Terms & Conditions

Effective date: September 15, 2026

The game

39–43 is a free, fan-made basketball drafting game provided for entertainment only. By playing, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Not affiliated with the NBA

39–43 is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to the National Basketball Association (NBA), its teams, its players, the NBPA, or any coach depicted in the game. Player names, team names, and historical statistics are factual matters of public record and are used here solely for identification in a transformative, non-commercial fan game. All trademarks and rights of publicity remain the property of their respective owners.

Entertainment only — no gambling

39–43 is not a gambling, betting, or fantasy-sports-for-money product. There are no wagers, no prizes, no cashouts, and nothing of monetary value can be won or lost. Simulated results are generated for fun and have no predictive value whatsoever.

Free to play

The game is free. An optional "Buy me a beer" link leads to a third-party tipping service (Buy Me a Coffee). Tips are voluntary, non-refundable, and handled entirely by that service under its own terms. Tipping does not unlock features or affect gameplay.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Interfere with, scrape at disruptive volume, or attempt to break the site or its analytics
  • Misrepresent the game as an official NBA product
  • Use the game for any unlawful purpose

Intellectual property

The 39–43 name, logo, design, and original content are © 2026 Danb. You may share your results and screenshots freely — that's the whole point — but you may not copy and redistribute the game itself or its assets for commercial purposes.

Accuracy

Player rosters, eras, and statistics are compiled in good faith from public records but may contain errors or omissions. The game is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, availability, or fitness for a particular purpose.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer of 39–43 is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the game — including lost drafts, bruised egos, or group-chat disputes over whether your team was actually super average.

Changes and availability

The game may be updated, suspended, or discontinued at any time without notice. These terms may be updated from time to time; the version posted on this page with its effective date governs.
