Summary: Use AthLnk legally and honestly. Athletes must be who they say they are. Businesses
may not spam, harass, or misuse athlete data. AthLnk facilitates connections — it does not execute, guarantee,
or take commission on deals. Violating these terms results in account termination.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the AthLnk platform ("Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions
("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you are using the Platform on behalf of an organization, you represent
that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
2. Account Registration
You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account. You are responsible for
maintaining the security of your account and for all activity that occurs under it. You must notify us
immediately at support@ATHLNK.com of any unauthorized account access.
You may not create accounts for others without their permission, use false identities, or create multiple
accounts for the same individual or organization without our written consent.
3. Athlete-Specific Terms
Eligibility & Verification
By submitting your profile for verification, you represent that all stats, achievements, and credentials you
submit are accurate and not fabricated. Submitting false information for verification is grounds for immediate
account termination and may be reported to relevant athletic organizations.
NIL Eligibility
College athletes are solely responsible for ensuring their NIL activity complies with their institution's
policies, their athletic conference rules, and applicable NCAA or NAIA regulations. AthLnk does not provide
legal or compliance advice. Consult your athletic department before executing any NIL deal.
Profile Content
You retain ownership of content you upload (photos, videos, bio). By uploading content, you grant AthLnk a
non-exclusive, worldwide license to display that content within the Platform to verified business users.

used in any way that violates our Privacy Policy. Business accounts are prohibited from exporting data for
mass marketing unrelated to AthLnk's intended use cases.
CRM Integration
Business users who connect CRM systems (HubSpot, Zoho) are responsible for ensuring their use of synced

threatening; infringing on third-party intellectual property rights; containing malware, viruses, or harmful
code; sexually explicit or inappropriate for a professional sports context.
AthLnk reserves the right to remove any content that violates this policy without notice.
6. NIL Deals & Transactions
AthLnk provides infrastructure for athletes and businesses to connect and exchange deal offers. AthLnk is
not a party to any deal executed between athletes and businesses and takes no
commission on any transactions.
AthLnk makes no representations regarding the legal compliance, validity, or enforceability of any deal
executed through the Platform. Users are solely responsible for ensuring their deals comply with applicable
law, NCAA/NAIA regulations, and institutional policies.
AthLnk does not provide escrow, payment processing, or contract management services for deals between
athletes and businesses.

automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date. No refunds are issued for partial billing periods.
Free trial periods (where offered) convert to paid subscriptions at the end of the trial unless cancelled.
You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account dashboard.
