Terms of Business Capitalised terms used in this API Agreement have the meanings given to them in our Terms of Business, unless the context requires otherwise or unless separately defined in this API Agreement. The same rules of interpretation set out in our Terms of Business apply in this API Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between the provisions of the API Agreement and our Agreement, the Terms of Business will prevail unless the provision relates exclusively to your use of our API, in which case API Agreement will prevail. In all other circumstances.
