Terms of Service

By accessing or using the ONEZERO platform (the "Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Platform.

These Terms apply to all users of the Platform, including athletes, businesses, sales representatives, and visitors. If you are using the Platform on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

ONEZERO is a proactive athlete opportunity platform that connects student-athletes with businesses, brands, and organizations for Name, Image, and Likeness ("NIL") partnerships, campaigns, and endorsement opportunities. The Platform facilitates the discovery, negotiation, and management of NIL deals but is not a party to any agreement between athletes and businesses unless explicitly stated.

ONEZERO provides tools for campaign creation, athlete discovery, fulfillment tracking, and payment processing. We act as a facilitator and service provider, not as an agent, employer, or legal representative of any user.

To use most features of the Platform, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your account information updated.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other security breach.

Users must be at least 18 years old or have the consent of a parent or legal guardian to create an account. Athletes under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian review and consent to these Terms on their behalf.

Athletes using the Platform represent that they are eligible to participate in NIL activities under all applicable laws, regulations, and institutional policies, including but not limited to NCAA rules, conference rules, state NIL laws, and their school's NIL policies.

Athletes are solely responsible for ensuring that any NIL activity conducted through the Platform complies with their institutional requirements, including any mandatory disclosures to their athletic department or compliance office. ONEZERO does not provide legal or compliance advice and is not responsible for ensuring an athlete's compliance with institutional or regulatory requirements.

Athletes agree not to engage in any NIL activity that would jeopardize their athletic eligibility, scholarship, or amateur status. ONEZERO reserves the right to remove or restrict accounts that are found to be in violation of applicable eligibility rules.

Businesses using the Platform represent that they are legitimate entities authorized to conduct the campaigns and partnerships they post. Businesses agree to provide accurate information about their products, services, and campaign requirements.

Businesses are responsible for fulfilling all commitments made in their campaigns, including timely payment of agreed-upon compensation to athletes. ONEZERO facilitates payment processing but is not liable for a business's failure to pay athletes.

Businesses agree to comply with all applicable advertising, marketing, and consumer protection laws, including the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, when utilizing athlete-generated content.

Sales representatives ("Reps") using the Platform are independent contractors, not employees of ONEZERO. Reps are responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and compliance with applicable labor laws.

Reps earn commissions based on successfully referred and onboarded businesses, as outlined in the Rep compensation structure provided at the time of enrollment. Commission rates and payout schedules are subject to change at ONEZERO's discretion with reasonable notice.

Reps agree to conduct themselves professionally and ethically when representing ONEZERO. Misrepresentation of the Platform, deceptive sales practices, or violation of these Terms may result in immediate account termination and forfeiture of pending commissions.

Campaigns posted on the Platform are offers by businesses to engage athletes in NIL activities. When an athlete accepts a campaign, a direct agreement is formed between the athlete and the business. ONEZERO is not a party to this agreement unless explicitly stated.

Both parties are responsible for reviewing and agreeing to the specific terms of each campaign, including deliverables, timelines, compensation, and usage rights. ONEZERO provides tools for tracking and managing campaigns but does not guarantee the outcome or quality of any partnership.

Disputes between athletes and businesses regarding campaign fulfillment, content quality, or payment should first be addressed directly between the parties. ONEZERO may offer mediation support but is not obligated to resolve disputes on behalf of users.

ONEZERO facilitates payment processing between businesses and athletes. Businesses authorize ONEZERO to process payments on their behalf, and athletes receive payouts through the Platform's payment system after campaign completion and approval.

ONEZERO charges a platform fee on transactions processed through the Platform. The applicable fee structure is disclosed to users at the time of transaction. Fees are subject to change with reasonable notice.

Users are responsible for any applicable taxes related to their earnings on the Platform. ONEZERO does not provide tax advice and may issue tax documentation (such as 1099 forms) as required by law. Users should consult a tax professional regarding their tax obligations.

Payout processing times may vary depending on payment method, verification status, and banking institutions. ONEZERO is not liable for delays caused by third-party payment processors or financial institutions.

Users retain ownership of the content they create and upload to the Platform, including athlete-generated campaign content and business branding materials. By posting content, users grant ONEZERO a limited license to display and use that content for the purpose of operating and promoting the Platform.

Businesses and athletes are responsible for negotiating usage rights for campaign content directly between themselves. ONEZERO does not claim ownership of user-generated content and will remove content upon request from the rights holder if it is found to infringe third-party intellectual property.

The ONEZERO name, logo, and Platform design are proprietary trademarks of ONEZERO. Users may not use ONEZERO's branding without prior written consent, except as permitted in approved marketing materials by authorized sales representatives.

Users agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities:

• Posting false, misleading, or fraudulent campaign listings or profile information
• Harassing, threatening, or discriminating against other users
• Attempting to circumvent the Platform's payment system or fee structure
• Using the Platform for illegal, deceptive, or harmful purposes
• Scraping, copying, or redistributing Platform data or other users' content without permission
• Interfering with the proper functioning of the Platform or its security features
• Creating accounts on behalf of others without their consent
• Engaging in NIL activities that violate applicable laws, NCAA rules, or institutional policies

Violation of these prohibitions may result in account suspension, termination, and legal action where appropriate.

The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. ONEZERO disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. ONEZERO does not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

ONEZERO is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Platform. To the maximum extent permitted by law, ONEZERO's total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the Platform shall not exceed the amount you paid to ONEZERO in the preceding twelve months.

ONEZERO is not responsible for the conduct, statements, or actions of any user on the Platform, nor for the outcome of any NIL partnership or campaign. Users interact with each other at their own risk.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ONEZERO, its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from your use of the Platform, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights.

ONEZERO reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Reasons for termination may include violation of these Terms, fraudulent activity, or conduct that harms the Platform or its users.

Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately. You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall remain in effect, including ownership, disclaimers, indemnification, and limitation of liability.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Platform shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation between the parties. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation, it shall be submitted to binding arbitration administered in accordance with the laws of the United States.

The arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis, and no class or consolidated arbitration shall be permitted. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

ONEZERO may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify users of material changes by posting the updated Terms on the Platform and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
