Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using RecruitTruth (“the Platform,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Platform. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time; continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Platform. Athletes under 18 must have parental or guardian consent. By creating an account, you represent that you meet these requirements and that all information you provide is accurate and complete.

3. Athlete Accounts

Athletes create profiles containing athletic, academic, and personal information. By submitting your profile, you agree to:

• Provide only truthful, accurate information about your athletic performance, statistics, awards, and academic record.
• Not exaggerate, fabricate, or misrepresent any data point in your profile.
• Understand that your RT Score is calculated from your submitted data and may change if data is found to be inaccurate.
• Accept that profiles may be flagged automatically or by our team if submitted data appears inconsistent or inflated.
• Grant RecruitTruth a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display your profile information, including any athlete biography you submit, to subscribing coaches through the Platform.

Notification Consent. By creating an account, you consent to receive email notifications regarding your profile activity, including notifications when subscribing coaches express recruiting interest, submit a scholarship range, update your recruiting status, or take other recruiting actions through the Platform. You may manage notification preferences by contacting support@recruittruth.com.

Score Integrity. RecruitTruth employs proprietary mechanisms to maintain the integrity of the RT Score. Scores are subject to a floor equal to the athlete's highest previously achieved score when updated through self-reported data changes, except in the case of a documented GPA decrease or an administrator-initiated correction. This policy exists to protect athletes from inadvertent score reductions due to data entry errors while maintaining data accuracy.

4. Coach Accounts

Coaches and institutions subscribe to access athlete profiles. By subscribing, you agree to:

• Use athlete data solely for legitimate collegiate recruiting purposes.
• Not share, resell, or distribute athlete profile information outside your institution.
• Comply with all applicable NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA, NCCAA, and any other governing body recruiting rules, contact periods, and permissible recruiting activities. The Platform does not enforce compliance with governing body rules, and coaches may not use the Platform to circumvent or violate any such rules.
• Not use the Platform to contact, harass, or communicate with athletes in violation of any governing body's rules or in any manner that is intimidating, deceptive, or coercive.
• Acknowledge that all Recruiting Actions you initiate through the Platform (including interest signals, scholarship ranges, recruiting status designations, and document uploads) are transmitted in good faith and are accurate to the best of your knowledge.

All Recruiting Actions are subject to the additional provisions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 below.

5. Coach-to-Athlete Communications and Recruiting Actions

RecruitTruth provides subscribing coaches the ability to communicate recruiting interest to athletes through the Platform via features including recruiting status designations, interest signals, scholarship range disclosures, and document uploads (collectively, “Recruiting Actions”). By using these features, coaches agree to the following:

(a) Communication Facilitation Only. RecruitTruth acts solely as a technology intermediary that facilitates communication between coaches and athletes. RecruitTruth is not a party to, and expressly disclaims any responsibility for, any recruiting agreement, scholarship commitment, enrollment decision, or other arrangement that may arise from or be communicated through Recruiting Actions on the Platform.

(b) Coach Responsibility. Coaches are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and lawfulness of all information communicated through Recruiting Actions, including but not limited to scholarship ranges and uploaded documents. By initiating a Recruiting Action, the coach or institution represents and warrants that the information communicated is made in good faith and is not materially false, misleading, or in violation of any applicable law or governing body rule.

(c) No Binding Commitments. No Recruiting Action transmitted through the Platform, including any scholarship range disclosure or uploaded document, constitutes a binding offer, letter of intent, National Letter of Intent (NLI), scholarship agreement, or legally enforceable commitment of any kind. Any binding agreement between a coach, institution, and athlete must be executed through the official channels required by the applicable governing body, institution, and applicable law. Athletes and their families are strongly encouraged to consult qualified legal counsel before relying on any Recruiting Action received through the Platform.

(d) Governing Body Compliance. Coaches remain solely responsible for ensuring that all Recruiting Actions comply with the rules and regulations of the NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA, NCCAA, and any other applicable governing body. RecruitTruth does not monitor Recruiting Actions for governing body compliance. Any violation of governing body rules through use of the Platform is solely the responsibility of the coach or institution.

(e) Athlete Disclosure. Athletes may receive notification of certain Recruiting Actions through the Platform or via email. The identity of the initiating coach is not automatically disclosed to athletes who have not purchased the Full Report; however, the name of the coach's institution may be disclosed. RecruitTruth does not warrant that such notifications are timely, complete, or error-free.

6. Document Uploads

Subscribing coaches may upload documents — including offer letters, scholarship summaries, and supporting materials — to the Platform for transmission to specific athletes (“Uploaded Documents”). By uploading any document, the coach or institution agrees to the following terms, which govern all Uploaded Documents without exception:

(a) Sole Coach Responsibility. The coach or institution uploading a document bears sole and exclusive responsibility for the content, accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of such document. RecruitTruth does not review, screen, verify, endorse, authenticate, or approve any Uploaded Document prior to or following transmission. The presence of a document on the Platform does not constitute any endorsement, validation, or verification by RecruitTruth.

(b) Disclaimer of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RECRUITTRUTH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO UPLOADED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LIABILITY FOR INACCURATE SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION, MISREPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE TERMS OR AVAILABILITY OF SCHOLARSHIPS, BREACH OF ANY OBLIGATION DESCRIBED IN AN UPLOADED DOCUMENT, OR ANY CLAIM BY AN ATHLETE OR THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF RELIANCE ON AN UPLOADED DOCUMENT. RECRUITTRUTH MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO UPLOADED DOCUMENTS.

