The price and the number of credits included in each package of Extra Credits shall be those indicated on the Website at the time of purchase. Extra Credits contracted by the User and not consumed will be automatically transferred to the following periods of the User's Subscription (rollover). Extra Credits will be consumed once the User has used up the credits associated with his/her current Subscription during the corresponding subscription period and, in any case, only for as long as they maintain an active Subscription. In the event that the User cancels the Subscription and becomes a free User, the unused Extra Credits will be automatically cancelled, without the possibility of any refund or compensation whatsoever. At the time of purchasing the Extra Credits, the User may select the option to convert the purchase of Extra Credits into a recurring purchase. In this case, once the number of Extra Credits available reaches the minimum number indicated by the Company, a new package of Extra Credits will be automatically contracted, with the same price conditions as for the first purchase. The Company may modify the purchase prices of the Extra Credits at any time, provided that it notifies the User who has chosen the recurring contracting option at least 30 days prior to its entry into force, with the email address associated with their account being the means of such communication. The Extra Credits will have an expiry period of 3 years from the time they are purchased, and will be cancelled after that time, with no possibility of reimbursement by the User. | |

| 542 | 551 | Freepik may amend the Terms and Conditions or any of the documents which comprise the Terms and Conditions. Freepik shall endeavor to give notice of any changes made to the Terms and Conditions by sending an e-mail at least 30 calendar days before said changes come into force.

| 543 | 552 | |
| 544 | 553 | #### 3\. Access to and Permitted Use of the API Services |
| 558 | 567 | Notwithstanding any other limitations set forth herein, the Customer and its API Client(s) shall |
| 559 | 568 | |
| 560 | 569 | 1. use the API Services in good faith and solely for the purposes allowed under this Terms and Conditions, avoiding any fraudulent purpose or negligent use thereof; |
| 561 | 570 | 2. ensure that the caching, storing, or otherwise hosting any Freepik Content will be limited to strict technical reasons. The Customer is obliged to call the download endpoint every time a resource is used by an End User, even if the resource is cached, stored or hosted, so that Freepik can trace the legitimate use of the API. The API Client is responsible for implementing appropriate measures to ensure that no automatic or unintentional caching of the Freepik Content takes place. |
| 562 | 571 | 3. adhere to all other usage Guidelines, technical specifications, or documentation provided or made available by Freepik in relation to the API Service |
| 563 | 572 | 4. fulfill all the laws, standards and regulations which apply and not infringe third-party rights; |
| 564 | 5. not access or use the API Services in a way which breaches said laws, standards and regulations or third-party rights, or in a way that is deceitful, unethical, false or confusing, and require anybody else acting on the Customer behalf and its API Client(s) to do so as well; and | |
| 565 | 6. set forth binding terms and conditions and privacy policies for End Users of its API Client(s) that are in accordance with this Terms and Conditions. | |
| 573 | 5. not access or use the API Services in a way which breaches said laws, standards and regulations or third-party rights, or in a way that is deceitful, unethical, false or confusing, and require anybody else acting on the Customer behalf and its API Client(s) to do so as well; | |
| 574 | 6. The API Services are provided solely to enhance the functionality of the API Client and must not be used to create any standalone service or application with features that directly replicate or compete with magnific.ai or freepik.com products. The API Client must maintain a substantially different purpose and functionality from them. For the sake of clarity, fair use would involve embedding the API within a broader application, such as a videogame, where the API Services support but do not define the primary functionality. However, creating an application such as an independent image upscaling service, would constitute a breach of these Terms and Conditions. In such cases, Freepik reserves the right to terminate the Agreement and revoke the license and access to the services at any time; and | |
| 575 | 7. set forth binding terms and conditions and privacy policies for End Users of its API Client(s) that are in accordance with this Terms and Conditions. | |
| 566 | 576 | |
| 567 | 577 | Without limiting the foregoing, the Customer shall not distribute or provide access to its API Client(s) in breach of the trade laws of Spain. The Customer likewise undertakes not to behave in any way that could harm Freepik' image, interests and rights or those of third parties. The Customer shall refrain from impersonating another user or person or from performing any action that may affect or interfere with the API, the API Services or their security. It is forbidden to access or use the API Services in a way which is contrary to their normal use by means of techniques other than those authorized by Freepik from time to time or which unreasonably harm Freepik's interests. |
| 568 | 578 | |
| 569 | 579 | Customer shall not use the API Services to license, resell, distribute or package Freepik Content or for any other activity in a way that violates Freepik Terms of Use or might harm Freepik's business operations, including, without limitation, any print-on-demand services or any other service in which the Freepik Content is directed o may be directed to be used in printed or electronic items (e.g. t-shirts, cups, postcards, birthday or greeting cards, invitations, calendars, web models or electronic devices, apps, NFTs, videogames, advertising spots, audiovisual animations) aimed to be resold, in which the content in the Freepik Content is the main element (because of size, relevance or any other cause, in case of doubt about whether the content is main element, it shall be deemed that the content is main element), unless otherwise stated in an Order Form. |
| 570 | 580 | |
| 571 | 581 | The Customer is solely liable for properly managing and operating the service offered through its API Client(s), as well as for any relationship with or liability to the End Users of its API Client(s). |
