Legal
Terms of Use
The agreement between you and Vantage Recruiting when you use our website, dashboards, AI tools, and email-sending features.
Section 1
Acceptance of terms
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and Vantage Recruiting (“Vantage,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). By creating an account, signing in, or using any part of our website, dashboards, AI tools, or email-sending features (together, the “Service”), you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
These Terms are effective as of November 6, 2026.
Section 2
Eligibility
Vantage is built for high-school athletes. There are a few requirements before you can sign up.
- You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. The Service is not intended for, and may not be used by, children under 13.
- If you are between 13 and 17, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian before creating an account, and your parent or guardian agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.
- You must provide accurate, current, and complete registration information, and keep it accurate while you use the Service.
- You must not be barred from using the Service under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction.
Section 3
Description of the service
Vantage Recruiting is an AI-powered college recruiting platform for high-school lacrosse athletes and their families. The Service includes:
- A searchable database of college lacrosse coaches sourced from public websites.
- AI-assisted email drafting using Anthropic Claude models.
- Email sending — through our shared sending domain (Resend) or, if you connect Gmail, from your own Gmail account using the Gmail Send API.
- Email tracking (opens, clicks, replies) on the messages you send.
- A grade-by-grade recruiting timeline, profile, and progress dashboard.
- An AI assistant (“Vantage AI”) for general recruiting questions.
- Optional collaborator access so a parent or coach can help you.
We update and improve the Service over time. We may add, change, or remove features at any time, and we’ll do our best to communicate material changes in advance.
Section 4
Accounts
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. Use a strong, unique password and do not share it with anyone.
- One person, one account. The same user may not maintain multiple accounts to evade limits or violations.
- You may not share your account login with another person. To give a parent, club coach, or counselor access to your account, use the Collaborator feature in your dashboard.
- You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.
- We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe to be involved in fraud or abuse.
Section 5
Subscription and payment
What our plans cost, when you’re charged, and how cancellation works.
Vantage offers a free tier and paid plans (currently called “Athlete” and “Team” in our pricing). Current pricing is published at vantage-recruiting.com/#pricing. If pricing changes, the new pricing applies to renewals after the change goes into effect; we will not change the price of your current billing period.
- Auto-renewal. Paid plans automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually) until you cancel.
- Cancellation. You can cancel at any time from your dashboard. After cancellation, your paid features remain active through the end of the current billing period; we do not pro-rate refunds for partial periods.
- Refunds. Except as required by applicable law, fees are non-refundable. If you believe you were charged in error, email Zacklein555@gmail.com within 30 days of the charge.
- Payment processor. Stripe processes all payments. We do not receive or store your full card details.
- Taxes. Prices do not include applicable sales tax, VAT, or similar taxes, which we may add at checkout where required.
Section 6
Acceptable use
The few things that get an account suspended.
When using Vantage, you agree not to:
- Send spam, harassment, threats, abusive content, or sexually explicit material.
- Impersonate another person, athlete, parent, coach, or organization, or misrepresent who you are.
- Use the platform to harass college coaches, send messages after a coach has asked you to stop, or otherwise contact coaches in a way they have refused.
- Send mass unsolicited or commercial emails outside the legitimate recruiting context for which Vantage is designed.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Service, except where such restriction is prohibited by law.
- Scrape, crawl, copy, or republish the Vantage coach database or any other substantial portion of the Service.
- Use the Service to violate NCAA, NAIA, or state high-school athletic association rules. Read our NCAA Compliance guide before sending outreach.
- Interfere with the Service, attack our infrastructure, or probe for vulnerabilities without authorization.
- Upload malware, run automated bots beyond reasonable use, or evade rate limits.
- Use the Service to violate any law or any third party’s rights.
Section 7
AI-generated content
What our AI does well, and what you’re responsible for.
Vantage’s email writer and Vantage AI assistant use Anthropic Claude models. The AI generates suggestions based on the inputs you provide — your profile, your prompts, and the recruiting context you share with it.
