These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Summit — a college recruiting platform operated by Summit Sports Consulting LLC, a Montana limited liability company (“Summit,” “we,” “us”). Please read carefully.
By creating an account or otherwise using Summit, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use Summit.
1. Eligibility
- You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.
- If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must complete our parental consent flow before you can access the dashboard. Until they do, your account is restricted.
- You must be located in the United States. Summit is not currently offered to users outside the US.
- You must verify your email address before fully accessing the Service.
- One account per person. Don't share your account.
- You may not be barred from receiving the Service under US law (e.g., you are not on a sanctions list).
2. Your account
You're responsible for keeping your password secure and for any activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at recruit@summitsportsconsulting.com if you suspect unauthorized access. We are not liable for losses arising from your failure to safeguard credentials.
3. The Service
Summit is a software platform that helps student-athletes (a) research college soccer programs, (b) build a player profile, (c) reach out to coaches via their own Gmail account, and (d) track their recruiting progress.
Summit is not a recruiting agency, a college admissions consultancy, or a guarantor of any recruiting outcome. We provide tools; how you use them and the results you achieve are up to you.
4. Subscriptions and billing
Plans
- Free: 5 schools on your target list, 1 coach email, blurred coach contact information.
- Pro: $19/month or $190/year (saving two months versus monthly), with unlimited schools, unlimited emails, full coach contact visibility, email open tracking, and PDF profile export.
Auto-renewal
Pro subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual). You authorize us — through Stripe, our payment processor — to charge your saved payment method on each renewal until you cancel.
Cancellation
You can cancel any time through “Manage subscription” in your dashboard, which opens the Stripe Customer Portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you keep Pro access until then. After expiry, your account reverts to the Free plan.
No refunds
All payments are non-refundable, including unused portions of any billing period. If you cancel mid-cycle, you will not receive a pro-rated refund. This applies to both monthly and annual subscriptions.
Failed payments
If a renewal payment fails, your subscription enters a grace period during which we may attempt to recharge. Your access continues during this period. If we cannot collect after a reasonable period, your account reverts to Free.
Price changes
We may change subscription prices. We'll give you at least 30 days' advance notice via email. New prices apply at your next renewal — your current period is unaffected.
Free-tier enforcement
Free-tier limits (5 schools, 1 email) are enforced server-side. Attempting to circumvent them by creating multiple accounts or other means is prohibited.
5. Acceptable use
You agree NOT to:
- Spam, harass, threaten, or impersonate anyone
- Send commercial bulk email through Summit (the email feature is for one-to-one recruiting outreach only)
- Scrape Summit, reverse-engineer the platform, or build competing products from our data or interfaces
- Use Summit for any purpose unrelated to college recruiting
- Upload content you don't have rights to (including video clips containing copyrighted music)
- Use the Service to violate any law, including NCAA, NAIA, JUCO, or state recruiting rules — those rules apply to you, not us, and compliance is your responsibility
- Use the Service to violate any email law (CAN-SPAM Act and state equivalents). Because Summit relays email through your own Gmail account, you are the legal sender of any message you compose; you are responsible for compliance.
- Attempt to circumvent security or rate-limiting mechanisms
6. Your content
You retain all rights in the content you submit to Summit (notes, emails, profile information, uploaded video URLs). By submitting content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, transmit, and process that content solely as needed to operate the Service for you.
You represent and warrantthat you have all necessary rights to the content you upload and that your content does not infringe any third party's copyright, trademark, right of publicity, or other rights. This includes video footage and any music used within those videos.
7. Public profiles
Summit allows you to make your athlete profile public via a shareable URL. When public, anyone with the link can view your profile. You can switch back to private at any time, but content already cached or shared externally cannot be unshared.
Consider carefully what you include in a public profile. Don't include sensitive information you wouldn't want a stranger to see.
8. Coach directory and email sending
Summit provides a directory of publicly listed college coaches. We do not represent or warrant that any coach contact information is accurate, current, or that any coach will respond to your outreach.
