CUSTOMER TERMS

  1. What We Do.

Actu8agency provides technology to the athlete endorsement industry. We serve the full lifecycle of supporting athletes: educating, assessing, planning, sharing, creating, measuring, tracking, disclosing, regulating, listing, browsing, booking, and more.

Our industry-leading products – Actu8agency Compliance, Content, Education, and Marketplace – help athletes and their supporters understand, build, protect, and monetize their brand value. Specifically, for you, our Customer, we connect you with End Users whom you wish to engage in requested Activities.

  1. Searching and Booking an Activity.

Searching. Customers can search for End Users to perform an Activity by using different search criteria such as name, team, sport, and gender. Search results are based on an End User’s having an account with Actu8agency which is open to searching.

Booking. When you find your specified End User(s) and request an Activity from the End User(s), you are agreeing to pay the Activity Fee that End User has posted for the completed Activity, as well as additional fees including any Actu8agency Fees; the Actu8agency Fee and the Activity Fee together shall be referred to as the Total Fee (“Total Fee”). When you request the Activity, the Total Fee will be collected at that time.

  1. Fees and Payment

Minimum Activity Fee. The minimum Activity Fee may be listed on each End User’s profile page. Prior to checkout, the additional Actu8agency Fees shall also be displayed. By submitting a request, you agree to pay the Total Fee associated with each Activity. All fees you will be required to pay for an Activity will be made clear prior to you submitting final approval of payment. All transactions on the Actu8agency Site are settled in USD. You will be responsible for payment of any fees or expenses imposed by your payment card provider or the payment processor to settle the transaction in USD.

Payment Processing. When you request an Activity, you must provide a valid payment method through the applicable third-party payment provider Actu8agency has selected, currently Stripe, although that may be subject to change upon notice. Your payment method will be charged for the full amount upon request of the Activity. You acknowledge and agree that Actu8agency does not operate, own, or control the payment provider. Your use of your payment method is governed by your agreement with and the privacy policy of the payment provider, not these Terms. You agree to immediately notify the payment provider of any change in your billing address (or other information) for your payment method.

Refunds. Once you have booked an Activity, if for some reason that Activity does not complete, the full amount charged will be put back into your Actu8agency Account balance for use on a future Activity. You may use that credit for any purchases on the Site until such time as the credit is fully redeemed. You may only use your credit for a purchase of the exact amount or an amount lower than the credit available. Any purchase over the amount of credit you have available will be charged in full to your payment method.

If you wish to receive a refund of those funds, Actu8agency will do so, however, you may not exchange or return an Activity once the request has been accepted by the End User.

If an Activity that you have paid for has not been completed, please inform Actu8agency by emailing support@Actu8agency.com and advising of the situation. At that point, Actu8agency will be able to help you with the refund process as outlined above.

Actu8agency Cancellations. Actu8agency reserves the right (but is under no obligation) to cancel any Activity request if: (i) the payment method is declined; or (ii) if the requestor has previously been banned or removed from the Site for any reason. If the Activity is cancelled at the behest of Actu8agency, a refund of the Total Fee shall be made to the original payment method.

Change of Activity Fee. The End User may change the Minimum Activity Fee at any time, by providing such change on their profile. If the change is made after an Activity is booked and payment has been made, the End User shall honor the original Activity Fee. Likewise, Actu8agency reserves the right to change the Actu8agency Fees or the payment procedures, including payment options and terms, either immediately upon posting on the Site or by other notice to you.

Content Issues. If there is an issue with the content provided by an End User (i.e., it contains offensive or profane material, or violates the intellectual property rights of you or another party) you can attempt to resolve the issue by working directly with the End User. If that is not possible, or if that fails, please contact support@Actu8agency.com and we will work with you to attempt to resolve the issue.

Taxes. You are responsible for payment of any taxes levied on the transactions you make through the Site.

Your relationship with Actu8agency is that of an independent individual or entity and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of Actu8agency, except that Actu8agency Payments acts as a payment collection agent as described in these Terms. Actu8agency does not direct or control your Account, Activity Fee, or Activities, and you agree that you have complete discretion whether and when to accept Activity requests, and at what price and on what terms to offer them, so long as that is clearly stated prior to any Activity request being submitted.

  1. Managing Your Account

End User Account. Your account and the safety and security thereof are your responsibility. You create Login Information and should not share this with anyone. If you give a third party permission to access your account, that individual will have access to all information, including but not limited to your financial information. An individual who is provided your  Login Information will likewise have the ability to review and accept deal offers on your behalf. Actu8agency does not monitor your account and cannot stop, and shall not be responsible for, any fraud that may occur. If you suspect any unauthorized use of your Account, you agree to notify us immediately. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for any activities occurring under your Account. You acknowledge and agree that Actu8agency is not responsible or liable for any damages, losses, costs, expenses, or liabilities related to any unauthorized access to or use of your Account. If you provide your Login Information to an agent or other individual who may act on your behalf, Actu8agency cannot remove that access from the individual, it is up to you to modify your Account by changing your password or other options to remove that individual’s access to your Account.

Actu8agency Promotion of Your Profile within Actu8agency Clubs. Actu8agency may, but shall not be required to display End User Content on the Actu8agency Platform, on social media, and via other means of advertising to promote and fulfill Actu8agency Clubs. For any Club that is created, Actu8agency will sell varying levels of membership, of which 50% of the gross revenue generated from Actu8agency Clubs shall be distributed evenly among all End Users who have the rights to End User Content featured in the promotion or fulfillment of Actu8agency Clubs (“Club NIL Royalties”). Club NIL Royalties will be distributed quarterly along with an accounting of what was collected by Actu8agency and the total distribution made to End Users.

Opting out of Actu8agency Clubs. End Users may opt-out of their profile being used in the promotion of Actu8agency Clubs by contacting us at support@Actu8agency.com and requesting your End User Content and/or profile be removed from the Actu8agency Club(s). (This will remove the End User from the Actu8agency Club Page and will ensure that End User is not calculated in, and does not receive, royalties due to End User Content holders on a quarterly basis).

  1. Fees and Payment

    Activity Fees. It is your responsibility to set your minimum acceptable Activity Fee for each Activity. These Activity Fees will be posted and made clear to any Customer who wishes to make an Activity request of you. You may change your Activity Fees but must honor an Activity Fee for an Activity that has already been accepted, even if your Activity Fee changes prior to the Activity being completed. Your Activity Fee will be released to your Account upon accepted proof of the completion of an Activity.
    Cancellation. You may choose to cancel an Activity prior to performance of such. In the event of cancellation, any payment offered by Customer will not be released to your account. A Customer may likewise choose to cancel an Activity request prior to the Activity being fulfilled. If a Customer attempts to make a cancellation after you have fulfilled the requested Activity, payment for the portion of the Activity you have completed may be released to your Account. Any cancellation shall be subject to any terms you have agreed to with Customer upon accepting the Activity request. Actu8agency reserves the right (but is under no obligation) to cancel any Activity request if (i) the payment method is declined; or (ii) if the requestor or End User has previously been banned or removed from the Site for any reason.
  2. Taxes

You are responsible for payment of any taxes that are levied on the Activity Fees and other forms of compensation (e.g. non-cash compensation such as the value of gift cards, products, and/or apparel) you earn each year. Actu8agency will provide you with a Form 1099 at the end of each tax year, and it is your responsibility to properly report and remit any required payments. Actu8agency is not a legal or tax advisor and as such offers no warranty or representation regarding the amount you may owe or your requirements in filing your income tax. Actu8agency advises the hiring of a tax professional for any associated questions or issues you may have.
