BetFair:

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Software Vendor Special Terms: [e.g. waivers of prohibitions, consents, rights to use trade marks subject to guidelines, added warranties and/or indemnities and variations to the standard terms generally]

(1) Subject to the due performance of his/her/its obligations under this Agreement the definition of &#8220-Commercialise&#8221- is hereby amended so that it means &#8220-sell, rent, lease, or license all or any part of the Betfair API&#8221-, the restrictions set out in clauses 2.3 (e), (f), and (g) and the words &#8220-disclose or otherwise provide&#8221- in 2.3 (b) shall be deemed to be deleted SUBJECT ALWAYS to the User&#8217-s compliance with one of the following conditions (the &#8220-Waiver&#8221-)

CONDITION 1: The User agrees that any usage of the Betfair API shall be solely in connection with bets that use the systems and servers of Betfair- OR

CONDITION 2: The User has all necessary licences as may be required to make use of any third party data that may be incorporated into the Betfair API from the relevant third parties.

AND the User hereby indemnifies and holds Betfair harmless in relation to any liability Betfair may incur as a result of the User&#8217-s non compliance with the above conditions.

(2) The User shall, solely in connection with and pursuant to the Waiver, be empowered to grant users of its freeware, shareware or commercial software applications with the right to use the same notwithstanding clause 2.3(i).

(3) The User will ensure that any freeware, shareware or commercial software applications that it provides to third parties for use in connection with the API shall, as well as general exclusions of liability, incorporate a specific disclaimer that must be accepted as part of the terms of installation as follows:

DISCLAIMER

[INSERT NAME OF RELEVANT SOFTWARE] and our organisation is in no way connected to, warranted or endorsed by The Sporting Exchange Limited (&#8221-Betfair&#8221-) and by installing the [INSERT NAME OF RELEVANT SOFTWARE] you acknowledge and agree that Betfair can in no way be liable nor owe you any duty to support or otherwise take any steps whatsoever in relation to [INSERT NAME OF RELEVANT SOFTWARE]

(4) The User shall not provide any freeware, shareware or commercial software applications to any third party without first ensuring that such third party has entered into a licence for the use of the API with Betfair.

(5) The User will ensure that it includes a Vendor ID Code (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) in all software that it provides to third parties that will be identifiable to Betfair when such third parties use the relevant software to access the Betfair API.

(6) The User will not make its software available to third parties until it has the Vendor ID Code and once it does it will ensure that it is used at all times in conjunction with each individual software application.

(7) The User shall not provide software for on-course Bookmakers without prior consent from Betfair.

(8) Any User with products being used by Betfair customers shall not provide those products to any other betting exchange or betting company on an exclusive basis such that Betfair customers can no longer access those products. For the purposes of the restriction set out in this clause functionality such as unmatched bets, lay bets, or any sort of person to person betting platform are included in the definition of &#8220-betting exchange&#8221-, and functionality allowing someone to place a bet is included in the definition of &#8220-betting company&#8221-.

(9) If you are publishing Betfair prices, or data derived from Betfair prices, you need to clearly state that the prices are Betfair.com prices. You also need to clearly link to the Betfair.com homepage or if you are publishing prices relating to a specific market to that particular market on Betfair.com. It should be as easy as possible for anyone interested in betting at that price to click through to Betfair.com, open an account if wish to, and place that bet on Betfair.com. There will of course be circumstances where this Term does not apply, such as a bookmaker deriving prices from Betfair and publish prices under his own brand. However, in order for us to waive this term, you need specific consent in writing from Betfair. In any event, you shall not build any system that allows anybody to publish aggregated data from both Betfair and any other bookmaker, betting exchange or counterparty of any sort, or place bets on an aggregated price or amount of money derived from both Betfair and any other bookmaker, betting exchange or counterparty of any sort.

(10) Advertising:

a. The only Betfair reference permitted in publicising applications is &#8216-for use in connection with Betfair, working through their API&#8217-. Use of Betfair logos or other references is not permitted without consent.

b. Advertising must not leave the prospective buyer with the impression that the Betfair API somehow provides faster access to Betfair data than www.betfair.com. This is not the case. If the vendor wishes to talk about the speed of his service, it must be explicit that speed differences are as a result of the usability of the application.

c. Advertising must be in a form that is not prejudicial to Betfair in Betfair&#8217-s reasonable opinion.

(11) Exchange Data

a. For the purpose of this clause 11(a) above:

&#8220-Exchange Data&#8221- means the publicly available pricing and volume data freely available on the Betfair Exchange or via the Betfair API- and

&#8220-Purpose&#8221- means making available the Exchange Data to users of the Betfair Exchange in whatever form and format is agreed in advance with Betfair-

Subject to prior written consent, Betfair hereby grants the User a non-exclusive, non-transferable, terminable licence to use the Exchange Data for the Purpose provided always that the User fulfils the conditions set out in clause 11(b) of these Variable Terms.

b. As a condition of it enjoying the benefit of the licence granted in clause 11(a) above (the &#8220-Licence&#8221-), the User must fulfil the following conditions and to the extent it does not, the Licence shall be automatically revoked:

(i) the Exchange Data may only be made available to users of the Betfair Exchange who have a registered and funded account. &#8216-Funded&#8217- means that the user has made at least one deposit into his account. It shall be the User&#8217-s responsibility to verify the potential recipients of the Exchange Data are registered and funded users of the Betfair Exchange prior to making the Exchange Data available to them. The User can do this by validating the potential recipient&#8217-s Betfair account details using Betfair&#8217-s web services. The validation process will also enable Betfair to create a record that this user has access to the Exchange Data provided by the User. Betfair reserves the right to amend this condition such that additional requirements will need to be met by any proposed recipient of the Exchange Data. Any such amendments will be notified to the User and will take immediate effect.

(ii) the User will, when requested by Betfair, provide Betfair with a record of all recipients of the Exchange Data such that Betfair is able to readily identify which of its users are accessing Exchange Data via the User-

(iii) the User will, upon request, permit Betfair reasonable rights of access to its systems to enable Betfair to determine whether the User if fulfilling the conditions set out in clauses 11(b)(i) and 11(b)(ii) above.

d. The limitation and exclusions of liability contained in clause 9 of this Agreement shall be deemed to apply to Betfair&#8217-s provision and licence of the Exchange Data to the User.

e. The restrictions contained in clause 2.3 of this Agreement shall be amended but only insofar as to give effect to this clause 11 of these Variable Terms.

2.4 By entering into this Agreement the User hereby agrees to the Betfair Terms and Conditions.
