This FICO Marketplace Provider Agreement (“Agreement”) is applicable to your access to and use of FICO® Marketplace and constitutes a legally binding agreement between your organization (the “Provider”) and Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”). This Agreement governs Provider’s ability to publish, distribute, market and otherwise make available (“Publish”) Provider’s software, database(s), solutions and applications, via integration mechanisms and application programming interfaces (“APIs”) (each, a “Provider Offering”) on FICO Marketplace (defined below). FICO’s end-users (each, a “Client”) licensed to use FICO’s products on FICO Platform (“FICO Product Offering”) may access the FICO Marketplace and contract with Provider for the Provider Offerings. The “FICO Marketplace” is a platform where Provider can list and register its Provider Offerings to Clients in connection with a FICO Product Offering.
FICO Marketplace automatically converts a Provider’s JSON API specifications into FICO Platform (each a “Connector Artifact”) which are used by Clients to simplify and speed up connection from FICO Platform to a Provider’s API. These connector artifacts include: i) A term library template which is a translation of a provider’s JSON schema into a FICO Platform formatted data schema. This data schema establishes all data a provider’s API uses for both receiving requests and returning responses; and ii) a normalized OpenAPI spec file that is used for setting up the mechanics of the API call (like path, method and request / response samples) from FICO Platform.
By indicating your consent to this Agreement by checking the box (or similar action) that is presented to you at the time you elect to first Publish a Provider Offering on FICO Marketplace, or by accessing or using FICO Marketplace, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to be bound by this Agreement and that you have authority to agree to these terms on behalf of Provider, and that Provider agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations when using FICO Marketplace. If you do not understand or agree to be bound by this Agreement on behalf of Provider, do not Publish a Provider Offering on FICO Marketplace and do not otherwise access or use FICO Marketplace.
