terms of service.
Effective Date: August 1, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Universal Elite Agency, LLC (“Universal Elite Agency,” “UEA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) concerning your access to and use of universaleliteagency.com, its subdomains, and any temporary, staging, preview, successor, or replacement website operated by UEA that links to these Terms (collectively, the “Site”).
Please read these Terms carefully.
THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, CLASS-ACTION WAIVER, AND JURY-TRIAL WAIVER THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. SEE SECTION 18.
By accessing or using the Site, submitting an inquiry, subscribing through a Site feature, or otherwise affirmatively agreeing to these Terms, you agree to be bound by them.
If you do not agree, do not use the Site or submit information through it.
1. About Universal Elite Agency
Universal Elite Agency, LLC is a sports and talent agency involved in athlete and talent representation, brand partnerships, sponsorship opportunities, marketing, media, professional development, and related agency activities.
The Site provides information concerning UEA, its clients, personnel, business partners, campaigns, services, news, and related opportunities.
2. No Representation Relationship Created by the Site
Using the Site, contacting UEA, submitting an inquiry, submitting athletic or professional information, receiving a response, participating in a preliminary conversation, or being featured in publicly available Site content does not by itself create an agency, representation, fiduciary, employment, partnership, joint-venture, attorney-client, advisory, or other professional relationship between you and UEA.
A formal representation or similar professional relationship exists only when UEA and the applicable party enter into a separate written agreement executed by persons authorized to bind the parties.
No employee, contractor, website statement, social-media interaction, direct message, informal communication, or preliminary discussion modifies this requirement unless expressly incorporated into a duly authorized written agreement.
3. No Guarantee of Representation or Professional Results
UEA does not guarantee that:
an inquiry will receive a response;
an applicant or prospective client will be offered representation;
an athlete or talent client will receive a particular contract;
any team, league, employer, promoter, brand, sponsor, media organization, or other third party will express interest;
a sponsorship, endorsement, appearance, media placement, campaign, or commercial opportunity will occur;
a particular level of compensation, revenue, exposure, publicity, audience growth, ranking, roster placement, recruitment, scholarship, contract value, or career result will be achieved; or
information available through the Site will cause any particular professional outcome.
Athletic, entertainment, sponsorship, media, and commercial opportunities depend on numerous circumstances outside UEA’s control.
Nothing on the Site constitutes a promise or warranty of future performance or results.
4. Eligibility and Minors
The Site is intended for a general audience.
If you are 18 or older, you may use the Site subject to these Terms.
If you are at least 13 but under 18, you may use the Site only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian. A parent or legal guardian who permits a minor to use the Site is responsible for supervising that use and, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to these Terms in connection with that use.
Children under 13 should not independently submit personal information through the Site.
UEA may work with or represent athletes or talent who are minors. Such professional relationships, submissions, permissions, publicity rights, and related matters may be subject to separate agreements and parent or guardian authorization.
UEA will not publish identifying information, photographs, video, likenesses, or other personal media concerning an individual under 18 through the Site without parent or legal guardian authorization.
5. Site Inquiries and Submissions
The Site may permit inquiries concerning:
athlete or talent representation;
brands and partnerships;
sponsorships;
press and media;
campaigns;
athletes, coaches, executives, or other UEA personnel;
general business matters; and
other subjects UEA may make available.
You agree that information you submit will be accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you will not knowingly impersonate another person or provide fraudulent or misleading information.
UEA may route, review, store, annotate, assign, and internally share an inquiry as reasonably necessary to evaluate and respond to it.
UEA is not obligated to accept, evaluate, respond to, return, preserve, or act on an unsolicited submission except as required by law or a separate written agreement.
6. Prospective Athlete and Talent Materials
UEA currently may use third-party services, including Google Forms, for certain athlete or talent intake processes. UEA may later offer such intake directly through the Site.
If a feature permits you to submit athletic, professional, biographical, photographic, audiovisual, statistical, portfolio, résumé, social-media, or similar materials, you represent that:
the information is materially accurate;
you are authorized to submit it;
submission does not violate another person’s privacy, publicity, contractual, intellectual-property, or other rights; and
if the subject is a minor, all required parent or legal guardian permissions have been obtained.
Submission of material for UEA’s consideration does not guarantee representation or any opportunity.
7. License for Submitted Materials
You retain whatever ownership rights you lawfully hold in material you submit.
By voluntarily submitting material to UEA, you grant UEA a nonexclusive, limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to receive, copy, store, review, internally distribute, reproduce, format, and otherwise process the submitted material as reasonably necessary to:
evaluate your inquiry or proposed relationship;
communicate with you and authorized UEA personnel;
maintain business records;
prevent fraud or abuse;
comply with law; and
provide the service or response you requested.
