  Tekion does not publish public, self-serve pricing for the Automotive Partner
  Cloud (APC) API program. Access is partner-gated and tiered - Standard,
  Enterprise (Elevated), and Strategic (Premium) - with each tier differing in
  the set of APIs exposed, rate limits, read/write and reference-data
  capabilities, and go-to-market support. Commercial terms are negotiated as
  part of the partner agreement (contact sales / partner enablement); dealers
  separately authorize which partners may access their data through the APC
  Integration Hub. Exact fees are not published and are not reconciled here.
notes: >-
  Tiers are named as advertised on the APC pages; the "Elevated"/"Premium"
  labels also appear in Tekion's API-access descriptions and are treated as
  synonyms of the Enterprise/Strategic partner tiers. Verify current tier
  definitions and pricing directly with Tekion partner enablement
  (APCintegrations@tekion.com) during reconciliation.
