API Terms of Service

These API Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern access to and use of the Hyprace API and the data made available through it.

The Hyprace API is currently made available through RapidAPI.

By subscribing to, accessing, or using the API, you agree to these Terms. If you use the API on behalf of a company or other organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the API.

1. Definitions

For the purposes of these Terms:

"API" means the Hyprace application programming interface, including its endpoints, responses, schemas, documentation, authentication mechanisms, and related technical services.

"Data" means the Formula 1 and motor racing-related information made available through the API, including race results, lap times, schedules, standings, driver and team information, statistics, and other structured information.

"Derived Output" means a statistic, metric, ranking, comparison, analysis, visualisation, prediction, aggregation, or other genuinely analytical or editorial output created from the Data that does not constitute, reproduce, or enable the reconstruction of all or a substantial part of the underlying Data.

An output does not qualify as a Derived Output if, at the time it is created, the API documentation then in effect expressly identifies an endpoint or response field that returns the same statistic, metric, ranking, classification, or other output for the same underlying scope.

In that case, the output remains Data, including where the Subscriber independently reproduces or recalculates it from other Data.

Classification is determined by reference to the API documentation in effect on the date the output is created. The subsequent introduction of a new endpoint, response field, or documented output does not retroactively reclassify as Data a Derived Output that was lawfully created beforehand.

"Derived Dataset" means any structured, systematic, or machine-readable collection of Data or Derived Outputs that, individually or collectively:

• preserves a substantial part of the informational or commercial value of the Data;
• enables reconstruction of all or a substantial part of the Hyprace dataset;
• provides systematic historical coverage that may substitute for continued access to the API; or
• primarily constitutes a reusable data resource rather than an analytical or editorial output.

The characterisation of a collection as a Derived Dataset does not restrict storage, caching, or internal structuring permitted under Section 6 while a Subscription authorising the relevant Data remains active.

"Subscriber", "you", or "your" means the individual or organisation holding the Subscription or otherwise authorised to access the API.

"Subscriber Product" means an application, website, dashboard, internal system, software product, or other service operated or controlled by the Subscriber that uses the API or Data.

"Subscription" means the applicable access plan under which the Subscriber is authorised to use the API, including any applicable quotas, pricing, or plan-specific conditions.

"Third-Party Assets" means, in particular, trademarks, logos, photographs, graphics, copyrighted content, image, publicity, or personality rights, or other protected content owned or controlled by third parties.

2. Purpose and Use of the API

The Hyprace API provides access to Formula 1 and motor racing-related data for the creation of applications, websites, dashboards, analytics products, internal tools, and other software services.

Subject to compliance with these Terms and your Subscription, you may use the API and Data for development, analytical, informational, editorial, and commercial purposes.

The rights granted under these Terms apply only while a valid Subscription authorising the relevant use remains active.

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Subscription, commercial use of the Data requires an active paid Subscription.

3. Access and API Credentials

Access to the API through RapidAPI requires valid credentials recognised by RapidAPI and Hyprace.

You are responsible for the security of your credentials and for all use made with them. You must not publish them, make them publicly accessible, or share them with unauthorised third parties.

You must take appropriate action if you believe your credentials have been compromised.

You must not use multiple accounts, subscriptions, or credentials to circumvent quotas, rate limits, pricing rules, or access restrictions.

Hyprace may block or rotate compromised credentials where necessary to protect the API or its users.

4. Subscription, Billing, and RapidAPI

Access to the API is currently sold and administered through RapidAPI.

RapidAPI may manage, among other things, pricing, payments, quotas, overages, plan changes, cancellations, and refunds in accordance with its own terms and the information displayed on its platform.

These Terms govern the licence granted by Hyprace and the use of the API and Data.

Your Subscription does not grant any rights beyond those provided by these Terms and the applicable Subscription plan.

5. Licence and Permitted Use

Subject to compliance with these Terms and your Subscription, Hyprace grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the API and Data for authorised purposes.

