Developer Terms

Welcome! We are excited that you are interested in accessing and using Reddit’s “Developer Services” that include our platform for developers (“Developer Platform”), application programming interfaces (“APIs”), service for embeds (“Reddit Embeds”), software development kits (“SDKs”), other developer products and services, and associated software, data, and code.

These Reddit Developer Terms (“Developer Terms”), Reddit’s documentation, policies, guidelines, and other materials for the Developer Services (collectively, “Developer Documentation”), and the Reddit User Agreement (“User Agreement”) apply to and govern your access to and use of the Developer Services and constitute an agreement between you and Reddit. The Developer Terms include certain terms that are defined in our User Agreement.

Your websites, webpages, applications, bots, services, research, and other offerings (each, your “App”) may interact with our Services and end users (“Users”) through the Developer Services in accordance with the Developer Terms and any applicable Additional Terms.

By accepting the Developer Terms or otherwise accessing the Developer Services, you agree to be bound by the Developer Terms. If you do not agree to the Developer Terms, then you must not access or use the Developer Services.

You may not use the Developer Services and may not accept the Developer Terms if: (a) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Reddit; (b) you are a person barred from accessing, using, or receiving the Developer Services under the applicable laws of the United States or other countries, including the country in which you are resident, or from which you use the Developer Services; or (c) Your Account (including any alternative Account controlled by you) is suspended, terminated, has violated our User Agreement, or otherwise is not in good standing.

If you are accepting the Developer Terms on behalf of your employer or another entity, you represent and warrant that: (a) you have full legal authority to bind your employer, or the applicable entity, to the Developer Terms; (b) you have read and understand the Developer Terms; and (c) you agree, on behalf of the party that you represent, to the Developer Terms. If you do not have the legal authority to bind your employer or the applicable entity, please do not use the Developer Services.

Reddit may ask you to provide us with information about your App (e.g., name and description) and yourself (e.g., your name and email) in order to access and use the Developer Services. You consent to Reddit collecting and using this information. If there are any changes to the information you provide us, you must notify us of those changes and keep your information accurate, complete, and up-to-date at all times.

Reddit grants you, subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with the Developer Terms and our User Agreement, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license solely to:

• access and use the Developer Services and Developer Documentation we make available to you in order to interact with, develop, deploy, distribute, and run your App;

• copy and display Content created with or submitted to the Services by Users (collectively, “User Content”) on and through your App to your App Users (as defined below) and modify User Content only to format it for display on your App; and

• use and display the Reddit trademarks and trade names (“Reddit Trademarks”) in order to attribute our Services as the source of User Content on your App in accordance with our Brand Guidelines and Press Guidelines;

in each case, only as expressly permitted under and in accordance with the Developer Terms and Developer Documentation (the “Reddit License”).

The Reddit License does not include User Content owned by Reddit’s licensors (including our advertisers, affiliates, and partners) or third-party software governed by its own terms (e.g., open source software). Reddit and our licensors reserve all rights, title, and interest not expressly granted under the Reddit License, and it is your responsibility to comply with any applicable third-party or open source license terms.

All rights not expressly granted to you in this section are reserved by Reddit. Nothing in the Developer Terms grants you an implied license of any kind.

Because we offer a variety of Developer Services, you may be asked to agree to Additional Terms before using specific Developer Services offered by Reddit. For example:

• If you use our Data API, you must also agree to our Data API Terms.

• If you use Reddit Embeds, you must also agree to our Embeds Terms of Use.

• If you use our Ads API, you must also agree to our Ads API Terms.

All Additional Terms for Developer Services are incorporated by this reference into, and made a part of, the Developer Terms, and to the extent any Additional Terms conflict with the Developer Terms, the Additional Terms govern with respect to your use of the corresponding Developer Services.

You will only access (or attempt to access) and use the Developer Services through tokens, keys, passwords, login credentials, and other access controls that are authorized and made available to you by Reddit (collectively, “Access Info”), and you must use your Access Info in accordance with the Developer Terms and our Developer Documentation. You may not share your Access Info with any other third party without Reddit’s permission, and you will keep your Access Info secure at all times.

Your App must comply with all specifications and requirements in the Developer Documentation. You understand and agree that Reddit may require you to submit your App for Reddit’s review and approval at Reddit’s discretion (“App Review”), including prior to distributing it through the Developer Platform, after hitting API rate limits, or at any time at Reddit’s sole discretion. You agree to cooperate and promptly respond and provide information relevant to any requests from Reddit in connection with App Review.

As part of App Review, Reddit may monitor your use of Developer Services, Services, User Content, or data, information, Materials, or other content obtained through or otherwise derived from any of the foregoing (collectively, “Reddit Services and Data”) and audit your App and your access to and use of Reddit Services and Data to ensure you are complying with the Developer Terms and Developer Documentation. You will not interfere with Reddit’s monitoring and must cooperate with Reddit in connection with any App Review audit and provide us with information requested by us to evidence your and your App’s compliance with the Developer Terms and Developer Documentation. If Reddit identifies any interference with any Reddit Services and Data by you, you agree that we may use any technical measures to prevent, block, or otherwise overcome the interference.