AI output is a starting point, not the final word. You are responsible for reviewing every AI-generated message, fact, and recommendation before relying on it or sending it to a coach. Recruiting rules, deadlines, eligibility requirements, and program-specific facts change frequently and vary by division, school, and state. Always verify with primary sources (the school’s athletic department, the NCAA Eligibility Center, or your high-school athletic association) before acting on important facts.
AI models may occasionally produce inaccurate, biased, or outdated content. We make no guarantee that AI output will be error-free.
Section 8
Email sending and tracking
How sending works, what we track, and what you authorize.
When you click Send on a message inside Vantage, you authorize us to deliver that message on your behalf — either from our shared sending domain via Resend, or, if you have connected Gmail, from your own Gmail address using the gmail.send scope. See our Privacy Policy, Section 4 for the Google API Limited Use disclosure.
Emails sent through Vantage include a small tracking pixel and rewritten click-through links so we can record opens, link clicks, and replies. You can see these events in your dashboard.
You are solely responsible for the content of every email you send through the Service, including subject lines, bodies, attachments, and recipient lists. Recipients (college coaches and others) may unsubscribe, mark messages as spam, report abuse, or contact us to request that you stop emailing them. We may suspend an account that receives repeated spam complaints.
You agree to comply with applicable email laws including the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act and any equivalent law in the recipient’s jurisdiction.
Section 9
User content and license
You retain ownership of the content you submit to Vantage — your profile, drafts, sent emails, attachments, AI prompts, and any other material (“User Content”). You represent that you have the rights to the User Content you upload.
You grant Vantage a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, display, and process your User Content solely as needed to operate, secure, and improve the Service for you. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except where we are required to retain copies for legal or backup purposes (see the retention section of our Privacy Policy).
Section 10
Intellectual property
The Service, the Vantage Recruiting name and logo, the design and look-and-feel of the website and dashboards, the underlying software and data models, and the compiled coach database are owned by Vantage Recruiting and are protected by U.S. and international intellectual-property laws. You may not copy, modify, redistribute, sell, or create derivative works of any part of the Service except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by applicable law.
Section 11
Termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. To request deletion, follow the steps in your dashboard or email Zacklein555@gmail.com.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms, if your account is used in a way that creates legal or security risk for us or our users, or if we are required to do so by law.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Governing Law — survive termination of these Terms.
Section 12
Disclaimers
Please read this section carefully.
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
No recruitment outcome is guaranteed. Vantage is a tool to help you run a smarter outreach campaign. We do not promise that any college coach will respond to you, recruit you, offer you a roster spot, or award you athletic aid.
No affiliation. Vantage Recruiting is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA, USA Lacrosse, any conference, any college or university, or any high-school athletic association. References to these organizations are descriptive only.
Not legal or compliance advice. Our NCAA compliance content is plain-language educational material, not legal advice. Always confirm important rules with your high-school athletic director, a college compliance officer, or the NCAA Eligibility Center.
Section 13
Limitation of liability
Read this section carefully — it limits what we can be held responsible for.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Vantage Recruiting and its officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, recruiting opportunities, or roster spots, arising out of or related to your use of the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for certain damages. In those jurisdictions, the exclusions and limitations above apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Section 14
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Vantage Recruiting and its officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates from and against any claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content or the emails you send through the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or any third party’s rights, including any college coach or recipient who claims that you contacted them in violation of law or after they asked you to stop.
Section 15
Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or related to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The exclusive venue for any action permitted under this Section is the state and federal courts located in New York, and you and Vantage each consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
Informal resolution first. Before filing a lawsuit, you agree to first contact us at Zacklein555@gmail.com with a description of the dispute and what you’d like to see happen. We’ll do the same with you. Both sides agree to try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days before either side starts formal proceedings.
If you live outside the United States, mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country may give you additional rights that this Section does not override.
Section 16
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email or with an in-app notice before the new Terms take effect, and we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the Service after the new Terms take effect means you accept them. If you don’t agree to the new Terms, you should stop using the Service and delete your account.
