1. Introduction and Acceptance

These Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“Affiliate,” “Referrer,” “you,” or “your”) and USA College Sports LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company doing business as USA College Sport (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By registering for the USA College Sport Affiliate Program (“Program”), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement in its entirety. If you do not agree to these terms, do not register for or participate in the Program.

2. Definitions

• “Affiliate” or “Referrer” — any individual or entity that has registered for the Program and has been approved or auto-activated.
• “Referred Athlete” or “Prospect” — a prospective student-athlete who visits usacollegesport.com through your Referral Link and subsequently enrolls in our services.
• “Commission” — the monetary payment you earn for each Qualifying Referral, as defined in Section 6.
• “Qualifying Referral” — a referral that satisfies all conditions set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement.
• “Referral Link” — the unique URL assigned to you containing the tracking parameter (e.g., usacollegesport.com/?ref=123).
• “Program” — the USA College Sport Affiliate Program, including all rules, policies, commission structures, and requirements described in this Agreement.

3. Eligibility

To participate in the Program, you must:

1. Be at least eighteen (18) years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater;
2. Have the legal capacity and authority to enter into a binding agreement;
3. Provide accurate, complete, and current registration information;
4. Not be a current employee or paid contractor of USA College Sports LLC, unless specifically authorized in writing by the Company;
5. Not reside in or operate from a jurisdiction where participation in this Program is prohibited by law or regulation; and
6. Comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdiction(s) where you reside and perform your promotional activities, including but not limited to immigration, employment authorization, and tax laws.

4. Enrollment and Registration

Registration is available through the “Become a Referrer” page on usacollegesport.com. Upon completing the registration form, your affiliate account will be auto-activated, and you will receive access to your Referral Link and affiliate dashboard.

You may maintain only one affiliate account. Duplicate registrations may result in immediate termination of all associated accounts. We reserve the right to reject, suspend, or revoke affiliate status at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to suspected violations of this Agreement.

5. Referral Links and Tracking

Upon activation, you will receive a unique Referral Link. When a Prospect clicks your link, a tracking cookie is stored in their browser for a period of ninety (90) days.

Attribution Model: We operate on a first-affiliate attribution basis. If multiple Affiliates refer the same Prospect, the Affiliate whose Referral Link was clicked first will receive credit for the referral.

You are solely responsible for distributing your own Referral Link. We are not responsible for tracking failures caused by browser settings, ad blockers, cookie deletion, VPN usage, or any other third-party interference. While we use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure accurate tracking, we do not guarantee 100% tracking accuracy.

Referral Links may be shared on social media, personal websites, blogs, messaging applications, or email, subject to the Prohibited Conduct provisions in Section 10.

6. Commission Structure and Qualifying Referrals

6.1 Commission Amount

The current commission is a flat rate of USD $200.00 per Qualifying Referral.

6.2 Qualifying Conditions

A referral qualifies for a commission only when all of the following conditions have been met:

1. The Prospect clicked your Referral Link prior to registering with USA College Sport;
2. The Prospect completed registration with USA College Sport;
3. The Prospect received their I-20 document (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status); and
4. The Prospect paid their second installment to USA College Sport.

6.3 Commission Status

Commissions progress through the following statuses:

• Pending — referral detected; conditions not yet fully met.
• Unpaid — all qualifying conditions met; approved for payment.
• Paid — payment has been issued to the Affiliate.
• Rejected — referral did not meet conditions or was otherwise disqualified.

Commission approval is at the sole discretion of USA College Sports LLC. We reserve the right to modify the commission amount for future referrals upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to active Affiliates. Changes will not affect commissions already in Pending or Unpaid status at the time of the change.

7. Payout Terms

• Minimum payout threshold: USD $200.00 (one Qualifying Referral).
• Payout timing: Approved commissions are processed within thirty (30) days of approval.
• Payment methods: PayPal, Wise (TransferWise), or international bank transfer, at the Company’s reasonable discretion based on your location and available infrastructure.
• Currency: All commissions are denominated and paid in United States Dollars (USD). Any currency conversion fees are your responsibility.

We reserve the right to withhold or delay payouts if there are suspected violations of this Agreement, if any Referred Athlete’s enrollment is under review, or if required documentation has not been received.

8. Tax Compliance and Documentation

8.1 Your Tax Obligations

You are solely responsible for determining and fulfilling all tax obligations arising from your participation in the Program, including reporting commission income to the appropriate tax authorities in your jurisdiction and paying any applicable income taxes, value-added taxes (VAT), goods and services taxes (GST), or other levies. We are not your tax advisor. You should consult a qualified tax professional regarding your specific obligations.