Where commercial use is permitted, you may, in particular:

• integrate the API into your Subscriber Product;
• display Data to your users;
• store Data in your own databases and internal systems;
• cache API responses;
• create search indexes and backups;
• combine Data with other sources;
• create Derived Outputs;
• commercially exploit those Derived Outputs within your Subscriber Product; and
• charge for access to a Subscriber Product that uses Data or Derived Outputs.

Your users may view Data and Derived Outputs through the normal functionality of your product.

However, you must not provide them with bulk, systematic, or machine-readable access that would enable reconstruction of all or a substantial part of the Hyprace dataset or substitute for access to the API.

6. Storage and Caching

While your Subscription remains active, Hyprace imposes no general maximum retention period and no minimum refresh frequency for Data legitimately obtained through the API.

You may store Data in structured, systematic, or machine-readable form, including complete historical coverage of the Data authorised by your Subscription.

Restrictions relating to Derived Datasets primarily concern making them available to third parties and retaining or using them after the Subscription ends. They do not restrict your internal storage during an active Subscription.

Stored Data may be used only:

• in connection with your Subscriber Product;
• for your own internal operations;
• to serve users of your Subscriber Product; or
• to create permitted Derived Outputs.

Storing or caching Data does not create any independent or perpetual right to that Data.

Your right to continue using stored Data depends on maintaining the Subscription that authorised and was used to obtain that Data.

7. Employees, Contractors, and Technical Providers

You may allow your employees, contractors, and technical providers to process Data on your behalf where necessary to develop, operate, secure, or maintain your Subscriber Product.

They must not acquire any independent rights to the Data or use it for their own purposes.

You remain responsible for compliance with these Terms by persons acting on your behalf.

8. Prohibited Uses

You must not:

• sell, resell, or commercialise the Data as a standalone dataset;
• redistribute substantial portions of the Data;
• provide bulk exports of the Data;
• re-expose the Data through an API, feed, download service, or similar interface;
• create a service intended to substitute for the Hyprace API or dataset;
• make a Derived Dataset available to third parties, or retain or use one after the end of the Subscription under which the underlying Data was obtained, unless expressly authorised in writing by Hyprace;
• enable reconstruction of all or a substantial part of the Hyprace dataset;
• systematically extract Data to create a competing database or data service;
• access Hyprace systems through undocumented or unauthorised interfaces;
• circumvent authentication, quotas, rate limits, pricing rules, or security measures;
• disrupt, overload, attack, or compromise the operation of the API or its infrastructure;
• use the API in violation of applicable law or third-party rights; or
• falsely present your product or service as official, approved, sponsored by, or affiliated with Hyprace, Formula 1, the FIA, Formula One Management, a Formula 1 team, or any other third party.

You may not use the Data to create or train an artificial intelligence model or reusable dataset whose primary purpose or practical effect would be to reproduce, reconstruct, or substitute for all or a substantial part of the Hyprace Data, unless expressly authorised in writing by Hyprace.

Use of artificial intelligence tools to analyse the Data or generate Derived Outputs within your Subscriber Product remains permitted where it complies with these Terms.

9. Intellectual Property and Database Rights

9.1 Raw facts

Hyprace does not claim copyright in individual facts as such, including race results, lap times, positions, dates, or standings taken in isolation.

This does not affect any rights Hyprace may hold in the selection, collection, verification, structure, compilation, or presentation of the Data.

9.2 Hyprace database

Hyprace invests resources in collecting, obtaining, entering, verifying, correcting, normalising, structuring, maintaining, and presenting Formula 1 and motor racing-related data.

To the extent that the requirements of applicable law are met, Hyprace benefits from the rights granted to database producers under Directive 96/9/EC, the French Intellectual Property Code, and other applicable laws.

These rights may include rights relating to the extraction or reutilisation of substantial parts of the database and certain repeated or systematic extractions or reutilisations of non-substantial parts.

9.3 API and Hyprace materials

Hyprace retains all applicable rights in the API and original elements of the service, including software, documentation, original schemas and structures, editorial content, and the Hyprace brand.

No ownership rights are transferred to you.

