Effective Date: May 1, 2026  |  Last Updated: May 1, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully before using the Connected Athletics website at www.connectedathletics.org or any related services (collectively, the “Platform”) operated by Connected Athletics Inc (“Connected Athletics,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using the Platform, you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Notice, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.

If you are under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf before you use the Platform.

1. About Connected Athletics

Connected Athletics is an NCAA recruiting and athlete development platform founded and operated by former NCAA and NFL professionals. Our Platform provides student-athletes with three core service pillars:

  • Academic — NCAA core course audits, GPA tracking, 4-year academic planning, and eligibility assessments across NCAA, NAIA, and junior college divisions
  • Performance — Full game film evaluations, highlight breakdowns, and advanced skill assessments conducted by NCAA and NFL veterans
  • Brand — Social media profile audits, content calendars, posting strategies, and growth plans designed to increase visibility with college recruiters

Connected Athletics also anticipates launching a mobile application (the “App”) that will connect student-athletes, coaches, recruiters, and parents on a single platform. These Terms apply to the App upon its release.

2. Eligibility

To use the Platform, you must:

  • Be at least 13 years of age; users under 18 require parental or guardian consent
  • Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement, or have a parent/guardian do so on your behalf
  • Not be prohibited from receiving our services under applicable law

By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that do not meet these requirements.

3. Account Registration

3.1 Creating an Account

Access to certain features of the Platform requires creating an account. When registering, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information, and to keep it updated.

3.2 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at the contact information in Section 16 if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

3.3 One Account Per User

Each user may maintain only one active account. Creating duplicate accounts to circumvent suspensions or service restrictions is prohibited.

4. Subscriptions and Payment

4.1 Subscription Plans

Connected Athletics offers subscription-based access to its services. Available plans and pricing are described on the Platform at www.connectedathletics.org/subscription/. We reserve the right to modify plan offerings and pricing with reasonable notice.

4.2 Billing and Renewal

Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, depending on your selected plan). By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on each renewal date until you cancel. You are responsible for ensuring your payment information remains current.

4.3 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. We do not provide refunds for partial billing periods unless required by applicable law.

4.4 Refunds

All fees are non-refundable except as expressly stated in these Terms or as required by applicable consumer protection laws. If you believe a charge was made in error, contact us within 30 days of the charge.

4.5 Free Trials and Promotions

From time to time, we may offer free trials or promotional pricing. Unless otherwise stated, free trials automatically convert to paid subscriptions at the end of the trial period. You may cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged.

5. Services and Deliverables

5.1 Academic Services

Our academic services include review of transcripts and course records for NCAA, NAIA, and junior college eligibility. Results are based on information you provide and on our staff’s expertise. Connected Athletics is not an official NCAA clearinghouse and our eligibility assessments are informational, not official determinations. Always verify eligibility status through the NCAA Eligibility Center or the appropriate governing body.

5.2 Performance Services

Film analysis and performance assessments are delivered by experienced former college and professional coaches and athletes. Reports are advisory in nature and represent the professional opinions of our staff. We do not guarantee specific recruiting outcomes or scholarship offers.

5.3 Brand Services

Social media audits, content calendars, and brand strategies are intended to enhance your visibility to college coaches and recruiters. Results depend on your consistent implementation of recommended strategies. Connected Athletics does not guarantee follower growth targets, coach engagement, or scholarship results.

5.4 Turnaround Times

We aim to deliver expert reports and personalized strategies within the timeframes stated on the Platform (typically within a few business days of submission). Turnaround times are estimates and may vary based on volume and the completeness of information you provide.
