Terms of Service
Version 1 — Last updated: 2026-09-07
Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the SockOdds API or related services. By creating a key or using the SockOdds API and related services and data, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the service.
SockOdds ("SockOdds", "Provider", "we" or "us") provides a sports odds data application programming interface and related software tools ("API") under the brand SockOdds ("Service"). The Service includes sports event information, betting odds, results, status and other information ("Data"). We strive to provide accurate, up-to-date data and a reliable platform; however, all Data and services are provided "as is" and "as available" without any guarantee of accuracy, availability or completeness.
Eligibility
Legal age
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service.
Authority and capacity
If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" refers to that entity. You represent that you are not barred from using the Service under any applicable law.
Accurate information
You agree to provide true, current and complete information when requesting a key and to keep it updated. You are responsible for keeping your API key confidential and for all activity under it. Notify us immediately if you believe a key has been compromised.
One account
You may hold one account per individual or entity unless we expressly permit otherwise. Self-service key creation is limited per address per hour to prevent abuse.
Sanctions and prohibited jurisdictions
You represent that you are not located in, or a national of, a country subject to Australian autonomous sanctions or United Nations Security Council sanctions, and that you are not a designated person or entity under those regimes.
Licence
Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence during your subscription term to access and use the Service. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
Restrictions
No resale or redistribution
You will not:
- sell, resell, sublicense, scrape, lease, rent, loan or distribute the Service or Data as a standalone offering, data product or data feed;
- use the Service on a service-bureau or time-sharing basis for third parties;
- create or attempt to create a substitute or similar service using the Service or Data;
- train, fine-tune or otherwise improve machine-learning models that replicate or compete with the Service;
- make the Service or Data available to third parties except to end users of applications that provide material value independent of the Service;
- redistribute Data through data dumps, database access, downloadable files, bulk exports, RSS feeds or similar mechanisms;
- white-label or rebrand the Service or Data for third-party use; or
- aggregate Data with third-party data for resale or redistribution.
No reverse engineering or derivative works
You will not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or attempt to discover the source code, algorithms or underlying structure of the Service, nor modify, adapt or create derivative works based on the Service or Data.
No misuse or harmful conduct
You will not use the Service in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden or impair it or interfere with anyone else's use. You will not introduce malicious code, send requests beyond permitted limits, or attempt to bypass security, authentication or metering.
No unauthorised access
You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, its systems, networks or data, or conduct penetration testing or vulnerability scanning without our express written consent.
Public benchmarking
You will not publish benchmarks or performance tests of the Service without our prior written consent.
Compliance with third-party rights
You will not use the Service to transmit or store content that infringes third-party intellectual property or privacy rights, and you will not remove or obscure any copyright, trademark or proprietary notices in the Data or the Service. Bookmaker names and marks in the Data belong to their owners and are used for identification only.
Legal compliance
You agree to use the Service and Data only in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and industry standards, including the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth) and state and territory wagering and advertising rules that may apply to your product. SockOdds is not a wagering operator, does not accept bets, does not hold funds and does not provide financial or betting advice. You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of the Data is lawful in your jurisdiction and for your use case.
API keys
On signup you are issued an API key unique to you. Only a hash of the key is stored; a lost key cannot be recovered and must be re-issued. Keep it secure, do not share it, and do not embed it in client-side code or public repositories. You are responsible for all use under your key. We may require you to rotate a key and will inform you where practicable.
Rate and access limits
All use of the Service is subject to rate limits, usage quotas and access limits that vary by plan and are enforced by the Service. A request rejected for exceeding a limit still counts toward that limit but is never billed. A response filtered by your plan carries a notice saying so. You may not attempt to exceed or circumvent limits. We may throttle, suspend or revoke access (with or without notice) if we believe you are breaching these Terms, circumventing limits or harming the Service, and we may modify limits with or without notice; significant changes are communicated to existing subscribers by email.
Monitoring
We may monitor and collect usage data (request volume, endpoints called, response codes, latency, client addresses) and use it to operate, secure, bill and improve the Service and to verify compliance with these Terms. We may use and share aggregated or de-identified usage data that does not identify you or your users.
Acknowledgment of data limitations
We do not warrant or commit to any specific level of data accuracy, completeness or timeliness. References on this site to update cadence, coverage, latency or uptime are estimates, not warranties or service-level commitments. Data may contain errors, omissions or delays, and prices move; a bookmaker's price is only the price you are offered on the bookmaker's own site. Data must not be used as the sole basis for any purpose where inaccurate, delayed or missing data could result in financial loss. We have no liability for decisions, bets, trades or losses resulting from your or your end users' reliance on the Data.