When you send an email through Summit, you are the sender. Summit relays the message through Google's Gmail API using a token you provided when you connected your Google account. The recipient sees your name and email address in the From line.
We embed an open-tracking pixel in outgoing emails. This is disclosed in our Privacy Policy, Section 10.
9. Intellectual property
Summit and its associated trademarks (including the “Summit Sports Consulting” name, the compass-rose logo, and the “Summit Recruit” product name), software, content, design, and aggregated data are owned by us and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use Summit for personal recruiting purposes — nothing more.
10. DMCA / copyright complaints
If you believe content on Summit infringes your copyright, send a notice meeting the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to:
DMCA Designated Agent
Summit Sports Consulting LLC
1001 S. Main St. STE 600, Kalispell, MT 59901, USA
Email: recruit@summitsportsconsulting.com
We will investigate and remove infringing content where appropriate. Counter-notices follow the procedure in 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). Knowingly false claims may result in liability for damages, including costs and attorney fees.
11. Disclaimers
SUMMIT IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY — INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND TITLE.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free; that any information in our coach directory is accurate or current; that any coach will respond to your outreach; or that you will achieve any particular recruiting outcome.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SUMMIT'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE — WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY — IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (a) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (b) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100).
WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR OPPORTUNITIES.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. To the extent that applies to you, the limitations above apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Summit and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:
- Your use of the Service in violation of these Terms
- Your violation of any law or third-party right
- Content you upload or transmit through the Service
- Email you send via Summit (including any CAN-SPAM violations or recipient complaints)
14. Termination
You may terminate your account at any time via the “Delete account” feature in your settings, or by emailing us. We may suspend or terminate your account at our discretion if you violate these Terms, abuse the Service, or fail to pay for Pro.
On termination: your access to the Service ceases; your active subscription is canceled; your data enters a 30-day grace period and is then permanently deleted (subject to limited retention required by law).
15. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Montana, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to Section 16, the exclusive jurisdiction for any dispute is the state and federal courts located in Montana.
16. Dispute resolution
Informal resolution first
Before filing any claim, you agree to first email us at recruit@summitsportsconsulting.com and try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 60 days.
Binding arbitration
If we can't resolve a dispute informally, you and Summit agree to resolve it through binding arbitrationconducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration takes place in Montana, or remotely if mutually agreed. The arbitrator's decision is final and enforceable in any court with jurisdiction.
Carve-outs
The arbitration agreement does not apply to:
- Claims that may be brought in small-claims court (either party may choose to bring qualifying claims there instead)
- Claims for injunctive or equitable relief related to intellectual property infringement (e.g., trademark, copyright, or trade-secret violations) — either party may seek those remedies in court
Class-action waiver
Disputes must be brought in your individual capacity. You waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding against Summit.
Severability of waiver
If any portion of the class-action waiver is found unenforceable in any specific case, that portion is severed and the remainder of the arbitration agreement remains in effect. If the entire arbitration agreement is held unenforceable, the dispute proceeds in court under Section 15.
17. Force majeure
Neither party is liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond reasonable control — including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemic, government action, labor stoppages, internet or hosting outages, or third-party service failures.
18. Survival
The following sections survive termination of these Terms: Section 6 (Your content license), Section 9 (Intellectual property), Section 11 (Disclaimers), Section 12 (Limitation of liability), Section 13 (Indemnification), Section 15 (Governing law), Section 16 (Dispute resolution), and any other provision that by its nature is intended to survive.
19. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. For material changes, we will give you at least 30 days' advance notice via email and an in-app banner. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
20. Miscellaneous
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
- Entire agreement. These Terms and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and Summit regarding the Service.
- No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right.
- Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all our assets.

These Terms are intended to be a fair, plain-English description of the relationship between Summit and its users. They are based on industry-standard practices but have not been independently reviewed by counsel as of the effective date above. We strongly recommend consulting an attorney before relying on any specific clause for legal purposes.
