WHOOP API Terms of Use

By accessing or using the WHOOP application programming interface, software development kits, documentation, other developer services, and associated software (collectively, "APIs"), you agree to these API Terms of Use (collectively, with any additional terms, terms within any accompanying documentation, and any applicable policies and guidelines “Terms”).

Under the Terms, (a) "WHOOP" means Whoop, Inc., a Delaware corporation with principal offices at 1325 Boylston St. #401, Boston, MA 02215; and (b) “Company” means anyone accessing or using the WHOOP APIs. Each of WHOOP and Company may be referred to herein separately as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

1. Use of WHOOP APIs​

  1. Acceptance of the Terms. By entering into the Terms and using the APIs, Company represents and warrants that Company is not a person barred from using or receiving the APIs under the laws of the United States or other countries (including the country in which Company is a resident or from which Company uses the APIs). Company agrees to comply with the Terms and that the Terms control Company’s relationship with WHOOP with respect to the APIs. If Company uses the APIs as an interface to, or in conjunction with other WHOOP products or services, then the terms for those other products or services also apply.
  2. Registration. In order to access and/or continue to use certain APIs, Company may be required to provide WHOOP with certain information from time to time (such as identification or contact details). Any such information must always be accurate and up to date, and Company agrees to promptly inform WHOOP of any updates to such information. If required, once approved to access and/or continue to use the APIs, Company is authorized to use the APIs to develop Company Applications subject at all times to the restrictions, conditions, and limitations in the Terms.
  3. Compliance with Law, Third Party Rights, and Other WHOOP Terms of Use. Company will (i) comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and third party rights (including without limitation laws regarding the import or export of data or software, privacy, and local laws); (ii) require Company End Users to comply with (and not knowingly enable them to violate) applicable laws, regulations, and the Terms; (iii) not use the APIs to encourage or promote illegal activity or violation of third party rights; and (iv) not violate any applicable terms of use with WHOOP (or its affiliates).
  4. Permitted Access. Company will only access (or attempt to access) any API by the means described in the documentation of that API. If WHOOP assigns Company developer credentials (e.g., client IDs), Company must use them with the applicable APIs. Company will not misrepresent or mask either Company identity or Company Applications’ identity when using the APIs or developer accounts. Company will not share Company credentials with any other developer or use them for more than one Application.
  5. API Limitations. WHOOP may set and enforce limits on Company’s use of the APIs (e.g., limiting the number of API requests that Company may make, or the number of users Company may serve), in WHOOP’s sole discretion. Company agrees to abide by, and will not attempt to circumvent, such limitations documented with each API. If Company would like to use any API beyond these limits, Company must obtain the prior written consent of WHOOP (and WHOOP may decline such request or condition acceptance on Company’s agreement to additional terms and/or charges for that use), which may be requested by contacting WHOOP at apisupport@whoop.com.
  6. Monitoring. COMPANY AGREES THAT (I) WHOOP MAY (A) MONITOR USE OF THE APIS; AND (B) USE INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM SUCH MONITORING FOR ANY BUSINESS PURPOSE, INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION TO ENSURE QUALITY, IMPROVE WHOOP PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, PROVIDE DEVELOPER SUPPORT, OR OTHERWISE; AND (II) COMPANY WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH SUCH MONITORING. Monitoring may include WHOOP accessing and using Company Applications (e.g., to identify security issues that could affect WHOOP or its members). WHOOP may suspend access to the APIs by Company or Company Applications without notice if WHOOP reasonably believes that Company is in violation of the Terms.
  7. Open-Source Software. Certain software required by or included in the APIs may be open-source software governed by an open-source license. Any such open-source software is licensed under the terms of the end-user license that accompanies such open-source software. Nothing in this Agreement limits Company’s rights under, or grants Company rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of the applicable end-user license for such open-source software.
  8. HIPAA. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by WHOOP, WHOOP makes no representations that the APIs satisfy any obligations or meet any requirements under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as amended ("HIPAA"), and does not intend use of the APIs to create any obligations under HIPAA. If Company is (or becomes) a "covered entity" or "business associate" (each as defined under HIPAA) Company agrees that it will not use the APIs for any purpose or in any manner involving transmitting Protected Health Information (as defined by HIPAA) unless Company has received prior written consent to such use from WHOOP. Company is solely responsible for any applicable compliance with HIPAA and agrees to hold WHOOP harmless for any uses contrary to this provision.
  9. Non-Exclusivity. The APIs are provided on a non-exclusive basis. Company acknowledges that WHOOP and other users of the APIs may develop products or services that may be similar to or may compete with Company Applications, products or services.
  10. Ownership. By using the APIs, Company does not acquire ownership of any rights in the APIs or the content that is accessed through the APIs. WHOOP does not acquire ownership in Company Applications.
  11. Changes to APIs; Technical Support. WHOOP may modify, remove or add portions of, or otherwise update the APIs from time to time in WHOOP’s sole discretion. WHOOP has no obligation to (i) ensure that any update of the APIs continues to be compatible with Company Applications; or (ii) provide any type of technical or other support for the APIs.
  12. Pricing. Access to and use of the APIs is currently provided at no charge. In the event WHOOP decides to start charging for use of the APIs in the future, WHOOP will provide Company with prior notice.
  13. Suggestions. Company may choose to provide WHOOP with feedback, suggestions or comments regarding the APIs or the WHOOP Platform, or Company’s use thereof (collectively, “Suggestions”). Company agrees that WHOOP will be free to use, copy, modify, create derivative works, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, grant sublicenses to, and otherwise exploit in any manner any such Suggestions, for any and all purposes, with no obligation of any kind to Company.

