Terms Of Service

Effective Date: July 24, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of websites, online properties, platforms, programs, products, content, and services owned or operated by Stapleton Sports Group ("SSG," "we," "us," or "our").

SSG operates multiple business lines, brands, programs, and online properties. These include athlete representation and advisory services, athlete marketing and NIL services, consulting and strategy services, educational programs and resources, and offerings operated under Sports Agent Training, NBA Agent Exam, NBA Exam Prep, and other SSG brands or programs.

These Terms apply to stapletonsportsgroup.com, nbaagentexam.com, nbaexamprep.com, Sports Agent Training websites and pages, and any other websites, landing pages, checkout pages, digital platforms, social media experiences, or online properties owned or operated by SSG (collectively, the "Sites").

These Terms also apply, where appropriate, to products and services offered through the Sites (collectively, the "Services").

By accessing a Site, submitting information, purchasing a product, enrolling in a program, booking a service, or otherwise using our Sites or Services, you agree to these Terms.

1. SSG SERVICES

SSG may provide or facilitate services including, without limitation:

Athlete representation and advisory services;

NIL, marketing, branding, and commercial opportunity services;

Recruiting, career, and professional strategy;

Consulting and business advisory services;

Sports industry education;

Sports agent certification and licensing education;

NBA agent exam preparation;

Courses, workshops, and educational programs;

Private and group educational sessions;

Study guides, planners, templates, checklists, and digital downloads;

Videos, recorded educational content, and other resources; and

Other sports, business, consulting, representation, advisory, marketing, or educational services offered by SSG.

The availability, scope, pricing, eligibility requirements, and terms applicable to individual Services may vary.

2. ATHLETE REPRESENTATION AND ADVISORY SERVICES

SSG provides athlete representation, advisory, NIL, marketing, recruiting strategy, career strategy, and related professional services.

Visiting an SSG website, submitting an inquiry, sending SSG information about an athlete, communicating with an SSG representative, or interacting with SSG through social media does not, by itself, create an agent-client, representative-client, fiduciary, advisory, or other professional relationship.

A formal representation or advisory relationship exists only when established through an applicable written agreement or as otherwise provided by law.

Where an athlete, parent, client, organization, or other party enters into a separate written representation, advisory, marketing, consulting, NIL, or services agreement with SSG, that separate agreement governs that professional relationship.

If a provision of that signed agreement conflicts with these general Terms concerning the services covered by that agreement, the signed agreement will control to the extent of the conflict.

Representation and advisory services may also be subject to applicable federal or state law, league or players association regulations, institutional rules, governing-body requirements, collective bargaining agreements, licensing requirements, and other applicable rules.

3. EDUCATIONAL SERVICES AND SPORTS AGENT TRAINING

SSG provides educational products and services, including offerings through Sports Agent Training, NBA Agent Exam, NBA Exam Prep, and related programs.

Educational products may include:

Sports agent certification and licensing guides;

NBA agent exam study guides;

Study planners;

Binder organization resources;

Computation materials;

Practice questions, mock examinations, and quizzes;

Certification application resources;

Courses and workshops;

Private or group preparation sessions;

Videos, templates, checklists, and digital downloads; and

Other educational materials.

These products and services are provided for educational and informational purposes.

Purchasing or completing an SSG educational product or program does not guarantee certification, licensure, examination success, employment, clients, representation opportunities, revenue, business success, or any other particular outcome.

Users remain responsible for satisfying all current requirements imposed by the applicable league, players association, governing body, institution, certification authority, licensing authority, or other organization.

4. NO AFFILIATION OR ENDORSEMENT

Unless expressly stated otherwise, SSG and its educational brands and programs are independent providers.

References to third-party leagues, players associations, governing bodies, examinations, certification programs, institutions, or organizations do not imply affiliation, sponsorship, approval, or endorsement.

Without limiting the foregoing, Sports Agent Training, NBA Agent Exam, and NBA Exam Prep are not sponsored by, endorsed by, or operated on behalf of the NBA, NBPA, WNBA, WNBPA, NFL, NFLPA, MLB, MLBPA, NCAA, FIFA, or other sports governing or certification organizations unless SSG expressly states otherwise.

