Terms of Service & User Agreement

Effective August 27, 2026

This Terms of Service and User Agreement (“Agreement”) is a binding contract between you and The Bridge Athletics (“Bridge,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the Bridge Athletics website, mobile experience, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”). By creating an account, completing checkout, or otherwise using the Platform, you accept this Agreement in full. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

1. Eligibility & Accounts

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under 18, you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and consented to this Agreement on your behalf, and that they authorize the collection and public display of your athletic and biographical information as described below. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account.

2. What the Platform Does — and Does Not — Guarantee

Bridge provides tools to help student-athletes build a public recruiting profile, host highlight video, and send outreach communications to college coaches whose contact information appears in our coach directory. Bridge does not guarantee that any coach will view, open, or respond to your profile or outreach, and does not guarantee any tryout, roster spot, scholarship, offer, or other recruiting outcome. Results depend on factors entirely outside our control, including your own athletic qualifications, program needs, and the individual coach’s decisions. The Platform is a communication and exposure tool, not a recruiting agency, agent, or guarantee of results.

3. Coach Directory & Third-Party Data

Some coach and school records in our directory are compiled from publicly available sources, including athletics-department staff pages, using a combination of manual entry and automated collection tools. While we take reasonable steps to review this data before it becomes visible or contactable, coach titles, roles, and contact details can change or be inaccurate, and we do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or currency of any third-party listing. If you believe a listing about you is inaccurate or should be removed, contact us and we will review it.

4. NCAA / NAIA Independence

Bridge Athletics is an independent, privately operated platform. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the NCAA, the NAIA, any athletic conference, or any member institution. You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with your own eligibility rules, recruiting-contact windows, and any NCAA/NAIA/conference regulations that apply to you — including rules governing when and how you (or anyone on your behalf) may contact college coaches. Any eligibility, contact- period, or NCAA Eligibility Center information shown on the Platform is self-reported or informational only and is not a substitute for confirming your status directly with the NCAA Eligibility Center or your school’s compliance office.

5. Your Content

You retain ownership of the video, photos, statistics, and biographical information you submit (“Your Content”). By submitting it, you grant Bridge a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, publicly display, and transmit Your Content for the purpose of operating the Platform — including displaying it on your public profile and including it in outreach communications you initiate to coaches. You represent that you own or have the right to submit Your Content, that it does not infringe any third party’s rights, and that any statistics or accomplishments you report are accurate to the best of your knowledge. Bridge is not liable for consequences arising from inaccurate information you submit about yourself.

6. Fees, Billing, and Refunds

Certain features require payment of the fees displayed at checkout. By subscribing or purchasing, you authorize us (and our payment processor) to charge your payment method on the stated schedule. All fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law — this includes partial-month or partial-term amounts if you cancel before the end of a billing period. Cancelling a subscription stops future billing but does not refund amounts already charged. We may change our prices prospectively with notice; continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new price.

Some plans may include a free trial period. If a trial requires no payment method upfront, you must add a valid payment method before the trial ends to continue uninterrupted access; if none is added, access to the paid features ends automatically at the trial’s expiration and no charge occurs. If a trial requires a payment method upfront, you will be automatically charged at the end of the trial unless you cancel before it ends. Trial terms specific to your plan are also shown at signup and control if they differ from this general description.

7. Referral & Affiliate Program

If you participate in our referral, ambassador, or affiliate program, your participation is also governed by that program’s specific terms (including eligibility for and calculation of any bonus, commission, or reward), which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any referral or affiliate program, or decline or claw back a reward, at our discretion in cases of fraud, self-referral, or abuse.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity, age, or athletic record;
  • Use the Platform to send spam, harassment, or unsolicited bulk messages outside its intended outreach features;
  • Scrape, copy, or systematically extract data from the Platform without our written permission;
  • Upload content that is unlawful, defamatory, or infringes another party’s rights;
  • Attempt to interfere with, disable, or gain unauthorized access to the Platform or other users’ accounts.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY COACH WILL RECEIVE, OPEN, OR RESPOND TO ANY COMMUNICATION SENT THROUGH IT.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE BRIDGE ATHLETICS AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF RECRUITING OPPORTUNITY, SCHOLARSHIP, OR REVENUE, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PLATFORM WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) IF YOU PAID US NOTHING.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold The Bridge Athletics harmless from any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the Platform, Your Content, or your violation of this Agreement or any applicable law or recruiting regulation.

12. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

You and The Bridge Athletics agree to first try to resolve any dispute informally by contacting us. If a dispute is not resolved within 30 days, you and The Bridge Athleticsagree that it will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. YOU AND THE BRIDGE ATHLETICS EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. This Agreement and any dispute arising from it are governed by the laws of [State of Formation], without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account at our discretion, including for violation of this Agreement, fraudulent activity, or misuse of the Platform’s outreach or referral features. Fees already paid are non-refundable upon termination for cause. You may stop using the Platform and cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings.

14. Changes to This Agreement

We may update this Agreement from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice (such as an email or in-app notice) before they take effect. Continued use of the Platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement.
