar developments which offer users the possibility to purchase tickets for public transportation. The approval of such functionality may however be discussed and agreed by contacting Samtrafiken at [email protected].

As a condition for using and embedding the API into your application, web service or similar development you further agree that when using the API, you will not:

1. copy Provided Data in order to create your own transcript of the Provided Data (the prohibition against copying does, however, not apply to temporary copies for the purpose of caching). Provided Data must always be retrieved via the API;
2. assign, transfer or disclose the API key to any third party;
3. interfere with, intercept, disrupt, filter or disable any features of the API or the Provided Data;
4. transmit any viruses, worms, defects, Trojan horses or any such items of a destructive nature;
5. infringe any third party intellectual property rights;
6. access or use the API or any Provided Data through any technology or means other than those provided through Trafiklab.se;
7. use the API or the Provided Data in a manner which directly or indirectly opposes or obstructs the purpose of Trafiklab.se and of Samtrafiken, i.e. to increase the lawful use of public transportation in Sweden;
8. use the API or the Provided Data in a manner which in Samtrafiken’ s reasonable opinion disparages, infringes or dilutes the name, trademarks, logos, domain names and other distinctive brand features of Samtrafiken or its partners;
9. use the API or the Provided Data in any other manner than as is legal, proper and in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

If you are interested in doing anything different than the foregoing, you must first obtain Samtrafiken’ s written consent. If you fail to do so Samtrafiken reserves the right to terminate the API in accordance with section 10 below and, if deemed appropriate by Samtrafiken, to take legal action.

Upon the termination of these Terms and Conditions for any reason, all license rights granted herein shall terminate, and you must immediately cease to use and delete the API, the Provided Data and trademarks of Samtrafiken.

Miscellaneous

These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between you and Samtrafiken and govern your use of the API and the Provided Data, superseding any prior agreements between you and Samtrafiken.

These Terms and Conditions may be assigned by Samtrafiken and will inure to the benefit of Samtrafiken, its assignees and successors.

The failure of any party to enforce any right or provision of these Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
