User Obligations and Responsibilities

Accessing NBAmaniacs does not, by itself, establish a commercial relationship between the user and the website operator.

Users agree to use the website, its services and its content lawfully and responsibly, while respecting the rights of NBAmaniacs and third parties.

Using the website for unlawful or harmful purposes, or in a way that interferes with its normal operation, is prohibited.

The following activities are not permitted unless expressly authorised or otherwise allowed by law or an applicable licence:

  • Reproducing, distributing or modifying protected website content, in whole or in part, without permission.
  • Infringing the intellectual property rights of NBAmaniacs or third parties.
  • Using protected material for unauthorised commercial or advertising purposes.

Users must also refrain from any actions that could damage the reputation, interests or rights of NBAmaniacs or others, or that could disable, overload or otherwise disrupt the website.

While we take appropriate precautions to protect our systems, no website can guarantee complete security. NBAmaniacs cannot entirely rule out the presence of malware or other harmful elements that could affect users’ devices, software, documents or files.

Data Collection

NBAmaniacs may collect information through the following channels:

  • Registration forms: Users provide their name and email address when registering. Paid subscriptions may also require debit or credit card details, which may be processed by a third-party payment provider.
  • Cookies: Tracking technologies may be used in accordance with our Cookie Policy and applicable UK privacy requirements.
  • Browsing information: When accessing the website, technical information may be recorded, including IP addresses, dates and times of visits, operating systems, browsers and referring websites.
  • Subscription pop-ups: Users may register for content through subscription forms requesting their name and email address. Paid services may also require payment information.

Where required under applicable UK law, consent will be obtained before using non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies.

NBAmaniacs reserves the right to modify the website’s presentation, configuration and this Legal Notice at any time, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Email Verification and Subscriptions

Users who register through our subscription forms may be required to verify their email address.

A confirmation message is sent through Memberful, our subscription service provider. Users must follow the instructions in the email to complete the verification process.

If the message does not arrive, we recommend checking your spam folder and adding our email service to your list of trusted senders.

We use the information provided during registration to:

  • Send newsletters and basketball updates.
  • Activate and manage subscriptions.
  • Share relevant news and special offers, where permitted.
  • Provide exclusive content to paying subscribers.

NBAmaniacs does not retain unverified email addresses.

Users may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time through the relevant newsletter link or by emailing [email protected].

Any electronic marketing communications directed at UK users will be subject to applicable requirements under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.

Security Measures

NBAmaniacs uses technical and organisational measures intended to protect users’ personal information and prevent unauthorised access.

The website does not provide contact forms or comment sections for collecting personal information. Data is primarily obtained through website analytics, including Google Analytics, and direct email communication from users and readers.

Communication between users and the website is protected through HTTPS encryption, helping to secure information transmitted over the connection.

However, standard email communication may not provide the same level of security. NBAmaniacs cannot guarantee that unauthorised parties will never gain access to information in the event of a security breach.

To reduce these risks, we use strong passwords and two-factor authentication to protect our email accounts, which are hosted through Google Workspace.

Our security measures are intended to support compliance with applicable UK data protection requirements, including the obligation to implement appropriate safeguards for personal data.

Copyright and Intellectual Property Rights

Website content is protected by applicable intellectual property legislation, including the UK’s Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, where relevant.

The reproduction, distribution, modification or public communication of protected website content for commercial purposes without the necessary authorisation is prohibited, except where permitted by law or an applicable licence.

Users agree to respect the copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights associated with NBAmaniacs.

Much of the website, including its articles, software, design, structure and arrangement of content, is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights under applicable national legislation and international agreements.

  • Print publications: The name NBAmaniacs and the main website URL must be included as the source.

These permissions apply only to material covered by the relevant Creative Commons licence.

Photographs and Videos

Photographs published on NBAmaniacs may be used under a licensing agreement with Getty Images.

This agreement does not grant website visitors permission to download, reproduce or republish these images on other websites.
