Integration of the SDK should be made according to the documentation which is accessible via the Appsfire dashboard (Dashboard) available on Appsfire.com (Site) - altogether, the Services.

You represent and warrant that if you are an individual, you are of legal age to form a binding contract, or that if you are registering on behalf of an entity, that you are authorized to enter into, and bind the entity to, these Terms of Service and register for the Services. Appsfire may, in its sole discretion, refuse to offer the Services to any person or entity and change its eligibility criteria at any time.

You may terminate these Terms of Service at any time, provided that you discontinue any further use of the Services. Appsfire also may terminate or suspend these Terms of Service, at any time, without notice, and accordingly deny you access to the Services, for any reason, including without limitation, if in Appsfire's sole discretion you fail to comply with any term or provision of these Terms of Service or your use is harmful to the interests of Appsfire and/or our business partners. Altering, modifying or changing the visual design or functionality of Appsfire Engagement Services on the Publisher App from the way it is presented on the SDK documentation would be regarded as a misuse of Appsfire SDK for that matter. Appsfire reserves the right to immediately terminate the Services and revoke any payouts if Publisher acts, via our Services or regardless, in a manner which contradicts applicable law and standards.
