You agree to use the Service in a lawful and reasonable manner that does not interfere with the operation of the Service or the experience of other users.


2. Prohibited Automated Access and Data Harvesting

You may not use bots, crawlers, scrapers, automated scripts, AI agents, browser automation tools, data mining systems, or similar technologies to access, collect, copy, extract, index, monitor, or download content or data from the Service without prior written permission.

You may not use the Service or its data to bootstrap, train, populate, support, or improve competing rankings, analytics, statistics, or athlete-tracking platforms.


4. Proprietary Compilation and Data Ownership

While certain underlying competition results may originate from third-party sources, GymRankings.ca’s aggregation, normalization, historical compilation, deduplication, rankings methodologies, data organization, athlete linking, statistical processing, and presentation constitute proprietary intellectual property owned by GymRankings.ca.

No ownership or license rights are granted except as expressly stated in these Terms.

Attempting to interfere with or circumvent these protections is prohibited.

Prohibited circumvention includes, but is not limited to:

  • IP rotation
  • Account farming
  • Proxy or VPN rotation intended to evade limits
  • Automated session generation
  • Header or user-agent spoofing intended to conceal automated activity
  • Use of distributed systems intended to avoid detection or rate limits

7. AI / Machine Learning Restrictions

Content and data from the Service may not be used to train, fine-tune, evaluate, populate, support, or improve machine learning models, AI systems, embeddings databases, search indexes, automated knowledge systems, or similar technologies without express written permission from GymRankings.ca.

This prohibition applies whether data is collected directly, indirectly, manually, or through automated means.


8. Data Accuracy and Informational Use

GymRankings.ca aggregates and processes data obtained from third-party sources. While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, we do not guarantee the completeness, accuracy, reliability, availability, or correctness of any rankings, scores, statistics, gymnast profiles, historical records, normalized scores, or other content presented on the Service.

The Service is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only and should not be considered official competition results, official governing-body records, or authoritative athlete evaluations.

Data may contain errors, omissions, delays, duplicates, incorrect athlete associations, or inaccuracies resulting from source material, data processing, normalization methodologies, or technical issues.

Use of the Service and reliance on its content is at your own risk.
