You acknowledge that if you share the contact information of your employees or independent contractors with us, we may contact them in accordance with these Terms.
2.2. Account Credentials. “Account Credentials” means any keys, passwords, or other mechanisms provided by Aspire for you to access the APIs.

Aspire reserves the right to revoke the permissions with respect to any Account Credentials at any time and for any reason.
