This website and the Athlete Merch mobile application (together, the "Site") are operated by YOKE Global Inc ("YOKE," "we," "us," or "our"). We offer this Site, including all information, tools, and services available from this Site to you, the user, conditioned upon your acceptance of all terms, conditions, policies, and notices stated here.

By visiting our Site and/or purchasing something from us, you engage in our "Service" and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions ("Terms", "Terms of Use"), including those additional terms and conditions and policies referenced herein. These Terms apply to all users of the Site, including without limitation users who are browsers, vendors, customers, merchants, and/or contributors of content. If you are an athlete who creates an account on the Site or launches a merchandise store through the Service, these Terms also govern your athlete account and store.

This Site is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. Individuals who are at least 13 but under 18 years of age may use this Site only with the involvement, supervision, and consent of a parent or legal guardian, and by using the Site such a user represents that a parent or legal guardian has consented. This Site is not intended for, and may not be used by, children under 13 years of age.

Your use of this Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, available at athletemerch.com/privacy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By visiting or using this Site, you acknowledge that you have read the Privacy Policy and agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in it.

By agreeing to these Terms, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are at least 13 years of age and are using the Site with the consent of a parent or legal guardian as described in the Overview. You may not use our products for any illegal or unauthorized purpose nor may you, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws). A breach or violation of any of the Terms will result in an immediate termination of your Services.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time. You understand that your content (not including credit card information), may be transferred unencrypted and involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. Credit card information is always encrypted during transfer over networks.

By using the Site, you consent to receive communications from us electronically, and you agree that all agreements, notices, and disclosures we provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

The content on this Site—including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, images, and software—is the property of YOKE or the specific athletes featured ("Licensors") and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

•Athlete Likeness: The names, images, likenesses, and signatures of the athletes featured on this Site are used under specific license. You are strictly prohibited from copying, reproducing, or using any athlete imagery found on this Site for any commercial purpose without express written consent from YOKE and the respective athlete.

•Site Content: You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any portion of the Service, use of the Service, or access to the Service or any contact on the Site through which the service is provided, without express written permission by us.

•Athlete Promotional License: We grant each athlete with an account on the Site a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to use the Athlete Merch and YOKE names, logos, and marketing materials solely to promote that athlete's own store. You may not otherwise use, reproduce, distribute, perform, publicly display, or prepare derivative works of our trademarks, logos, or copyrighted materials unless we give you permission in writing.

•Copyright Infringement (DMCA): If you believe any content on the Site infringes your intellectual property rights, you may request that we remove the content by sending a DMCA notice to info@athletemerch.com providing detailed information supporting your claim.

We are not responsible if information made available on this Site is not accurate, complete, or current. We do not warrant that any information on this Site — including product descriptions, images, specifications, and pricing — is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, and to change or update information at any time without prior notice. Product images are illustrative; actual products may vary slightly in color, print placement, or materials, and colors may display differently depending on your screen. Such minor variations are not defects. This Section is subject to the disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability in Section 19.

Prices for our products are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue the Service (or any part or content thereof) without notice at any time. We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any modification, price change, suspension, or discontinuance of the Service.

You do not need an account to make a purchase.

If you are located in a jurisdiction in which we are required to charge and collect tax, applicable tax is calculated and added to your total at checkout based on your shipping address. Your payment method issuer may charge you additional fees, such as foreign transaction fees or processing fees; please consult your payment provider for details.

Purchases are one-time transactions. Purchasing from a store does not enroll you in a subscription or create recurring charges.

•Order Acceptance: All orders for Products are subject to acceptance by YOKE. We reserve the right to limit, reject, modify, or cancel orders at our sole discretion. Information on the Site constitutes an invitation to bargain only, not a binding offer to sell. Our order confirmation does not constitute acceptance of your order; acceptance occurs when we ship the Product(s).

•Payments: We will charge your credit card (or selected payment method) upon placement of your order, including all pre-orders. By placing an order, you agree that any payment information provided is true and complete.

•Pricing Errors: We reserve the right to correct any mistakes in price listed on the Site at any time. If a mistake in price is made, we will, at our sole discretion, either contact you to offer the Product at the correct price or cancel your order and refund the amount paid.

•Promotional Codes: Promotional codes have no cash value, may be limited to one per order, and may be modified or revoked at any time.

•Taxes: Unless you provide a valid tax exemption certificate applicable to the shipping location, you are responsible for all sales and other taxes associated with the order.

