Last Updated: June 11th, 2025

By joining the NIL Partnership Program provided by Athlete Brands LLC, a Colorado-registered marketing agency (“Agency”), you (“Athlete”) agree to the following terms. Please read them carefully.

1. Nature of Services

Athlete Brands LLC provides marketing, branding, and NIL support services. These may include:

  • Brand introductions and communication

  • Custom merchandise store setup and promotion

  • Athlete content creation, exposure, and UGC (User-Generated Content) opportunities

  • Paid advertising management using athlete content

We do not offer legal advice, legal representation, or contract negotiation. Athletes are encouraged to consult with personal legal or financial advisors for formal agreements.

2. Non-Exclusive & Voluntary Participation

This is a non-exclusive and voluntary arrangement. Athletes are free to work with other agencies, collectives, schools, and brands. You are never obligated to accept an opportunity. Athlete Brands LLC does not apply to NIL deals or represent you legally.

3. Content Opportunities & Compensation

You may be invited to participate in brand-related content projects. If accepted:

  • You will be paid the agreed amount per project (commonly 100% of your quoted rate).

  • You grant limited rights to use your content/NIL for that campaign only..

  • Merchandise profits are split 80/20 (athlete/agency) unless otherwise stated.

  • Brand Partnerships & Internal Network

    As part of the NIL Partnership Program, Athlete Brands LLC may provide promotional opportunities, sponsorships, and NIL deals through its own affiliated or directly managed brands. These partnerships are offered as legitimate NIL activations and may include commission-based codes, paid content posts, or merchandise collaborations.

    By enrolling in this program, the athlete acknowledges and agrees that some NIL deals may originate from brands owned or operated by Athlete Brands LLC. All partnerships provided through this network will involve real marketing deliverables and comply with standard NIL guidelines.

     

4. Compliance, Payments & Reporting

  • Payments are typically sent monthly via PayPal or agreed method.

  • You are responsible for accurate tax reporting and compliance disclosure to your school or institution.

  • We are not liable for payment delays caused by incorrect information.

  • Maintain professionalism in all content and brand interactions

  • Accurately represent your stats, image, and social presence

  • Avoid behavior that may damage brand partnerships or violate NCAA/school policies
