Legal
Terms of service.
Effective [DATE]. These terms cover use of this website and enrollment in the 80 Scale Prospect program. Section 4 is the one every family should read.
1. Agreement
By using this website or enrolling an athlete, you agree to these terms. 80 Scale Prospect is operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], [ENTITY TYPE], of [BUSINESS ADDRESS]. If you do not agree, do not use the site or enroll.
2. Who may enroll
Athletes under 18 must be enrolled by a parent or legal guardian, who signs the service agreement and is responsible for payment. By enrolling, you confirm you are that parent or guardian and that the information you provide is accurate and complete.
Submitting a player evaluation is an application, not an enrollment. We review each one and may decline any applicant. Enrollment begins only when a written service agreement is signed and the first payment is received.
3. What the program includes
Enrolled athletes receive, for each year of the term: five one-on-one hitting workouts, five video-room hitting analysis sessions, five metrics evaluation sessions using Rapsodo and HitTrax, professional recruiting videos, a maintained SportsRecruits recruiting profile, promotion across our digital channels, college camp identification and recommendations, direct communication with college coaches on the athlete’s behalf, five family Zoom meetings, and academic planning support.
Sessions are scheduled by mutual arrangement during the service year and do not carry over into the following year unless we agree otherwise in writing. We may substitute a service of comparable value if a provider, platform or technology becomes unavailable.
4. No guarantee of recruitment
We do not guarantee any outcome. We do not guarantee that an athlete will be recruited, will receive an offer, will receive athletic or academic aid, will be admitted to any institution, or will play at any particular level or division. College recruiting depends on the athlete’s performance, health, academics, physical development, program needs, coaching changes, roster limits, competition and timing — nearly all of which are outside our control.
What we commit to is the work described in section 3, performed diligently and honestly for the length of the term. Fees pay for those services, not for a result. No employee or representative is authorized to promise an outcome, and any such statement is not binding.
5. Fees and payment
Program fees are published on the pricing page and are set by the athlete’s grade at enrollment: [$7,500 for four years from 9th grade; $6,000 for three years from 10th; $5,000 for two years from 11th; $3,000 for one year from 12th]. The fee covers the full term stated in the service agreement.
Payment is due [in full at signing, or under the installment schedule set out in the service agreement]. Payments are processed by [PAYMENT PROCESSOR]. If a scheduled payment fails or is more than [15] days late, we may pause services after written notice until the account is current.
Not included: camp and showcase registration fees, tournament costs, travel, lodging, equipment, third-party training, and any fees charged by a travel organization. Those are paid by the family directly to the provider.
6. Cancellation and refunds
[DECISION REQUIRED — this section must reflect what you will actually honor. A workable structure: a full refund if written notice is given within [X] days of signing and before services begin; after services begin, a refund of the unused portion calculated as the fee minus the value of services already delivered at the rates in Schedule A, minus a [X%] administrative fee; and no refund of the current service year once [X] sessions have been delivered. Multi-year terms need explicit treatment: state whether a family may exit after a completed year and what that costs. Have your attorney confirm this complies with your state’s rules on prepaid services and, if applicable, health-club or athletic-service contract statutes.]
We may terminate an agreement for non-payment, for conduct that endangers others, or if a family repeatedly makes the working relationship unworkable. In that case we will refund the unused portion calculated as above.
7. Family responsibilities
- Provide accurate academic, athletic and contact information, and correct it promptly when it changes.
- Attend scheduled sessions, or give reasonable notice. Sessions missed without notice count as delivered.
- Respond to communications about recruiting opportunities within a reasonable time.
- Tell us before committing to a program, changing travel organizations, or engaging another recruiting service.
- Make sure the athlete is medically cleared to train and compete.
8. Eligibility and compliance
The family is responsible for the athlete’s compliance with NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA, state association and high school rules, including eligibility, amateurism, recruiting contact rules and name-image-likeness regulations. We are a private recruiting and development service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting as an agent of the NCAA, any athletic association or any college. Nothing we do certifies eligibility, which only the appropriate eligibility center can do. We provide guidance in good faith; final responsibility for compliance rests with the athlete and family, and we recommend confirming anything consequential with the high school counselor or the eligibility center directly.
9. Media and likeness
Promotion is part of the service. On enrollment we ask for a signed media release covering the athlete’s name, image, video and metrics for recruiting and promotional use. You may decline or withdraw promotional use in writing without affecting the rest of the program, as described in the privacy policy.
10. Content we produce
Recruiting videos, edited footage, metric reports and profile materials we create remain our property. You receive a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use them for the athlete’s recruiting, college applications and personal use. You may not resell them or use them to promote a competing service. We may use them to promote 80 Scale Prospect, subject to section 9.
11. Assumption of risk
Baseball training carries a risk of injury. By enrolling, you acknowledge that risk and confirm the athlete is physically able to participate. [ATTORNEY: a separate signed waiver and assumption-of-risk agreement should accompany enrollment; enforceability of waivers signed by a parent on behalf of a minor varies significantly by state.]
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability arising out of the program is limited to the amount you paid us in the [12] months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, including lost athletic or academic opportunity, lost scholarship value, or the acts of any third party including college programs, travel organizations, camps or platforms. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
13. Website
Site content is provided for information. Commitment lists, results and metrics are believed accurate when published but may become outdated. Site text, design, photography and graphics are our property or used with permission; third-party names and marks belong to their owners and appear for identification only, without implying endorsement.
14. Disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of [STATE], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. [DECISION REQUIRED: choose venue in the courts of [COUNTY, STATE], or binding arbitration. Arbitration clauses involving minors and consumer services face scrutiny in some states — take your attorney’s advice.] We ask that you contact us first; most disagreements are resolved in a phone call.
15. Changes
We may update these terms. Material changes affecting enrolled families take effect only after written notice, and the signed service agreement controls where it conflicts with these terms.
