Thank you for your interest in the Resilio Sync™ API.

The evaluation version of the API (“Evaluation API”) may be used by licensee only for internal evaluation purposes, as set forth herein, and may not be distributed. The API and Resilio Sync sometimes referred to as the "Service".

Use of the API is Subject to these Terms.