8.2 Required Tax Forms

Before your first payout, you must complete and submit the applicable tax form:

We may request updated tax forms periodically or when your circumstances change. Failure to provide or update the required tax form will result in suspension of payouts.

8.3 Withholding and Reporting

We will apply tax withholding as required by applicable U.S. federal and state law. If you are a non-U.S. person who performs services entirely outside the United States and provides a valid W-8BEN certifying foreign status and treaty eligibility (if applicable), withholding may be reduced or eliminated in accordance with the relevant tax treaty between the United States and your country of tax residence.

We may be required to file information returns with the IRS, including but not limited to Form 1099-NEC (for U.S. persons) or Form 1042-S (for non-U.S. persons receiving U.S.-source income), based on your tax status and amounts paid.

9. Location of Promotional Services

9.1 Services Classification

The promotional and marketing activities you perform under this Program — including but not limited to sharing Referral Links, creating content, posting on social media, and communicating with prospective athletes — constitute “services” for purposes of tax sourcing and compensation law. The tax treatment and legal characterization of your commission payments may depend on where you are physically located when performing these activities.

9.2 Services Performed Outside the United States

As a general policy, the Company pays affiliate commissions for promotional services performed outside the United States. If you are physically located outside the United States when performing your promotional activities, you are eligible for commission payments subject to completion of all required documentation (Sections 8 and 9.4) and all other requirements of this Agreement.

9.3 Services Performed Within the United States

If you are physically present in the United States while performing promotional activities under this Program, you are solely responsible for ensuring that you are legally authorized to receive compensation for such activities under all applicable U.S. federal and state laws, including but not limited to immigration laws, employment authorization requirements, and tax regulations.

Without limiting the foregoing, you acknowledge that:

• Certain visa categories restrict or prohibit the holder from engaging in compensated activities outside the scope of their authorized status;
• Receiving compensation for promotional services while present in the United States may constitute “employment” or “compensated activity” under U.S. immigration law, regardless of whether such activity is characterized as “passive” or “active”;
• The Company does not provide legal advice regarding your immigration status, work authorization, or eligibility to receive compensation while in the United States; and
• It is your sole responsibility to verify your authorization before participating in compensated program activities while in the United States.

9.4 Pre-Payout Certification

Before your first commission payment, you will be required to certify the following:

1. The country or countries where you are primarily physically located when performing your promotional activities;
2. Whether you are currently physically present in the United States;
3. Whether you are a “United States person” for federal tax purposes (as defined by the IRS); and
4. If you are physically present in the United States and are not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, whether you hold independent legal authorization to receive compensation for promotional services performed in the United States.

You agree to update your certification promptly if your circumstances change (for example, if you travel to or from the United States).

9.5 Payout Eligibility Based on Location and Authorization

9.6 No Immigration or Employment Authorization Advice

Nothing in this Agreement, and no aspect of the Program, constitutes immigration advice, employment authorization advice, or legal advice of any kind. Participation in the Program does not constitute employment, and no employer-employee, employer-sponsor, or agency relationship is created by this Agreement. See also Section 16 (Independent Contractor Status).

9.7 Indemnification for Misrepresentation

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless USA College Sports LLC, its owners, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, penalties, fines, damages, costs, and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to your misrepresentation of your physical location, work authorization status, tax residency, or any other certification provided under this Section 9.

10. Prohibited Conduct

1. Send unsolicited bulk emails, messages, or direct messages (spam) to promote your Referral Link;

3. Make false, misleading, or deceptive claims about USA College Sport’s services, pricing, success rates, or outcomes;
4. Impersonate USA College Sport or claim to be an employee, agent, or official representative of the Company;
5. Bid on or purchase paid advertising using USA College Sport’s brand name, trademarks, or confusingly similar terms (e.g., Google Ads, Facebook Ads targeting “USA College Sport”);
6. Engage in cookie stuffing, click fraud, or any form of automated or artificial referral manipulation;
7. Create fake reviews, fabricated testimonials, or misleading endorsements;
8. Post Referral Links on coupon, discount, or deal aggregator websites;

10. Harass, pressure, or coerce any Prospect into using your Referral Link or enrolling with USA College Sport;
11. Violate any applicable law or regulation, including data protection laws (such as GDPR, CCPA, or equivalent) when collecting, storing, or sharing Prospect information; or
12. Engage in any activity that could harm the reputation, goodwill, or business interests of USA College Sport.

Violation of any of the above may result in immediate termination of your affiliate account, forfeiture of all pending commissions, and clawback of previously paid commissions.

11. Intellectual Property

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the USA College Sport name and logo solely for the purpose of promoting the Program. You agree that you will not:

• Modify, distort, or create derivative works from the Company’s logos, trademarks, or brand assets;
