The Service
Zoho Creator is a Service that lets you develop and access online database applications. Zoho Creator enables you to create applications by using drag and drop fields, by importing spread sheets, by importing data from Microsoft Access database, or by using application templates. In addition, you may also use Deluge Script, Zoho Creator's proprietary scripting language, for creating and adding business logic to applications. The applications have three components: forms, views and reports.
Zoho Creator allows you to share private applications or components with other users, make applications or components public, post the applications on Zoho Marketplace and install applications from Zoho Marketplace into your Zoho Creator account. Additional Terms apply to use of Zoho Marketplace. By posting applications on Zoho Marketplace or installing applications from Zoho Marketplace into your Zoho Creator account, you will be deemed to have accepted Zoho Marketplace Terms of Use.
Accessing Zoho Creator
Zoho Creator is a part of Zoho's suite of online collaboration and business productivity applications (hereinafter "Zoho Services"). You will be able to access Zoho Creator by using your common account for all Zoho Services (hereinafter "Zoho Account"). You may also access your applications through the application programming interface provided by Zoho ("API").
Restrictions on Use
By using Zoho Creator, you agree that,
Applications that you create using Zoho Creator may be sold or offered as business solutions only through Zoho Marketplace.
You are not permitted to create applications for multiple organizations.
Only customers, and not the employees of your organization, can be added to the Customer Portal.
Sharing Your Applications
You may keep an application private or make it public. You may also keep the application partially private by keeping some of the components of the application as private and the rest of the components as public. Private applications and Private components may be shared to persons invited by you ("Shared Users"). The Shared Users will be able to access the private applications and Private components only by signing in to their Zoho Accounts. If you invite anyone who does not have a Zoho Account to access private applications and private components, such persons will be able to access the private applications only by creating a Zoho Account. Public applications and public components may be accessed by anyone without signing in to a Zoho Account.
You may assign 'developer' privileges to persons invited by you ("Developer"). Developers may create applications on your behalf. Developers will also have the privileges of modifying, sharing and making public the applications created by Developers for you and for the applications for which developer privileges have been assigned by you.
Shared Users and the Developer will have all the privileges assigned by you until you revoke such access privileges. You must make sure that you revoke access privileges if the purpose for which the access privilege has been granted is fulfilled.
Public applications may be crawled and indexed by search engines. You must make sure that you do not accidentally make any application containing confidential information public.
Usage Limits
Zoho may prescribe usage limits, including number of applications, Shared Users, the size of file attachments and number of records. You understand that Zoho may restrict an activity if you reach the usage limit corresponding to such activity. Zoho may also prescribe restrictions on usage through the API.
