Terms of Service

AlgoBall is an independent fantasy basketball analytics service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the National Basketball Association, any NBA team, or any fantasy sports platform, including CBS Sports, ESPN, and Yahoo. Team and player names are used descriptively to identify real people and organizations.

You need an account to use most of AlgoBall. You must provide an email address you control, and you are responsible for what happens under your account, including keeping your password to yourself. Tell us promptly if you believe someone else has access to it.

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may only use AlgoBall with a parent or guardian's involvement.

You can delete your account at any time, and we will delete the data associated with it as described in our Privacy Policy.

AlgoBall works by reading your fantasy league — rosters, settings, and schedule — from the platform where that league lives, using a bookmarklet you run yourself while signed in to that platform. You are the one initiating that import, from your own account, with data you already have access to.

Your use of those platforms remains governed by their own terms of service. You are responsible for ensuring that importing your league data into AlgoBall is permitted by the platform you are importing from. We do not access any fantasy platform on your behalf, and we do not store your credentials for those platforms — we never see them.

Import only leagues you actually participate in or have permission to access. Do not use AlgoBall to collect data about leagues you are not part of.

AlgoBall is currently free. If we introduce paid features in the future, we will tell you before anything you already use starts costing money, and we will not begin charging an existing account without asking first.

You agree not to:

• Use AlgoBall for anything unlawful, or to violate anyone else's rights.
• Attempt to access accounts, leagues, or data that are not yours.
• Scrape, resell, or systematically extract AlgoBall's rankings, projections, or other analysis for redistribution as a competing product.
• Interfere with the service — probing, overloading, or circumventing rate limits and access controls.
• Use AlgoBall to place, broker, or facilitate wagers where doing so is illegal.

We may suspend or close an account that does these things. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will tell you why.

AlgoBall produces projections, rankings, and recommendations. These are estimates generated by statistical models. They are frequently wrong, in the ordinary sense that all forecasts about future sporting events are frequently wrong. Nothing AlgoBall outputs is a guarantee, a promise of a result, or advice about anything with money attached to it.

The service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any data shown is accurate or current.

NBA statistics and schedule data are supplied by third parties. We pass on what we receive and correct what we can, but we do not control it and cannot guarantee it.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AlgoBall and the people who build it will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of the service — including any decision you made in a fantasy league on the basis of something AlgoBall told you.

Because AlgoBall is provided free of charge, our total aggregate liability to you for any claim relating to the service is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages. Where that is the case, the above applies to the fullest extent the law allows, and nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

AlgoBall is under active development. Features will change, and some will be removed. We may also update these terms. If we make a material change, we will give notice — by email to the address on your account, or by a notice in the product — before it takes effect. Continuing to use AlgoBall after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.

You may stop using AlgoBall and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these terms, or discontinue the service entirely. If we shut the service down, we will give reasonable advance notice so you can export or delete your data.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in California. If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
