ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

By checking a box or otherwise taking an action to consent to these Site Terms, or by using the Websites, you agree to these Site Terms. If you do not agree to these Site Terms, do not use Postman's Websites.

Postman may provide additional terms more specific to a web page, area of the Website, a specific activity accessed through the Websites, or related to marketing and sales activities for the Postman products ("Supplemental Terms"). Those Supplemental Terms become part of your agreement with Postman if you use those Website areas and/or participate in those activities. If there is a conflict between these Site Terms and the Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms will control for that conflict. The following are expressly considered Supplemental Terms:

Postman may modify these Site Terms to reflect changes in our business, applicable law, or for other reasons deemed necessary by Postman. Please review these terms when you access our Websites to see the latest updates. Except where prohibited by law, such changes will apply on the date posted. If you do not agree to a change to these terms, please discontinue use of the Websites.

Postman may monitor compliance with this AUP and investigate any potential violations. Postman may report any activity that we suspect violates any law or regulation to law enforcement officials, regulators or other appropriate third parties, and cooperate with them to investigate and prosecute illegal conduct. Postman's reporting may include disclosing information related to the violation of this AUP.

Permitted Use of the Websites and Material Available on the Websites

The information available on the Websites is available for your informational, non-commercial purposes, unless Postman presents the content with the express statement that it may be copied and edited by you for your own purposes, such as code snippets in an article or templates provided at https://www.postman.com/templates/ ("Templates and Snippets"). For Postman Materials other than Templates and Snippets, you may only download, store, and display such Materials and Postman materials for your private informational, non-commercial purposes, and may not copy or post such Materials on a shared computer network or otherwise publish, broadcast, or distribute such Materials, except as allowed by U.S. fair use principles. (For example, it is ok to share a blog post with friends and colleagues who may be interested in learning about Postman services, but it is not ok to copy any substantial amount of Postman Materials to present on your own website or copy and modify the Postman Materials for your own commercial purposes.)

You agree that you will not use the Websites or any Postman Materials for any illegal purpose or in a manner that violates any law or rights of any other person.