This submission license does not, by itself, authorize UEA to publicly exploit your name, image, likeness, or submitted media for advertising or publicity where separate authorization is legally or contractually required.
Any broader public, commercial, promotional, sponsorship, representation, or publicity use may be governed by a separate agreement or authorization.
For an individual under 18, UEA requires parent or legal guardian authorization before UEA publishes identifying personal information or media concerning that individual.
8. Confidential and Sensitive Information
Unless UEA has expressly agreed otherwise in writing, ordinary Site inquiries and unsolicited submissions should not be treated as confidential communications.
Do not submit:
Social Security numbers;
bank-account credentials;
payment-card information;
passwords;
government identification documents;
medical records;
confidential team or league information;
another person’s protected personal information;
trade secrets; or
information subject to a confidentiality obligation,
unless UEA specifically requests the information through an appropriate process.
Submitting information to a general Site form does not create an attorney-client privilege, fiduciary duty, nondisclosure agreement, or other duty of confidentiality beyond UEA’s obligations under applicable law, its Privacy Policy, and any separate written agreement.
9. UEA Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, the Site and its original content, design, layout, interfaces, graphics, copy, databases, software, code, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, logos, and other UEA-created materials are owned by or licensed to UEA and are protected by applicable intellectual-property and other laws.
UEA grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable right to access and use the public Site for lawful personal or legitimate business purposes consistent with these Terms.
No rights are granted by implication.
10. Athlete, Talent, Partner, Team, and Third-Party Rights
The Site may contain names, photographs, likenesses, trademarks, logos, videos, statistics, copyrighted works, or other material owned or controlled by UEA clients, athletes, talent, employees, teams, leagues, sponsors, partners, media organizations, photographers, licensors, or other third parties.
Their appearance on the Site does not transfer any ownership or license to you.
Except as permitted by law or expressly authorized in writing, you may not use another person’s name, image, likeness, voice, persona, photograph, video, trademark, or other protected material for advertising, merchandising, endorsement, impersonation, synthetic media, or other commercial purposes.
References to third-party teams, leagues, organizations, brands, products, or services do not imply sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, or approval except where UEA expressly states otherwise.
11. Automated Collection, AI Training, Likeness Extraction, and Synthetic Media
Except where expressly authorized by UEA in writing or required by applicable law, you may not:
scrape, crawl, harvest, systematically copy, or bulk-download Site content;
create or populate a commercial database using Site content;
use Site content to train, fine-tune, evaluate, ground, or augment an artificial-intelligence or machine-learning model;
create facial-recognition templates, biometric identifiers, voiceprints, or similar profiles from photographs, video, audio, or likenesses appearing on the Site;
use Site content to generate a digital replica, deepfake, synthetic voice, synthetic likeness, avatar, or other simulated depiction of an athlete, talent client, executive, employee, partner, or other person;
bypass robots directives, rate limits, technical restrictions, authentication mechanisms, or access controls;
use automated tools in a manner that materially burdens or disrupts the Site; or
reproduce Site data or content for competitive commercial exploitation.
Nothing in this section prohibits ordinary search-engine indexing authorized by UEA, lawful accessibility technologies, or conduct that applicable law expressly protects and does not permit UEA to restrict.
12. Prohibited Conduct
You may not use the Site to:
violate applicable law;
impersonate another person or organization;
misrepresent your identity, authority, affiliation, qualifications, or intentions;
submit false, fraudulent, defamatory, threatening, abusive, harassing, obscene, or unlawful content;
infringe intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights;
transmit malware, malicious code, or destructive technology;
probe, scan, exploit, or interfere with Site security;
gain unauthorized access to an account, system, server, database, or administrative area;
circumvent technical safeguards or rate limits;
conduct phishing, spam, credential harvesting, or fraudulent solicitation;
collect personal information about others without authorization;
interfere with Site availability or performance; or
use the Site for any unlawful or unauthorized commercial purpose.
UEA may restrict or terminate access, preserve evidence, report conduct to service providers or authorities, or pursue other remedies when it reasonably believes the Site is being misused.
13. Honest Reviews and Legally Protected Communications
Nothing in these Terms is intended to prohibit or restrict:
an honest review;
a lawful assessment of UEA’s services;
a report to a governmental or regulatory authority;
legally protected whistleblowing;
testimony or participation in a legal proceeding; or
any other communication that applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to make.
You remain responsible for the legality and accuracy of your own statements.
14. Marketing and Electronic Communications
When you submit an inquiry, UEA may send communications reasonably related to that inquiry or the service you requested.
Promotional newsletters, marketing email, and marketing text-message programs may be subject to separate subscription or consent mechanisms.
Consent to promotional marketing is not a condition of submitting an inquiry, being evaluated for representation, or entering into a representation relationship with UEA.
