Yahoo and the NFL Players Association have reached a settlement over the use of players' statistics, images and other information in Yahoo's fantasy football games.

Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.

"NFL Players and Yahoo! have reached a settlement. We continue to explore additional opportunities to work together," Andrew Feffer, chief operating officer of NFL Players, said in a statement.

The company wanted the court to find that the NFL "may not continue to extract money from Yahoo for the use of this publicly available information."

Yahoo's most recent licensing agreement expired in March and it notified the NFLPA that it would not renew the contract because of a court ruling that another fantasy football league provider did not need licenses.

Yahoo offers fantasy sports services for football, basketball, baseball, hockey, golf and auto racing.