•Estimates: Any shipping timelines provided on the Site are estimates only and do not guarantee the date of delivery. In no event will we be liable for any loss, damage, or penalty resulting from any delay in shipment or delivery.

•Risk of Loss: All items purchased from the Site are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.

•Shipping Address: You are responsible for providing an accurate and complete shipping address. If your order is delayed, returned, or misdelivered because the address you provided was inaccurate or incomplete, re-shipment may require an additional shipping charge.

•International Orders: For international orders, you are the importer of record and responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, and brokerage fees.

•Processing: Orders are processed during standard business hours (Monday-Friday), excluding national holidays.

Due to the limited nature of the athlete-licensed merchandise sold on this Site, ALL SALES ARE FINAL.

•No Returns: We do not offer returns, exchanges, or refunds for "change of mind" or incorrect sizing selected by the customer. Please review your order and the sizing charts carefully before submitting your purchase.

•Defective Items: If you receive a Product that is damaged or defective upon arrival, or if you receive the wrong item due to our error, you must notify us within 14 days of delivery at info@athletemerch.com. We will evaluate the claim and, at our discretion, provide a replacement or refund.

We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made at our store.

Purchases made on this Site are intended for end users only. Products sold on this Site are not authorized for resale. We reserve the right to limit the quantity of items purchased per person, per household, or per order to prevent unauthorized resale.

Certain content, products, and services available via our Service may include materials from third-parties. Third-party links on this Site may direct you to third-party websites that are not affiliated with us. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy and we do not warrant and will not have any liability or responsibility for any third-party materials or websites, or for any other materials, products, or services of third-parties.

In addition to other prohibitions as set forth in the Terms, you are prohibited from using the Site or its content: (a) for any unlawful purpose; (b) to solicit others to perform or participate in any unlawful acts; (c) to violate any international, federal, provincial or state regulations, rules, laws, or local ordinances, including but not limited to laws applicable to telemarketing such as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"); (d) to infringe upon or violate our intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of others; (e) to upload or transmit viruses or any other type of malicious code; (f) to collect or track the personal information of others; (g) to spam, phish, pharm, pretext, spider, crawl, or scrape; (h) to interfere with or circumvent the security features of the Service; (i) to harass, bully, intimidate, or threaten others, or to post or transmit content that is hateful, discriminatory, obscene, or violent; or (j) to submit false or misleading information.

Athletes may create an account on the Site to set up a profile and submit information for the creation of a merchandise store.

When you create an account, you agree to provide current, truthful, and accurate information and to keep your information updated if it changes. You must meet the age requirements described in the Overview to create an account. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has consented to your creation of an account and operation of a store. You are solely responsible for the security of your account and for any activity that occurs while anyone is signed into your account. Please contact us immediately at info@athletemerch.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

Your account is personal to you and is tied to your name, image, and likeness; it cannot be sold or transferred to, or used by, any other person. We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate any account at our discretion, including for violations of these Terms. You may permanently delete your account at any time by contacting us at info@athletemerch.com. These Terms remain in effect even if you no longer have an account.

With your permission, we may give other websites or services (such as social media platforms) the ability to verify information about your account or perform actions on your behalf. This permission is requested when you connect your account to those services. You can learn more in our Privacy Policy.

Athletes retain full ownership of all content they submit to the Site or otherwise provide to us, including their names, images, likenesses, signatures, photographs, and profile content (collectively, "Athlete Content"). By creating a store or submitting Athlete Content, you grant YOKE a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable, worldwide license to use, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, and prepare derivative works of your Athlete Content to create, manufacture, market, and sell your merchandise and to operate, promote, and improve the Service, including sublicensing to our manufacturing and fulfillment partners. This license survives the closure of your store or account.

You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to all Athlete Content you submit and that your Athlete Content does not infringe the intellectual property or other rights of any third party. We may require verification of consent for any other individuals depicted in Athlete Content.

We may offer you, as an athlete, the ability to send email or text message communications to your contacts through the Service to promote your own store and offerings. Your contacts may include contacts you previously invited or added through the NIL Club mobile application. You confirm that the consents you have obtained from your contacts extend to communications about your own offerings, including your merchandise store. When you use these features, you agree to the following:

•You initiate and control your communications. We provide the platform and the vendor relationships that support delivery, and we apply screening designed to exclude numbers that have opted out or that may not lawfully be contacted. This screening does not guarantee compliance and does not relieve you of any of your responsibilities under this Section.