You may withdraw marketing consent or unsubscribe using the mechanisms made available by UEA, subject to communications UEA may still lawfully send for transactional, contractual, safety, legal, or requested purposes.
15. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Site may interact with or link to third-party services, including services operated by:
Google;
YouTube;
Mux;
social-media platforms;
teams and leagues;
brands and sponsors;
media organizations; and
other third parties.
UEA does not control independently operated third-party websites or services and is not responsible for their availability, security, content, accuracy, privacy practices, products, services, transactions, or conduct.
Your use of a third-party service is subject to that third party’s own terms and policies.
16. No Online Payment Services at Present
As of the Effective Date, the Site does not provide an online payment gateway.
If UEA later offers paid transactions, deposits, merchandise, subscriptions, booking services, or other payment functionality through the Site, additional terms, fees, refund provisions, payment-provider terms, or transaction-specific agreements may apply.
A future introduction of payment functionality does not amend an existing representation agreement unless expressly stated in writing.
17. Disclaimers
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SITE AND ALL INFORMATION, CONTENT, FEATURES, MATERIALS, AND SERVICES MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UEA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND RESULTS.
UEA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT:
THE SITE WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE, UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE;
DEFECTS OR ERRORS WILL ALWAYS BE CORRECTED;
SITE CONTENT WILL ALWAYS BE COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR ACCURATE;
THIRD-PARTY CONTENT OR SERVICES WILL BE AVAILABLE OR RELIABLE; OR
USE OF THE SITE WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR ATHLETIC, PROFESSIONAL, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, SPONSORSHIP, MEDIA, OR CAREER RESULT.
Content on the Site is provided for general informational and promotional purposes. It is not legal, tax, investment, medical, financial, employment, recruiting, eligibility, or other regulated professional advice.
Nothing in this section excludes a warranty that cannot lawfully be excluded.
18. Mandatory Arbitration, Class-Action Waiver, and Jury-Trial Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED EXCEPTIONS BELOW, YOU AND UEA AGREE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT.
A. Informal Resolution First
Before commencing arbitration, the party asserting a dispute must provide the other party with written notice describing:
the party’s name and contact information;
the facts giving rise to the dispute;
the legal or contractual basis for the claim, if known; and
the relief requested.
Notices to UEA must be sent to:
hello@universaleliteagency.comSubject: Notice of Dispute
The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days after receipt of a complete notice before initiating arbitration, unless immediate relief is legally necessary.
B. Agreement to Arbitrate
Except as expressly provided below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to:
these Terms;
the Privacy Policy;
the Site;
your access to or use of the Site;
an inquiry or submission made through the Site;
communications arising from Site use; or
the relationship between you and UEA arising from the Site,
shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis.
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.
C. Arbitration Administrator and Rules
Unless the parties mutually agree to another administrator, arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the rules applicable to the dispute at the time arbitration is filed.
If consumer arbitration rules legally apply, those rules will govern. Otherwise, the applicable commercial arbitration rules will govern.
If AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, a court of competent jurisdiction located in Essex County, New Jersey may appoint a substitute arbitration administrator consistent with the parties’ agreement to individual arbitration.
D. Location and Seat
The legal seat and contractual venue of arbitration shall be Essex County, New Jersey.
The arbitrator may permit hearings or proceedings to occur by telephone, video conference, document submission, or other remote means where permitted by applicable law and the applicable arbitration rules, without changing Essex County, New Jersey as the agreed arbitral seat.
E. Individual Proceedings Only
YOU AND UEA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLAIMANT, OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, MASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
Unless both parties expressly agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of different persons or preside over a class, collective, consolidated, mass, or representative proceeding.
F. Jury-Trial Waiver
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and UEA knowingly and voluntarily waive any right to a trial by jury for a dispute governed by this arbitration provision or otherwise arising from the Site.
G. Exceptions
Either party may bring:
an individual claim in a court that qualifies as a small-claims court if the claim remains exclusively within that court’s lawful jurisdiction;
an action seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive relief necessary to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, unauthorized access, misuse of intellectual property, misuse of name or likeness, cyberattack, or other irreparable harm pending arbitration; or
a proceeding concerning a matter that applicable law prohibits from being subjected to mandatory predispute arbitration.
To the extent judicial proceedings are permitted under this subsection, Section 19 governs venue.
Nothing in these Terms eliminates or restricts a right that federal law makes non-waivable, including any election available under Chapter 4 of Title 9 of the United States Code concerning qualifying sexual-assault or sexual-harassment disputes.
H. Authority of Arbitrator
Except for issues that governing law requires a court to decide, the arbitrator has authority to resolve disputes concerning the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms and to award any individual remedy that would otherwise be available in a court of competent jurisdiction.
The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision if required by the applicable rules or requested by either party.