9.4 Third-party names, trademarks, and assets

The API returns structured data only. Hyprace does not serve, host, or distribute logos, photographs, graphics, video, audio, or other media files through the API.

The Data may, however, contain factual references to names or trademarks belonging to third parties, including drivers, teams, championships, races, or circuits.

These references are used solely for descriptive and informational purposes.

These Terms do not grant you any rights to third-party logos, photographs, trademarks, liveries, graphics, or other protected assets.

If you use such assets in your Subscriber Product, you are responsible for obtaining any required rights or permissions, regardless of their source.

Hyprace does not warrant that any particular use of a third-party name, trademark, or other protected asset will be lawful.

Hyprace is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Formula 1, the FIA, Formula One Management, or any Formula 1 team.

10. Data Accuracy

Hyprace makes reasonable efforts to provide accurate and useful Data but does not guarantee that it will always be complete, error-free, current, or available in real time.

Data may, in particular, be delayed, incomplete, or corrected after publication.

The API is not an official timing, sporting, regulatory, or classification source.

Where Hyprace Data differs from an official publication by the competent body, the official source should be treated as authoritative.

You are responsible for determining whether the Data is suitable for your intended use.

11. Availability, Maintenance, and API Versions

Hyprace does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to the API.

Interruptions may result, among other things, from maintenance, technical incidents, third-party services, network issues, security incidents, or circumstances beyond Hyprace's reasonable control.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, no service-level agreement or uptime guarantee applies.

Hyprace may make backward-compatible additions, corrections, and improvements to an API version without prior notice.

Hyprace aims to preserve backward compatibility within an actively supported version and will not intentionally introduce material breaking changes to such a version unless necessary for security, legal or regulatory compliance, protection of third-party rights, or correction of a critical defect.

Where a breaking change cannot reasonably be introduced through a new version, Hyprace will use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice and appropriate migration information.

Hyprace will provide at least 90 days' notice before discontinuing any generally available API version.

Hyprace may nevertheless make immediate changes where necessary to ensure security, comply with law, protect third-party rights, correct a critical defect, or protect the integrity of the service.

12. Technical Data and Privacy

Hyprace may process technical information necessary for the operation, security, analysis, and improvement of the API, including technical identifiers, IP addresses, timestamps, endpoints used, usage volumes, and technical errors.

This information may be used, in particular, for authentication, security, abuse prevention, debugging, usage analysis, and enforcement of Subscription limits.

RapidAPI may also process certain information in accordance with its own terms and policies.

Further information is available in the applicable Hyprace Privacy Policy.

13. Suspension and Termination

Hyprace may suspend or terminate access to the API where there is, in particular, a security risk, unlawful or abusive activity, attempted circumvention of restrictions, non-payment, a material breach of these Terms, or a legal requirement.

Where a breach can reasonably be remedied and does not present an immediate risk, Hyprace may allow the Subscriber to remedy it before termination.

Serious or repeated violations may result in immediate suspension or termination.

You may cancel your Subscription through RapidAPI in accordance with the process applicable on that platform.

Hyprace may also discontinue an offering or the API itself. Where reasonably possible, advance notice will be provided before discontinuing a generally available paid service, except where urgent legal, technical, or security reasons require otherwise.

14. Effect of Termination

At the end of your Subscription, you must stop using the API and the Data obtained under that Subscription.

Data must be deleted from all active systems within 30 days.

Active systems include, in particular, production systems, operational databases, caches, search indexes, and any other system from which the Data may be used in the normal operation of your Subscriber Product.

Copies existing solely in backups, disaster-recovery systems, or archives may be retained for up to 90 days after the end of the Subscription, provided that:

• they are not used for commercial or operational purposes;
• they are restored only where technically necessary or for disaster recovery; and
• all remaining copies are permanently deleted no later than the end of the 90-day period.

Any Data restored during this period must be deleted again as soon as reasonably practicable and no later than the end of that period.

Data whose retention is required by law may be retained only for the legally required period and purpose.

