Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using the USN website at usn.network, the USN mobile application, or any related services (collectively, the Platform), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not use the Platform. USN is operated by Deckard Enterprise International, based in Kansas, United States.

2. Platform Purpose and Mission

USN — Unfiltered Sports Network is a media and content platform dedicated exclusively to women's sports. The Platform provides athlete-authored stories, journals, scores, rankings, athlete profiles, collegiate coverage, and related content. USN exists to give female athletes a direct, unfiltered voice to fans without editorial interference from sponsors, teams, agents, or media filters. This mission is permanent and non-negotiable. USN will never pivot away from women's sports.

3. Accounts and Registration

You may create a free account on the Platform. By creating an account you represent that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete, and that you will maintain and promptly update your account information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must be at least 13 years of age to create an account. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian's permission to use the Platform.

USN reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account at any time for violation of these Terms, for conduct that USN determines in its sole discretion is harmful to the Platform, other users, or USN's mission, or for any other reason with or without notice.

4. Athlete Verification

Athletes may apply for verified status on the Platform. Athlete verification confirms your identity as a real, credible athlete and unlocks story submission, profile features, and referral program participation. By submitting a verification application you confirm that all information provided is accurate, that you are the athlete described, and that you consent to USN verifying your identity using the information provided.

False, misleading, or fraudulent verification applications will be rejected and may result in permanent ineligibility. USN reserves the right to reject any application for any reason and to revoke verified status at any time.

Athletes never pay fees to apply for verification, to publish content, or to participate on the Platform. This is a permanent platform rule.

5. Athlete Content and Intellectual Property

Athletes retain full ownership of the stories, journals, and other content they submit to the Platform. By submitting content to USN, you grant USN a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to publish, display, distribute, archive, promote, and otherwise use your submitted content on the Platform and in connection with USN's mission, marketing, and promotional activities. This license continues for as long as your content remains on the Platform.

You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to submit all content you provide, that your content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights, that your content does not contain defamatory, harassing, threatening, or unlawful material, that your content does not violate any person's privacy rights, and that your content complies with applicable NIL rules and regulations if you are a collegiate athlete.

USN publishes athlete stories as submitted. USN does not edit, alter, or modify athlete content. Athletes are solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of their submitted content. USN reserves the right to remove content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

All USN trademarks, logos, branding, the Beacon Mark, website content, app content, design, and platform infrastructure are owned by Deckard Enterprise International and may not be used without express written permission.

6. Collegiate Athletes and NIL Compliance

Collegiate athletes who participate on the Platform are solely responsible for ensuring that their participation, any content they submit, and any compensation they receive through the Platform complies with their institution's NIL policies, conference rules, and applicable NCAA, NAIA, or other governing body regulations. USN does not provide NIL compliance advice and makes no representations regarding the eligibility or compliance of any athlete's participation on the Platform.

Collegiate athletes who participate in USN's Athlete Referral Program are responsible for disclosing any resulting compensation to their institution's compliance office as required by their institution's policies. By enrolling in the Athlete Referral Program, collegiate athletes confirm that they have reviewed their institution's NIL reporting requirements and accept sole responsibility for any required disclosures.

7. Athlete Referral Program

Verified athletes may participate in USN's Athlete Referral Program. When a sponsor signs a qualifying 12-month sponsorship agreement with USN using a verified athlete's referral code, USN pays that athlete 50% of qualifying net sponsorship spend for the first 90 days after the sponsor's campaign activates. Referral program terms are subject to change with notice.

Referral program eligibility requires verified athlete status in good standing. Referral payouts are subject to USN review and may be withheld or forfeited in cases of fraud, misrepresentation, violation of these Terms, or conduct detrimental to USN or its mission. Athletes are responsible for any applicable taxes on referral payments received. USN does not provide tax advice.

Founding Athletes — the first 10 verified athletes per sport — receive permanent Founding Athlete recognition on the Platform. This recognition has no independent monetary value and does not guarantee any specific financial benefit beyond referral program participation.

8. Sponsorship Terms

Sponsors who participate on the Platform agree that their sponsorship supports athlete visibility and platform operations only. Sponsors have no editorial control over the Platform or over athlete content. Sponsors cannot edit, approve, suppress, influence, or rank athlete stories, journals, or other content. This restriction is absolute and permanent.

All sponsorships are subject to USN review including brand safety, mission alignment, and platform suitability. USN reserves the right to reject any sponsorship application for any reason. Accepted sponsorships are subject to USN's Refund Policy.

Sponsors who violate these Terms or whose conduct USN determines is inconsistent with the Platform's mission may have their sponsorship terminated without refund.

9. Equity Partner Program

The USN Equity Partner Program allows individuals and organizations to contribute to USN's mission at various tiers. Equity Partner contributions support USN's operations, coverage, and mission to expand visibility and opportunity for women's sports. USN intends to direct a portion of eligible net proceeds from Equity Partner contributions to women's sports initiatives. The specific recipient organization and donation percentage will be confirmed and publicly disclosed once formal arrangements are documented.

Equity Partner contributions are not currently represented as tax-deductible charitable donations unless expressly stated in writing by USN. Equity Partner contributions are subject to USN's Refund Policy.

10. Fan Pass Subscriptions

Fan Pass subscriptions provide access to premium content on the Platform. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. Cancellation stops future renewal but does not automatically create a refund for the current billing period. All subscription payments are processed via Stripe and subject to USN's Refund Policy.

11. Payments and Billing

All payments on the Platform are processed by Stripe. USN does not store full credit card or banking information. By making a payment you agree to Stripe's terms of service in addition to these Terms. Payment processor fees, bank fees, chargeback fees, and other third-party fees may not be refundable.

Recurring payments will be charged automatically on their renewal date until canceled. You are responsible for ensuring your payment method remains valid. USN reserves the right to suspend access to paid features if payment fails.
