Brand & Organization Terms

Version 2026-09-08 · DRAFT FOR COUNSEL REVIEW — not yet effective

These terms apply to brands, collectives, schools and other organizations ("Organization," "you") using the Nationsbest Core Platform, in addition to the Terms of Service.

1. Account and authority

You represent that the individual accepting these terms is authorized to bind the Organization; that the Organization is a lawfully operating business or institution in the United States; and that all information provided is accurate.

2. Offers you publish

For every offer you warrant that:

Valid business purpose. Compensation is for the athlete's actual use of their name, image or likeness to promote a good or service offered to the general public for profit.
Fair market value. Compensation is commensurate with what similarly situated individuals of comparable NIL value, who are not student-athletes, would receive.
Not pay-for-play. The offer is not contingent on enrollment at, transfer to, or athletic performance for any school, and is not an inducement to attend or remain at any institution.
Payor status. You have accurately disclosed whether you are a booster, collective, or entity associated with a school or its athletics program.
Permitted category. The offer is not in a prohibited category (alcohol, tobacco/vape, gambling, cannabis, adult, weapons, PEDs/banned substances, prescription drugs), and you will respect additional state- or age-based restrictions the Platform applies.
No school marks. Deliverables will not require the athlete to use school uniforms, logos or marks unless you have a written license from the school.

3. FTC compliance

You are responsible for ensuring athletes clearly and conspicuously disclose their material connection to you in every sponsored post, as required by the FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255). The Platform requires a disclosure string in each deliverable; you must review submissions for compliance and must not approve non-compliant content. You will not ask athletes to make claims you cannot substantiate.

4. Athletes under 18

The Platform allows athletes aged 13–17 with a verified guardian. You acknowledge that contracts with minors may be voidable by the minor under state law, that the guardian's co-signature does not eliminate that risk, that every message you send to a minor is copied to their guardian, that you will not attempt to contact a minor outside the Platform, and that offers to minors are limited to non-exclusive terms of one year or less.

5. Payments and fees

You fund each contract into escrow at signing. Funds are released to the athlete's wallet as deliverables are approved, less the platform fee disclosed at offer creation (default 8%). Unfunded contracts do not activate. Payments are processed by Stripe; you agree to Stripe's Services Agreement.

6. Data

You may use athlete data only to evaluate, execute and fulfill deals on the Platform. You will not export, resell, or use it for advertising audiences, and you will delete it when the deal ends except as required by law. You are an independent controller of data you collect directly from athletes off-platform.

7. Indemnity

You will indemnify Nationsbest against claims arising from your offers, your products, your marketing claims, your failure to comply with FTC, NCAA, association or state rules, or your breach of these terms.

8. Suspension

Nationsbest may withdraw offers, freeze funds pending investigation, and suspend accounts that violate these terms, the Community Guidelines or the law.
