School-Athlete Affiliation Agreement
Version 1.0.0-beta · Effective Date: 2026-05-15 · Last Updated: April 22, 2026
1. Purpose
This Affiliation Agreement (the "Agreement") governs the relationship among you (as an athlete), the school you attend that has partnered with NextName (the "School"), and NextName, Inc. It is in addition to the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Athlete Agreement.
2. Your accounts
You will have a personal creator account and the ability to participate in official School and team channels that your School operates. You retain ownership and control of the content you publish on your personal channels at all times.
3. NIL autonomy
Your participation as an affiliated athlete does not assign any NIL rights to your School or to NextName. You are free to use your NIL off-platform and to work with other platforms or brands, subject only to NCAA, conference, and your School's written NIL policies.
4. School content
Content published to official School and team channels is managed by the School. You may appear in, or be credited on, that content as a member of the team. If you want to remove your appearance from a specific piece of School content, send a written request to the School and copy legal@nextname.io; we will work in good faith to resolve it promptly.
5. Revenue
Revenue generated from your personal channels is paid to you through Stripe Connect under the Athlete Agreement. Revenue generated from official School or team channels is paid to the School under the School Partner Agreement. Unless you and the School sign a separate revenue- share arrangement, no amounts from School channels flow to you automatically on account of roster membership.
6. Compliance workflow
If your School requires pre-approval of NIL activity, the Service will route proposed deals and paid content to the School's compliance team before they go live. You agree to provide the information the School's workflow requires (deal summary, counterparty, compensation) and to participate in education or training the School requires of its athletes.
7. Leaving the School
If you transfer or graduate, your personal account remains yours. Your access to School channels ends when your affiliation ends, unless the School grants you alumni access.
