2. Acceptance, Eligibility, and Account Registration

Your access to or use of the Service constitutes your unconditional acceptance of, and agreement to be bound by, these Terms ab initio.

2.2 Age and Eligibility Requirements
The Service is available to individuals who are thirteen (13) years of age or older.

3.1 Consent Flow
Upon account registration by a Minor Athlete, the Platform will transmit an electronic consent form via DocuSeal to the email address of the parent or legal guardian provided during the registration process.

All waivers must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Company to be effective.
