You may write a software application or website ("Application")
that interfaces with the Services. You acknowledge that we may change,

can adjust your Application, but we are under no obligation to do so. You and
any Applications that you may build, distribute, or otherwise create may make
network calls or requests to the Services, or may receive phone calls via the
Service, at any time that the Services are available. You may use the Services
