2. Nature of the Service

2.1 Digital Information Service

The Service is a paid digital information service that provides access to sports-related data through an API. The Service is classified as an electronically supplied service within the meaning of EU VAT Directive 2006/112/EC and equivalent legislation in other jurisdictions. The Service is delivered entirely over the internet, is essentially automated, and involves minimal human intervention.

2.2 Data Sources and Accuracy

The data provided through the Service is ingested from various partners and official developer sources, including but not limited to publicly available developer APIs (e.g., YouTube Data API and similar platform-provided interfaces), data partners, and other authorized data feeds. The data includes factual information such as match results, player statistics, fixture schedules, league standings, and similar sports-related data points. The Company does not claim exclusive ownership over factual data delivered through the API.

The data is provided on an "as is" basis. It is sourced automatically from multiple feeds and may also involve manual processing. As a result, it may contain errors, omissions, delays, or inaccuracies. The Company makes reasonable efforts to maintain data quality but does not guarantee the completeness, accuracy, timeliness, or reliability of any data delivered through the Service. Information concerning the frequency of data updates provided in Our documentation is given as an indication and is not guaranteed; update frequency may vary according to the sport, competition, data partner, or data source availability.

2.3 No Service Level Agreements

The Company does not offer any Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Uptime percentages, response times, or data freshness metrics referenced in marketing materials or documentation are provided as historical observations or best-effort targets only, and do not constitute binding commitments or guarantees of future performance. The Company shall not be liable for any downtime, latency, data delays, or service interruptions regardless of cause or duration.

2.4 No Licensing of Data

The Company does not provide a license for the use, publication, or redistribution of data delivered through the Service. The data is made available for Your use through the API under these Terms, but no proprietary license, sublicense, or exclusive right is granted. Any license or permission required to publish, display, or redistribute specific data in Your applications, websites, or products must be obtained by You from the relevant competent authorities or rights holders.

2.5 Not a Gambling or Betting Service

Where the API provides odds data or momentum indicators (which may be labeled as "predictions" in the API for convenience), these are presented as purely statistical and informational data points derived from publicly available sources. Specifically:

• Odds data is obtained from multiple providers and represents third-party pricing information. The Company does not generate, calculate, or set odds;
• Momentum data (labeled as "predictions" in the API) represents a statistical calculation of recent team or player performance trends — comparable to a form indicator or rolling average. It reflects historical and current momentum only and is not a forecast, tip, or recommendation of any future match outcome.

The Company does not:

• Record, track, or determine which odds or momentum values were correct or "winning";
• Provide recommendations or advice on placing bets or wagers;
• Guarantee or imply that any statistical data, including momentum indicators, will predict future outcomes;
• Operate any system for settling bets or distributing prizes;
• Act as an intermediary between bettors and bookmakers.

Both odds and momentum data delivered through the API are descriptive statistical information comparable to any other factual data point such as a match score or player statistic. Bookmaker references within the API identify publicly available data sources and do not constitute partnerships, endorsements, or affiliations with any betting operator.

3. Acceptance of Terms

3.1 Agreement

Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on Your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service. By accessing or using the Service, You agree to be bound by these Terms. If You disagree with any part of these Terms, You may not access the Service.

3.2 Age Requirement

You represent that You are over the age of 18, or the age of legal majority in Your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. The Company does not permit those under 18 to use the Service.

3.3 Privacy

Your use of the Service is also conditioned on Your acceptance of Our Privacy Policy. Please read Our Privacy Policy carefully before using the Service.

---

4. Plans and Payment

4.1 Payment Model

Access to the API is provided through one-time plan purchases. Each plan has defined usage limits (such as daily API call quotas) and a defined access period as specified on the plan page. Prices are based on the plan selected. It is Your responsibility to read and understand a plan's limits and access period before purchasing. The "free" or "Basic" plan provides limited access and is not subject to the same terms as paid plans.

4.2 Quota and Rate Limits

Each plan has a defined daily usage quota and per-minute rate limits. Once the daily quota is reached, the API blocks access until the next quota reset. If the per-minute rate limit is exceeded, requests are temporarily throttled until the sliding window resets. For plans purchased directly through the Highlightly website, the daily quota resets at midnight UTC. For plans purchased through third-party platforms (such as RapidAPI), the quota reset schedule is determined by that platform and may differ. It is Your responsibility to monitor Your usage through the applicable dashboard. If You require higher limits, You may purchase a higher-tier plan.

4.3 Plan Changes

To change Your plan, You must purchase a new plan. Purchasing a new plan does not entitle You to a refund for any previously purchased plan.

4.4 Pricing Updates

We may occasionally update our pricing plans. Your purchased plan remains valid under the terms and pricing at which it was purchased.

4.5 Third-Party Platforms

The Service is also available through third-party platforms, including but not limited to RapidAPI. When You purchase access to the API through a third-party platform:

• The third-party platform's own terms of service, refund policy, cancellation policy, and payment terms apply to all billing and payment matters;
• These Terms continue to govern Your use of the API, the data, intellectual property, prohibited uses, disclaimers, and limitations of liability;
• Any refund, dispute, or billing inquiry must be directed to the third-party platform through which You purchased access, not to the Company;
• The Company is not responsible for the billing practices, refund decisions, or account management of any third-party platform.

