Terms of Services
FIBA Global Data & API Platform (GDAP) is an information system providing access to accurate, up to date & fast FIBA data.
By using the FIBA GDAP Application Programming Interface (“FIBA GDAP APIs”), you accept these Terms of Service (“the Terms”) and expressly agree that they will govern your relationship with us.
1. Registration
In order to access the FIBA GDAP APIs, you shall be required to provide certain information (such as, but not limited to, identification and contact details) as part of the registration process, or as part of your continued use. It is your responsibility that all registered information will always be accurate and up to date.
If you are using the FIBA GDAP APIs on behalf of a third party, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that third party to the Terms and by accepting the Terms, you are doing so on behalf of that third party (all references to "you" in the Terms also refer to that third party).
Developer credentials (such as username, email, password, key and client ID for example) are intended to be used solely by you to identify your API Client and shall not be transmitted. You will keep your credentials confidential and make reasonable efforts to prevent and discourage other API Clients from using your credentials.
2. License
FIBA hereby grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, limited license to use the FIBA GDAP APIs solely in accordance with the present Terms. Your license to use the FIBA GDAP APIs is granted subject to your agreement with the Terms.
Your license is automatically revoked if: (i) you violate any provision of the Terms, (ii) we send a written notice of termination to you, or (iii) we disable your use of the FIBA GDAP APIs.
3. Purpose
The FIBA GDAP APIs are designed to help you enhance your websites and applications ("API Client(s)") within the scope of your existing business contract with FIBA or upon the express authorization from FIBA. For the sake of clarity, the Basketball Federations, the organizers of FIBA competitions, the organizations participating in FIBA competitions or the FIBA business partners shall be authorized to use the FIBA GDAP APIs in accordance with the provisions contained in the present Terms (“Authorized Users”).
Any other or broader use or any use by third parties other than Authorized Users is not authorised. For business inquiries, please contact gdap@fiba.basketball.
YOU AGREE THAT FIBA MAY MONITOR USE OF THE FIBA GDAP APIs TO ENSURE QUALITY, IMPROVE FIBA SERVICES AND VERIFY YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS. This monitoring may include FIBA accessing and using your FIBA GDAP API Client, for example to identify security issues that could affect FIBA or its users. You will not interfere with this monitoring. FIBA may use any technical means to overcome such interference. FIBA may suspend access to the FIBA GDAP APIs by you or your FIBA GDAP API Client without notice if we reasonably believe that you are in violation of the Terms.

In no event shall FIBA be held liable for any special damages, including but not limited to costs of procurement of substitute goods or services or any special, indirect, incidental, exemplary, or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost profits, loss of goodwill, business interruption, or loss of information, of any party, including third parties, regardless of whether such party was advised of the possibility of the foregoing.

15. Final Provisions
The Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and FIBA in relation to their subject matter, i.e. with respect to your use of and/or access to the FIBA GDAP APIs, superseding and extinguishing any prior agreements, arrangements, undertakings of any nature, between you and FIBA, whether oral or written in relation to this subject matter.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Swiss law without regard to its conflict of law rules.
Any disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or in relation to this contract, including the validity, invalidity, breach or termination thereof, shall be submitted exclusively to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and resolved definitively in accordance with the Code of sports-related arbitration. The arbitration shall be governed by Chapter 12 of the Swiss Act on Private International Law (irrespective of the parties’ domicile) and its seat shall be in Lausanne, Switzerland. The language of the arbitration will be English. You shall not and you hereby waive your right to institute any claim, arbitration or litigation, or seek any other form of relief, including provisional measures, in any other court or tribunal.
Should any provision of the Terms be found to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or operation of any other provision. In such case, the parties are obliged to substitute for the invalid or unenforceable provision a valid and enforceable provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid or unenforceable provision.
The Terms are non-exclusive. FIBA may develop products or services that may compete with the API Clients or any other products or services.
FIBA reserves the right to amend the Terms at any time without prior notice.
16. Data Scope
