# Terms and Conditions
# Definitions
The API service is provided by The Odds API Pty Ltd, ACN: 627461947 (“The Odds API”, “We” or “Us”).
Users (or “You”) are defined as any person who has registered to use the API service.
"Service" is defined as the API service and its associated market data.
# Market Data & Transparency
The Odds API is an independent provider of sports market data. We are not a wagering operator, we do not accept bets, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of the bookmakers or wagering brands listed in our Service.
All market data provided via the Service is aggregated from publicly accessible sources available to the general public on the public internet, as well as from third-party interfaces or data feeds where access has been granted via express permission. For the avoidance of doubt, the Service does not circumvent authentication controls to retrieve this data.
All third-party brand names and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners. Their use within our Service is solely for identification, descriptive reference, and factual comparison of markets, and not in a manner that suggests sponsorship, endorsement, or commercial association.
# Liability
We take care to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of our market data. However, wagering markets are highly volatile; on occasion, errors or delays may be present.
No Professional Advice: The Service provides general information only and does not constitute financial or wagering advice.
Verification: It is your responsibility to independently verify the accuracy of the data with the respective wagering operator before acting on it.
Exclusion of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be held liable for losses resulting from actions made based on the data provided in our API, whether that data is correct, erroneous, or outdated.
Third-Party Products: We assume no responsibility for any products or applications created by users of the Service.
# Restrictions
Do not resell, repackage, or redistribute our data as a standalone data product. This includes, but is not limited to, offering our data through your own API, data feed, downloadable files, or any other format intended to serve as a source of raw data for others.
We support and encourage the use of our data in websites, mobile apps, dashboards, analytical tools, and other user-facing applications, including commercial use, provided our data is not the primary product being sold or redistributed.
If we reasonably suspect a violation of these terms, including the resale or redistribution of our data as a data service, we reserve the right to revoke your API key and block future access.
If you are unsure whether your use case is permitted, please contact us.
# API Key Responsibility
Once registered for the API service, you will receive an API key via email or in the accounts dashboard. It is your responsibility to keep your API key private. Failure to do so will make it vulnerable to quota depletion by unauthorized users. If you suspect your key has been breached, you can generate a new one in the accounts dashboard (opens new window).
# Cancellations & Refunds
You may cancel your access to the API service at any time. Payments are non-refundable and your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle.
If you forget to cancel and are charged for a new billing cycle, please contact us at team@the-odds-api.com.
Refund requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis and are granted at our discretion, subject to applicable law.
# Appropriate Usage and Abuse
If we suspect abuse or malicious intent, or if we receive a valid legal order regarding a user's specific use of the data, we reserve the right to terminate API access at any time without warning.
# Responsible Gambling
If the Service is used to promote bookmakers or gambling services, users are encouraged to display appropriate responsible gambling messaging (e.g., "Gamble Responsibly. 18+") on their customer-facing platforms. It is the user's sole responsibility to ensure that their use of the data complies with the specific responsible gambling regulations and advertising standards of their local jurisdiction.
# Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and the Federal Court of Australia, and any courts entitled to hear appeals from those courts, for the resolution of any disputes concerning these Terms or the Service.
# Add-on Privacy
When using the Sports Odds add-on for Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel, no personal information is collected. We may collect anonymous usage information for the purposes of product improvement.