I. Survival
This arbitration agreement survives termination of these Terms and cessation of Site use.
19. Governing Law and Exclusive Essex County Forum
These Terms and any dispute arising from or relating to them, the Site, or your use of the Site are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitration provisions in Section 18.
For any claim, proceeding, application, petition, or dispute that is not required to be arbitrated, and for any proceeding properly brought to compel arbitration, stay litigation, confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, or obtain judicial relief permitted by Section 18:
YOU AND UEA AGREE THAT ALL SUCH LEGAL PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN ESSEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts and waives objections based on inconvenient forum or similar doctrines to the fullest extent permitted by law.
20. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UEA AND ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, CLIENTS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR ENHANCED DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, DATA, GOODWILL, REPUTATION, CONTRACTS, SPONSORSHIPS, CAREER OPPORTUNITIES, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UEA’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:
$100; or
the amount you actually paid directly to UEA specifically for the Site-based service giving rise to the claim during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to liability.
Because the Site currently does not process payments, the first amount will ordinarily apply to Site-only disputes.
These limitations apply regardless of the form of action and whether the alleged liability arises in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statute, or another theory, even if UEA was advised that damages were possible.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability to the extent a limitation is prohibited by applicable law.
21. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless UEA and its owners, members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, agents, representatives, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from and against third-party claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from or relating to:
your unlawful or unauthorized use of the Site;
your material violation of these Terms;
content or information you submit;
your infringement or violation of another person’s intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights;
your fraud, intentional misconduct, or unlawful conduct; or
your use of Site content in violation of Section 11.
UEA reserves the right to assume exclusive control of the defense of a matter otherwise subject to indemnification, in which event you agree to provide reasonable cooperation.
This section does not require a consumer to indemnify UEA to an extent prohibited by applicable law.
22. Site Availability, Modification, and Termination
UEA may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time, subject to applicable law and any separate written agreement.
UEA may restrict access by a user who violates these Terms, threatens Site security, abuses Site functionality, infringes rights, or engages in unlawful conduct.
UEA is not required to preserve any particular public Site feature indefinitely.
23. Copyright and Intellectual-Property Complaints
If you believe material on the Site infringes your copyright, trademark, publicity right, or other intellectual-property right, contact:
hello@universaleliteagency.com
Include sufficient information to identify:
the protected work or right;
the material at issue;
where the material appears;
your contact information;
the basis for your claim; and
your authority to act for the rights holder, if applicable.
UEA may request additional information before acting on a complaint.
Nothing in this section constitutes a representation that UEA has registered a designated agent under any particular statutory safe-harbor program.
24. Privacy
UEA’s Privacy Policy describes UEA’s processing of personal information associated with the Site.
The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference for purposes of describing Site privacy practices, but nothing in these Terms converts a privacy disclosure into a warranty beyond obligations imposed by applicable law.
25. Changes to These Terms
UEA may revise these Terms from time to time.
If a revision is material, UEA will provide notice in a manner appropriate to the circumstances and as required by applicable law.
The Effective Date identifies the version currently in effect.
Your continued use after revised Terms become effective may constitute acceptance where permitted by law. Where affirmative consent to a material change is legally required, UEA will request it.
26. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent legally permissible and the remaining provisions shall remain in effect, except where applicable law requires a different result.
If the individual-arbitration or class-action provisions of Section 18 are held unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, the effect of that determination shall be limited to the claim, remedy, or party for which the provision cannot lawfully be enforced.
27. No Waiver
UEA’s failure to enforce a provision of these Terms is not a waiver of its right to enforce that provision or any other provision later.
A waiver is effective only if made in writing by a person authorized to bind UEA.
28. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without UEA’s prior written consent.
UEA may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, change of control, corporate reorganization, or transfer of the Site or relevant business, subject to applicable law.
29. Entire Agreement and Separate Agreements
These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the agreement governing ordinary use of the Site.
They do not replace or amend a separately executed athlete representation agreement, marketing agreement, sponsorship agreement, endorsement agreement, employment agreement, contractor agreement, nondisclosure agreement, media release, parental authorization, licensing agreement, or other written agreement between UEA and another party.
If a separate written agreement expressly conflicts with these Terms concerning its subject matter, the separate agreement controls for that subject matter.
30. Force Majeure
To the fullest extent permitted by law, UEA is not responsible for a delay or failure caused by events reasonably outside its control, including natural disasters, extreme weather, war, terrorism, labor disputes, telecommunications failures, utility failures, Internet outages, cyberattacks, governmental action, service-provider outages, epidemics, or other force-majeure events.
31. Survival
Provisions that by their nature should survive termination or cessation of Site use will survive, including provisions concerning intellectual property, submitted materials, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, governing law, and accrued rights.
32. Contact
