These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of ebag.basketball, including all public pages, reports, articles, graphics, downloads and other materials made available by European Basketball Advisory Group (“EBAG”, “we”, “us” or “our”). By accessing or using the website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the website. These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. Purpose of the Website
EBAG publishes independent research, analysis, perspectives and selected resources concerning European basketball and related areas of sport, governance, finance, strategy and development. Website content is provided for general information, research and discussion purposes only. It is not legal, financial, investment, tax, accounting, regulatory, medical or other professional advice, and it must not be relied upon as a substitute for advice tailored to your circumstances. Any decision made on the basis of website material is your sole responsibility.
2. Accuracy, Availability and No Warranty
We aim to present information that is thoughtful, accurate and current at the time of publication. However, the sporting, commercial, regulatory and economic environment may change quickly, and content may become incomplete or outdated. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the website and all materials are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties, representations or conditions of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory. EBAG does not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, free of harmful components, or available at any particular time, or that all content is complete, current or suitable for a particular purpose.
3. Intellectual Property and Permitted Use
Unless expressly stated otherwise, the website, its design, text, research, reports, articles, graphics, logos, trademarks, databases and other materials are owned by or licensed to EBAG and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may access the website for lawful personal, academic, editorial or internal non-commercial use. You may share a link to an EBAG page and may cite a short extract with clear attribution to EBAG and a link to the original source, provided the use does not misrepresent the material, imply endorsement, remove notices or harm EBAG’s reputation. Downloading a public document does not transfer any intellectual-property right to you.
4. Restrictions
Except where mandatory law permits otherwise or EBAG has given prior written permission, you must not reproduce, republish, translate, adapt, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, sell, license, commercially exploit, systematically scrape, mine, harvest, mirror, frame or store substantial portions of the website or its content. You must not remove copyright, trademark or attribution notices; use EBAG materials in a misleading or defamatory context; imply that EBAG endorses a person, organisation, product or service; interfere with the website or its security; attempt unauthorised access to any system, account or data; introduce malicious code; or use automated means in a manner that imposes an unreasonable burden on the website. Written permission requests may be sent to info@ebag.basketball.
5. User Communications
If you submit a message, enquiry, feedback or other material through the website, you remain responsible for its accuracy, legality and content. You must not submit unlawful, abusive, threatening, defamatory, misleading, infringing, confidential third-party or otherwise inappropriate material. Submitting an enquiry does not create an advisory, fiduciary, employment, partnership, agency or contractual relationship with EBAG. We may use and retain communications as necessary to respond, administer the website, protect our rights and comply with applicable law, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
6. Third-Party Content and Links
The website may refer to, quote, link to or make available materials from third parties. Such references are provided for convenience and context only. EBAG does not control, endorse, guarantee or assume responsibility for third-party websites, services, views, materials, availability, accuracy or privacy practices. Your use of third-party resources is governed by their own terms and policies and is undertaken at your own risk.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, EBAG and its contributors, representatives, partners and service providers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive loss or damage; loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, opportunity or business; or any loss arising out of or connected with your access to, inability to access, or use of the website or its materials, even if advised of the possibility of such loss. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation where applicable.
8. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless EBAG and its contributors, representatives, partners and service providers from claims, liabilities, damages, losses and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these Terms, unlawful use of the website, infringement of another person’s rights, or content you submit. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results directly from EBAG’s own unlawful conduct.
9. Privacy and Electronic Communications
Your use of the website is also subject to the Privacy Policy. Where you submit a contact form or subscribe to a newsletter, you agree that EBAG may communicate with you electronically for the purpose relevant to your request or subscription. Newsletter recipients may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism included in the relevant email or by contacting EBAG directly.
10. Suspension and Changes
We may modify, suspend, restrict or discontinue any part of the website or its materials at any time without notice where reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, legal compliance, operational reasons or otherwise. We may revise these Terms from time to time. The current version will be published on this page with an updated revision date, and continued use of the website after publication constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.
11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising from or connected with them are governed by the laws applicable to EBAG’s principal place of administration, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer-protection law provides otherwise. Courts with jurisdiction over that place shall have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or the website, subject to any mandatory rights you may have under applicable law.
12. General Provisions
If any provision of these Terms is found unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. A failure by EBAG to enforce a right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and EBAG concerning use of the website, except for any separate written agreement expressly entered into with EBAG.
