7. How You May Use Material on Our Site

We are the owner or licensee of all intellectual property rights ("IPRs") in our Site and in the material published on it, including but not limited to real-time odds data, betting lines, point spreads, historical data, algorithms, databases, software, text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, digital downloads, data compilations, and the selection and arrangement thereof. Our odds data feeds, proprietary betting algorithms, and data compilation methodologies constitute valuable trade secrets of DBS. Those works are protected by copyright, trade secret, database, and other intellectual property laws and treaties around the world. All IPRs are reserved.

Remedies for IP Infringement: You acknowledge that any unauthorized use, reproduction, distribution, modification, or exploitation of our IPRs will cause irreparable harm to DBS for which monetary damages would be inadequate. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, DBS shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief to prevent any such unauthorized use, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security. You agree to pay all costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by DBS in enforcing its IPRs against you.

All our trademarks, whether registered or unregistered, belong to us and are part of our IPRs. You are not permitted to use them without our approval, unless they are part of material you are using as permitted under these Terms or any of the additional terms referred to in section 3 above.

Our IPRs constitute confidential information, trade secrets, and/or copyrighted material of DBS and/or OpenBet. You shall not disclose, provide, or otherwise make such information available to any third party. You shall use reasonable security measures to protect such information. Title to IPRs shall remain solely with DBS and/or OpenBet.

You must not modify any paper or digital copies of material you have printed or downloaded in any way, and you must not use any illustration, photograph, video, audio sequence or any graphics separately from any accompanying text. You must not use any part of the content on our Site for commercial purposes without obtaining a license to do so from us or our licensors.

If you print, copy, download, share or repost any part of our Site in breach of these Terms, your rights to use our Site will cease immediately, and you must, at our option, return or destroy any copies of the materials you have made.

8. No Text Data Mining or Web Scraping

You shall not conduct, facilitate, authorize or permit any text or data mining or web scraping in relation to the Site or any services provided via, or in relation to our Site for any purpose, including the development, training, fine-tuning or validation of AI systems or models, except to the extent such restriction cannot lawfully be imposed by contract under applicable law.

Liquidated Damages: You acknowledge that DBS's real-time odds data, betting lines, and proprietary sports betting information constitute valuable trade secrets and confidential information. Unauthorized scraping, mining, or extraction of this data causes substantial harm to DBS that is difficult to quantify. Accordingly, you agree that in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, DBS shall be entitled to liquidated damages of $1,000 USD per instance of unauthorized access, scraping, or data extraction, plus $100 USD per data record extracted, which you acknowledge represents a reasonable estimate of DBS's damages and is not a penalty. You further agree that DBS shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief without the requirement of posting bond, and you shall be liable for all costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees incurred by DBS in enforcing this provision.

This includes using or permitting, authorizing or attempting the use of:

  • Any robot, bot, spider, scraper, or other automated device, program, tool, algorithm, code, process or methodology to access, obtain, copy, monitor or republish any portion of our Site or any data, content, information or services accessed via the same.
  • Any automated analytical technique aimed at analyzing text and data in digital form to generate information or develop, train, fine-tune, or validate AI systems or models which include, but is not limited to, patterns, trends and correlations.

The provision of this clause should be treated as an express reservation of our rights in this regard, including for the purpose of Article 4(3) of the Digital Copyrights Directive (EU) 2019/790. This clause will not apply insofar as (but only to the extent that) we are unable to exclude or limit text or data mining or web scraping activity by contract under the laws which are applicable to us.

Whether you are a consumer or a business user:

Under no circumstances shall we be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or in any way connected with the use of, or inability to use the Site. This limitation applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. In the event some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of damages to the extent indicated above, our liability in such jurisdictions shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

We do not exclude or limit our liability to you in any way where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Different limitations and exclusions of liability will apply to liability arising because of the supply of any products to you, which will be set out in our subscription T&Cs: https://www.donbest.com/information/terms.

If You Are a Business User:

We exclude all implied conditions, warranties, representations or other terms that may apply to our Site or any content on it.

We will not be liable for loss of profits, sales, business, or revenue, business interruption, loss of anticipated savings, loss of business opportunity, goodwill or reputation; or any indirect or consequential loss or damage.

Without limiting the foregoing, DBS shall not be liable for: (i) any losses arising from your betting, wagering, or gambling activities, regardless of whether such activities were undertaken in reliance on information obtained from our Site; (ii) any errors, inaccuracies, or delays in odds, lines, scores, or other data displayed on our Site; (iii) any losses resulting from your inability to access our Site or data feeds during critical betting periods; (iv) any losses resulting from third-party sportsbooks, betting operators, or other services; or (v) any unauthorized access to or alteration of your data or transmissions.

These Terms, and any dispute or claim (including any non-contractual dispute or claim) arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.

If You Are a Consumer User:

You agree not to use our Site for any commercial or business purposes, and we have no liability to you for any loss (except for any loss that may not be excluded, as indicated above).

If defective digital content that we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage that you could have avoided by (i) following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or (ii) for damage that was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.

These Terms, their subject matter and their formation, are governed by English law. We both agree that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction. Except if you are a consumer resident in the European Union, this choice of law does not affect any mandatory statutory rights you have under the laws of your country of residence.

16. General Provisions

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the parties' original intent.

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Notice, Cookies Policy, and any applicable subscription or service agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and DBS regarding the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, whether written or oral.

No Waiver: No failure or delay by DBS in exercising any right, power, or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. DBS's rights and remedies under these Terms are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies available at law or in equity.