2. Company Applications​

  1. End User Authorization and Consent. Company Applications must (i) be expressly authorized by each end user of the Application (an “End User”) prior to Company accessing any of such End User’s data from the WHOOP Platform; (ii) allow the End User to access such End User's data that Company has collected via the APIs at the request of such End User; and (iii) provide easily accessible End User support contact information. Company represents, warrants and covenants that it prior to Company accessing any of such End User’s data from the WHOOP Platform (a) it has obtained all necessary and appropriate consents required by all applicable laws, regulations or rules, including without limitation all federal, state, local, and international privacy and data security related laws and regulations that are, or which may in the future be, applicable to information identifying or relating to a particular individual, including information referred to as “personally identifiable information” or “personal information” and other data (such laws, regulations or rules, collectively, “Data Privacy Laws”), to allow Whoop to provide such End User data to Company; and (b) it will use such End User data in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations or rules, including without limitation all Data Protection Laws.

Company agrees (i) that Company is fully responsible for the security of End User information in connection with Company Applications; (i) to use commercially reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect End User information collected by Company Applications, including End User personal information, from unauthorized access or use; (ii) to ensure that any WHOOP data or information is encrypted (in transit and at rest) and transmitted over a secure, encrypted channel (e.g., HTTPS); and (iii) to promptly report to End Users any unauthorized access or use of such information (a “Security Incident”) to the extent required by applicable law. Company must notify WHOOP of any Security Incident as soon as possible, but in any event without undue delay after the discovery of such Security Incident by contacting WHOOP at apisupport@whoop.com.

9. General Provisions​

  1. Modification. Upon notice to Company, WHOOP may modify the Terms or any portion to, for example, reflect changes to the law or changes to the APIs. If Company does not agree to the modified Terms for an API, Company should discontinue its use of that API. Company’s continued use of the API constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

WHOOP is not liable for failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond WHOOP’s reasonable control. No waiver or failure to exercise any option, right, or privilege under the Terms on any occasion or occasions shall be construed to be a waiver of the same or any other option, right or privilege on any other occasion. Nothing in the Terms will limit either Party's ability to seek injunctive relief.