Payments
Payment information
Paid plans are invoiced monthly or annually in Australian dollars. You agree to pay all applicable fees for your plan, plus GST where applicable, and to keep payment information current. Third-party processors handle transactions.
Recurring charges
Paid subscriptions renew for the same term at the then-current rate until cancelled. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current term; partial periods are not prorated or refunded except where required by law.
Refunds
Payments are non-refundable except as required by the Australian Consumer Law or expressly permitted here. A free tier is provided so you can evaluate the Service before committing.
Fee changes
Fees may change. Existing subscribers receive at least 28 days' notice before new prices take effect; continued use after that date is acceptance.
Late payments
Overdue amounts may accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum lawful rate, and we may suspend the Service for amounts more than 7 days overdue after notice.
Taxes
Fees exclude taxes unless stated. You are responsible for taxes associated with your subscription other than taxes on our income.
Upgrades and downgrades
Plan changes take effect from the next billing period unless agreed otherwise; we are not obliged to prorate, refund or credit on a change.
Trial abuse
The free tier is for genuine evaluation and small projects. We may limit or terminate accounts that obtain repeated free access through multiple identities or addresses.
Intellectual property
Our IP
All rights in the Service, API, Data and the software, databases, algorithms, designs and content used in or generated by the Service remain the exclusive property of the Provider and its licensors. "SockOdds" and our logos are our marks. You may state factually that your application uses the SockOdds API ("powered by SockOdds") provided it is truthful and not misleading.
Your IP
You retain all rights in content, code and data you independently develop that does not include or derive from our Data. Any reuse of our Data within your work remains subject to these Terms.
Third-party IP
Bookmaker, league, team and competition names that appear in the Data are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only. SportsGameOdds is a trademark of its owner; SockOdds is an independent, schema-compatible service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by SportsGameOdds unless stated otherwise in writing.
Feedback
If you provide suggestions or feedback about the Service, we may use and incorporate it without obligation to you.
Reservation of rights
Except for the limited rights expressly granted, these Terms grant you no rights in our intellectual property.
Modifications
We may modify, suspend or discontinue the Service in whole or part at any time. Where a change materially alters an endpoint we will make commercially reasonable efforts to give at least 30 days' notice and a deprecation period, except where security, legal or performance reasons require otherwise.
Termination
Termination by you
You may end your subscription or account at any time by contacting us; keys are deactivated on termination.
Suspension or termination by the Provider
We may suspend or terminate your access with or without notice for breach of these Terms, misuse, to prevent harm or legal liability, or if we cease to offer the Service. Termination for breach carries no refund; termination without cause of a pre-paid period is refunded pro rata.
Effect of termination
On termination the licence ends immediately. You must stop using the Service and, within 30 days, delete Data obtained from it from your systems, caches and backups, except where retention is required by law.
Warranty disclaimer
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service and Data are provided "as is" and "as available" and we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability and security. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded; where a guarantee applies and can be limited, our liability is limited to re-supplying the Service or paying the cost of re-supply.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, or loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising out of or relating to the Service or Data, including any bet, trade or decision made in reliance on the Data. Our total aggregate liability for all claims is limited to the fees you paid us in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or A$100 if you have paid nothing. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Provider and its officers, employees and agents from any third-party claim, loss, damage, fine or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service or Data, your product, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of law or third-party rights.
Force majeure
Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform (other than payment obligations) caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, civil unrest, government action, power or internet failures, bookmaker or source outages, or malicious attacks.
Governing law & venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Subject to any non-waivable consumer rights in your place of residence, the courts of Victoria and the Federal Court of Australia have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.
Dispute resolution
Before commencing proceedings, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute by negotiation for 30 days from written notice. Nothing prevents either party seeking urgent injunctive relief.
Class action waiver
To the extent permitted by law, disputes must be brought individually and not as a class, collective or representative proceeding.
Privacy policy
Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use and safeguard personal information and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
Electronic communications
We may provide notices by email to your account email or by posting on this site, and you consent to receive communications electronically.
Assignment
You may not assign these Terms without our written consent, except to an affiliate or a successor in a merger or sale of substantially all assets, with prompt notice to us. We may assign these Terms without consent.
Enforceability
If any provision is unenforceable the remainder remains in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and the Provider regarding the Service.
Changes to these Terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time. Material changes are posted at sockodds.com/terms with a new version and date and take effect no sooner than 30 days after posting unless required sooner by law or for security or compliance. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance.