•You are solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws, including without limitation the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the Telemarketing Sales Rule, the CAN-SPAM Act, and applicable state telemarketing laws. This includes obtaining any consents required by law before sending communications.

•You agree to indemnify YOKE against any claims arising from your failure to obtain any legally required consent from recipients.

General information on compliant messaging is available from the Federal Communications Commission at https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts.

We do not allow stores, products, or Athlete Content that violate our policies. Without limiting Section 13, athletes may not submit, offer, or maintain:

•Anything illegal, or any sexually explicit content or content containing nudity.

•Content that is abusive toward other people.

•Content that uses others' intellectual property, unless you have written permission to use it or your use is otherwise permitted by law (such as fair use).

•Products or content that promote activities, products, or services that violate your school's, conference's, or other organizing body's rules (such as promoting the use of tobacco products). You are solely responsible for compliance with those rules.

We may reject, remove, or discontinue any store, product, or Athlete Content at our discretion.

We may offer athletes the opportunity to earn points or rewards through activities on the Service, such as launching or promoting a store or referring other athletes. Points may unlock benefits or features described in the app; they have no cash value, are not your property, and cannot be transferred or sold. For referral and other rewards, the conditions for earning the reward, its amount or benefit, any ability to redeem or withdraw it, and any expiration are described at the time of the offer. Unclaimed or unredeemed rewards may expire worthless, and if your account is suspended or deleted, any points or rewards in your account may be forfeited and expire worthless.

Where a reward is redeemable for cash, you may request a withdrawal through your account. Withdrawals may be subject to minimum balance thresholds disclosed in the app, and it is your responsibility to maintain a valid payout account (such as PayPal or Venmo). We try to provide timely access to withdrawable rewards, but you may occasionally experience delays. We may block or hold withdrawals for violations of our policies — including these Terms — or for compliance reasons, including collecting any required tax reporting information, and we will try to communicate the reason to you promptly.

By requesting a withdrawal, you represent that you are 18 years of age or older, or that your parent or legal guardian has authorized the withdrawal and the payout account you use (such as a teen account sponsored by a parent or guardian), and that you are authorized to use that account. Withdrawals are processed by third-party payment providers, such as PayPal or Venmo, and are subject to their terms and eligibility requirements.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to suspend, revoke, or adjust your points or rewards if we believe you have misused the system, violated these Terms, or engaged in fraudulent or manipulative behavior, such as exploiting system errors or using unauthorized methods to earn points or rewards.

We do not guarantee, represent or warrant that your use of our service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, or that the information, content, products, or materials made available through the Service are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or free of errors. Except as expressly stated in these Terms, the Service and all products are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

In no case shall YOKE Global Inc, our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, interns, suppliers, service providers or licensors be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind, including, without limitation lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or any similar damages, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, arising from your use of any of the service or any products procured using the service. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

In no event shall the total aggregate liability of YOKE Global Inc and the parties listed above, arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or any products purchased through the Site, exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid to us for the product(s) giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). The foregoing limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless YOKE Global Inc and our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third-party due to or arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Service, your breach of these Terms or the documents they incorporate by reference, or your violation of any applicable laws, rules, or regulations or the rights of a third-party. We reserve the right to exclusive control over the defense of any claim covered by this Section, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of any such claim.

These Terms and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

Before initiating any formal legal proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, we and you agree to first send a written Notice of Dispute (for us, sent to your email of record, and for you, sent to info@athletemerch.com) with the subject line including the phrase "Notice of Dispute" and the body of the email describing the nature and basis of the claim and the specific relief sought. The other party will have thirty (30) days from receipt of the Notice of Dispute to respond and to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. No court proceeding may be filed until this thirty-day notice and cure period has elapsed. While nothing in this Section requires arbitration of any dispute, the parties are free to agree to participate in a binding consumer arbitration (or to non-binding mediation) if they are unable to resolve disputes informally.

These Terms, together with the policies they incorporate by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements regarding the Service. If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable; if it cannot be modified, it shall be severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. If either party fails to enforce a right provided by these Terms, that failure does not waive the ability to enforce that or any other right in the future.

You can review the most current version of the Terms at any time on this page. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to update, change or replace any part of these Terms by posting updates and changes to the Site. It is your responsibility to check the Site periodically for changes. If we make material changes that adversely affect your rights, we will provide notice before the changes take effect. Your continued use of or access to the Site or the Service following the posting of any changes to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.

Questions about the Terms should be sent to us at info@athletemerch.com. If you use accessibility tools and have questions or concerns, please contact us at the same address.
