Airline Community Participation Terms of Use
These are legally binding terms and conditions (“Terms”) between AIRLINE TARIFF PUBLISHING COMPANY (“ATPCO”) and the entity you represent (collectively, “you,” “your” or “Participant”). These terms govern your use of ATPCO data, services, websites, software, and other electronic platforms that we operate and may update from time to time (collectively, the “Platform”).
1. Background
ATPCO provides content, technology, standards, and governance throughout flight shopping. By using our Platform, Participant agrees to all terms and conditions and represents that it has the right, authority, and capacity to enter into these Terms. If you do not agree to any of these terms, then you may not use the Platform. Likewise, by using our Platform, Participant authorizes ATPCO to collect and distribute the Data, as that term is defined herein, on its behalf, either directly or via its agents (e.g., authorized partner airline, third-party service provider or any other authorized entity). In turn, ATPCO will store such Data, calculate results from such Data, and distribute either or both in accordance with these Terms. The definitions of the terms used in these Terms are supplied in Exhibit B.
2. Standards
ATPCO collects, compiles, and curates various types of content, for pricing and retailing; a list of which is provided in Exhibit B which may be updated from time to time (collectively, the “Data”). As an industry body, ATPCO develops and publishes standards and procedures for airlines to manage pricing and retailing content and automation, that describe data exchanges, the processes to upload data, to calculate airline pricing and retailing, as well as processes for government and regulatory filing (individually and collectively “Standards”). These Standards are adopted and agreed to by the participating airlines and other parties engaged in the distribution and processing of airline pricing and retailing products (e.g., systems, channels and airline partners). These Standards govern the accurate collection, processing, distribution, and interpretation of airline retailing content. Any Data provided by you will be subject to these Standards. By participating in the Platform and using the Data, you agree to comply with the Standards. Our Standards may be updated from time to time and can be accessed here.
3. Data Use
You are not required to provide any Data but if you choose to do so, ATPCO will process and distribute the Data (including any calculated results) in accordance with applicable instructions, to systems, channels and partners, governments, and any entities that subscribe to receive the Data. ATPCO also collects certain categories of Data from public sources, including, without limitation, airline websites. By participating in the Platform, you are acknowledging that ATPCO selects, coordinates, and arranges data from you and other industry sources and has a proprietary interest in the resulting compilation that constitutes the Data.
Likewise, Participants may download Data from the Platform, in such case you agree that the Data is for your authorized reference only and may only be used for internal management purposes and no other purpose. Data may be used for internal use only. Participant may not create derivative works using the Data. Without limiting the foregoing, Participant may not use the Data to:

Participant shall not have the right to become a participant in an interline fare published by ATPCO on behalf of another airline without the consent of such other airline.

Participant may access and use content only for flights that it operates, markets, or sells, subject to data availability and other conditions noted in these Terms. Participant may access the Routehappy Hub using a valid ATPCO-issued user ID through a terminal operated by an employee or designee of Participant to manage Routehappy Visuals.
3.2.3 Integration
Participant will be responsible for building Routehappy Visuals in the Routehappy Hub and integrating Routehappy Visuals and Routehappy Attributes with the Routehappy API in accordance with the Terms, which may be updated from time to time.
Participant will have no right to cache any data obtained from the Routehappy API, except within the same end user session and not to exceed 30 minutes, unless otherwise mutually agreed between the parties. Participant will implement any modified, new or enhanced versions of the Routehappy API no later than 90 days after release by ATPCO, beyond which older versions may no longer be supported. Except where specifically agreed with ATPCO, Participant will not publish Routehappy Visuals on Indirect Channels that require or suggest that the customer visit Participant’s website.
Participant may access and use Routehappy Products only to sell and market flights on Participant’s Direct Channels. Participant’s Direct Channels are limited to the domains listed shared with ATPCO, including mobile or desktop applications associated with these domains that provide similar functionality, wholly-owned and operated by Participant.
ATPCO will provide a report reflecting actual query usage by Participant’s Direct Channels to the Routehappy API upon Participant’s request to MyATPCO. Participant may request a query cap by submitting a request to MyATPCO. In such case, ATPCO will not deliver content beyond the query cap provided (and Participant shall not be responsible for payment of queries provided beyond the cap for that month).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, ATPCO updates and verifies the Routehappy Retailing Products we provide.