Third-party names, trademarks, logos, regulations, collective bargaining agreements, and other materials remain the property of their respective owners.

5. ACCURACY AND CHANGING INDUSTRY INFORMATION

Sports is a rapidly changing industry.

League rules, players association regulations, certification requirements, application procedures, examination content, fees, timelines, NIL laws, NCAA or institutional policies, eligibility standards, collective bargaining agreements, and other requirements may change.

SSG makes reasonable efforts to provide accurate and useful information, but we cannot guarantee that every rule, fee, deadline, procedure, policy, or requirement will remain current after publication.

Users should verify time-sensitive or consequential requirements through the applicable official source before making legal, financial, eligibility, certification, recruiting, representation, or professional decisions.

6. NO LEGAL, TAX, FINANCIAL, OR ELIGIBILITY ADVICE

Unless expressly provided pursuant to a separate professional engagement by an appropriately qualified professional, general information available through our Sites, educational products, social media content, courses, and informational communications does not constitute legal, tax, accounting, investment, financial, medical, or other regulated professional advice.

Educational discussions of contracts, collective bargaining agreements, NIL rules, NCAA rules, eligibility requirements, certification regulations, or similar subjects are provided for informational or educational purposes unless expressly stated otherwise.

7. PURCHASES AND PAYMENT

When purchasing a product or service, you agree to:

Provide accurate billing and account information;

Pay the charges presented at checkout;

Comply with applicable payment-plan terms; and

Maintain valid payment information for installment or recurring payments where applicable.

Prices, product availability, payment options, bonuses, promotions, and offers may change.

Some purchases may be processed by third-party payment processors. Their terms and privacy practices may also apply to transactions they process.

8. DIGITAL PRODUCTS AND REFUNDS

Because digital products may be delivered immediately, sales of downloadable or immediately accessible digital products are final once access or delivery has been provided, except where a different refund policy is expressly stated at checkout or where applicable law requires otherwise.

This may include study guides, planners, templates, recorded educational materials, computation resources, checklists, application resources, and other downloadable or immediately accessible products.

Live courses, coaching, consulting, workshops, appointments, and other Services may have separate cancellation, refund, attendance, transfer, or rescheduling policies presented at purchase or in a separate agreement. Those terms are incorporated into these Terms.

Failure to download, access, attend, complete, or use a purchased product or Service does not automatically entitle the purchaser to a refund.

If you experience a billing error or technical issue preventing access to a purchase, contact SSG so the issue can be reviewed.

9. PERSONAL-USE LICENSE FOR EDUCATIONAL PRODUCTS

Unless a product is expressly sold with broader licensing rights, purchasing an SSG educational product grants the purchaser a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license for personal educational use.

Purchase does not transfer ownership of the underlying intellectual property.

Without prior written permission from SSG, purchasers may not:

Share purchased files or downloads with others;

Share account or course credentials;

Copy materials for distribution;

Upload materials to shared drives, file-sharing services, public repositories, online communities, or other distribution systems;

Resell or sublicense materials;

Record and redistribute educational sessions;

Remove ownership or copyright notices;

Repackage SSG materials as their own;

Use SSG materials to develop substantially copied competing commercial products; or

Commercially distribute or exploit SSG proprietary materials.

Each individual purchase is intended for one user unless expressly sold as a group, team, school, organization, or enterprise license.

10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Unless otherwise indicated, original content created or owned by SSG, including branding, written materials, proprietary educational content, graphics, videos, course materials, templates, organizational systems, original explanations, marketing materials, website content, and other intellectual property, is owned by or licensed to Stapleton Sports Group and protected by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of SSG intellectual property.

Third-party intellectual property referenced by SSG remains the property of its respective owner.

11. USER SUBMISSIONS AND INFORMATION

You may voluntarily submit information to SSG through contact forms, athlete questionnaires, applications, intake forms, direct messages, email, social media, or other channels.

You represent that information you submit is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the authority to provide it.

