Terms of Service

1. Parties and Platform

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you (“User”) and 25 Alpha LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“25 Alpha,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operator of pryze.ai and the PRYZE™ platform (“Platform”). By creating an account, clicking a registration button, or otherwise accessing the Platform, you accept these Terms.

2. Age Eligibility by Tier

PRYZE™ serves student-athletes from Pre-K through college graduation across four tiers. Eligibility and parental consent requirements differ by tier:

3. Parental Consent for Users Under 13

In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without Verifiable Parental Consent (VPC). The VPC process:

1. Athlete indicates age during registration that is below 13
2. Platform immediately halts registration and collects parent/guardian email only
3. Parent receives a consent verification email at the address provided
4. Parent reviews these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the COPPA Notice at pryze.ai/coppa
5. Parent clicks the consent link to approve — account is created only after this step
6. Parent receives dashboard access to monitor, modify, or revoke the account at any time

A parent may revoke consent at any time by emailing info@25alpha.ai. Upon revocation, all data is deleted within 14 days.

4. Account Registration and Responsibilities

You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current registration information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. Notify us immediately at info@25alpha.ai if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

One account per person. You may not create an account on behalf of another individual without their explicit consent (except parents registering minor children under the VPC process). Fake accounts, bots, and automated registrations are prohibited and subject to immediate termination.

5. Permitted Use and Restrictions

You may use the Platform to:

• →Create and manage your student-athlete profile
• →Access AI intelligence features appropriate to your tier
• →Connect with verified college coaches through opt-in contact requests
• →Prepare NIL documentation packages for your own review and submission
• →Access academic fit analysis, roster gap intelligence, and recruiting recommendations

You may not:

• ✗Scrape, copy, or redistribute Platform data without written permission from 25 Alpha LLC
• ✗Create false or misleading athlete profiles
• ✗Impersonate any college coach, athletic director, or platform representative
• ✗Use the Platform to solicit payment from student-athletes in exchange for recruiting services
• ✗Interfere with Platform security, conduct penetration testing, or probe vulnerabilities without written authorization
• ✗Use the Platform in any way that violates applicable NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA, or state athletic association rules

6. NIL Disclaimer

The BROKER agent prepares NIL deal documentation packages — including deal summaries, brand profiles, estimated values, tax disclosure reminders, and pre-filled form fields — to assist athletes in completing their own submissions. All final NIL submissions are made by the athlete or their authorized representative directly at NILGo.com or the applicable platform.

NCAA Bylaw 13.14.3 and applicable state NIL laws require athlete-executed final submission. PRYZE™ is not an NIL agent, does not negotiate on the athlete's behalf, and does not make representations about the probability, value, or availability of any NIL opportunity.

Athletes are solely responsible for: (a) ensuring NIL activities comply with their institution's rules and applicable state law; (b) consulting their athletic director and compliance office before executing any deal; (c) accurately reporting NIL income to applicable tax authorities. PRYZE™ information is educational and preparatory only.

7. Founding Partner School Benefits

Partner institutions with permanently free access to PRYZE™ features include: Saint James Performance Academy (Springfield, VA) — Founding Partner; Largo High School (Prince George's County, MD) — Community Partner; and Playmakers Elite Athletic Training (DMV Region) — partner access. See pryze.ai/partners for the complete structure.

Founding Partner benefits are institutional, not individual. Benefits are tied to enrollment at the Founding Partner institution. Athletes who transfer away from a Founding Partner institution retain their Plank Owner status but no longer receive the institutional free-tier benefit. The receiving institution's pricing terms apply.

Founding Partner benefits are non-transferable, non-monetary, and have no cash value. They may not be assigned, sold, or conveyed to any other institution or individual. 25 Alpha LLC reserves the right to verify current enrollment status to confirm benefit eligibility.

8. Plank Owner Program

The first 100 athletes to register receive Plank Owner status with a permanently reserved profile subdomain (firstname-lastname.pryze.ai) and a badge tier (Gold: #1–10; Silver: #11–50; Bronze: #51–100). Plank Owner numbers and badge tiers are locked permanently at registration.

Plank Owner subdomains are non-transferable and cannot be sold, assigned, or auctioned. Plank Owner status is tied to the individual athlete. Registration for the Plank Owner campaign is free and requires no credit card. Plank Owner accounts are subject to these Terms in full.

9. Subscriptions and Billing

Free tiers (Explorer, Foundation, and base Recruit and Commit profiles) require no payment and never expire. Premium AI intelligence tiers are billed monthly or annually via Stripe. Annual plans include a discount disclosed at the time of purchase.

Minors under 13 may not make purchases. A parent or guardian account is required to subscribe to any paid tier for a minor athlete. You may cancel any subscription at any time. Upon cancellation, your account and data are retained for 30 days and then deleted unless you reactivate.

All fees are stated in U.S. dollars. We do not store full credit card numbers — payment processing is handled by Stripe. Pricing is subject to change with 30 days' notice to active subscribers.

10. Intellectual Property

The PRYZE™ name, mark, platform software, AI agent names (SCOUT, RADAR, ARCHITECT, COMPASS, GHOST, CHARACTER, CAMPUS, MIRROR, SHIELD, PULSE, BROKER, WALLET, VITALS, VISIT), and all original content are the intellectual property of 25 Alpha LLC. All rights reserved.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

25 Alpha LLC does not warrant that: (a) the Platform will be uninterrupted or error-free; (b) AI-generated fit scores, recruiting recommendations, or NIL valuations are accurate or complete; (c) use of the Platform will result in any athletic, academic, or financial outcome. PRYZE™ intelligence is educational and preparatory — not a guarantee of any result.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, 25 ALPHA LLC AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY, LOSS OF NIL OPPORTUNITIES, LOST SCHOLARSHIP OFFERS, OR LOST PROFITS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

13. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to the Platform or these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions.

14. Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform (collectively, “Disputes”) shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules.

15. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated Terms at pryze.ai/terms with a new “Last Updated” date and notify active users by email at least 14 days before material changes take effect. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