(c) Informational Use Only. Uploaded Documents are made available through the Platform for informational purposes only. No document uploaded to the Platform should be construed as a legally binding agreement, enforceable offer, commitment, or obligation. Coaches are expressly prohibited from uploading signed or executed National Letters of Intent, binding scholarship agreements, or any document that is intended to or purports to create a legally enforceable obligation between the coach, institution, and athlete through the Platform. Such documents must be executed through official channels outside the Platform.

(d) No Monitoring Obligation. RecruitTruth has no obligation to monitor, review, screen, or retain Uploaded Documents and may remove stored documents at any time without prior notice. RecruitTruth does not monitor Uploaded Documents for accuracy, governing body compliance, or legal sufficiency.

(e) Prohibited Content. Coaches may not upload documents that are illegal, fraudulent, defamatory, obscene, or that violate any applicable law or third-party intellectual property rights. RecruitTruth reserves the right, but not the obligation, to remove any Uploaded Document in its sole discretion without prior notice.

(f) Indemnification by Uploading Coach. By uploading a document to the Platform, the uploading coach or institution agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless RecruitTruth and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to such Uploaded Document, including any claim by an athlete, institution, governing body, or third party.

7. Parent and Guardian Use

The Platform provides resources and information for parents and guardians of athlete users. Parents and guardians who access the Platform on behalf of a minor athlete agree to the following:

• You have obtained the informed consent of your minor child to create, access, or manage an account on their behalf and to submit their personal, athletic, and academic information to the Platform.
• You are responsible for supervising your minor child's use of the Platform and for ensuring compliance with these Terms on your child's behalf.
• The athlete bears sole responsibility for the accuracy of profile data submitted, regardless of the extent of parental or guardian involvement in account creation or management.
• Communications sent to parents or guardians through the Platform regarding their child's profile activity are provided as a courtesy. RecruitTruth does not represent that such communications are comprehensive, complete, or a substitute for the athlete's own account notifications.
• RecruitTruth does not provide individualized recruiting advice, legal advice, or financial aid counseling to parents, guardians, or athletes. Information provided on the Platform is educational and informational only.

8. User-Generated Content

Athletes may submit a personal biography (“Bio”) for display on their profile to subscribing coaches. By submitting a Bio or any other user-generated content to the Platform, you agree to the following:

• You represent and warrant that the content is accurate, truthful, and does not infringe any third-party intellectual property, privacy, or other rights.
• You grant RecruitTruth a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to display, transmit, store, and reproduce the content within the Platform for the purpose of athlete profile presentation to subscribing coaches for the duration of your account.
• RecruitTruth does not verify the accuracy of user-generated content and reserves the right to remove any content that violates these Terms or that we determine, in our sole discretion, is inappropriate, false, or misleading.
• You are solely responsible for all user-generated content you submit and for any consequences arising from its submission.

9. RT Score and Evaluations

The RT Score is a proprietary composite evaluation based on athlete-submitted data. It is an informational tool only and does not constitute a guarantee of athletic ability, scholarship eligibility, recruiting interest, or recruiting outcome. RecruitTruth does not guarantee that any athlete will receive scholarship offers, roster spots, or coaching contact as a result of using the Platform. School and program recommendations generated by the Platform are informational in nature and do not constitute admissions guidance, academic counseling, or a guarantee of admission or athletic eligibility at any institution.

10. Payments and Refunds

Certain features require payment. All payments are processed securely through Stripe. By purchasing a report, subscription, or service, you agree to the following:

• All sales of one-time reports and services (Full Report, Film & Social Review) are final and non-refundable once the report is delivered or access is granted.
• Subscriptions may be cancelled at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; no partial refunds are issued for unused time within a billing period.
• If you believe you were charged in error, contact us at support@recruittruth.com within 30 days of the charge.
• RecruitTruth reserves the right to modify pricing at any time. Price changes will not affect active subscription periods but will apply at the next renewal.

11. Data Integrity and Flags

RecruitTruth automatically monitors profiles for patterns inconsistent with normal athletic development. Profiles may be flagged and that flag made visible to subscribing coaches. We reserve the right to flag, suspend, or remove any profile that we determine, in our sole discretion, contains materially false or misleading information. Flagged athletes may contact support@recruittruth.com to dispute a flag. RecruitTruth is not liable for any consequences an athlete experiences as a result of a profile being flagged, including loss of recruiting opportunities.

12. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• Submit false, misleading, or fabricated athletic, academic, or personal data.
• Attempt to manipulate your RT Score through artificial, dishonest, or unauthorized means.
• Upload documents or content that are illegal, fraudulent, defamatory, obscene, or that violate any applicable law or third-party rights.
• Scrape, harvest, or systematically collect data from the Platform without written permission.
• Use the Platform to send unsolicited communications, spam, or to harass any athlete, coach, or other user.
• Impersonate any person, coach, institution, or governing body.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, or data.
• Use Recruiting Action features for any purpose other than legitimate collegiate recruiting, including to deceive, coerce, or mislead athletes.

13. Intellectual Property

All Platform content, branding, scoring algorithms, matching systems, and design are the proprietary property of RecruitTruth. You may not reproduce, copy, or distribute any part of the Platform without written permission. Athlete-submitted content, including profile data and bios, remains the property of the athlete but is licensed to RecruitTruth for display within the Platform as described herein.

14. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. RECRUITTRUTH DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
