OddsAPI.dev Terms of Service

1. About these Terms

1.1 These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the OddsAPI.dev website (www.oddsapi.dev), the API at api.oddsapi.dev, the dashboard, the documentation and any related services (together, the "Service").

1.2 In these Terms, "OddsAPI.dev", "we", "us" and "our" mean the operator of the Service.

1.3 You accept these Terms when you create an account, tick a box accepting them, or use the Service. If you use the Service for an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind that organisation, and "you" means both you and the organisation. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1.4 Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data.

2. Key definitions

• "Data" means any odds, prices, markets, fixtures, results or other information made available through the Service.
• "API Key" means a credential we issue to you (prefixed oapi_) for accessing the API.
• "Your Application" means a website, app, model, tool or internal system that you operate and that uses the Data.
• "End Users" means the people who use Your Application.

3. Eligibility

3.1 You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher, to use the Service.

3.2 The Service is intended for developers and businesses. If you are a consumer, you keep any rights that the law where you live gives you and that cannot be excluded by contract. Nothing in these Terms affects those rights.

3.3 You must not use the Service if doing so would break the law where you are, or if you are subject to sanctions (see section 21).

4. What the Service is, and is not

4.1 OddsAPI.dev is a data provider only. We provide football betting odds data (pre-match and in-play) through a developer API.

4.2 We are not a sportsbook, bookmaker, betting exchange or gambling operator. We do not accept bets, hold funds for betting, or settle wagers.

4.3 We do not give betting, financial, investment or legal advice. The Data, and anything calculated from it (such as implied probabilities, margins, or comparisons between bookmakers), is general information. It is not a recommendation to place any bet or make any trade.

4.4 We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any bookmaker or betting exchange. Bookmaker names such as Bet365, Paddy Power, Betfair, BetMGM and Pinnacle, and any related logos, are trademarks of their owners. We use them only to identify which odds the Data relates to.

5. Accounts and API Keys

5.1 You may sign up with an email address and password or with Google sign-in. You must give accurate information and keep it up to date.

5.2 You are responsible for keeping your password and API Keys secret. Do not put API Keys in client-side code, public repositories or anywhere else they can be seen. You are responsible for all activity under your account and API Keys, including usage and charges, whether or not you authorised it.

5.3 Tell us immediately at support@oddsapi.dev if you think an API Key or your account has been compromised. We may revoke or rotate any API Key that we believe is compromised, shared or misused.

5.4 Each account is for one customer. You must not share an account or API Key with another person or organisation, and you must not create multiple accounts to get around quotas, trials or restrictions.

6. Plans, quotas and rate limits

6.1 Each plan has a monthly request quota and a per-minute rate limit, as shown on our pricing page or in your dashboard. Usage is counted per API Key and per account, and our records of usage are final unless they are clearly wrong.

6.2 If you exceed your quota or rate limit, the API may return HTTP 429 responses until your limit resets or you upgrade. Requests rejected this way are not a failure of the Service.

6.3 You must not try to get around quotas or rate limits, for example by rotating keys or accounts or by spreading requests across accounts. We may throttle, suspend or block usage that harms the Service or other customers.

7. Free trial

7.1 We may offer a 7-day free trial with a reduced quota (currently 10% of the selected plan's monthly quota). Trial features and limits may differ from paid plans.

7.2 Each person or organisation is eligible for one trial only. We may refuse or end a trial at any time, including where we suspect abuse.

7.3 You must add a payment method to start a trial. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your paid subscription starts automatically and you will be charged for the plan you selected. If you cancel during a trial, your trial access ends straight away.

7.4 The Service is provided during the trial with no commitments of any kind (see section 14). To the extent the law allows, we have no liability to trial users beyond the minimum amount in section 15.3.

8. Subscriptions, payment and refunds

8.1 Pricing. Paid plans are monthly subscriptions priced in US dollars. Current plans are Starter (US$50), Growth (US$129) and Scale (US$379) per month, as shown on our pricing page at the time you subscribe.

8.2 Merchant of Record. Payments are processed by Dodo Payments, which acts as our Merchant of Record. Dodo Payments sells the subscription to you, charges you, calculates and collects any applicable taxes, and issues your invoices. Its own terms and privacy policy also apply to your payment. We do not receive or store your full card details.

8.3 Renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically each month, and you are charged in advance for each billing period, until you cancel.

8.4 Cancellation. You can cancel at any time from your dashboard. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access until then.

8.5 Refunds. Except where the law requires otherwise, or where Dodo Payments' refund policy gives you a right to a refund, all fees are non-refundable. This includes partial months, unused quota, downgrades, and accounts suspended or terminated for breach of these Terms. We may consider refund requests for clear billing errors case by case, but we are not obliged to grant them.

