If you are under 18, you must possess verifiable parental or legal guardian consent before engaging in any NIL deals through the platform. This consent must be provided to Launchpoint when requested.
2. Legal Right to Monetize NIL
By registering on Launchpoint and entering into agreements with brands, you confirm that you have the full legal right to commercialize your Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) under applicable laws, NCAA regulations, and institutional policies. You acknowledge that you are not violating any eligibility rules, team agreements, or third-party contracts.
3. Compliance with Institutional and State Laws
You agree that it is your responsibility to comply with all relevant NIL laws, university policies, and NCAA/NAIA/NJCAA regulations. You further acknowledge that Launchpoint does not provide legal or compliance advice and that you should consult your school's compliance office or legal counsel if you have any questions.
4. Accuracy of Information
By signing up, you represent and warrant that all information you provide to Launchpoint, including but not limited to your age, identity, and eligibility to participate in NIL activities, is accurate and truthful. Any misrepresentation may result in suspension or termination of your account.
5. Payout Structure
Payouts for NIL deals facilitated through Launchpoint are determined based on the performance of your content. Specifically, payments are calculated based on the total number of views your video receives within two weeks of posting. Videos you post are expected to remain live for at least one year. By participating in an NIL deal, you acknowledge and agree to this payout structure. Final compensation amounts will be determined based on the agreed-upon rate outlined in each campaign agreement.
Launchpoint reserves the right to withhold payment if there is reason to suspect that an athlete's eligibility as a college athlete is in question or if fraudulent activity, such as viewbotting, is detected. Viewbotting or artificially inflating video views, engagement, or other metrics is strictly prohibited and constitutes a violation of these Terms and Conditions.
Boosting videos via platform tools (e.g. Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, etc.) must have explicit written permission from the brand or Launchpoint. Boosting without prior authorization can result in your links being rejected.
