# Updates to our Partner Program Agreement and API License and Terms of Use

EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 06, 2023 **ACTION REQUIRED**

We've made changes to our Partner Program Agreement and API License and Terms of Use. These updates include terms that clarify a partner's responsibility to promptly take certain actions, including as necessary to resolve failed requirements and/or violations to our terms, as well as other important updates.

These changes come into effect as of today, February 06, 2023.

We encourage all developers on our platform to review and be familiar with the [API License and Terms](https://www.shopify.com/legal/api-terms?shpxid=823b80d5-C747-48F6-6CF0-832254EC6F4B) and the [Partner Program Agreement](https://www.shopify.ca/partners/terms?shpxid=823b80d5-C747-48F6-6CF0-832254EC6F4B), so that you understand how to build, run, and grow your app and development business on our platform.

For more information and frequently asked questions, please visit the [Shopify Help Center](https://help.shopify.com/en/partners/ppa-api-faq?shpxid=823b80d5-C747-48F6-6CF0-832254EC6F4B).