Reddit may update or modify any Reddit Services and Data from time to time, at its sole discretion. Updates may adversely affect how your App accesses or communicates with the Reddit Services and Data, including how it displays User Content. You are required to implement and use the most current version of the Reddit Services and Data and to make any changes to your App that are required as a result of an update to the Reddit Services and Data. Your continued access or use of Reddit Services and Data following any update to them constitutes binding acceptance of the update.

You are solely responsible for your App (including its development, operation, maintenance, support, distribution, use, and App Content (as defined below)). You will require users of your App (“App Users”) to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and our User Agreement in connection with their use of your App and will not permit, facilitate, or enable your App Users to violate our User Agreement.

If you have separate terms of service or another agreement that applies to App Users’ use of your App, you agree that the terms of service or agreement: (a) is solely between you and the App User, and Reddit will not have any responsibility or liability under them; and (b) may not and will not supersede, modify, or be inconsistent with the Developer Terms or our User Agreement, which supersede and govern if there is any conflict or inconsistency with your terms or agreement with App Users.

You may receive notices or requests to remove User Content pursuant to our Content Policy. You will escalate these requests to Reddit by submitting the request here.

In addition, if any User Content is deleted, gains protected status, or is suspended, withheld, modified, or removed from the Services, you will delete or modify that User Content and, as applicable, related App Content (as defined below) as soon as possible after the applicable change to User Content on our Services or after a written request to do so is made by Reddit (or a User with regard to their User Content), unless prohibited by applicable law or regulation and with the express written permission of Reddit.

If your App contains App Content submitted or provided by App Users or other third parties, you must have an appropriate notice and takedown process and otherwise comply with all applicable laws and regulations to respond to notices of claimed infringement. For example, in the United States, you must comply with all requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Depending on the nature of your App, Reddit may require it be run on the Developer Platform and hosted on servers operated by or on behalf of Reddit (the “Reddit Servers”). If Reddit determines your App must be hosted on Reddit Servers, then you and your App must comply with any Developer Documentation for the Reddit Servers made available by Reddit and grant Reddit the following rights (the “Developer License”):

• You grant Reddit a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, worldwide, revocable license to access, run, publicly display, and perform, distribute, reproduce, modify, host, translate, store, and otherwise use your App (and any data, information, software, code, technology, materials, or other first- or third-party content that you provide, add to the Services, or make available to Reddit or Users through your App or the Developer Services, including any content submitted, posted, or displayed by or through your App (collectively, “App Content”)), in connection with the Developer Platform, operating, developing, and providing our Services to Users, and promoting Reddit and the Services.

• You also agree that, as part of your license to Reddit, Reddit may sublicense App Content to Users in the ordinary course to the extent necessary to produce, distribute, and operate the App and promote, market, and advertise the App, Reddit Services and Data, and Reddit.

After the Developer Terms are terminated, your license to Reddit will remain in effect with respect to App Content, and Users that are moderators may continue to access and use your App for a reasonable transition period.

If you exceed (or Reddit believes that you have attempted to circumvent) rate limits or other controls to limit use of the Developer Platform and Reddit Servers, then your App and your ability to use the Developer Platform and other Reddit Services and Data may be temporarily suspended or permanently blocked. Reddit may, at any time, in its sole discretion, elect to remove your App from the Developer Platform and Reddit Servers without notice to you.

Reddit reserves the right to charge fees for access and use of Reddit Services and Data, rates to be determined at Reddit’s sole discretion. Without our express written approval, you will not, and will not attempt to, or permit or enable others to (including through your App):

• access or use any of the Reddit Services and Data by or on behalf of a business or as part of a service or product that is monetized; or

• sell, lease, sublicense, monetize, or otherwise obtain or derive revenues of any kind from any portion of Reddit Services and Data, whether directly or indirectly, including from any data derived from the foregoing.

If you are interested in using the Reddit Services and Data for commercial purposes, research in excess of rate limits, or for any use that is not expressly permitted under the Developer Terms, you will need to enter into a separate agreement with Reddit.

For more information and examples of restricted commercial use, please review our Developer Documentation here.

You will not, and will not attempt to, or permit or enable others to (including through your App):

• use the Reddit Services and Data to encourage or promote illegal activity or violation of third-party rights;

• misrepresent or mask how or why you are accessing or using the Reddit Services and Data;

Reddit reserves the right to, in its discretion, disable your Account, de-list your App, and block your ability to access Reddit Services and Data until the requested information and documents are processed by Reddit. If you do not provide complete and accurate information in response to our request, then Reddit may refuse to re-list your App or restore your access to the Reddit Services and Data.
