END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (EULA)
Effective Date: February 20, 2026
Company: Impact Fans, Inc. ("Company", "we", "us", or "our")
This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a binding legal contract between you ("User", "you", or "your") and Impact Fans, Inc. By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to these terms.
1. ACCOUNT ACTIVATION & PARTNERSHIP REQUESTS
Pending Status: Upon registration, all User accounts are initially set to "Pending" status.
Activation Trigger: An account is not active and the User is not eligible for participation or payment until they receive and explicitly accept a "Partnership Ad Request" from the official Company handle (@impact.fans).
Agreement to Partner: By accepting a Partnership Ad Request, the User formally authorizes the Company to include their social media account details in Partnership Ads and/or anonymized follower Custom Clusters for the duration of the campaign.
2. THE "NO-NIL" GUARANTEE & ZERO ENDORSEMENT
No Use of Identity: The Company explicitly agrees that it will never use your name, image, likeness (NIL), or social media handles (@handles) in any advertising, marketing materials, or promotional content.
Zero Endorsement: Your participation does not constitute a personal endorsement of any product or brand. All ads are delivered from the Company's official brand handles and will never appear as "Sponsored by" you.
No Account Access: We do not require your social media passwords and will never post content to your personal feeds.
3. ATHLETIC COMPLIANCE & CSC REPORTING
Athlete's Full Responsibility: It is the User's sole and exclusive responsibility to make the College Sports Commission (CSC), their university, and their conference aware of this agreement.
Disclosure Portals: Users are encouraged to use their designated NIL Go portal or institutional disclosure software to provide the necessary contract information to their compliance office.
No Coordination Warranty: The Company makes no warrant or suggestion that it coordinates with the NCAA, CSC, conferences, or university compliance offices. We do not report deals on your behalf.
Suppression Rights: While the Company may advertise for any lawful product, we provide "Suppression Types" upon written request to ensure ad categories align with your specific institutional policies.
4. COMMISSION & 2026 TAX COMPLIANCE
Commission Model: You will be paid a commission based on your proportionate influence within the audience segments where ads are run.
$2,000 W-9 Threshold: In accordance with 2026 regulations, once your cumulative earnings reach $2,000.00, you must provide a completed Form W-9.
Withholding & Forfeiture: Payments exceeding $2,000 will be withheld until a valid W-9 is received. Failure to provide this within sixty (60) days of reaching the threshold results in the forfeiture of all pending and future payments accrued while enrolled in your current athletic program.
5. ADVERTISING METHODOLOGY & CUSTOM CLUSTERS
Audience Aggregation: You grant the Company permission to access your follower data to build "Custom Clusters." This aggregates your followers with others into anonymized segments (e.g., grouped by school, sport, or gender).
Targeting: All targeting is based on these aggregated segments. We do not sell individual user data to third-party advertisers.
6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & LICENSE
License Grant: We grant you a limited, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Impact Fans platform for personal use.
Ownership: The Company retains all rights and title in the Services, including software, code, and "Custom Cluster" data. You may not reverse engineer or scrape our data.
7. WARRANTIES & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
"As Is" Basis: The Services are provided without any warranties, express or implied.
Limitation of Liability: The Company is not liable for any loss of scholarship, suspension, or disqualification. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Company liability is limited to the greater of $100 or the commissions earned by you in the three (3) months preceding the claim.
Indemnification: You agree to hold the Company harmless from any claims or losses arising from your breach of this Agreement or your violation of athletic eligibility rules.
8. TERMINATION & DISPUTES
Termination: Either party may terminate this agreement at any time. Upon termination, any commissions earned prior to that date will be paid out, subject to Section 4 (Tax Compliance).
Governing Law: This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Alabama.
Arbitration: Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Birmingham, Alabama.
Relationship of the Parties: This Agreement creates a contractual service relationship where the Company acts as the authorized Brand representative for the User. The programmatic initiation of partnership requests is a required technical service provided by the Company to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.
