14. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Provision

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

 

14.1. Initial Dispute Resolution. For any problem or dispute that you may have with us, you understand and agree that you will first give us an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. In order to initiate this dispute resolution process, you agree that you shall first send us a written description of your problem or dispute within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the problem or dispute by sending an email to: info@mynilpay.com. You then agree to negotiate with us in good faith about your problem or dispute for sixty (60) days. This should lead to resolution, but if for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after our receipt of your written description of it, you agree to the arbitration provisions below.

 

​14.2. Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The Commercial Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at +1.800.778.7879. The dispute shall be heard by a sole arbitrator. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

 

14.3. Location. The arbitration will take place in Dallas County, Texas.

 

14.4. Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND MYNILPAY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

 

14.5. Exceptions – Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

 

14.6. 30-Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to us at info@mynilpay.com. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.

 

​14.7. Changes to this Section. We will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any changes to this section. Changes will become effective on the 30th day, and will apply prospectively only to any claims arising after the 30th day. The Agreement and the relationship between you and myNILpay shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to conflict of law provisions.

 

15. Miscellaneous

 

15.1. Assignment. This Agreement is personal to User, and you may not assign, transfer, sub-license, sub-contract, charge or otherwise encumber any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of myNILpay. myNILpay may assign, transfer, or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder without your consent.

FAN TERMS

 

16. Selecting a Student-Athlete

Fans may search the Services for and select their favorite Student-Athletes on the Site.  Fans acknowledge and agree that the presence of a particular Student-Athlete on the Site does not mean that Student-Athlete has created an account and is eligible to receive Transaction Fees.

 

17. Receiving Digital Assets

Once a Fan has selected a Student-Athlete, the Fan may select the amount that it will pay (“Transaction Amount”). For Transaction Amounts at the MVP Tier level (as described in the following section), Fans must contact myNILpay at mvp@mynilpay.com for assistance in processing the transaction. Once the Student-Athlete creates an Account and receives the Transaction Fee, myNILpay will deliver a Digital Asset to the Fan (“Completed Transaction”).  Each Digital Asset is created by myNILpay pursuant to a license granted by the Student-Athlete and will bear the Student-Athlete’s name, digital signature, and a unique piece of artwork.  myNILpay reserves the right to make changes to the format of the Digital Asset for future Transactions.  Each Digital Asset will be delivered to Fan’s Account upon occurrence of the Completed Transaction.

 

18. Digital Asset Tiers

Depending on the Transaction Amount, each Fan will receive a Digital Asset corresponding to the following tiers (“Digital Asset Tiers”):

Common Tier: $20 - $100          

Elite Tier: $101 - $500

Rare Tier: $501 - $1,000

Ultimate Tier: $1,001 - $5,000

MVP Tier: $5,001 and above

 

Each Digital Asset received by a Fan will indicate which Digital Asset Tier that Digital Asset belongs. For Transaction Amounts at the MVP tier level, Fans must contact myNILpay at mvp@mynilpay.com for assistance in processing the transaction.

 

19. Group Transactions

In the case of group payments (“Group Transactions”) intending to result in payments to more than one Student-Athlete: (a) each Student-Athlete shall automatically receive the Transaction Fees designated for that particular Student-Athlete; (b) each Student-Athlete shall not be entitled to receive any amounts, in whole or in part, designated for any other Student-Athlete; and (c) Fan shall only pay for the Student-Athletes who accept the Transaction Fees offered pursuant to this Agreement. Other Transactions may occur if a User presents to Student-Athlete a business opportunity that Student-Athlete seeks to accept, at which point the User and Student-Athlete will be connected with a myNILpay account executive (“myNILpay Representative”) to facilitate the Transaction through the Services.

 

20. Payment Processing.

When a Fan selects a Student-Athlete and attempts to complete a Transaction, the Fan must provide a valid payment method through the applicable third-party payment provider myNILpay has selected, currently BlueSnap, although that may be subject to change upon notice. Your payment method will be charged for the full amount upon request of the Transaction. Each Fan acknowledges and agrees that myNILpay does not operate, own, or control the payment provider. The Fan’s use of your payment method is governed by your agreement with and the privacy policy of the payment provider, not these Terms. You agree to immediately notify the payment provider of any change in your billing address (or other information) for your payment method.

 

21. Refund Policy; Student-Athlete Acceptance Period.

There are no refunds for payments successfully transacted through a Completed Transaction. If a Student-Athlete fails to activate an Account within seven (7) days of a Fan’s attempted payment (“Acceptance Period”), the Transaction shall not become a Completed Transaction and Fan will not be charged the applicable Transaction Fee for such Student-Athlete.

 

22. myNILpay Cancellations.

myNILpay reserves the right (but is under no obligation) to cancel any Transaction if: (i) the payment method is declined; or (ii) if the Fan has been banned or removed from the Site for any reason. If myNILpay cancels the Transaction, a refund of the Transaction Amount shall be made to the original payment method.

 

 

STUDENT-ATHLETE TERMS

23. Special Provisions Relating to Student-Athlete Accounts.

26. Compliance with NCAA Policies and State Laws Concerning Name, Image and Likeness Activities.

Each Student-Athlete understands and agrees that the NCAA and the Student-Athlete’s applicable university (each a “University”), maintain rules and regulations concerning eligibility requirements for Student-Athlete to qualify as a collegiate student-athlete (collectively, “Eligibility Requirements”). Student-Athlete further understands and agrees that it is solely responsible for meeting its Eligibility Requirements, including but not limited to independently determining whether use of the Services complies with the applicable (1) NCAA policies, (2) state and federal law concerning name, image and likeness activities, (3) policies of a Student-Athlete’s University or athletic department, and (4) any other laws, rules, regulations or policies.

 

27. Reporting of NIL Activities.

Student-Athlete acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for reporting any NIL activity to its University where required. To assist the Student-Athlete with its reporting obligations, if any, myNILpay prepares records for every Completed Transaction and issues such record to each Member via email. Records may include the breakdown of Transaction Fees and information made in connection to receipt of Digital Assets, including applicable taxes, and may include specific information about you, including your name, contact information, as well as a description of the Digital Asset received. myNILpay shall not be liable to you for any mistakes in or corrections to any records.

 

myNILpay, in its sole discretion, and without obligation to do so, may send periodic compliance notices to Universities regarding Transactions with Student Athletes who are known to be enrolled at the applicable University. By using myNILpay you consent to such disclosures made by myNILpay to the applicable University.

 

​28. Cancellation Policy; Student-Athlete Acceptance Period.

Once a Student-Athlete activates its Account, the myNILpay settings are set to automatically accept all Transaction Fees. If a Student-Athlete seeks to refuse any Transaction Fees, the Student-Athlete must do so through BlueSnap. If a Student-Athlete fails to activate an account within seven (7) days of the Fan’s attempted payment(“Acceptance Period”), the transaction will be cancelled and the Student-Athlete will not receive the Transaction Fee.

Student-Athlete further understands that its Account will be set up to automatically accept any Transaction Fees.