Submitting athlete information to SSG does not guarantee evaluation, response, representation, recruitment assistance, or acceptance as an SSG client.

Do not submit confidential information through public social media comments or other public channels.

12. SOCIAL MEDIA AND AUTOMATED COMMUNICATIONS

SSG may communicate with users through social media platforms, direct messages, forms, CRM systems, automated messaging tools, and marketing automation.

For example, a user who comments a designated keyword on an SSG social media post may receive an automated direct message containing information or a requested link.

Interactions occurring through third-party platforms are also subject to those platforms' terms and privacy practices.

13. EMAIL AND SMS COMMUNICATIONS

If you provide contact information and applicable consent, SSG may send transactional, informational, educational, promotional, or marketing communications consistent with that consent and applicable law.

Marketing emails will include an available method to unsubscribe where required.

Marketing text messages may provide applicable opt-out instructions, such as replying STOP.

Consent to receive marketing communications is not a condition of purchase where prohibited by law.

Message and data rates may apply to SMS communications.

14. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND LINKS

SSG may use or link to third-party services, including:

Payment processors;

CRM systems;

Social media platforms;

Course platforms;

Scheduling systems;

Email and SMS providers;

Analytics providers;

Advertising platforms;

Cloud and technology providers; and

Other business service providers.

SSG does not control independent third-party services and is not responsible for their separate content, availability, security, privacy practices, or terms.

15. TESTIMONIALS AND RESULTS

Testimonials, client experiences, student experiences, case studies, examination outcomes, athlete outcomes, business results, or other examples displayed by SSG represent individual experiences and do not guarantee future results.

Results vary based on individual circumstances and factors outside SSG's control.

16. ACCEPTABLE USE

You agree not to:

Use our Sites or Services for unlawful purposes;

Attempt unauthorized access to systems or accounts;

Circumvent access restrictions;

Interfere with Site security or operation;

Scrape or systematically extract proprietary content without authorization;

Distribute malicious software;

Impersonate another person;

Misuse SSG intellectual property;

Use our Services to infringe another party's rights; or

Violate applicable law or these Terms.

17. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Sites, general website content, and educational materials are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

SSG does not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, certification outcomes, examination results, recruiting outcomes, athlete opportunities, NIL opportunities, contracts, professional opportunities, or business results.

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.

18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, SSG and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, representatives, and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from use of the Sites or Services.

SSG is not responsible for independent decisions made by leagues, players associations, schools, governing bodies, certification authorities, employers, teams, athletes, brands, sponsors, or other third parties.

For a purchased consumer product or educational Service, to the fullest extent permitted by law, SSG's aggregate liability arising from that particular purchase will not exceed the amount actually paid to SSG for the product or Service giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in this section limits obligations or liabilities established under a separate signed representation, advisory, consulting, marketing, NIL, or services agreement to the extent those obligations cannot or should not be governed by these general website Terms.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain limitations of liability, so some provisions may not apply to you.

19. INDEMNIFICATION

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless SSG and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, representatives, and agents from claims, liabilities, damages, or expenses resulting from your unlawful use of the Sites or Services, material violation of these Terms, or infringement of another party's rights.

20. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

SSG may restrict or terminate access to a Site, digital product, course, account, or other online Service when we reasonably believe a user has materially violated these Terms, engaged in fraud, compromised Site security, or unlawfully distributed proprietary materials.

Termination does not eliminate payment obligations already incurred.

Termination of an athlete representation, advisory, consulting, NIL, marketing, or other separately contracted professional relationship is governed by the applicable written agreement and applicable law or regulations rather than this section alone.

21. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising solely under these Terms will be subject to the jurisdiction of appropriate courts in Maryland unless applicable law requires otherwise.

A separate written agreement with SSG may contain its own governing-law, dispute-resolution, or jurisdiction provisions, which will control for disputes arising under that agreement.

22. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

SSG may update these Terms to reflect changes in our business, Sites, Services, technology, or legal obligations.

The current version will be posted with its effective date.

Where required by applicable law, additional notice may be provided for material changes.
