Terms of Use

Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the CSA Recruits platform, operated by CSA Recruits, LLC. By creating an account or using the platform, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

Who may use CSA Recruits

CSA Recruits is built for high school and transfer athletes pursuing college recruiting, for the parents those athletes invite, and for college coaches looking for athletes. If you are an athlete under 18, you may use the platform only with the consent and involvement of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use of the platform.

A college coach account is for adults who work for a college athletics program and can receive email at that college’s domain. The section “College coach accounts” below adds terms that apply to coaches.

The minimum age, the form of parental consent and the responsibilities of a parent or guardian must be set by counsel before production.

Your account

• You are responsible for the accuracy of the information in your profile.
• You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for activity that occurs under your account.
• One account per person for each kind of account. An athlete account, a parent account and a college coach account are different kinds, and one sign-in cannot be more than one of them: an identity that holds one is refused the others. Do not share an account or create one on someone else’s behalf without authority to do so.
• Tell us promptly at info@csarecruits.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

What the platform does — and what it does not promise

CSA Recruits provides tools: a ranked school list, match and fit assessments, drafted outreach messages, recruiting graphics, and organization for camps, offers and commitments.

CSA Recruits does not recruit on your behalf and does not promise any recruiting outcome. We do not guarantee that you will be contacted by any coach, receive any offer, be admitted to any institution, or receive any athletic or academic scholarship. Recruiting decisions belong entirely to college programs.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting as an agent of the NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA or any college, university or athletic program.

Eligibility rules are your responsibility

Athletic associations impose rules on recruiting communications, amateurism and eligibility, and those rules change. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the platform — including the messages you send and when you send them — complies with the rules that apply to you. Nothing in the platform is compliance advice.

Your content

You keep ownership of everything you upload or write, including your photographs, video, profile information and messages.

You grant CSA Recruits a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt and display your content strictly for the purpose of operating the platform for you — for example, to store your photographs, cut them out and composite them into a recruiting graphic, and show that graphic back to you.

You confirm that you have the rights to what you upload, and that it does not infringe anyone else’s rights. Do not upload footage you do not have permission to use, or images of other people who have not agreed to appear.

This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies already distributed at your direction and for copies in backups until they age out.

AI-generated content

School rankings, outreach drafts and the wording on your recruiting graphics are generated by large language models. Model output can be inaccurate, incomplete or unsuitable, and it may misstate facts about a school or about you.

Everything is presented for your review and is editable before use. You are responsible for what you send. Check the facts in any message before it goes to a coach.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Misrepresent your identity, academic record, athletic performance or eligibility.
• Upload unlawful, harassing, defamatory or infringing content.
• Use the platform to send spam or bulk unsolicited messages.
• Attempt to access another user’s account or data.
• Probe, scan, disrupt or overload the platform, or attempt to circumvent its security or access controls.
• Scrape, republish or resell platform data, or use it to build a competing service.
• Use automated means to access the platform except as we expressly permit.

College coach accounts

A coach account is free. It lets you search athletes who are visible to coaches and open their profiles. Athletes 18 or older are visible by default and can turn Coach Visibility off at any time in their settings. Athletes under 18, and athletes whose age we do not know, are visible only once they have turned Coach Visibility on themselves and a parent they linked has approved it. An athlete’s email address and phone number are shown only if the athlete has chosen to share them with verified coaches.

Opening an athlete’s profile is recorded, and the athlete sees how many coaches viewed them and which schools those coaches work for.

As a coach, you agree to:

• Use a coach account only if you work for the athletics program of the college whose email domain you verified, and keep your title and work email accurate.
• Use what you see only to evaluate and recruit athletes for your own program.
• Not scrape, bulk-download, copy into another database, republish, sell or share athlete information, and not access the platform through automated means. Searches and profile views are rate limited.
• Not share your account or let anyone outside your program use it.
• Comply with the recruiting rules that apply to you, including the NCAA, NAIA or NJCAA rules on when and how a prospective student-athlete may be contacted. Those rules are your responsibility. The platform does not check contact periods, dead periods or the age and grade limits on contact, and showing you an athlete or their contact details is not permission to contact them.
• Stop contacting an athlete who asks you to.

Parent accounts

An athlete on CSA Pro can invite a parent by email. The invitation link works for 7 days. The parent accepts with a sign-in of their own and gets a read-only view of the athlete’s progress; a parent cannot change anything in the athlete’s account. The athlete can remove a parent’s access at any time, and a parent can remove their own parent account.

For an athlete under 18, or one whose age we do not know, a linked parent can approve or decline the athlete’s request to let CSA Recruits use their commitment story in its marketing, and can approve or withdraw the athlete’s visibility to college coaches. Before approving anything, the parent confirms that they are the athlete’s parent or legal guardian and 18 or older. By confirming, you state that this is true.

Ambassador program

An athlete can join the ambassador program and share a referral code. When an athlete who signed up with your code pays for CSA Pro, you earn a share of every invoice they pay for as long as they keep paying: 15%, 17.5% or 20%, depending on your tier (Bronze, Silver or Gold), which is set by the points you earn from signups and paid conversions. A club that signs up through the program earns a one-time $250 bounty.

Earnings are recorded in cents and paid out through our payment provider’s Connect service, to an account you set up with it. When an invoice is refunded or credited, or its charge is disputed, the share earned on it is reversed in proportion, and never by more than was earned; a dispute decided in your favour restores it.

Payouts are only for adults. If you are under 18, or we do not have your date of birth, you cannot set up a payout account and no payouts are made to you, although what you earn is kept for you.

The tax treatment of ambassador earnings, including any tax reporting, must be set by counsel before production.

Subscriptions and billing

• CSA Recruits offers a free plan and a paid plan. The features of each are described on the pricing page.
• Paid subscriptions renew automatically each billing period until cancelled.
• You can cancel at any time by contacting us at info@csarecruits.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and there is no long-term commitment and no cancellation penalty.
• If you are not completely satisfied within your first 30 days, we will refund your payment in full.
• Cancel before deleting your account. Deleting your account removes our records of your subscription but does not by itself stop billing at the payment provider.
• Payment is processed by our payment provider. Prices are shown exclusive of any taxes that may apply.
• We may change prices on notice; a change does not affect the period you have already paid for.

Third-party services

The platform depends on third-party services for identity, hosting, storage, email delivery, AI processing and payments. Their availability is not under our control, and interruptions in those services may interrupt the platform.

Deleting your account and termination

An athlete may delete their account at any time from Settings. Deletion is confirmed by email and is irreversible; what we erase is described in the Privacy Policy. A college coach can ask us to delete their account at info@csarecruits.com.

We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these terms, or where we are required to do so by law. That includes a coach account used against the coach terms above. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will give notice.

Disclaimers

The platform is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free or that any content it generates is accurate.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CSA Recruits, LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost recruiting opportunities, lost scholarships, lost data or lost profits.

The specific liability cap, the governing law and the dispute-resolution mechanism — including whether arbitration or a class-action waiver applies — must be set by counsel before production, and are deliberately left unstated here rather than guessed.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date above and give notice of material changes through the platform or by email. Continuing to use the platform after a change takes effect means you accept the revised terms.