8.6 Consumer cancellation rights. If you are a consumer in the UK or EU, you may have a statutory right to cancel within 14 days. By asking the Service to start straight away, you agree that if you cancel within that period, you must pay for the Service provided up to the date you cancel, to the extent the law permits.

8.7 Failed payments. If a payment fails, we may limit, suspend or downgrade your access until the payment is made.

8.8 Price and plan changes. We may change prices, quotas, rate limits or plan features. We will give you at least 30 days' notice of any price increase or material reduction in a paid plan's limits. The change will apply from your next billing period after the notice period ends. If you do not agree, you can cancel before the change takes effect.

9. Your licence to use the Data

9.1 While you have an active account, and as long as you comply with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to access the API and use the Data inside Your Application.

9.2 Uses that are permitted include:

• using the Data in your own apps, websites, dashboards, tools, research and models
• displaying odds, or information derived from them, to your End Users within Your Application
• caching Data temporarily, as reasonably needed to run Your Application

9.3 In short: displaying odds within your own application is permitted, but redistributing the Data as a data feed is not.

9.4 You do not acquire any ownership of the Data or the Service. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved.

10. Restrictions

You must not, and must not allow anyone else to:

1. sell, resell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise redistribute the Data, or any substantial part of it, as a raw dataset, data feed, API, file download or similar product
2. offer a product that is substantially similar to the Service, or that substitutes for it, or use the Data or the Service to build or improve a competing odds data service
3. bulk download, systematically archive, or build a database of the Data in order to redistribute it, publish it, or make it available to third parties
4. give third parties programmatic or bulk access to the Data, for example by passing it through your own API, webhook, MCP server or similar interface for others to use
5. share, publish, sell or transfer API Keys, or let anyone outside your organisation use them
6. scrape, crawl or extract data from our website or dashboard, except through the API as documented
7. reverse engineer the Service, try to get around security, authentication, quotas or rate limits, or probe, scan or load-test the Service without our written permission
8. interfere with or disrupt the Service, or send malicious code, excessive load or abusive traffic
9. use the Service or Data for anything unlawful, fraudulent or harmful, including illegal gambling, money laundering, match-fixing, sports integrity offences, or market manipulation
10. remove or obscure any attribution, notice or disclaimer we require
11. use the Data in a way that suggests we, or any bookmaker, endorse you or Your Application

We may monitor usage to check compliance with these Terms. If we ask, you must give us reasonable information about how you use the Data.

11. Bookmaker-specific terms, attribution and trademarks

11.1 We may require attribution, such as "Odds data by OddsAPI.dev" or a bookmaker credit, when you display Data. We may also impose additional restrictions on Data relating to particular bookmakers, markets or competitions, or withdraw such Data. We will tell you about these through the documentation, the dashboard or by email, and you must follow them.

11.2 You must not use any bookmaker's name, logo or trademark in a way that implies a partnership, sponsorship or endorsement. You are responsible for getting any permission you need to display a third party's trademarks in Your Application.

11.3 You are solely responsible for complying with the terms of any bookmaker or exchange you use. We are not responsible for any action a bookmaker takes against you, such as limiting, restricting or closing your betting account, voiding bets, or refusing to pay out.

12. Gambling law and responsible gambling

12.1 Gambling laws differ between countries and change often. You are solely responsible for making sure that your use of the Data, and Your Application, comply with all laws that apply to you and your End Users. This includes gambling, licensing, gambling advertising and marketing rules, consumer protection, and data protection laws.

12.2 If Your Application shows odds or promotes betting to End Users, you are responsible for any age verification, geographic restrictions, licences and responsible gambling messages that apply. An example of such a message is "18+ | Please gamble responsibly".

12.3 If you bet, please do so responsibly. Only bet what you can afford to lose. If gambling is causing you harm, contact a local support service, such as BeGambleAware (UK) or the National Council on Problem Gambling (US).

13. Data accuracy, availability and changes

13.1 Odds change constantly. The Data may be inaccurate, delayed, incomplete, out of date or unavailable, and this is especially true of in-play Data. Odds shown through the Service may differ from those a bookmaker is offering at any given moment. Always check odds directly with the bookmaker before placing any bet.

13.2 We may add, change, suspend or remove any bookmaker, market, competition, sport, endpoint, field or coverage at any time, with or without notice. This includes cases where the cause is outside our control.

13.3 We may change the API, including response formats and endpoints. We will try to give reasonable notice of breaking changes to paid customers. However, we may make changes without notice where we need to for security, legal or operational reasons, or for reasons outside our control.

13.4 We may discontinue the Service entirely. If we do, we will try to give paid customers at least 30 days' notice, and we will not charge for billing periods after the Service ends.

13.5 We do not offer any uptime commitment or service level agreement (SLA) unless we have agreed one with you in a separate signed agreement.