In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the terms of a third-party platform, these Terms prevail with respect to the use of the API and data, while the third-party platform's terms prevail with respect to billing and payment.

---

5. Refund Policy

5.1 General Refund Policy

For plans purchased directly through the Highlightly website, the following refund conditions apply:

• Unused API access: If You have not made any API calls or consumed any data within 14 days of purchasing a plan, You may request a full refund by contacting Us at the email address provided in Section 19;
• Within 24 hours: If You request a refund within 24 hours of purchase and provide a justifiable reason, the Company will review Your request and may issue a full refund at its discretion;
• After 24 hours: Once 24 hours have passed since purchase and the API has been accessed, refunds are generally not available.

The following are not eligible for refunds:

• Charges resulting from plan upgrades or additional purchases;
• Requests based on incorrect, missing, delayed, or inaccurate data, given the nature of automated data aggregation described in Section 2.2;
• Requests based on service downtime or interruptions, as described in Section 2.3.

For purchases made through third-party platforms (such as RapidAPI), the refund policy of that platform applies as described in Section 4.5.

5.2 Right of Withdrawal for EU Consumers

However, by purchasing a plan and accessing the API, You acknowledge and expressly agree that:

• The performance of the digital service begins immediately upon purchase;
• You expressly consent to the immediate performance of the contract;
• You acknowledge that You lose Your right of withdrawal once the digital content or service has been accessed or consumed, in accordance with Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU.

A refund under the right of withdrawal is available only if all of the following conditions are met:

• The request is made within 14 calendar days of the purchase date;
• You have not accessed the API, consumed any data, or made any API calls since purchasing;
• You contact Us at the email address provided in Section 19 with Your refund request.

If any API call has been made or any data has been consumed during the 14-day period, the right of withdrawal is considered waived and no refund will be issued.

6. Intellectual Property and Data

6.1 Factual Data

The core data delivered through the API consists of factual information: match results, scores, player statistics, fixture dates, league standings, and similar data points. Under established legal principles, individual facts are not subject to copyright protection. You may use factual data obtained through the Service in Your applications and products, subject to any restrictions described in these Terms.

6.2 No License Granted

The Company does not grant any license, sublicense, or exclusive right over data delivered through the API. Access to data is provided solely under the terms of Your active plan. No proprietary rights are transferred to You through the use of the Service.

6.3 Database Rights

While individual facts are not copyrightable, compilations and databases may be protected under the EU Database Directive (96/9/EC) and equivalent laws. The Company's compilation, arrangement, and presentation of data through the API constitutes a database in which the Company has invested substantial effort. You may not systematically extract or re-utilize the whole or a substantial part of the Company's database without prior written authorization.

6.4 Third-Party Content — Images, Logos, and Trademarks

The API may deliver visual content including but not limited to:

• League logos, emblems, and insignia (e.g., Premier League, NFL, NBA, La Liga);
• Team crests, badges, and club logos;
• Player photographs and headshots;
• Venue or stadium images;
• National team and federation emblems.

All such visual content is and remains the exclusive property of its respective owners. These assets are provided through the API solely as machine-readable reference identifiers to help You associate data records with their corresponding real-world entities. The Company:

• Does not own any of these images, logos, or trademarks;
• Does not grant You any license, right, or permission to use, reproduce, display, publish, distribute, or create derivative works from these assets;
• Does not guarantee that these assets are accurate, current, or free from third-party rights;
• Does not warrant that the use of these assets by You or anyone else is lawful in any jurisdiction;
• Does not indemnify You against any intellectual property claims arising from Your use of these assets.

Before displaying, publishing, or distributing any visual content obtained through the API — whether in a website, mobile application, print material, broadcast, social media, or any other medium — You must independently:

• Verify that Your intended use complies with all applicable intellectual property laws in every jurisdiction where Your product or service is available;
• Obtain any required licenses, permissions, or written authorizations directly from the rights holders (leagues, teams, players, photographers, or their authorized agents);
• Comply with any brand usage guidelines, style guides, or trademark policies published by the relevant organizations;
• Ensure that Your use does not imply any endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation with any league, team, or organization unless You have obtained explicit authorization for such representation.

Many sports leagues and organizations have strict policies governing the use of their marks and actively enforce their intellectual property rights. Unauthorized use may result in legal action by rights holders against You. The Company accepts no liability whatsoever for any claims, demands, damages, costs, fines, or legal proceedings arising from Your use or display of Third-Party Content obtained through the Service.

If You are uncertain whether Your intended use of any visual content requires a license, the Company strongly recommends that You seek independent legal advice or contact the relevant rights holder directly before proceeding.

6.5 No Redistribution of API Access

You may not resell, sublicense, or redistribute direct access to the API itself. You may use data obtained through the API to build applications, products, and services, but You may not create a service that functions as a pass-through or proxy to the Highlightly API.
