A Legal Disclaimer

PATHS Clinic Sports & Talent Management operates in alignment with current Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) regulations as set by the NCAA, state-specific laws, and other governing athletic bodies. Our services are designed to support athletes in maximizing their NIL opportunities while maintaining full compliance with applicable rules.

1. Regulatory Compliance: We continuously monitor NIL legislation and NCAA regulations to ensure that our services align with the latest standards. However, as NIL rules vary across states and institutions, athletes are encouraged to seek independent legal advice to address any jurisdiction-specific requirements or nuances that may affect their eligibility or deal terms.

2. Eligibility Assurance: Before finalizing any NIL agreement, PATHS Clinic conducts a compliance review to confirm that the proposed arrangement adheres to the athlete’s eligibility requirements as outlined by their educational institution and governing athletic body. This process helps protect the athlete’s status and avoids unintended conflicts with school or league rules.

3. Contractual Compliance Review: We evaluate NIL contracts to ensure that they meet ethical and regulatory standards, safeguarding the athlete’s interests. This includes confirming that compensation terms, exclusivity clauses, and brand obligations comply with relevant NIL guidelines and do not jeopardize the athlete’s eligibility or reputation.

4. Disclosure Obligations: Athletes are required to disclose NIL agreements to their educational institutions or sports governing bodies as per institutional or NCAA guidelines. PATHS Clinic provides guidance and support in preparing necessary disclosures, ensuring that all information is communicated transparently and in compliance with reporting requirements.

5. Ongoing Compliance Support: As NIL regulations evolve, PATHS Clinic offers continued support to help athletes navigate any changes that may impact their existing or future NIL deals. We provide updated resources and consultations to ensure that all active agreements and new opportunities remain in alignment with the most current laws and standards.

Disclaimer: While PATHS Clinic strives to provide accurate guidance, NIL regulations are complex and subject to change. Clients are advised to consult with qualified legal professionals for specific legal advice tailored to their unique circumstances and jurisdictional requirements.

Advisory and Informational Support
The services offered by PATHS Clinic are designed to inform and guide athletes through various aspects of their careers, from contract negotiations to personal wellness. Our guidance is advisory in nature, intended to support athletes in making informed decisions that align with their personal and professional goals. However, decisions made based on our guidance should be independently verified with qualified professionals, such as legal, financial, or medical advisors, to ensure they are appropriate and legally sound for each individual’s specific circumstances.

​

Non-Legal and Non-Financial Advice
While we provide support in areas such as contract review, endorsement negotiations, and financial tracking, these services are educational and not a substitute for professional legal or financial counsel. PATHS Clinic does not offer legal advice, tax consulting, or formal financial planning, and any recommendations provided are general in nature. Athletes are advised to consult their own legal or financial advisors before entering into any contracts, investments, or business arrangements.

​

Wellness and Health-Related Services
Our wellness offerings, such as recovery services, mental health support resources, and athletic training advice, are based on general best practices for athlete care and performance. These services are not medical treatment, and PATHS Clinic does not diagnose or treat medical conditions. Athletes should seek licensed medical professionals for any health concerns or treatments specific to their individual needs.

​

Athlete Branding and Marketing Advice
PATHS Clinic offers branding and marketing strategy consultations aimed at enhancing athletes' public profiles and promotional opportunities. These services do not guarantee specific results or brand partnerships, and all marketing efforts should be tailored and adjusted based on professional brand and market analysis.

PATHS Clinic Sports & Talent Management collaborates with a variety of third-party brands, service providers, sponsors, and wellness partners to create opportunities and resources for our clients. While we carefully vet our partners and strive to facilitate valuable connections, the following points outline the scope and limitations of PATHS Clinic’s role in these third-party relationships:

1. Independent Agreements: Any agreements, contracts, or business arrangements made between PATHS Clinic clients and third-party providers (such as sponsors, wellness professionals, or brands) are considered independent and separate from PATHS Clinic’s core services. Clients are solely responsible for understanding and approving the terms and conditions of such agreements, including any financial, legal, or personal obligations.

2. No Guarantees or Endorsements: PATHS Clinic does not endorse or guarantee the performance, quality, or reliability of any third-party services or products. Our role is to facilitate introductions and present potential opportunities, but clients are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence before committing to any third-party relationship. PATHS Clinic disclaims any responsibility for the outcomes or results associated with these partnerships.

3. Limited Liability for Third-Party Actions: PATHS Clinic shall not be held liable for any actions, misconduct, negligence, or breaches by third-party providers. This includes but is not limited to any failure by a third party to fulfill contractual obligations, provide agreed-upon services, or adhere to ethical or professional standards. Clients assume all risks associated with third-party engagements and should seek independent legal counsel as necessary.

4. Disclosures and Conflicts of Interest: PATHS Clinic is committed to transparency and will disclose any known conflicts of interest that may arise in facilitating third-party relationships. We aim to act in the best interest of our clients at all times. However, clients are responsible for assessing potential conflicts of interest and making informed decisions regarding third-party partnerships.

5. Data Privacy and Confidentiality with Third-Party Partners: While PATHS Clinic implements strict data protection measures for client information, we cannot control how third-party providers handle client data. Clients are responsible for reviewing the privacy policies and data handling practices of third-party partners to ensure compliance with their own standards and preferences.

6. Indemnification: By engaging in third-party relationships facilitated by PATHS Clinic, clients agree to indemnify and hold harmless PATHS Clinic, its employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from these independent agreements. This includes any legal or financial repercussions associated with third-party services or interactions.

7. Dispute Resolution and Accountability: Any disputes, misunderstandings, or contractual issues between clients and third-party providers are the responsibility of the client and the third-party entity involved. PATHS Clinic is not obligated to mediate or resolve conflicts that may arise from these independent agreements.

PATHS Clinic is not responsible for any misuse or mishandling of data by third parties.

5. Client Rights to Access and Amend Data: Clients have the right to request access to their personal information stored by PATHS Clinic and to update or correct any inaccuracies.