14. No warranties

14.1 The Service and the Data are provided "as is" and "as available". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, conditions and representations, whether express, implied or statutory. These include warranties of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability, availability, merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

14.2 We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of errors, delays or harmful components, or that it will meet your requirements.

14.3 You must not rely on the Data as the sole basis for any betting, trading, financial or other decision where an error or delay could cause you or others a loss. You use the Data at your own risk.

15. Limitation of liability

15.1 Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, and liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

15.2 Subject to section 15.1, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable to you for any of the following, however they arise (including through negligence) and even if we were told they were possible:

• indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive loss
• loss of profit, revenue, business, contracts, goodwill or anticipated savings
• betting or trading losses, stakes, lost or missed winnings, voided or unsettled bets, or losses arising from any bookmaker's actions
• loss or corruption of data, or the cost of buying replacement goods, services or data
• losses caused by errors, delays, omissions or interruptions in the Data or the Service

15.3 Subject to section 15.1, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms and the Service, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, will not exceed the greater of (a) the fees you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US$100.

15.4 These limits reflect the price of the Service and are a fair allocation of risk between us.

16. Indemnity

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our and their officers, employees and contractors against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, fines, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) that arise from any of the following:

• your use of the Service or the Data
• Your Application, and your End Users' use of it
• any betting or trading activity by you or your End Users
• your breach of these Terms or of any law
• your infringement of any third party's rights, including the rights of any bookmaker

If you are a consumer, this section applies only to the extent the law allows.

17. Suspension and termination

17.1 We may suspend or restrict your access, revoke API Keys, or terminate your account, immediately and without notice, if we reasonably believe that any of the following applies:

• you have breached these Terms, including section 10
• you have not paid amounts you owe
• your use poses a security, legal or operational risk, or could harm us, other customers or third parties
• we are required to by law, by a regulator, or by a court order

17.2 If we terminate for convenience and not for your breach, we will give you reasonable notice, and we will refund any prepaid fees for the unused part of the current billing period.

17.3 You can stop using the Service at any time. To delete your account, contact support@oddsapi.dev.

17.4 When your account ends, your licence to the Data ends and your API Keys stop working. Within 30 days, you must delete all raw Data you have cached or stored. You may keep Data that is already incorporated into your own analysis, models or derived outputs in a form that cannot reasonably be extracted, but only for your own internal use.

17.5 Sections 8.5, 10, 11.3 and 12 to 25, and any other terms that by their nature should continue, survive termination.

18. Intellectual property and feedback

18.1 We own the Service, our software, documentation, branding and the OddsAPI.dev name and logo, together with all related rights. You may not use our name or logo without our permission, except to say accurately that Your Application uses OddsAPI.dev.

18.2 If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them freely and without any obligation to you.

19. Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party services, such as hosting, payment, authentication and email providers. We are not responsible for any third-party service, website or content that is not under our control.

20. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy describes how we process personal data. You must not send us personal data through the API that we have not asked for.

21. Export controls and sanctions

You confirm that you are not located in, or ordinarily resident in, a country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions, and that you are not named on, or owned or controlled by anyone named on, any applicable sanctions list. This includes the lists maintained by the UK, the EU, the UN and the US. You must not use the Service in breach of any export control or sanctions law. We may suspend access immediately if we need to comply with these laws.

22. Force majeure

We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events outside our reasonable control. These include acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, epidemics, government action, labour disputes, power or internet failures, cyberattacks, and failures of hosting, network or other service providers.

23. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will give at least 14 days' notice by email or in the dashboard. Changes needed for legal, regulatory or security reasons may take effect sooner. If you keep using the Service after changes take effect, you accept them. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and cancel your subscription.

24. Governing law and disputes

24.1 If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of any mandatory laws of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts where you live.

24.2 Before starting formal proceedings, you agree to contact support@oddsapi.dev and try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

24.3 To the extent permitted by law, claims may be brought only on an individual basis, not as part of a class, group or representative action.

25. General

25.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any plan or bookmaker-specific terms we publish together form the entire agreement between you and us. They replace any earlier agreements or understandings about the Service. Any terms you send us, such as purchase order terms, do not apply.

25.2 Severability. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent needed, and the rest of these Terms will remain in force.

25.3 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations without our written consent. We may assign or transfer ours, including as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.

25.4 No third-party beneficiaries. No one other than you and us has any right to enforce these Terms. This includes the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 and any equivalent law.

25.5 No waiver. If we fail to enforce, or delay enforcing, any right, we have not waived it.

25.6 Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship.

25.7 Notices. We may send notices to the email address on your account or show them in the dashboard. You may send notices to support@oddsapi.dev.

25.8 Language. If these Terms are translated, the English version prevails.