14.1 Confirmation of deletion

Upon Hyprace's reasonable written request, the Subscriber must confirm in writing that these deletion obligations have been complied with.

If copies remain in backups or archives during the permitted 90-day period, the confirmation must identify the relevant categories of Data and their expected deletion date.

Any requested confirmation must be provided within 15 days.

14.2 Derived Outputs after termination

Derived Outputs created and made available to users during an active Subscription may continue to be displayed after termination where they:

• are genuinely analytical, statistical, visual, or editorial;
• can be displayed without accessing or recalculating the retained underlying Data;
• do not constitute a Derived Dataset;
• do not enable reconstruction of all or a substantial part of the Hyprace dataset; and
• do not substitute for continued access to the API.

A Derived Output may be displayed statically or dynamically where the values making up that output were created during the active Subscription and are retained solely for the purpose of displaying that output.

Examples may include articles, charts, reports, comparisons, application views, or isolated analytical statistics that meet these conditions.

This right does not apply, in particular, to:

• raw or source Data;
• internal calculation tables;
• systematically generated historical datasets;
• structured collections of statistics intended for reuse;
• historical tables covering a substantial part of the Data; or
• any other element constituting a Derived Dataset.

After termination, you must not use retained Data to create, recalculate, update, or extend existing Derived Outputs.

Nothing in this Section creates a perpetual licence to the underlying Data.

15. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Subscriber shall indemnify Hyprace against third-party claims, damages, and reasonable legal costs arising from:

• a material breach of these Terms;
• a violation of applicable law or third-party rights by the Subscriber Product;
• the Subscriber's use of Third-Party Assets;
• a false representation of official status, approval, sponsorship, or affiliation with a third party; or
• unauthorised redistribution or exploitation of the API or Data.

This obligation does not apply to the extent that the claim results directly from Hyprace's breach of these Terms, unlawful conduct, gross negligence, or wilful misconduct.

Hyprace will notify the Subscriber within a reasonable period of any relevant claim and will reasonably cooperate in its defence.

16. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the API and Data are provided "as is" and "as available".

Hyprace does not guarantee continuous availability, the absence of errors, the permanent accuracy or completeness of the Data, or suitability for a particular purpose.

You are responsible for implementing appropriate technical measures, including error handling, caching, monitoring, and graceful degradation.

Nothing in these Terms excludes any warranty that cannot legally be excluded.

17. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Hyprace will not be liable for indirect or consequential losses, including loss of profits, revenue, business, commercial opportunities, goodwill, or data.

Hyprace's total liability arising out of or relating to the API, Data, or these Terms will not exceed the total amount actually paid by the Subscriber for access to the API during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Hyprace is not responsible for interruptions caused solely by third-party services, including RapidAPI, hosting providers, network providers, or upstream data sources, except where such liability cannot legally be excluded.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be excluded, including liability arising from fraud, wilful misconduct, or gross negligence.

18. Changes to These Terms

Hyprace may update these Terms.

Where a change materially affects the rights or obligations of existing Subscribers, Hyprace will use reasonable efforts to notify them before the change takes effect.

Immediate changes may be made where necessary to comply with law, address a security issue, prevent abuse, or protect third-party rights.

Changes apply prospectively only and do not retroactively remove rights already acquired, unless required by law.

If you do not agree to a material change, you must stop using the API and may cancel your Subscription.

19. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by French law.

Before initiating proceedings, you and Hyprace are encouraged to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute relating to the API or these Terms.

Any dispute not resolved amicably will be submitted to the courts having jurisdiction under applicable French law.

Any mandatory rights applicable to the Subscriber remain unaffected.

20. General Provisions

These Terms, together with the applicable Subscription conditions, constitute the agreement governing your use of the API and Data.

A failure by Hyprace to immediately enforce a provision does not constitute a waiver of that provision.

If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

You may not assign your rights under these Terms to a third party without Hyprace's prior written consent.

Hyprace may transfer these Terms in connection with a merger, reorganisation, sale of business, or transfer of the API business, subject to applicable law.

Hyprace will not be liable for a failure or delay caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
