Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of the OddsRelay data feed and application programming interface (the "Service"). The Service is provided by OddsRelay ("OddsRelay", "we", "us", "our").

By subscribing to, accessing, or using the Service — including any free trial — you ("you", "the Client") agree to these Terms. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you confirm you have authority to bind it.

1. Who we are — and what we are not

OddsRelay is a business-to-business data supplier. We normalise and match bookmakers' own publicly displayed odds, and license access to the resulting data feed through an API.

• We are a technology and data service provider. We do not operate, endorse, or have any affiliation with any gambling, betting, or gaming service.
• We do not accept bets, hold customer funds, offer any gambling facility, or provide betting, investment, financial, or legal advice.
• We work from bookmakers' own public prices. We do not relicense or copy any other provider's proprietary or processed feed.

2. Definitions

• "Feed" / "Data" — the odds data (including matched, back-vs-lay and related opportunity data) made available through the Service.
• "API" — the OddsRelay application programming interface at api.oddsrelay.io.
• "API Key" — a credential we issue that authenticates and scopes your access.
• "Order" — the plan, order form, quote, or written arrangement that sets your commercial terms (fees, feed types, regions, limits, term).
• "Permitted Purpose" — use of the Feed inside your own product or service, for your own end users, as described in your Order (and clause 4).
• "Acceptable Use Policy" / "AUP" — our Acceptable Use Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
• "End User" — a person or business that uses your product or service.

3. The Service

We provide access to the Feed via the API, subject to your Order, these Terms, and the AUP. The specific feed types, regions, rate limits, and any add-ons available to you are those enabled on your API Key and set out in your Order. Documentation is provided at our developer docs.

4. Licence and permitted use

Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to access the Feed and use the Data solely:

• for the Permitted Purpose;
• within your own product or service, for your own End Users; and
• within the feed types, regions, and limits enabled on your API Key.

You may display, transform, compute on, and transiently cache the Data inside your product as needed to operate it. All other rights are reserved. Your use is also governed by the AUP, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

5. Restrictions

You must not (and must not permit anyone to):

1. Resell, redistribute, syndicate, republish, sublicense, broker, or share the Feed (or any substantial or repeated part of it) with any third party;
2. expose the Data as data through your own API, feed, export, webhook, or bulk download in a way that lets a third party obtain it as data (rather than as part of your finished product);
3. share, sell, pool, or proxy API Keys, or relay requests on behalf of others;
4. use the Feed to build, seed, benchmark, or train a competing odds dataset, feed, model, or data product;
5. reverse-engineer, probe, or attempt to discover, reconstruct, or publish our data sources, collection methods, or matching/processing logic;
6. exceed your rate or usage limits, bulk-extract outside the documented API, or circumvent authentication, rate limiting, or other controls; or
7. use the Feed for any unlawful purpose or in breach of clause 11.

The full list of do's and don'ts is in the AUP. A serious breach of this clause 5 or the AUP is a material breach of these Terms.

6. API keys and security

Access is via per-Client API Keys. You are responsible for keeping your keys secret, for all activity under your keys, and for your End Users' use of your product. Notify us promptly at hello@oddsrelay.io if you suspect a key has been compromised. We may rotate or revoke keys where reasonably necessary for security, or on breach, suspected abuse, or non-payment.

7. Fees and payment

• Fees, billing period, and payment terms are those set out in your Order. Fees are exclusive of VAT and other applicable taxes, which you will pay in addition where due.
• Unless your Order says otherwise, fees are payable in advance for each billing period and are non-refundable except where required by law.
• If an invoice is more than 14 days overdue, we may (on 7 days' further notice) suspend the Service and/or charge interest on the overdue amount at the statutory rate under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
• We do not publish a rate card; pricing is agreed per Order.

8. Coverage and changes to the Service

We use reasonable efforts to maintain broad, current coverage, but coverage is not guaranteed to be exhaustive or constant. Bookmakers, markets, exchange/lay availability, and regional coverage may change — for example, if a bookmaker blocks access, a market closes, or a region's regulatory posture shifts. We do not warrant that any specific bookmaker, market, region, or exchange will remain available. We may add to, change, or discontinue parts of the Service, and will give reasonable notice of material adverse changes affecting a live integration.

9. Service levels

Any uptime and data-freshness targets that apply to you are those stated in your Order or an accompanying service-level schedule. Where service credits are offered, they are your sole and exclusive remedy for a failure to meet those targets, and exclude issues caused by force majeure (clause 16), your or a third party's systems, scheduled maintenance, use outside your limits, or bookmaker/source-side changes.

10. Intellectual property

All intellectual property and other rights in and relating to the Service, the Feed, the Data, the API, the documentation, our data sources, collection methods, and matching/processing logic, and our brand, remain our exclusive property (or that of our licensors). You receive only the limited access licence in clause 4. Nothing transfers any rights in our software, source code, methods, models, or know-how. You acknowledge that our sources and methods are confidential trade secrets and agree not to probe, reverse-engineer, or publish them.

