4. Ownership of SponsorGap Data and Database Rights

All SponsorGap Data, including its selection, structure, organization, classification, tagging, and compilation, is owned by SponsorGap and protected by copyright, database rights (Directive 96/9/EC), and other intellectual property laws.

SponsorGap invests substantial resources in collecting, verifying, and maintaining this database. You acquire no ownership rights in SponsorGap Data by using the Service.

You are permitted to use SponsorGap Data for the following purposes:

  • Use the data for your own business operations, market research, and strategic planning
  • Contact sponsors or creators listed in the database for legitimate partnership opportunities
  • Analyze market trends, sponsor behavior, and advertising patterns for internal insights
  • Build internal marketing and sales strategies based on the data
  • Export limited amounts of data for internal use within your organization

All permitted uses are limited to internal, non-commercial exploitation of the data. You may use the data to inform your business decisions, but you may not resell, redistribute, or use it to create a competing product.

SponsorGap may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, including suspected scraping, redistribution, or competitive use.

10. Enforcement and Monitoring

11. Injunctive Relief

Unauthorized use, copying, redistribution, or competitive exploitation of SponsorGap Data may cause irreparable harm. SponsorGap is entitled to seek injunctive relief, damages, and recovery of legal costs.
