Terms and Conditions

Last updated: July 2, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Agreement") govern the services provided by The Recruiting Bridge ("Company," "we," "us") to the purchasing parent or legal guardian ("Client") on behalf of the student athlete ("Athlete"). By purchasing our services, you agree to this Agreement in full.

1. The Services

The Company operates as a recruiting assistance and marketing service and provides done-for-you college recruiting outreach. The Company does not negotiate with coaches or institutions and does not guarantee scholarships, offers, or admission. Services include:

2. The Performance Guarantee

TEN (10) QUALIFYING COACH CONTACTS WITHIN NINETY (90) DAYS OF THE GUARANTEE START DATE, OR A FULL REFUND OF FEES PAID.

The first fourteen (14) days after purchase are a setup and warm-up period. During this period the Company builds the Athlete's coach target list, creates the shared email account, and warms up the email infrastructure to protect deliverability. The "Guarantee Start Date" is the fifteenth (15th) day after the Effective Date. The ninety (90) day guarantee window begins on the Guarantee Start Date.

A "Qualifying Coach Contact" means either:

Automated replies, out-of-office messages, and messages from non-coaching staff do not count as Qualifying Coach Contacts.

The guarantee applies only if all of the following conditions are met:

If the guarantee is not met and the conditions above are satisfied, the Company will refund one hundred percent (100%) of fees paid within thirty (30) days of the written request.

3. Exclusive Outreach

During the active term, the Company maintains sole authority over all recruiting outreach conducted on the Athlete's behalf. The Client and Athlete agree not to independently email, message, or otherwise initiate contact with college coaches while the service is active. Independent outreach disrupts deliverability, tracking, and the guarantee calculation, and voids the Performance Guarantee in Section 2.

If a coach contacts the Athlete directly through channels outside the shared email account, the Client agrees to notify the Company within 48 hours so the contact can be documented.

4. Shared Email Account

The Company will create a dedicated recruiting email account for the Athlete. Recruiting outreach may be drafted and sent from that account in the Athlete's name and from the Athlete's perspective as part of the Services.

When the Athlete is under eighteen (18), the Client, as the parent or legal guardian, authorizes the creation and use of the account and authorizes the Company to manage and send recruiting outreach on the Athlete's behalf.

The Athlete, Client, and Company may share access during the active service term. Within seven (7) days after the service ends, the Company will transfer full and exclusive control of the account to the Athlete and Client.

5. Fees and Payment

The fee for the service is $799.99 USD for the full program: a fourteen (14) day setup and warm-up period followed by the ninety (90) day outreach window. Payment is due in full at purchase unless a written payment plan is agreed to by both parties.

All fees are non-refundable except as provided under the Performance Guarantee in Section 2. Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute voids the Performance Guarantee and constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

6. Client and Athlete Responsibilities

7. No Guarantee of Outcomes

Other than the Performance Guarantee in Section 2, the Company makes no promise or guarantee of any specific outcome. We cannot and do not promise scholarships, offers, roster spots, walk-on opportunities, college admission, financial aid, or any specific response from any coach or institution. Recruiting outcomes depend on factors outside the Company's control, including the Athlete's performance, academics, character, and the needs of individual programs.

8. Recruiting Assistance and Marketing Service; Not an Athlete Agent

The Company operates as a recruiting assistance and marketing service. The Company is NOT an athlete agent. We do not negotiate contracts, NIL deals, scholarships, or compensation of any kind with any coach or institution, and we do not represent the Athlete in any agency capacity. Our service is limited to recruiting assistance, marketing, outreach, and communication support that helps the Athlete reach college coaching staffs.

9. Intellectual Property and Testimonials

All templates, coach databases, contact lists, systems, and materials created by the Company remain the exclusive property of the Company. The Company may reference the Athlete's first name, sport, class year, and recruiting results in marketing materials unless the Client opts out in writing within thirty (30) days of purchase. The Company will never publish the Athlete's full name or contact information in marketing without separate written consent.

10. Limitation of Liability

The Company's total liability under this Agreement is limited to the fees actually paid by the Client. The Company is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost scholarship opportunities, lost athletic opportunities, or emotional distress.

11. Term and Termination

This Agreement runs from the Effective Date through the end of the 90-day outreach window, approximately 104 days in total, unless extended by mutual written agreement. Either party may terminate for material breach if the breach is not cured within seven (7) days of written notice. Termination does not entitle the Client to a refund except as provided under Section 2.

12. Dispute Resolution

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida. The parties agree to attempt good-faith mediation before pursuing any other remedy. Any dispute that cannot be resolved through mediation will be settled by binding arbitration in Lee County, Florida. Both parties waive the right to participate in any class action.