11. Your compliance responsibilities

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Feed, your product, and your End Users' activity comply with all laws and regulations applicable to you, in every jurisdiction in which you operate. In particular, you warrant and agree that you:

• hold all licences, registrations, and regulatory approvals required for your business and product (including any gambling, betting, advertising, or operating licences);
• comply with all applicable gambling, advertising, consumer-protection, age-verification (18+), anti-money-laundering, sanctions, and data-protection laws;
• will not use the Feed to operate or facilitate unlicensed or unregulated gambling in any jurisdiction where a licence is required;
• will not provide services to minors or to persons in prohibited or sanctioned jurisdictions (including those subject to UK, UN, or OFAC sanctions); and
• will not use the Feed for official-data-dependent bet settlement without holding the necessary rights.

Breach of this clause 11 is a material breach and entitles us to suspend or terminate immediately and to rely on the indemnity in clause 15.

12. Data accuracy — no advice, no guarantee ("as is")

The Feed is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we give no warranty that the Data is accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for any particular purpose. Odds change constantly; data may be incomplete, delayed, or wrong; and bookmakers may void, limit, restrict, or close accounts.

The Feed is data only. It is not betting, investment, financial, or legal advice, and is not a recommendation to place any bet. We do not guarantee any profit, arbitrage, or matched-betting outcome. You, and your End Users, act entirely at your own risk. You must not present the Data to your End Users as advice from OddsRelay or as a guarantee of profit.

13. Warranties

Each party warrants it has authority to enter into these Terms. We warrant that the Service will perform substantially in accordance with our documentation. Except as expressly stated in these Terms, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, all other warranties, conditions, and terms (whether express, implied, or statutory) are excluded.

14. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes either party's liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

Subject to that:

• Neither party is liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, revenue, bets, anticipated savings, "expected" arbitrage or matched-betting gains, data, goodwill, or business, in each case however arising.
• Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms and the Service is limited to the total fees you paid to us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
• Your indemnity in clause 15 is not subject to the cap in this clause 14.

15. Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold us harmless against all losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your breach of clause 5, clause 11, or the AUP; (b) any use of the Feed by you or your End Users that is unlawful in any jurisdiction; and (c) any third-party claim relating to your product or your use of the Data.

16. Suspension and termination

• Suspension. We may suspend your access immediately for non-payment (after the notice in clause 7), for a breach of clause 5, clause 11, or the AUP, or where reasonably necessary to protect the security or integrity of the Service or other clients.
• Termination. Either party may terminate for the other's material breach that is not remedied within 30 days of written notice (breaches of clause 5, 11, the AUP, IP, or confidentiality are deemed incapable of quick remedy and may be treated as immediately terminable), or on the other's insolvency. Either party may choose not to renew at the end of a term on at least 30 days' notice.

17. Effect of termination

On termination or expiry: (a) your licence and access end and we may deactivate your API Keys; (b) accrued fees become due; and (c) you must cease all use and delete all cached or stored copies of the Data within 30 days, except data (i) irreversibly embedded in a historical End-User outcome (such as a bet already placed) or (ii) that you must keep by law (which you will keep confidential and not use). Clauses that by their nature should survive (including 5, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 20) survive termination.

18. Confidentiality

Each party will keep the other's confidential information confidential and use it only to perform these Terms. Our data sources, collection and matching methods, infrastructure, and the commercial terms of your Order are our confidential information and, where they are trade secrets, remain protected for as long as they stay secret.

19. Data protection

Each party will comply with applicable data-protection law (including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018) in respect of any personal data processed under these Terms. The Feed itself contains no personal data. Our handling of business-contact, account, and usage data is described in our Privacy Policy. Where one party processes personal data on behalf of the other, the parties will put a data-processing agreement in place.

20. Publicity

Neither party will use the other's name, logo, or the existence of the relationship in public marketing without prior written consent. We may refer to you anonymously (for example, "a leading matched-betting platform") in general terms.

21. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control. For us, this expressly includes bookmaker changes, blocks, or removals, third-party hosting or network failures, and changes in law that restrict data collection. Affected service-level targets are suspended for the duration of the event.

22. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material adverse changes affecting a live integration, we will give reasonable notice (for example, by email or an in-product/on-site notice). Your continued use after the changes take effect is acceptance of the updated Terms.

23. General

• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign to an affiliate or in connection with a reorganisation or sale.
• Entire agreement. These Terms, your Order, the AUP, and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us and supersede prior discussions. If there is a conflict, the order of precedence is: your Order, then these Terms, then the AUP, then the documentation.
• No waiver; severance. A failure to enforce is not a waiver. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest continues in force.
• Third parties. No one other than you and us has any rights under these Terms (Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 excluded).
• Notices. Notices to us: hello@oddsrelay.io. Notices to you: the contact details on your Order or account.

24. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute arising out of them (including non-contractual disputes) are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. This does not change the fact that the gambling and other regulatory laws of your own jurisdiction apply to your operations.
